Funny thing is that I actually started watching that a few weeks ago. When I was a kid, the syndicated TV schedule meant starting at 11pm I could watch World Class, NWA Pro, then GLOW to cap off the night. Now on Saturdays I watch Collision, Rampage, and WOW to get some of that nostalgia back. I will say one thing, there's still the unmistakable David McLane gimmicks, the actual wrestling part is actually taken way more seriously this time around. Yes the tone of the show is still silly, but compared to the old GLOW this might as well be 1989 NWA by comparison. To tie it all together, they brought in AJ Lee a little bit ago to help book the shows IIRC so that's probably a big part of how that happened.

As much as I like Billie Starkz, I don't know what they expected when her big push is on the AEW NXT show that like 3 people watch. Surely TK and Jericho can't both be so deep in the bubble they thought that would get any kind of reaction.

So Vikingo and Black Taurus for the AAA title was added to Final Battle, while Andrade is about to make a mini-excursion to CMLL. Didn't think I'd ever see any of that happening.

The matches so far have all been good at least. Andrade and Brody having a GUNTA level chop battle was good shit

Starting to wonder what will get resolved first, who's the Devil or who attacked Trick and Melo. Neither seems to be ending anytime fucking soon.

Yeah IIRC Santino was still doing the Russian shooter gimmick at the time, which actually was a point in his favor why he wouldn't sell being afraid of the Boogeyman.

I imagine Hunter's sales pitch to Punk would b something like "my man, you want young wrestlers to come to you for advice? do I have the place for you!"

Word is that Punk was backstage at NXT, I bet he offered his wisdom to everyone in the PC no matter if he asked or not.

So Lawyer Dude in the breakout tournament went to Duquesne? Guess I have a rooting interest now

Oh hey I see MAGA Thee Stallion has returned to NXT

Raw was only 3 hours because USA wanted that extra hour to pad their ratings, I can easily see it going back to 2 hours on another network.

Cena is slowly turning into 1997 Vince McMahon

Pic from the Iron Claw premiere:

Rhea had an easier time getting Piper Niven up for the riptide, it boggled my mind how Maxxine managed to make i it look so bad.

Man I am NOT used to WWE doing stuff like actually pointing out it makes no sense DIY and Miz would team together based on all their past storylines.

I want the Vegas odds on which one out of Punk or Seth gets butt-hurt over a promo first. As much as Punk is probably being fueled by pettiness right now, I don't believe for a second Thin Skin Phil won't make an appearance at some point.

God, Maxxine Dupri is so bad Rhea had a hard time doing her finish and she's done that on people like 3 times Maxxine's size.

Also are we really supposed to believe in the kayfabeist of kayfabes that CM Punk would choose to sign with NXT instead of Raw or Smackdown?

Funny how they kept Melo around NXT so long that he got lapped by Trick

Randy Orton getting monster reactions at Tribute to the Troops shows will never not amuse me.

To be fair, no tag title match is more Adam Cole's ankle's fault than anything else.

Looks like they are running the big arena that was built in the attempt to get an NHL team back and it seats 18,000.

So a former Jags employee got caught stealing $22 million from the franchise.

There could be money in the Nuevo Generation Von Erichs winning the world championships in a national promotion and "breaking the curse".

MJF was also in the Von Erichs movie as well as being a producer, so I would imagine they will be there promoting that.
