Okay, apparently the story is Meltzer nonsense, as WB has issued a statement that it isn't true!
My apologies for posting it before it before it was 100% verified
and Pac being absent for the big Moxley "we love professional wrestling" speech would say to me he won't be part of the babyface Death Riders.... or he is hurt again.
Womens Tag Title match was fine. The downfall of Mercedes is a fun story.
I enjoyed Kidd/Darby more than I expected. It was less ridiculous than I expected, but still felt dangerous.
The "Mixed Nuts" 8 person tag was fantastic! Well put together fun and the crowd ate it up.
Ha! Didn't have Mercedes dropping an F-Bomb on my bingo card.
Okada/Takeshita was pretty good. The Takeshita babyface run is going to be huge.
Holy Shit!!! Fletcher/Moxley had no business being that great. Fletcher is damn lucky he didn't break his fucking neck on that suplex, and kudos to them for turning Moxley back into a babyface in the course of one match. Now, it's absolutely time for the Death Riders to turn on him.
Yikes. That FTR/Bang Bang Gang match was ugly all around.
That was the worst battle royal I've ever seen. I don't think all of the participants were ever actually in the ring together at once. I am usually a big fan of a battle royal, but that was just awful.
Ricochet with the ring should be fun though.
Please let them take Jericho! Maybe it can be a trade, can AEW give them Jericho, Edge, and Christian for say.... Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, and Mia Yim.
I can come up with a few more if they want The Hurt Syndicate back too.
Fletcher/Speedball was nuts. Absolutely the match of the tournament so far.
and even if it had been a short Luger like reign, I feel like they should have strapped up Kingston last night. That crowd was molten, it was the anniversary of Funk winning the world title. Just felt like the right time to me.
100% This!
Despite being like 5'7", at least Taz looked like a guy who would fuck you up if you looked at him funny. Hook looks like a guy who probably has a really sweet collection in Pokemon Go. His tough guy persona is just not believable no matter how aloof he wants to act, or how many judo throws he knows.
To be fair, I think Nick is still injured.
and I wish they would send Julia and Skye both to work a tour in Stardom or TJPW. Both of them have so much potential, but just need more reps and to just late it in a smidge more.
