I assume Matt Hardy is the first guy to go back, so he can finish his career with his brother.

Unless they align her with Rollins, this fails miserably. If they align her with Rollins, it probably still fails miserably, and kills her momentum.

Add me to the Cult Leader Wyatt over Fiend Wyatt camp ten times out of ten. The original theme, the crowd singing "whole world in his hands", Harper and Rowan, Follow the Buzzards.... I found every bit of that far more entertaining than anything that ever happened with The Fiend. Cult Leader Wyatt had so much potential if they'd gone a more Charles Manson/Jim Jones route with it and left the supernatural nonsense alone.

Wow, that Cena haircut looks terrible.

Well this "epic" is making me long for the Bianca/Becky match.....

The new IC and US Titles are really ugly.

Actually, I don't think it is. I had Smackdown on last night, and my wife who doesn't like wrestling happened to be paying attention during the Corbin stuff and her first question was "Are they making fun of poor people?"

That pop was fucking insane.

Just rolling my eyes at their ridiculous verbiage.

Maybe he debuts at the beginning of the show and becomes the 5th man on the announce team!

............a Brood Bath............ They can't even call fake liquid falling from the ceiling a blood bath? This fucking company is ridiculous.

As long as Punk's been out at this point, I don't think working him this way makes a huge difference to non-hardcore fans. I think Bryan is more the guy to use to attract newer, casual fans. With "Ride of the Valykries" being public domain, I would run commercials during Raw and Smackdown for weeks with that song playing, and the words He's Coming in maroon letters. Then end it with All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite, the date of the show, and Only on TNT.

Why is Chessman dressed like The Baroness?

Deonna/Faby could have been SO good, but way too much crooked referee bullshit. Maybe when both titles aren't on the line, we can get a real match.

I don't remember Jamie Hayter being there 2 years ago! Definitely a flat "reveal" but still an over all well done hour of wrestling.

Jericho is so annoying on commentary. I really hope this booth is just for the first episode.

I mean....that could work.... But what if instead... he showed up unannounced, and jobbed to Bobby Lashley in 5 minutes! That's Some Good Shit, Pal! In all seriousness, Keith Lee is one of my 2 or 3 favorite modern talents, and I am very glad to hear that he is going to be okay.

For me the extreme or hardcore style peaked with ECW, and I wish it had died there. When it was just tables, chairs, trash cans, etc and the barbed wire match was the epitome of dangerous. I didn't even mind FMW with their somewhat more extreme version of that same style. At first all of this glass, light tubes, staple guns stuff was a neat oddity, but now it just keeps getting more and more and with shit like this knife slashing I'm afraid of how much further they will have to go to satisfy things eventually. My other issue with it, is that a lot of these guys don't need to do it. When I was working as a ring announcer and a commentator, I worked a ton of shows with Matt Tremont and G-Raver. When they did matches that didn't involve that shit, I thought they were just as good or better than when they were maiming themselves for the same pay. But I guess it doesn't get you noticed. I never had a problem with stuff like Abdullah and his fork, and The Sheik's pencil, because if we are being honest, 95% of the time you could see from the way they were holding it, that it was making minimal contact with the opponent anyway. So, while I don't have the Cornette levels of disdain for the participants and the fans of deathmatches and angles like the knife thing, it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if it dried up and went away tomorrow.

Damn. That's awful. An all time great, gone way too young. Rest in Peace.

I just got a copy of his book in the mail yesterday. Very sorry to hear this. RIP Mr. Hamilton
