Snoop appearing on Dynamite in a few weeks is kind of surprising considering his connections to WWE.

They cheated and went on another company's TV show with the belt. That's the kind of stuff Vince screwed Bret to keep from happening!

Abadon is way better than the Fiend.

Dave noted everyone has been tight lipped about Brodie for some reason.

So either Charlotte is HHH and is using her pull to put herself over, or is she babyface era Roman getting pushed too hard by the company to the detriment of everyone around her? One difference that stands out to me is she isn't getting the backlash from fans like Roman did (well other than ones on the internet anyway), which indicates to me the company is taking measures to protect her from that. Whether or not that's due to her politicking or not is a matter for debate I suppose.

Honestly the Legend Killer gimmick is what got him over IMO. Beating up old timers got him that visceral "how dare you" heat, and in typical WWE fashion the only lesson the company learned was "we should only bring back legends to get beat up".

I hope this leads to Kenny challenging all the non WWE champions until he's like a modern day Ultimo Dragon covered in title belts.

Kenny pretty much in full Cleaner mode, seems like he's going to do a belt collector gimmick since he's already AEW and AAA champ, looks like we're at least going to have him challenge for the Impact title.

Don Callis: really good at promos.

YES they showed the Steiner Math promo during the ad breaks on Twitch,

I never realized until he lost his hat how much Joe Doering looks like a young and jacked Jake Roberts.

Tony Khan doing a great "Vince sending a taped promo to the USWA" vibe in his little "paid advertisement".

Impact has about 25k viewers on Twitch for the start of the show, which is way above the norm for them.

Sasha got a taste of that Disney life, she'll be in that Dave Bautista no-fucks-given mode soon.

What's funny is one of Dave's favorite periods of time ever is when All Japan Women ruled the world and they almost all had relatively short careers, so you'd think he'd not penalize someone like Becky. FWIW, I fully expect Becky to be back at some point so hopefully it will end up being a moot point.

It seems like Orton is also in that class Kane was in where he apparently is easy to work with so his peers love him.

So it occurred to me how much of a pain in the ass getting to the new Thunderdome will be for talent. Amway Arena is basically in downtown Orlando, and most of the talent lives around the area due to the PC being nearby. Tropicana Field is in St. Petersburg, which is about 2 hours away in an area so remote the Rays couldn't pay baseball fans to attend games there even when the team would be competitive. I suppose at least it will curb the covid-spreading clubbing they do since by all accounts from the locals there's approximately dick all to do in the surrounding area.

Roux is literally a thickener cooks put into sauces.

That Bray Wyatt font in his entrance video is so close to the Disney one I'm surprised they haven't said something to WWE yet.

For a second I thought they were going to do a bit where Jeff ate one of Riddle's donuts then came out all stoned as a spoof of the infamous TNA match with Sting.

That little dance thing Miz does in his entrance irrationally annoys me to no end, it looks even dumber with Morrison's slo-mo effect on.

Also I love how Mauro's interview was basically him saying WWE's environment was too toxic for someone with mental health issues in the most diplomatic way ever.

I love that the first comment on that story was a WWE bot claiming Mauro will never get another gig as good as WWE.....dude he just called that Tyson/Jones fight and can pretty much have any boxing or MMA gig he wants. It's amazing how well WWE has convinced people anything outside their company doesn't exist.

Also this is the last show in Thunderdome 1.0, as they'll be in the new stadium for Smackdown.
