  1. Last night's show was all right. Nothing spectacular...especially for an anniversary show. They loaded up everything on that front for next week. Fenix vs. Nick was all right. The Adam Cole/Roddy skit was funny especially with the music which you heard the second time it aired. The Kenny/Jericho vs. Takeshita/Fletcher match was good. I loved the opening with Tony being morally offended by the Last Supper painting. A bit long, but good. Everytime you think Don Callis is gonna get got, he pulls another trick out of his sleeve and this time it was Powerhouse Hobbs. That was a good beat down. I liked the chair shot at the end. They are so rare like that so it added something to the angle. Of course Kenny trying to free himself defeated the purpose of being KO'ed by said chair shot did look a bit silly. Timeless Toni Storm. She needs to be the TBS Champion when the Statlander reign is over. That whole promo was fantastic. The match with Skye Blue was all right. Adam Copeland's promo was good. But man Christian was so damn good not saying anything but the three words that he did. The show felt like it was missing something.
  2. I don't get why Dom even lost the title to begin with it the just to regain it tonight.
  3. So was the crowd doing the lights on their phones the new form of the wave to show their displeasure/boredom? I thought Gunther/Ciampa was all right. It started off very slow and took forever to get going. The ending was a bit awkward where he just dropped him and the referee ruled he was ko'ed. Stupid USA had to go off at 11 on the nose for that dumb Chucky press conference video that lasts a minute. DIY needed 10 more seconds to hit their move on the air.
  4. Well that certainly was a good show. Bryan vs. ZSJ and FTR vs. Aussie Open were amazing matches. But every match delivered on some level tonight. I loved how the main event went from wrestling to a brawl to off the rails. I was very surprised Darby lost, but I'm all for Christian to continue on this roll he's on. Nick Wayne turning on Darby was a nice touch I didn't see coming. I was also shocked by Adam Copeland's appearance. I guess the WWE did not trade mark "The Rated R Superstar". It's weird seeing him in an AEW ring, but I'm for it. He was probably living some dream being in the ring with Sting at the end. Overall a great show.
  5. This was an all right episode of Dynamite. Nothing stood out as great, but nothing was bad either. Rey vs. Jarrett sure was a match of randomness but it worked. I guess since they called the audible last week, this was supposed to be Moxley vs. Jarrett. I want to see that now. Perfect reason for Double J Double M A to return. Sonjay as a cutman for Jarrett would be amazing. Speaking of randomness, we get Nick Jackson vs. Brian Cage vs. Claudio. I figured Cage would win but was kinda shocked that Jackson did. I mean Fenix vs. Jackson should be a fun match and all next week. The four way was more randomness. I guess that was the theme of tonight's show. Surprised to see Orange Cassidy win. I can't imagine they are giving him and Hook a tag title shot after sunday, but random things are a foot tonight. The MJF/Jay White promo was something. MJF sure did do his best to bury him but I thought, at least in my view Jay was able to come back especially after the tofu line. The Jim Ross sitdown was all right. This match should be saved for the main event of a Dynamite rather than being thrown on the middle of the PPV. Willow vs. Julia was fun. Willow forgot to sell her "eye" injury which was amusing. At least clutch it or something. The contract signing was all right. Swerve has to be winning this match. I can't see them doing all this hype for him wanting to win a big one only to fall short. So yeah I guess this episode was just random.
  6. Not a bad show tonight. Dominik Mysterio had easily his best match ever tonight. I don't know if it was all Dragon Lee or maybe Dom secretly is picking things up...but either way it was his best match. Otis vs. BIG Bronson Reed (he's big you see so they call him big) was a match I wish went a little bit longer. The tag title match at the end was pretty good. JD (who my brother hates) is becoming a great stooge for the Judgement Day.
  7. So is this the start of the 12 PPV's a year rumor because isn't Full Gear still in November? Kingston vs. Shibata should be really good as should FTR/Aussie Open. These $50 ppv price tags are gonna be harsh unless they end up on Max in the near future.
  8. Well I thought this was a very good show. Top to bottom it was stacked and it really did feel like a big show for once. Eddie vs. Claudio had a really big fight feel. I liked how they showed them walking to the ring from the backstage with their seconds. It was a good match. Solid back and forth action. So glad Eddie finally won the big one. Sammy vs. Jericho was good. Everything I expected out of a match from them two. Didn't expect the swerve after the match though with Callis. Moxley vs. Rey was all right. I missed the dive everyone is talking about, but it was clear Moxley was loopy from that point on. I'm convinced Mox got a stinger from that first driver he took. But call it stupidity or whatever he said do it again. I thought referees were always like "if you don't kick out I'm counting 1-2-3 regardless". Knox should have counted the three instead of them redoing the spot. I loved Toni Storm's new intro. Taz got it wrong by calling it something from the 1920's. She's clearly a noir star of the 40's/50's. Anyway I thought the match was good with Saraya. I knew she wasn't losing so quick into her title run. I loved the shoe bit. Fun match and I hope its not the end for them. MJF Vs. Joe was amazing. Joe dominated and MJF was perfect as a face in peril. Loved the ending with him choking out Joe. Overall a really good show. Not much to complain about and I hope Mox is ok.
  9. Not a bad episode of Collision tonight. I thought Starks/Bill vs. Bryan/Claudio was a good match. I liked the ending with Ricky cheating to win. Big Bill looked solid in the win. FTR vs. Iron Savages was a good open challenge match. Nice to see The Workhorsemen step up for the next challenge. That should be a good match with them and FTR. I too like The Righteous so I was shocked to see them get the win over The Hardy's. The Hardy's are going through the motions right now so it's better to see them lose than win against more deserving teams. Statlander vs. Britt was all right. I thought for sure Britt was winning since they were hyping up the hometown thing, but Kris had a nice counter to her finisher.
  10. So I watched as much of RAW as I could while watching the Jets game. I thought it was all right. I skipped a couple of matches early in the show. I was amused at them going to the main event at 10:30ish because I was like there is no way they are giving them a half hour. A commercial and switch back to the game and they hadn't even done the introductions yet. Rhea vs. Raquel was a good match up until the WTF ending of Nia Jax coming out and interfering. I get they have to keep throwing obstacles at Raquel. That's WWE storytelling 101. The babyface has to overcome and overcome and overcome before they get their win. It's very infuriating at times. I don't think anyone wants to see a Nia Jax as a heel I'm assuming against Rhea. I don't know what they were thinking.
  11. Last night was a good show. The promo with Swerve and Hangman was gold. Hangman is treading so much water lately so everything Swerve said was on point.
  12. Not a bad show tonight. Only reason I watched the whole thing was because I wanted to see Gable vs. GUNTHER. That was a damn good match. Gunther is a machine and so is Gable. Yeah it sucks they had to show the kid crying, but what other reason would they have flown them out to the show.
  13. Yeah we could have used a few more foot on the ropes rather than kickouts in some of the matches, but overall most of the matches went how they should have.
  14. I didn't plan on ordering the PPV, but my brother at the last minute said he wanted to. This PPV was really good. I didn't expect much going in but I was blown away by how it delivered. I shouldn't doubt AEW when they put together what looks like a show that would be a good Dynamite. Cole/MJF vs. Dark Order might have been the weakest match on the card tonight and it was still good. Joe vs. Taylor was a nice slobber knocker but it was nothing compared to Miro vs. Hobbs. Oh my God what a match that was. The crowd turned it into a match that was better than it had any right to be. Luchasarus had probably his best match ever against Darby Allin. Darby can take a beating and he has some miracle spots in him. Christian continues to rule in his role of proxy champion while Luchasarus does all the work. Ruby vs. Statlander was good. I thought Ruby would actually win, but Toni emerging from under the ring looking all out of it and stealing the spraypaint and being mesmerized by it was perfect. The strap match was amazing. For something thrown together at the last minute they over delivered. That might have been the best strap match since Sting and Vader. Bryan wasn't supposed to come back for another month so I'm amazed at what he pulled off. Starks looked great in defeat. Claudio/Yuta vs Eddie/Shibata was good tag match. I was shocked how Eddie got KO'ed by a European Uppercut. I want to see Claudio vs. Shibata after this. Omega vs Takeshita started slow but picked up real quick in it's second half. Was surprised Takeshita won in the manner he did. But it was a great match in the end. FTR/Bucks vs. Bullet Club was a wild match. I didn't expect it to be good, but it way over delivered like everything else on this ppv. Finally we get to the main event and wow. That was a great damn match. I honestly thought Orange Cassidy would survive somehow. Holy hell Moxley beat the shit out of him. Story wise it was epic and Orange Cassidy deserves to be a permanent main eventer after this. Put him in the World Title picture. Overall an amazing show tonight.
  15. I guess Tony made the right call. But it just sucks Phil couldn't play ball with everyone else.
  16. I thought the show was pretty good. Visually it looked good with the crowd. AEW felt big time and I hope its a good sign for them. FTR vs The Young Bucks was my match of the night. Stadium Stampede was pretty good as well. I'm surprised there was no turn on the main event. I guess they must be making a ton of money on the merchandise to keep them together.
  17. This one does hurt. Terry was the absolute best at what he did.
  18. The promo was awesome. The WWE is so good when they do "real" things like this. I liked the tone of it and basically Nakamura was saying he knows how to hurt him and he's gonna hurt him bad. What more can you want?
  19. I missed most of the show tonight, But I made a point to watch Gunther vs. Gable and I was not disappointed. I loved everything about the match and the finish was great. I loved how Imperium came out and made the ring announcer note that Gunther was still the champion. I'll catch up on other stuff I missed on youtube.
  20. Tonight was an all right episode of Dynamite. I missed OC/Yuta, but saw everything from the end of that on. I assumed they were setting up Cassidy vs. Moxley for the International Title. But stadium stampede is a nice bonus for the show. I thought the video of Adam Cole and MJF at Outback Steakhouse and them doing the Crocodile Hunter stuff was funny. Tony Khan losing his shit had to be a gag of some sort about him not controlling the wrestlers. The promo with them in the ring was fine. MJF all ready told the story about him wanting to face Cody and Adam Cole before. But he got me back towards the end. Adam Cole turning on him at the PPV is going to break him mentally I think. The death match was hilarious. I don't know why they needed a bucket of blood, I'm sure Jeff could have tapped a gusher the old fashioned way. But that aside I couldn't stop laughing and that was a good thing. I might actually get this game so I'm sold on that. I agree with the notion that Jeff needs to wear the belt. It was fun to see Joker Sting return. That was my favorite latter Sting persona so it will fit with him doing crazy stuff. I guess they are going to lure Bill Gunn back to finish this feud at All Out with The House of Black. Maybe do a Chicago street fight or something interesting. I thought Bucks/Gunns was all right. The match was rushed so it was what it was. But overall not a bad match. A Bucks/FTR vs. Bullet Club Gold 8 man would be good to see.
  21. Bob Backlund had the best atomic drop. Back when simple moves could be killer.
  22. Last night's show was all right. Nothing special, but I did enjoy watching Otis vs. GUNTHER. I jumped in my seat for the powerbomb at the end. I want more of Otis in general. The guy is so untapped for them. Becky vs. Trish was pretty meh. Becky has this style that is very hit or miss with people and last night was a giant miss. Maybe they'll be able to do something with a cage, but I too see why this match was left off Summerslam. I loved Nakamura's promo...especially when I saw the translated promo on twitter earlier. I can't stand this Seth Rollins so I'm hoping someone...anyone takes the title off him. Of course that person will be cashed in on if not Seth himself so it's all a moot point. Ooooh as for what Shin said to him, I'm willing to guess he said "The kid isn't yours". It's been a while since they've done something stupid like that. Cody/Finn was fine. Cody needs more friends if he's gonna keep getting beaten up.
  23. I thought it was a good show tonight. The eventual turn by Adam Cole on MJF is going to be amazing to watch. I thought the trampoline park bit was funny especially with MJF taking out all the kids. The little girl calling them both nerds was hilarious. RVD vs. Jack Perry was fun. RVD never lost a step so it's fun to see him still bust out the greatest hits. I echo the idea of signing RVD. I'd rather nostalgia pop for him over the broken down Hardy's. But Cole getting a tag match for them for the ROH Tag titles was a nice touch. Aussie Open vs. Cole/MJF should be a fun match. Penta/Rey vs. BCC was all right. I liked how Moxley didn't do anything and he still got a trickle of blood. Loved The Embassy getting beat down by Sting. Sting almost seems to age in reverse these days. Shida vs. Anna Jay was all right. I don't know if I would have made it the main event, but it was all right. Anna missed a big spin kick into the ropes at one point. The four way is probably the best idea for a women's match
  24. Pretty good show for the most part. The first two matches were amazing. I hate admitting that Logan Paul is good, but damn he is good. It was a good match with Ricochet and I liked the finished. Brock vs. Cody was good. Typical Brock match where he kills someone for most of it only for the guy to rally at the end. Ronda vs. Shayna fell flat. For an MMA fight it was pretty bad. The battle royal was fun. Glad that LA Knight won. LA Knight needs to win the Royal Rumble in January if they can keep his hot streak going till then. GUNTHER vs. Drew was fun. I honestly was not interested in Seth vs. Finn. I feared Finn wouldn't win and of course he didn't. The women's triple threat started off slow but it picked up at the end. And I was glad Iyo cashed in and won. But I knew Bianca was winning the triple threat when she posed with that C4 Drink in her entrance. At least Charlotte lost...which is most important here. The main event I thought could have been way more violent. Why were they doing regular wrestling to start. It should have been a fight from the get go. It picked up at times, but I suspected the turn with Jimmy was happening. Can't wait to see the bullshit they spin for him to justify turning on his own brother like that.
