There really wasn't any way Pillman Jr was winning that one. Not only was this whole program just a way to reheat MJF, the way AEW has been booking their Young Lions is that they show a little more each time in losing until they break through with a big win.

They probably would have put Bryan over had Kenny not already lost to Christian. They're super protective of the champ and there wasn't any way they were going to have the champ lose twice relatively quickly like that. I still think a draw is what's Best for Business anyway so it works for me.

I thought it was smart to do a draw, and a 30 minute one at that. Everyone knows both guys are capable of going twice that long (and then some) but you put that shit on PPV and do mega business. Give the people a free sample on TV and have them pay for the main course. It still feels weird seeing a national wrestling company doing booking moves that make sense again.

Omega's matches everywhere he goes have been nothing short of spectacular so I don't really mind the wacky stuff.

If Bryan had any doubts he made the right choice, those should be squashed now. Never heard an opening bell get a pop like that.

Not fucking around, starting off with Danielson/Omega.

One thing that is getting tiresome already is how everyone has to mention NXT TWO POINT OH like 10 times a promo now. It's just so WWE to make branding your top priority but do it in such an obvious, non-natural, "how do you do fellow kids?" way.

It's like the Matrix glitched and somehow we got a second Scott Steiner in our timeline. I'm 100% on the BRON TRAIN.

Someone posted a pic taken by someone in the crowd that showed Bron was wearing what looked like his dad's "BITE ME" boots.

*has no idea what Fort Boyard is* *looks it up* Ya'll French are crazy

Also Dave really needs to stop blindly trusting these reports he gets from the arenas, this may be the most egregious example but it's hardly the first time.

In other news, SRS is reporting NXT 2.0 is gonna get more "edgy" in terms of aggression and language, and also in terms of the costuming of the women all per Vince's directive. ATTITUDE ERA IS BACK, BABY!

If the report was wrong then it was wrong, but the idea fucking DAVE MELTZER needs to get clout off of a shitty women's segment on RAW has me rolling.

I would submit to @cm funk that folks have been treating you the way they have because you have been very dismissive of folks saying they were victims of sexual assault. You seem to think it's ludicrous that Flair would force an unwilling participant to touch his junk when the man's own book has stories of him tapping women on the head with it.

Let's not forget the stories of Shawn banging Tammy Sytch while her and Candido were working things out, and making sure he rubbed Chris' nose in it. Also allegedly copious amounts of nose candy were involved as well. He then tossed her aside when he was done with her like a sack of garbage, which I'm sure did wonders for her considering how she turned out. Also that was the reason Bret got so upset at the "Sunny Days" comment. Not only was it an attempt at fucking up his personal life, he was accusing Bret of doing what he did IRL.

That's why the squashing was so bad. There was no reason to Bob Backlund the guy. If you want to belt Brock, that's fine, but there was zero need to geek Kofi out on the way. Plus there's always DISCOURSE on WWE wanting to break up the New Day since that's what WWE always does. Tag teams exist in the WWE Universe to either turn on each other or one guy gets Marty Jannetty'd into obscurity. Sometimes both!. The New Day escaping that fate is probably the most underrated aspect of their legacy.

Not really, the Lions are usually a .500 or below team. Aaron Rodgers completely shit the bed last week so there could be interest in if it was just a bad week or a sign he's washed.

KawadaSmile is about to ascend into nirvana with the main event kicking off.

CHARLY is over apparently.

lol the Ric Flair CarShield commercial just aired, right when Wrestling Twitter is abuzz over Ric's decision to tweet through his latest scandal.

The best part of the BIG MEATY MEN promo is how everyone around him is absolutely losing their shit and E just keeps on trucking. Like he needs the world to know he wants to see these men slapping meat and goddamnit nothing is going to stop him.

Bruce as Lumberg got a legit lol out of me.

Especially since WWE has spent decades low key smearing Martha Hart by making her out as this evil witch who hates wrestling and is trying to keep his fans from celebrating his legacy because she kept telling them to fuck off. She never wanted to deny the fans their chance to celebrate Owen, she just didn't want the company responsible for his death to be able to babyface themselves over it. Now she gets to be able to honor Owen's legacy, get eyes on her charity, and make sure the company that killed him can't use it for their bullshit PR purposes. Martha's awesome.

Looking forward to Hunter ending up in an Office Space scenario where he has to explain what it is he actually does for the company now that NXT is seemingly out of his control and Johnny Ace seems to be the Talent Relations guy.

Someone dismissing abusive behavior and questioning the motives of the abused party speaking out is just as much of a shitbag as the abuser IMO because their behavior emboldens abusers to keep doing what they do. I won't feel any sorrow about Tommy getting dragged for putting his entire ass on display.
