Any word on Haas's condition? I think he was legit injured from what I heard.

When complaining about Miro losing to Sammy, remember that since then he's had (IIRC) one match with a HEAVILY taped thigh. The guy is clearly recovering from something.

It's much bigger in Canada. There are at least 6 in my city, and we don't even have 150,000 people.

Depends on how sick Cody is. If they expect him to be gone a while, makes sense to do it on the show named Battle of the Belts. When the show was first announced, I thought it was going to be champion vs. champion non-title matches. Since it was of the belts, not for the belts. Then it wasn't til this week I realized the world title match wasn't on this special. I feel like maybe they'd have been better off running the two shows further apart, from a booking perspective if not from a marketing/ratings/tv time perspective.

Team Taz vs. the Factory would be a great series of Dark/Elevation matches that occasionally spill onto TV.

He and Lethal should have been in a trios match with Nash.

Could a promotion work with a "regular season and playoffs" structure, rather than one where the championship is held and defended? Or would that be too hard to book long term?

Fair warning - she was Allie, not "the Bunny." Sweet, put-upon assistant to Maria. I won't say any more than that because it's a fun storyline, just don't expect the same character.

If the WWE is going to headhunt Jade, please by all means let them do it. Then AEW can sign her when they inevitably release her a year or two down the road after getting more experience. They're not getting much use out of their developmental system, but maybe AEW can.

Is WrestleHouse 2 ongoing? I don't have cable so I'm hoping they'll put it all on YouTubeat some point like they did the first one.

What if it's -1?

Wow. I guess I was wrong then.

Peak Rey was great, but while I know some folks think older, slower, bulkier Rey is the bomb, I just don't see it. I think the last time Rey was involved in something that had me actively interested, it was getting fed to Cena at the start of them fucking up Punk's Summer of Punk run. And that was, what, ten years ago? Maybe if he'd gotten a change of scenery and wound up in LU or something he would have had some interesting storylines to work with, but he's basically just been a half-sized Big Show in terms of "floating around the midcard, then getting plugged into a main event storyline when they have nothing else to do." And being used to get his son over isn't doing his legacy any favours either.

Now that's not fair. He lost to Big E.

I question having teams named the Influence and the IInspiration in the same match. If nothing else it could have been built to with a sub-Midnight Express vs Midnight Express storyline.
