So Omega vs Jack Evans for the AAA title will take place tomorrow for AEW Dark. As cubsfan pointed out, the irony is Jack could never get an AAA title match while he was in AAA, but he gets one in AEW.

Randy has good heel charisma, I suppose. Like everything else about him, it only shows up when he feels like it.

They won't. It will just be the next battle in the Great T Shirt War of 2019.

In the WWF, Nash was expected to draw against big cartoon stiffs and never got to work with anyone worth a damn until the Bret feud, which ended up being some of his best work there. In WCW it was more personality driven which was directly in his wheelhouse. I mean, the nWo wasn't exactly rocket science. You get three great promo guys at the start and let them run wild, the checks write themselves.

Is it me, or does Jungle Boy look like a third Young Buck when he has his hair back like that?

Also I wonder if when Vince decided to start the Wednesday Wars he envisioned a scenario where Raw would end with Hunter basically pleading for everyone to watch NXT because all the big boy brand folks would be there.

Dave hit it directly on the head. Other than Brock/Rey everything else for Survivor Series is just a bunch of T shirts fighting each other. It makes everyone involved look like the largest possible geek since no one will give two shits about the BRANDS like a week after the show max.

Her and Seth are probably fighting over who gets to reply first.

Damn this brand war causing us to see lucha on lucha violence!

Locker Room Leader Seth giving the fans the opportunity to go pee and grab a fresh beer so no one thinks they're sexist for doing it during a women's match. True hero, that man.

Grasping at the thinnest of sliver linings but it was nice to see Lashley bringing back the full nelson. Simple, basic, and 100% believable a dude that size could fuck someone up with it.

Seems like grasping at straws to try to compare Daddy Khan possibly pulling some shenanigans to buy a stadium to the Saudis possibly holding most of WWE sorta-hostage. Also kind of surprised that the usual Twitter dummies haven't tried to cook up a conspiracy theory since Tony replied to a Punk tweet.

WWE's ratings routinely take a hit during football season, as was pointed out above you can make a chicken-or-egg argument about whether it's due to the actual NFL games impact them directly, or if it goes down because WWE basically gives up until football's over.

It's been that way for a long time, the only difference now is there aren't people like Rock or Cena around who can spin the shit they're given to work with into gold.

For those who care about such things, the remaining episodes of WCW Thunder are set to drop on Monday.

There's probably only been a handful of major pro wrestling stars that could legit beat someone's ass in a fight. Mostly because they weren't trained to fight for real, they were trained to work and sell.

Calling someone a pedo isn't a joke though. If he said Justin Roberts is a geek who's mom dresses him funny it would be a joke, that while still kind of mean, can be brushed off as a joke. Calling someone a pedo just for giggles, especially when you're someone like Cornette who has tons of fans who treat everything he says as the Word of God, can be borderline dangerous. You just don't say shit like that.

In other news, Mike Johnson is reporting Oney Lorcan is the latest WWE guy to request a release.

As far as Joey Styles goes, the first 3 or so years of ECW he was really good. Like next level above anyone else at the time good. I think by the end there was a definite "Tony at the end of WCW" vibe from him where he knew the end was near and was not putting forth the same level of effort.

Even just Mauro and Nigel would be a vast improvement. Nigel seems to know how to work with Mauro and when to get out of the way, while Beth is out there just yelling random phrases.

Mauro absolutely doesn't know how to get the talent over, there's been countless times where something happens and Mauro ends up stepping all over the other announcers just to get his shit in. Hell, maybe that's the problem. Maybe Mauro should be alone in the booth so that the others don't have to yell the entire show to get a word in edgewise and he's have more room to get all his references in.

Yeah but at this point the Penis Guy (TM Ken Shamrock) has the ability to take the moral high ground on a guy who constantly makes homophobic jokes towards people who don't pro wrestle in a way he likes. Yes Ryan has made stupid comments in the past but (as far as I know) he's knocked that shit off once it was clear that wasn't going to fly anymore rather than doubling down every time. Besides, it's not surprising that the people who Cornette always single out will come back to dunk on him when he says something stupid. .Not to mention what he said is 100% correct, all Cornette does now is foster an us vs them mentality which does no one any favors.

So are we supposed to think it was Bayley killing everyone on NXT or is this still some sort of seed for a Dakota Kai heel turn?

Smackdown just posted it's lowest rating since moving to Fox (the week on FS1 doesn't count).

Yeah, that's really not something you want to throw around just because you don't like someone.
