I mean generally speaking you don't take a job to rescue a princess on the the most dangerous Imperial vessel known just to make ends meet. Even with owing Jabba it realistically wouldn't have been worth it for most. It also isn't remotely on the same level as murdering a security guard who is begging for his life. Morally bankrupt Han has never really existed the way some fans want him to. The guy was always intended to be a somewhat reluctant hero.

JD vs. Rey/AJ was nice as a match/segment. Feels like Dom is embracing his character more and more each week. I kind of love how much the crowd hates him right now. Lashley/Ali was so so good. Ali came out looking fantastic even in losing. The post match attack b Seth wa neat. As was the Seth/Riddle segment though it would have been even better had Cormier not been announced as the ref this past weekend. Dug what i caught of Otis/Gargano. Also liked how it led into Braun/Gable which itself was fun and gave Gable way more shine than expected. Dawkins/Solo was solid-good. Solo is so good as the wilder and rougher element of the Bloodline. The Sami/Jey feud continues to be fun and played into this decently as well. What I caught of Candice/Dakota was solid. Dug the Bayley/Bianca contract signing and how it led to the main event between Io/Alexa which was kind of good. Alexa gave a solid fired up performance, and Io was awesome as always making everythign look good be that delivering or eating offense.

The problem with this take and the whole Han shot first fans is that its kind of bullshit. Take out that moment like Lucas did, and its literally the only sign we ever have of Han being so ruthless in the original trilogy. People keep wanting a Han Solo that has never really existed.

With the final night I'm mostly happy

Wish they went a more interesting direction or were at least holding the title match sooner but these are probably the most sensible choice. I still wish the final was a different match despite the history between the participants. Should have given someone else the shine despite the loss.

Kind of confirms the rumors on Tanahashi and Nakamura holding a bit of a grudge towards Shibata when he came back. Can't blame them. Despite Nakamura's push Shibata was the one who felt like he would truly break through first between the three. It took Tanahashi and Nakamura years to really build up that respect and aura among fans.

I'd kind of love this as a story. Play with rumors and expectations like what happened with Juice supposedly leaving NJPW and wrestling in general.

Seriously, top 10? That is just sad to know.

Still need to watch Okada/Ospreay, but right now Bandido/Jericho is leading in my head. Plenty of good shit from WWE this week but nothing great. Deeb/Toni & Willow/Hayter are among the most enjoyable women's matches I've caught from AEW, but neither were anything special. Juice/Mox was a good brawl and possibly the most I've enjoyed a Moxley match this year, but Jericho/Bandido was one of those star making matches with the show Bandido put on. It was also the most I have enjoyed a Jericho match this year. I don't think Jericho was great, but he did his job bumping around and making sure everything Bandido did looked good while also having a few nice heel moments, especially with the finish. I thought he brought more to the table here than he did against the BCC.

Sami/Solo vs. Ricochet/Moss was good stuff. Its kind of amazing how good Solo has gotten. Ronda/Nattie was short but fun. As was the post match brawl between Ronda and Liv. Bayley/Shotzi was solid and a nice showcase for Shotzi though I'm kind of surprised she lost clean. The post match with Bianca and Bayley fighting was ok. Theory/AA vs. Owens/Gargano/Drew was a good spurt with the finish being chaotic fun. Kind of torn on Dupri on his way back to LA Knight already. MMM have been a fun kind of stupid, but Knight was a solid character on his own. The Sheamus/Imperium segment was good. Everyone came out looking great with Imperium being such bastards beating down Sheamus and Sheamus not giving in.

Was never a fan, but its still sad to see considering what he meant to Japanese wrestling and beyond.

The Retreat was fun. I love the reformed Blonsky.

Absolutely loved the DS9 episode of Lower Decks. Gave a nice bit of respect to DS9 with some fun moments and easter eggs while still focusing on and developing the Lover Decks crew. It was great hearing Visitor and Shimmerman's voices again.

Wonder who replaces him. I know people here hated him, but I always thought he did a solid job.

Decent personality as heel but better in the ring as a face. Was never especially good in either category, just average-solid. Kind of always thought people rated her highly more because she was a second gen female wrestler coming up from the indies. People tended to rate indy women higher than WWE divas regardless of how good or bad they were back then. Nattie got similar love initially only for people to eventually realize she was kind of mediocre though she has been generally solid the past few years. Saraya never overstayed her welcome like Nattie due to injury so she was less exposed when the NXT horsewomen and Asuka came up.
