Also Kenny retained the AAA title. No fans lucha is kinda hard to judge but it was the best match on the card so far.

So it looks like Brian Cage was playing the Thanos-themed Purple Terror character in the Marvel themed match at Triplemania tonight.

I don't see why him being in the Japan section was such an issue for some, he was a proven draw and was just announcing him on the card was enough for the ROH shows he was on to sell out. I think you can more than make a HOF case on his New Japan run alone and anything he did in AEW would just be icing on the cake.

I think "JR is not wrong in his criticism" and "Maybe JR should be less of a dick about it and maybe discuss these things with the wrestlers directly instead of burying them on a podcast or TV" are two statements that can both be correct at the same time.

He's still really good at doing those sit down interviews, there's still a lot he can bring in that capacity. He seems disinterested to the point of being sarcastic on commentary most nights. I suppose there might be a feeling moving him off the announce desk might end up being a "Gordon Solie in 1989 WCW" situation where you have a legend past their prime and it gets sad.

Bret has stated before that the whole reason he started the sunglasses gimmick with the Hart Foundation was to hide how nervous he was doing promos. It comes off as something he was never 100% comfortable with doing and amusingly seems to be something that has gotten better with age. I wonder if his stroke played a part as well. It sounds weird, but sometimes it has effects on the personality as well. My mom was a notorious smoker for most of her life, and after she had a mini stroke it was like she never touched a cigarette in her life.

TBF I think dude might have a shot at being a top babyface. He seems like he has some charisma and would probably flourish in an environment where he isn't put in deep freeze when there aren't royals to entertain.

I don't think they believe Mansoor can been a hometown face in India, I was saying he's basically only around so they can have a Saudi wrestler win a match on the Saudi shows.

I think WWE is ribbing me by putting Carmella in the main event of Smackdown. Also Mansoor is there so a hometown guy can get a win on the Saudi shows.

Only WWE could move their TV from an arena to a domed stadium and have it look exactly the same. Even WCW was able to make those Georgia Dome Nitros look special.

Gotta love that Dio Madden is working his ass off to try to get his stupid ass Retribution gimmick over on social media, and his reward is to get sent to extra classes.

If all I saw of Keith Lee was what he was allowed to do on Raw, I might be convinced to believe he needs remedial training too. I just think it's funny that not even a week ago they just premiered a Network Special on his rise from the indies, and now Vince is all "you suck pal".

Zeus was awesome and all, but I'll always think of him as Deebo from the Friday movies. Dude had a lot of relatively small but memorable roles in all sorts of movies, and even as immediately recognizable he was he always was a standout.

Santana posed his stepfather passed away recently so he's been dealing with that.

Raquel vs Rhea is a BIG WOMEN SLAPPIN MEAT match I can look forward to.

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,
