The way it's going, TK won't ever be able to book Page vs Punk out of fear Hangman will beat the shit out of him.

I don't get why he seems to have such a hard on for Page. With the Bucks/Kenny at least there's the whole VP thing, but it seems like Hangman's only crimes are being friends with people Punk doesn't like and not accepting his attempts to give him advice. Like I get it the youngins should be listening to the old heads but if they don't want to hear it then just drop it.

Collision quickly became the Smackdown of AEW in that it's the way better weekly show.

To be fair I think the idea was for Shida to get a main event spot as part of her deal as pandemic champ getting a run with people in the stands, and Anna Jay was just the opponent du jour.

Also paging @KawadaSmile , they just announced that Tanya is going to have a Brazil costume in the new Mortal Kombat game coming out next month.

I would just ban top rope headbutt type moves period, slap or no slap. As you said it looks atrocious 90% of the time, if you fuck it up you give each other severe head trauma. There's no upside here. Funny how as a kid I never noticed the bias since I too felt NWA/WCW was better. It is pretty apparent looking back, but at the time I was like "yeah this all checks out". It wasn't until 97-98 that I thought the WWF was the better product.

I suppose that was the least nonsensical reason for Jimmy to do what he did. I can understand them wanting to keep their biggest storyline in years going, but it still does feel like a jump the shark moment.

also I bought my tickets for Payback so I can acknowledge the Tribal Chief in person

The feud needs to end yesterday, but holy shit did Mia yeet Scarlett across the announce table.

Maybe it's just me projecting because I was one of them, but part of me thinks Kawada would probably find it cool that a bunch of American nerds were singing his praises back in the day to the point it's just gospel now to anyone who's a NA based rasslin fan.

He did not have a good experience on excursion to the US/Canada and would barely speak of, it. In fairness he spent that time in Texas and Calgary in the 80s , so god knows what horrors he walked in on.

Also wouldn't it be amazing if Eddie's worship of Kawada ends up changing his views on foreigners? It's like those two are like the little kid and the old man from Up.

As someone who sunk way too much time in Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 on the N64 back in the day, I marked the fuck out hearing Kawada's theme. All of a sudden I was 19 years old in my bedroom wailing on geeks with Dangerous K all over again.

Not that it makes him saying it any better, but I can 100% Bryan is so in he bubble he had no idea why that was such an awful idea. I like Bryan and usually find his work entertaining, but god damn does that man have ZERO awareness of anything outside of MMA or pro wrestling.

Darby/Sting vs Swerve/Fox for All In is going to be fun, I just hope Sting doesn't decide to dive off the top of Wembley

BCC vs Lucha Bros banging as expected

OK, the skit with MJF pegging kids in dodgeball cracked me up

Starting up Dynamite, and Daddy Magic cutting a heartfelt promo while still sounding coked up was impressive.

So I wonder what the plan is with Angel and Humberto......its so unlike WWE to build on a family history they didn't have a part in at some point

Dragunov looks like an off brand Vladimir Lenin with that beard/suit combo tonight.

PWI was, as Pete stated, reaching out to the first wave of smartened up internet fans who very much felt that Malenko/Benoit/Eddie types were being wasted by the old farts in WCW so it would be the easy play for the magazine to suck up to them by saying "yeah we agree those guys you like are the best".

The finish makes me wonder if that won't end up being the impetus for the feud we apparently are getting

The women's tag titles are still under the Sasha Curse I see

Seeing New Day back reminded me that Big E said in an interview recently that he's discussed maybe getting into commentary if he doesn't return to the ring. I hope that happens since wrestling is better with Big E around.

LA Knight vs Miz promo battle was good shit, pal
