Daniel Bryan vs Mr. Britt Baker!

Sudden heel Renee Young is jarring on commentary. It's like just because she's filling in for Graves she thinks she needs to act like him.

Every time I hear those EKG beeps I think Taz not Chiampa.

Matt Riddle is a superstar on his first day at the main roster. Can't wait for Vince to repackage him as Smokey R and book him 50-50.

Meanwhile, Fox execs are like "what the FUCK, Vince?".

It would be a good idea if Brock's willing to play ball.

Grumpy jetlagged Brock killing people for two hours works for me.

Was this in regards to something from his podcast or his Twitter rants?

Just spitballing here, maybe the next time they do a Thursday Saudi show they should just run Smackdown there the next day. Even if everything would have gone according to plan, having 3/4ths of your roster flying across the world to run a show on 3 hours rest is kind of fucked up.

At this point they kind of have to unless they want to do a Vince vs Hulk vs Brock 60 minute Iron Man match. Gotta think Fox must love that the show they invested so much in got derailed like this.

I thought Candice was the Disney geek and Johnny was just being a good husband.

I'm slightly surprised they didn't do some skit where the Fiend somehow inherited the red lights from Kane, since that used to be his gimmick back when he debuted. Like some sort of demonic torch passing.

Tony has been so low-key fantastic in his role. It's so refreshing to have a guy who hadn't been around for a while enjoying what wrestling is now and learning all the new stuff along with the audience.

AEW 759,000 NXT 580,000 Both shows took the expected beating from the World Series, next week should show what the normal ratings should be for both since there shouldn't be any major competition.

Of all the things on the show I thought would make Cornette melt down, Tony Khan talking to Mox wasn't even on the list. Dude's so transparently a gimmick these days I don't know how people keep falling for it.

Plus it was hard to believe him burying guys as geeks who aren't real wrestlers when they did a Network piece on him back in the day where his Lego hobby was a focal point.

I never really noticed it until the tag match last week, but Jessamyn Duke has that 1986 Kendall Windham skinniness going on. Like I know she was an actual MMA fighter but she looks like her limbs could snap at any moment under their own weight. I think those would be the smart picks, or Io and one of Team Kick so they can get beat up when the heels get the advantage. It's been pretty funny to see how crowds everywhere just refuse to boo the Kabuki Warriors. Kairi is just so miscast as a heel and Asuka is finally out there beating people's asses like nature intended there's no way anyone is not going to cheer them.

Just started to watch, and shoutout to the guy in the front row in the La Parka outfit.

I'm guessing goodhelmet booked that segment with the Librarians and Mox, lol.

It was basically taking part of Undertale and replacing Sans (the main character Kenny was dressed as) with Kenny in the game.

Ricky Morton, great worker or greatest worker.

Meeting him on the runway as he was exiting a private plane.

I'm almost certain Tony did that same bit that opened the show with Ric Flair in like 1985.

One day I'll be able to think about that injury happening and not reflexively cross my legs. Today was not that day.

I know almost all the folks in NXT are young folks who think they have the world by the balls, but how many times are they going to get swayed by Uncle Paul having a rah-rah meeting every time it becomes clear that what they are being promised doesn't match reality? I get they all feel they're going to change the world and reinvent WWE...and hell, maybe someone there will, but the reality is NXT is nothing more than a wrestler storage facility at this point to try to keep folks away from AEW. You're lucky to even get on the Florida loop these days unless you had some kind of name on the indies.
