This show was a nice reminder how fun shows at Daily's Place can be when it isn't used as a pandemic shelter. I like when you get shows at different looking places like when WCW would do Spring Break shows and those post-nWo formation Nitros outside at Disney.

They were booked as tributes to Brodie Lee, so at least for this week there was (somewhat) of a point to them.

I wasn't following joshi too closely at the time, the infamous letter Asuka/Kana wrote back in the day calling out the joshi scene for catering to men too much her working herself into a shoot or vice versa? I've seen both sides being claimed where either she was just setting up a new heel character or was legit shooting on the amount of creepers that were hanging around the scene.

Also he's not wrong for pointing out the WWE drones look kind of silly talking shit on AEW giving Hook a title shot when you have Jinder out here getting inserted in the mix again (I know everyone ironically likes him now, but c'mon does anyone buy him as a credible opponent for anyone in the upper/mid card of 2024 WWE?)

He literally can't help being a shitposter, but "billionaire being kind of a dick" is pretty popular on the Platform Formerly Known As Twitter right now so at least he's in the right place to be doing it

I want Axiom and Nathan Frazier to go have a crazy spotfest in Arena Mexico at some point before its all said and done.

Tiffany and Fallon doing their best Jimmy Garvin/David Von Erich impressions was amusing, I'll say that much.

Dude has potential to be money, might as well see what you have now.

Also when did Ava become HBK's second in command? I love how she just posted up outside the office and suddenly she's the booker now.

You know, I'm starting to dig Corbin and Bron as a team constantly trying to out-douche each other.

The content of Punk's promos (and those of anyone in his nearest vicinity) have been...okay at best. Clearly they couldn't touch the meatiest parts of the story in his return for obvious reasons (the whole nearly killing him with z-paks thing comes to mind), but the people he's been paired up with seem to be noticeably tame in their promos towards him since his return. Seth being used a sockpuppet for the company in his promo was certainly a choice, and now you have Drew basically doing the same thing with the added twist of being made to look like a puss who got fired because he wanted Punk to hold his hand in the locker room. Plus Punk's response to these promos of "I came back because I just love WWE so gosh darn much" sound alien coming from the guy who retconned his whole WWE career out of existence in his AEW debut promo.

Also I love Wade being a big fan of the Meatyweight division.

It's nice to see Jinder being able to offer more than "guy Vince only sees as his ticket to the India market" At this point it seems like it's being done purposefully to avoid another Hangman type tantrum happening.

It's amazing to me that Rhea remains super over and Dom remains super hated, it's really a testament to the post-Vince era that WWE hasn't messed it up.

At first the app was wonky but that's because the whole NJPW World site was absolutely fucked when they first did the recent revamp. Both seem to be working much better now, watched WK on my Roku with no issues at all.

Agree 100%, I'm here for Neo Era Legion of Doom.

You know, looking back why did anyone suspect Andrade would show up immediately in WWE when his wife was set to have her knee reattached within the week and he's probably want to support her during that.

I'm down for anything that gets Sid on TV in 2024

Nemeth seemed very much a guy who'd had all the passion sucked out of him the last few years in WWE, I wouldn't be shocked to see him go on a tear in a fresh environment.

Bryan looking like the happiest bastard on the planet for getting to finally have a big Dome match is heartwarming as fuck.

The Nemeth bros showing up at WK? The hell?

lol Tanahashi becomes office and beats ZSJ for the TV title, that's the most Japanese way to play HHH.

It's weird that I, someone who cut my proverbial internet wrestling teeth watching low quality Realplayer vids of Japanese wrestling in the late 90s, completely forgot WK was tonight until I saw the live update pop up on the Observer site. I did notice on the NJPW World app that the Japanese feed for the show has Sanada/Naito on the banner and the English feed has Okada/Danielson.

So YouTubeTV just decided not to record Dynamite this week, lame. However TK is putting his money where his mouth is (literally) by signing Deonna after saying he wanted to bolster the women's division this year.

Oba Femi could be money in a few years, they may have something here.
