  1. Fun show as always with nothing being bad but we could have cut 2-4 matches and shave an hour of the show. TBS Title, Darby-KOR, Mixed tag, Trios Tag and maybe even the Hardys-Bucks could have all been saved for Dynamite/Rampage main events. Take at least 3 of these or and you have a much tighter show.

     

    Main event was great and even tho I was rooting for Hangman I’m cool with Punk as champ. They were both really laying it in to each other. Felt bad about Punk botching the Buckshot twice but they sold it well by fatigue.

     

    Please don’t let Jeff Hardy wrestle again. Not sure what happened after he attempted that whisper in the wind but I thought he had completely checked out after that until he suddenly came back to life at the end. But I’m so worried every time I watch him that I can’t enjoy his matches, he’s falling apart.

     

    My favourite moment of the whole night was probably Ricky Starks walking the top tope while spamming his taunt button. I was dying at this and looked like Keith Lee was too.

     

    Anarchy in the Arena was chaotic and thank god they stopped the song the second time. Eddie looking like a zombie waking out and Bryan being a badass were the highlights.

    I’m all for workers standing up to their bosses if they’re unhappy or whatever, but man m, FUCK MJF if he doesn’t show up tonight for Wardlow, you’d think those two have at least some sort of friendship by being together for the past 3 years and he’d at least come in to put him over before fucking off.

    LOL.

    LMAO I missed this. Only thing he missed was having the bow legged walk and a real missed opportunity not having Cutler interfere with a flying rana.

  5. I wasn’t expecting such a banger from Sydal-Danielson, that was some good shit pal.

     

    Main event was awesome but man I was SO disappointed when Statlander lost and I’m glad the whole crowd felt the same way, that was some bullshit. Match was great but Ruby kept targeting the wrong arm that Stat has been selling the whole match and that annoyed me even more because she won.

  6. LMAO at that plus all the little taunts and shit he does between moves.

     

    He's in that Kevin Steen/Owens level of maximizing every second he gets in the ring. I prefer this so much more compared to two guys being mute whilst wrestling for 30min.

  7. Pretty good show with no real bad segments, don’t want to write a lot but my favourite moments were:

     

    Wardlow murdering that one dude. It looked like when Freddy Krueger pulled Johnny Depp into the bed on the first NOES.

     

    Eddie looked great in shorts, wouldn’t mind if he kept this look.

     

    Thank god for Ricky Starks being on my TV every week, he’s been on quite a roll since the Jay Lethal match a few months ago. Guy is so entertaining to watch and he maximises every second of screen time he gets. Laughed out loud when a fan yelled at him for missing a stomp and he INSTANTLY shouted “your dad should have missed when he came you punk ass bitch”

    Looking it up online, it was night 2 of BOLA 2012.  Their one night joke team name was "Team Statutory" and holy fuck 2012 was a different time and that did not age well.  Oh and Drake Younger was on the other team and now I'm wondering what the record is for total number of "guys who turned out to be garbage human beings" in one match is.   Did Michael Elgin ever team with Marty Scurll and Jerry Lawler on a fairgrounds show anywhere?

    The year after Trent, Chuckie and Joey Ryan also teamed up during BOLA with a "one night" joke name of Best Friends.

    I remember in 2012 when Kyle and Davey were teaming as very serious generic scientific wrestlers and then they did a one-night gimmick in PWG teaming with Joey Ryan where they both acted like slimy scumbags, complete with Kyle dousing himself in baby oil and doing the Rick Rude swivel as the fans chanted "SLEAZY KYLE!"  It was wild seeing the dude show that much personality.

    A few years later, a match was booked featuring Cole & The Bucks vs Dalton Castle and The Boys.  It sounded like an awful mismatch until "The Boys" that accompanied Castle that night turned out to be O'Reilly and Fish, wrestling the whole match in glittery masks, barefoot, in sarongs. 

    So yeah, he's got great personality and charisma...it just took a while to come out over the course of like 10 years!

    My brain still says "Sleazy Kyle" whenever he's acting all goofy on screen. I wouldn't oppose a Sleazy Kyle/Orange Cassidy match

    I don't think HHH and Undertaker had very good chemistry. That's a hot take, I'm sure, but I wasn't a fan of their latter WM matches. I liked the first one well enough, but it was a junk brawl full of plunder. I wouldn't put it on a best-of list, but it was decent. It aged somewhat poorly because of all the wandering and the fact that plunder use is overdone now, but eh, it's good enough.

    But every other match they had, I'm out on.

    I was wondering though: Who is HHH's best opponent? I think his best match was with Bryan, and literally that was the only time I've ever seen HHH work someone and think, "Man, I'd love to see them do a series!"

    I'm going to throw Owen Hart out there as a possibility because they had some pretty solid, fun matches together. I think the answer is not an answer that most people would instinctively give like Batista or Michaels or whomever, though. 

    Their first WM match (17) was probably their best since it was before the time of trying to make everything extremely dramatic, epic and LONG. I was at WM 28 for the HIAC which was alright but oh god the drama and non stop sad faces was too much.

    Foley is probabbly HHH's best long term opponent. Bryan's match is my favourite HHH match but as it was a one off I went with Foley instead.

  11. Wrestling was good tonight but I liked all the little character moments throughout the show the best.

     

    Austin Gunn’s “Paw paw” and then getting shoved over by Billy.

     

    Hookhauksen/Nese/Sterling training montage. Mark Sterling is great in general, the way he pops up in every other segment during shows.

     

    Tay and Sammy instantly going into intense kissing when the camera was on Reservoir Kazarian was hilarious.

  12. Loved Hangman vs Takeshita, it was all I wanted. Both guys have similar styles with extremely heavy hands and feet and you could feel it. I was expecting the GTS from Hangman but I can’t be the only one that thought he was going for a Pepsi Plunge for a second there, right?

     

     

    I feel Eddie has kinda been lost in the shuffle now that there’s so many people involved in this feud, specially throwing two massive superstars into the mix, which strangely feel like background extras a bit. It’s weird Bryan being so quiet on the mic lately since Regal came in.

     

     

    I don’t get why Jeff is wrestling  every week when the guy is clearly hurting with every breath he takes. He should be saved for special tag matches and that’s it at this point.

    Hangman vs the new "Jumbo" of DDT soon.  Jun Akiyama of DDT passed down Jumbo's jumping knee to Takeshita a while ago.

    This is all I wanted after Rampage last week. Thanks TK.
