Seth Rollins' theme reminds me of those memes where they take a song and have it repeat right before the riff ends, so you're anticipating the rest of a song that never happens.

Man, I keep hoping that all this CWF footage means they are going through all the Florida stuff to make that the next Classic TV dump.

From what I can gather companies don't seem to like her because she's the rare type who actually will speak out when she sees bullshit going on, and that same outspokenness tends to rub people the wrong way. It's like she's CM Punk minus the whole "suing your best friend into oblivion" thing.

This year in particular they were aiming for a more mainstream, casual audience with Cain. Which to be fair worked pretty damn well for them by all accounts, so fair play there. The only problem is there are probably slim odds anyone drawn in for Cain will stick around for the usual WTF-ery that is the usual AAA event.

My personal theory is Dorian Roldan either is incredibly naive or has the worst case of goldfish brain in history as he keeps letting the same people (Park, Vamp, Konnan for starters) work him over and over with the same results every time.

Roddy Piper's daughter Teal was announced for the women's battle royal set for All Out.

If Chael's talking, he's working. AAA really isn't good at long term booking or storytelling though. Or more accurately, they keep trying to pin long term plans on people no one should believe would stick around that long. Cubsfan mentioned AAA's original plan was to have LA Park beat Wagner for his mask one year, hair the next, and then pay it off by having Psycho Clown be the one to finally take Park's mask in the end. That's a great plan except that no one who's paid attention to the last 20+ years would have expected Park to stick around that long. The moment he got his name back out there, there was absolutely zero chance he was going to drop his mask.

Independent Contractor status (as WWE claims it) wouldn't stand up in court as is, WWE just banks on no one wanting to end their own career by being the first one to challenge it.

It's interesting watching this match knowing that Xavier Woods was posting on Twitter about how he had to sleep in his car last night since he couldn't find a hotel to give him a room last night/this morning.

Doing a whole segment just so KO can ask "Shane will you agree to the stip we should have added to this match from the start?" kinda just exposed how little thought went into Summerslam. Makes KO look like an idiot for not making that the match originally.

Real missed opportunity on Dolph's part to not give Gillberg a payday.

It'd be great if Charlotte could do something else other than speaking...really.....slowly.....when.....doing.....a......heel......promo. She sounds like that kid in grade school who couldn't read well but the teacher kept calling on them to read out loud.

Yeah SummerSlam is pretty much a sellout every year now based on the name and WWE positioning it as the #2 show after Mania. It's been puzzling seeing them appear to be booking in a way that seems designed to boost a show struggling to sell tickets when it's been sold out for weeks. Honestly I think it's all stemming from a combination of them reacting to poor sales of recent shows and the reality that they actually have real competition on their hands about to go full bore in a couple of months. As far as Charlotte, she was out for a while since her and Andrade were dealing with family issues (Ric's latest hospitalization and Andrade's mom and aunt dying pretty much back to back). It is weird for her to just waltz back in and get a match with the top legend on the women's side seemingly out of nowhere. I suppose "I'm the queen and you're time is over" isn't the worst motivation for them to feud, but it could have been way stronger had they put more than a couple weeks into it.

That whole segment with Roman was so weird on multiple levels. Roman dove into the car well before any impact, and the attacking car hit the back of Roman's car. From the way it was shot it was clear he wouldn't have received any significant injury unless something crazy happened like one of the windows falling out on to him. When they showed Hunter and the medics assisting Roman, there wasn't any damage on the car, which is a pretty major miss for a company that usually excels at things like this.

It comes off as if someone in AAA did a cursory search of the largest Spanish speaking areas in the US, and didn't bother to find out that in NYC the Hispanic population is largely Puerto Rican and Dominican. Chicago would have been a better choice demographic wise, but that wouldn't have the status appeal of running a show in MSG.

It would be more than half full if AEW was involved and promoting it.

It's endlessly amusing to me that the company that can't let the Monday Night Wars end has to rely on the only star WCW created as the "returning legend coming back" go-to now.

Cain said he had two more matches left with AAA (probably their NYC and LA shows), then I'd expect WWE to hand him a blank check just to keep him from AEW. Also AAA really wants AEW guys to appear on their US shows, they may get a good crowd in LA without them but they won't sell many tickets in the Garden just with AAA guys alone. AEW didn't have any interest intitally, but if they are going to do a Fenix-Kenny program it would make sense to have it at MSG.

He's a completely unlikable babyface, and he set fire to any goodwill he had left with anyone with his social media antics.

She posted on Twitter today so she's alive at least, and yeah she was supposed to hit the ladder but missed. He's been working a ton of places outside AAA, and when he's been in AAA he's been doing tag matches.

Up to August 1984 in Mid-Atlantic, and they are really pushing the upcoming debuts of Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda in the area as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Funny thing, two months later they'd be teaming in the WWF. It would be interesting to know what plans they had for them in JCP.

He's kind of like Ric Flair in the sense that at this point he's never going to be fully booed because he's such a legend no matter how evil he gets.

Demon was the heel in this.

Fenix/Kenny for the AAA title? I'm down.

The last match they had in AAA (dropping the tag titles to the Lucha Bros) started off with dead silence but the fans ended up throwing money by the end.
