Apparently the original spoiler post on reddit mentioned an angle with Matt Cardona until someone pointed out he was streaming on his Twitch channel at the time the tapings took place and it was edited out. So not sure how legit they might end up.

Now that I think about it, if there is a family that would kick someone out for losing a match it probably would be the Anoai family.

The only problem I have with the Roman/Jey stuff is that it set the stakes too high to be believable IMO. The Usos get kicked out of the family over losing a wrestling match? That's quite a stretch even in the wacky world of rasslin'.

Roman revealing his inner Star Trek geek and invoking Kilngon law by stating Jey will dishonor his family for 3 generations.

Also I was hoping Sasha would go all Magnum/Tully on Bayley and start stabbing her with the pen to get her to sign the contract. "SIGN IT" *stab* "SIGN IT" *stab*

...and here I was thinking it was considerate of WWE do a segment like this right in the middle of people bitching about the song and dance segment from Dynamite.

Funny thing is they *did* have him in a good role in WWE as part of Sanity, but that group's legacy ended up being the origin of Nikki Cross's theme music. I'm looking forward to BFG, if nothing else Impact shows normally deliver.

It's funny how people were clowning on EY for saying he wasn't used properly in WWE. I saw a lot of "lol look at the jobber complaining" type comments, but this run is showing that he still has something to bring to the table. Like, he's not going to be the one to carry Impact to the promised land, but he's a great psycho heel that can be used to elevate a new babyface.

lol Jesus Christ. I read that paragraph three times to make sure I wasn't having a stroke.

It does say something when the Blade did more to help the guy by dragging him (mostly) out of the way to the corner than any of the doctors did for several minutes. Sometimes in all the action you can excuse not noticing someone is legit KO'd, but when the person in question is out to the point they were doing the fencing motion (when one or both arms are stuck in a straight out position) there's no excuse not to notice that. It seems like he's okay at least in a "he's up and walking around" sense, but that was all sorts of not good.

If it wasn't for the pandemic those two would be the PWG tag team champs! (I kid!)

It was actually pretty good as a song and dance routine, but it didn't really fit on the show. Having said that, I don't begrudge them for trying stuff. They've shown a track record of either fixing or punting on things that don't work, so I don't mind them doing off the wall stuff.

Tully getting up to villainy will always make my heart feel warm.

Kenny slowly turning back into the Cleaner is a great slow burn.

They had the Pope win the NWA TV title on the last UWN weekly PPV so it seems they are still working together. I see it more as Marquez hedging his bets and having his own world title in case the NWA deal goes south. I suppose he wants to have a champion that is around week to week while bringing in the NWA champ as a special attraction? Seems kind of a 1970s approach to things but if it works for them who's to say.

So how can the virus be real but the pandemic is somehow not? Who are these "best doctors" that only truly galaxy brained folks are aware of? I suppose I should take solace in the fact that it doesn't make any sense to me.

So the United Wrestling Network is the "governing body" created by Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, and they recently announced a world title to go with their tag team and TV titles. The bracket: Watts is a CWFH regular and Peter Avalon is the booker/promoter for their Championship Wrestling from Arizona sister group.

Yeah combining the titles was fine when they were just starting back up, but it seems like it's really going to tie their hands when it comes to booking a two day Dome event.

To put a bow on this, he rubbed a lot of the non-native talent the wrong way and the Elite guys (the Bucks especially) felt that they got disrespected by him on their way out. He clearly didn't think they were worth making money offers to keep, and I personally think he may have been more than a little salty that their company succeeded in the US and his by and large has not. I think the pandemic made people at Bushiroad realize it might not be best for business to have a guy in charge who's antagonistic towards a company that could help them out in the US market.

Interesting, I may be inclined to check this out.

That red cage is so stupid, but at least now it doesn't matter that no one can see what's happening inside it.

Time for some BIG MEN SLAPPING MEAT

Holy shit, Huskus the Pig quoting Old Dirty Bastard...not what I expected to see on Raw.

I love that in the WWE UNIVERSE, if someone is drafted to one show people on the other show will apparently never see them again.

Ali's promo would have been a lot more impactful if the show didn't open with the Fiend running through his group like a bunch of j-brones.
