I switched. Big news. They just suspended the game which I've NEVER seen before in the NFL.

Didn't really need the run-in from the nobody but that did a pretty good job of making Solo Sikoa look like a bad ass, I guess. Glad Elias is back to being Elias.

Alexa Bliss is not good.

So, wait... it's just a promotional match for Mountain Dew? Fuck outta here...

I would be interested in seeing what Bryan Danielson could do with Luchasaurus, W. Morrissey, or Powerhouse Hobbs, I guess. I like him a lot more in the underdog, David role against a Goliath. He's also really good at getting the best out of someone, even if they're pretty green or not very good.

Yeah, sometimes I forget that he was retired due to his neck & most of us thought he was done done. Same with Edge. I didn't love a lot of stuff from his post comeback but man, did I ever pop for his Rumble return. Bryan was already an all-timer before he came back so I guess everything else he gives us is just bonus, really. I do still think AEW could use him better & get more out of his name & stature though - that would help the company, even if Bryan is wanting to be selfless.

I'm in the camp that if AEW is put into a position where they have to choose between Chris Jericho or C.M. Punk & they choose Jericho that they're wrong. Granted, to me this just feels like 1. Jericho trying to protect his spot (because we know Punk is a bigger star than him, he's the biggest star in AEW) and 2. he's trying to get him name in the mix with the Elite/Punk drama because so much time/effort has been spent on these stories the last couple of months. I'm also in the camp that I think AEW would be better off without Chris Jericho at all, regardless of C.M. Punk but that's a different matter altogether. I would argue that Moxley is more important than Jericho & if he wasn't wrestling jobbers & still gave a shit to be a top guy, Danielson would be too.

Goddamn could that female ref call out the spots and time any louder? Jesus.

I don’t mind Charlotte being back as she has been gone for awhile but it’s shitty she just gets the belt again walking back through the door. Isn’t Jobber Dolla on RAW? Why is that goofy fuck here?

Oh. Ok then.

This has been pretty good too. Raquel’s roll through Scott Hall “sack of shit” was awesome.

The back pose from Raquel is so not impressive. She comes out & pretends she’s Lex Luger or something.

This Sheamus/Solo match has been stiff as fuck! Love it.

Joe does the Kokina Clutch already, which is a rear naked choke... as we all know, that's a Sleeper Hold. So Joe is doing the sleeper & cutting hair? Struttin' 'n Cuttin', S'moe "The Barber" Joe!

They're gonna slap him in the Lucha Dragons! Do they still exist? They're bringing back the Lucha Dragons!

Seems odd to not follow up on Action Andretti but maybe he'll get a promo or Jericho will talk about him or something.

If they're that green, they shouldn't be on TV where people can see it. You can tell they're athletic & in great shape & the blonde woman especially looks like she has a ton of potential, but the rest of it was nonsense. We should never be in the position of where as fans we're watching workers learn to work & then complimenting them on not breaking a limb. In a world where we're supposed to pretend that Alexa Bliss & Liv Morgan are good, this is what the future of wrestling is going to look like anyway.

Well, the finish is cool. The rest of that was nonsense.

My immediate thought is The Question Mark in NWA Powerrr. It was ridiculous & corny but the live studio audience, for whatever reason, ate it up. Like Lance Hoyt in TNA. Sometimes, I don't think something is over, so much as the regulars try to make something meta so that it's "theirs."

Can someone tell me who the wrestler on this cover is? Is it a Photoshop?

Judging by the trailer, it would appear as if the rings were not the problem, but the talent. If that's the best highlights they could come up with, woof.

I just don’t think wrestlers that can’t work should be learning on the job on live TV & risking their health and potentially the well being of anyone they’re in the ring with. He doesn’t even look like he’s been trained how is he on live TV on the main roster!?

Please fire Top Dolla. What a goddamn embarrassment that unathletic bologna bag is. How did he get hired in the first place?! He can't do anything. Talk about business exposing.

Rusev coming out in a tank at Wrestlemania against John Cena & getting Roman Reigns in a Hell in a Cell match were both pretty big deals. Sure he lost both but being the top heel in a feud with the top babyface even for a short run is a big deal. Like when King Kong Bundy or Earthquake or The Big Boss Man got runs with Hulk Hogan. They were never top guys but they were always prominently used & got a lot of mileage out of it. Personally I think Rusev/Miro has all the tools to be a top guy but there’s been many guys over the years that probably should have had a run - like Hennig, DiBiase, Steamboat or Rude in WWF.

So they basically stripped her of the title and fired her for having an OnlyFans page in 2022? Yeah, seems like the same old outdated mentality from WWE. She had been really good on TV lately, too. Yet they'll still call their talents Independent Contractors & not let them do anything outside of WWE... but don't dare ask for them to give their not-employees any benefits.
