This Bloodline/Sami/KO deal is some of the best stuff WWE has produced in YEARS. Everyone's playing their part to perfection.

To show how well respected he was in wrestling, CMLL even acknowledged his passing during their weekly big Friday show tonight and they are pretty much the last "don't mention anyone outside the company unless they are doing something for us" place left in the world. Also as Mike Sempervive pointed out, people like to talk about having to deal with villainous old school wrestling promoters and Inoki was out there making deals with Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong-Il. It really can't be understated that he not only had the idea to do a dome show in North Korea, the mf'er actually made it happen. That's fucking insane. Not only is he easily in the top five of most important figures in pro wrestling history, as mentioned before the fight with Ali was essentially the first promoted MMA event ever. You can draw a direct line from that event to the MMA boom in Japan and then to UFC as we know it.

LA Knight is back, baby! YEAH

Also Ludwig's facial expressions remind me of Grand Moff Tarkin

I mean if WWE wants to have Imperium and Sheamus's crew beat the piss out of each other on every PPV , I'm perfectly okay with that.

ITS GOONTA TIME

Ronda's a doofus in most matters but her sporting an Every Child Matters shirt is cool to see. For those who don't know there was a scandal where hundreds of bodies were found buried in schools where First Nations kids were forced to attend to "civilize" them in Canada, and the Every Child Matters slogan came from that.

Smackdown kicking off with Sami and Solo, aka The Uces Allowed to Enter Canada

Saraya's promo didn't go well for sure, but it's cute that now people think AEW people taking swipes at WWE is somehow out of pocket and not part of the bedrock the company was built on.

If that happens it HAS to be 2.0, I need to have Daddy Magic interact with the Boys.

Fightful reported Swerve and Joe missed the show and that caused parts of the show to have to be rewritten. Apparently they were going to have the show be ROH heavy due to being in Philly and Joe was going to be part of that.

(to be fair Altuve is the Rey Misterio of MLB, but still....) My Pirates have Oniel Cruz playing at shortstop, and on top of seemingly being That Dude, he's only like an inch shorter than Aaron Judge. It's hilarious seeing a dude that size playing the position long made famous by short kings.

Also does this mean Willow is signed since she was in that segment? If so LFG

Also per Fightful the idea was for Saraya to be wrestling at some point (at least that was implied by how much her contract is worth).

This show definitely has a "had to rebook at the last minute because folks couldn't travel" feel to it.

Giving Mox a win leading in to whatever is going on with Page and MJF isn't a bad thing.

Dave pointed out the other day that Mox/Juice was a major program in New Japan not that long ago and now it's a zero stakes match on Dynamite.

Yeah I can see Garcia going over Jericho, but no way Yuta is beating MJF.

MJF seems much more of a Yankees guy than a Mets guy, at least IMO.

JAS having a celebratory pizza party like a third grade class is cracking me up.

Speaking of, it's amazing how much better the Jags are looking now that they have a real head coach and not a clown shoes college bully who was over his head.

Got laid off from my job of 16 years today, maybe I can finally get on Tony's payroll now

Brutus and Kemp smacking that meat. Lame finish, but it means we see them again so.....good?

lol Bron breaking out the STEINER MATH

People love to figure out a puzzle if you drop clues, so it's no wonder the White Rabbit stuff is working. I'm willing to give everything a chance post-Vince since there's enough history to indicate he was the reason a lot of things didn't work, but Bray probably has a shorter rope than most.
