I lol'd at Darby's "OH SHIT" as Swerve was about to kick his face off

MJF/Cole turning into a Fight Forever plug was cute

I absolutely love Bad News Allen being part of an angle in 2023

Starting off Dynamite now, opening match wasn't that bad IMO. Komander probably needs to spend more time in sleazy Mexican indies though.

They kind of implied that was due to the fight with Dan Spivey, which also was due to his drug use. It was amazing seeing guys who were in 80s WWF being like "wow that's a lot of coke" when the average tour back then was equivalent to the GNP of Columbia.

Watched the Adrian Adonis episode, since I always wondered what happened to him. At the time I saw him at WM3, he disappeared for a while and then he showed up in the AWA even heavier than he was before. I knew he died in an accident but I never knew why he left the WWF right after being in a major match. The episode more or less confirmed he got fired for drug use which made me think "Jesus Christ how much coke do you have to do for 1986 Vince not to want you around ".

That Razor's Edge on the table looked like it sucked for poor Trick Williams

Melo at this point is like in baseball when a team has their top prospect stuck in AAA for...reasons and everyone is like "why the fuck hasn't he been called up yet?"

Rhea rocking her normal hairstyle on NXT has me respectfully noticing

Not sure what you do with Ivy Nile at this point, the Creeds were clearly primed for the main roster but she doesn't have much without them. Having the emotionless killing machine suddenly catching feelings seems like an abrupt character shift too.

Bron and Dragonov putting on another banger, Ilja vs Melo is gonna be nuts at the Bash

WWE trying to make "Senor Money in the Bank" happen reeks of Vince

Not sure what the point was for Ciampa to Just For Men his beard if his entrance video is just him with a grey ass beard.

True, but dude is a worker the type WWE fans in particular aren't familiar with. The difference between his first run where he was WWE Create-a-Wrestler #70890 and now when he's basically Dusty in a suit is striking.

Its as if someone who spent 40 some years as a jet flyin, limousine ridin, kiss stealin, wheelin' dealin son-of-a-gun resonated with a lot of folks in rap.

Using the tournament as a way to strap the rocket on Ricky wouldn't be the worst idea in the world, but him as a babyface vs Punk (who is still the #1 babyface for a significant portion of the audience) probably isn't going to do him any favors.

New Japan's english site did an interview with Sanada about him working with AEW at Forbidden Door and real recognizes real across international boundries: SANADA: It does, it really does. When you’re chasing this title, there isn’t anything you have to protect, not just the belt itself but the image behind it. When I was over with AEW, I felt how important that IWGP label is. –Do you think that trip made it hit home for you? SANADA: I got to chat with CM Punk, and he was like ‘that belt is the coolest’. You know, for a CM Punk to know who you are and what you’re doing, that speaks to how widely the IWGP Champion is known.

Jey was great but you can see the real end game is the slow burn with Solo. I just wonder how they are going to handle it when he finally has enough of Roman's shit after destroying his brothers multiple times. It would kind of make the Usos look like chumps to just act like everything's good after all that.

God I hate that you're probably right

Yuta is fine as the Buddy Roberts of the BCC, he's there to have decent enough matches and eat the pin at the end. Kind of how Goth Buddy is for the House of Black. Speaking of Sexy Takeshita, I don't need Jericho trying to leech his heat by joining Don Callis.

Bliss and the Bellas were decent to good in the ring, and Nia had to reign in her asshole tendencies against someone willing and able to beat the shit out of her if need be,

Not sure how Toni Storm avoided a wardrobe malfunction there

So today I learned I share a birthday with Adam Cole

I kind of feel bad for Bron. He sounds so much like his uncle that you can't help but think of Big Poppa Pump when he heels it up, and no one can live up to those standards.

Dang, Lyra got some serious mat burn on the side of her face
