I personally find Drew as boring as watching paint dry. He did a good job of getting into a lot better shape & making the most of his time away from WWE, but I'm just not interested in him at all, in any capacity, not just at the main event level. I would prefer Jinder over him to be honest. So Drew Vs. Orton could not appeal to me any less. Meanwhile, Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is the best thing going in all of WWE. The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania would be insane & no way I would miss that. Granted, getting The Rock to commit might be a pipe dream. That being said, if it's Roman Vs. Drew, I don't think I would bother. Don't get me wrong, I would rather see Drew than the likes of The Big Show, Kane or The Undertaker again, that's for sure. But he just doesn't really do anything for me.

Interesting as just four hours ago on Twitter he said she was "let go for supporting unionization" which I think most people immediately knew that tweet wasn't why she got fired.

I have zero problems with Omega, personally. Can't deny what he did in Japan. But man, the Taue omission is pretty glaring.

That would be awesome.

This could very well be a big tipping point for people in WWE deciding to take a stand, honestly. Paige has already been vocal about it on Twitter. Andrew Yang has taken notice & now Joe Biden won the Presidency & could very well put Yang in his cabinet. Aleister obviously has ties with Zelina. We know about the Lana stuff after Rusev left. The Twitch shit, the independent contractor shit, the union shit... something's gotta give. Zelina is beautiful, smart & talented. She plays games, does cosplay, goes to cons. Has the Twitch following & apparently a Cosplay Only Fans as well. She's going to be fine financially. I'm more interested in this might be a spark for other WWE talent. Also WWE won't be able to talk about her father anymore during the annual Tribute to the Troops bullshit. If Thea/Zelina decides to stay in wrestling, she'll be a big get for any company. If Tommy End finds a way to leave & go with her? That's a game changer. Like what I thought Scarlet/Karrion Kross would be. But then they went to NXT & he got hurt...

This is insane & everyone in WWE should be pissed. Aleister Black is going to lose his shit.

I actually thought they did a pretty decent job of telling this exact story at Full Gear. Up to the point where the "No Flips, Just Fists" old school tag team tried to do a flip, the 450, and it cost them the match. The Bucks still did high spots, obviously, but the whole leg work & cutting off the ring took away a lot of the offense that the Bucks normally do and that's why I liked the match, to be honest.

MLW Fusion returns on this upcoming Wednesday with the MLW Restart. The main event is going to be Davey Boy Smith, Jr. Vs. Jacob Fatu for the MLW World Heavyweight Title. Looks like Alex Hammerstone is going to get a shot at the winner as well. I'm really excited. MLW have been using the time off from the pandemic to load up their roster a bit & with my wrestling viewing habits dropping dramatically, along with shows like NWA Power going away, I'll be happy & glad to follow MLW again.

The only matches I didn't dig were the Nyla/Shida match & the pretaped Hardy/Sammy thing - but even that was fun w/ the cameos & the post match with Nyla & Vicky is intriguing. Crazy to me they did a Swanton Bomb off a ladder through a table & it wasn't the finish in the Hardy match though. Really good PPV.

Yeah, Taz beat Tajiri like that on an ECW PPV once too.

Great main event. Great PPV on a great day.

The more wrestlers talk, the more chance they have to show everyone how stupid they are. So, in that regard, them making Twitter accounts is almost always a mistake. There's a lot more Jerichos & Austin Aries' than Samoa Joes & Sami Zayns. When it involves something like politics or a pandemic? Boy, howdy.

It's going to be insane when AEW is allowed to run full crowd shows again. It's going to be LOUD. But with this pandemic, who knows when that will even be. (I still think we have a second, worse wave coming)

Darby/Cody Rhodes (Rhodes again, too) was super good but Nyla/Shida was the worst match of the show so far. Tag team match between Bucks/FTR has been good so far. Methodical. Old school.

It's still super early in the night but so far, this PPV has impressed the shit out of me. I'm really enjoying myself. Darby looks like a star. I LOVE the tree look with the paint. LOVE. If they're announcing a new AEW video game on the 10th, I hope this look is one of the outfit options for Darby.

both men wearing pretty cool gear

That Eddie Kingston & the Fam segment was goddamn amazing. Holy fuck.

Great match. Good shit to start. Love that finish.

Kevin Nash grew up in Detroit & was around for the riots. So it makes sense.

That neckbreaker was awesome. Does Serena do the old Konnan Tequila Sunrise? It looked like she was setting that up earlier. I always loved that move.

Could you imagine if AEW actually pulled the trigger on Eddie Kingston? Holy shit, that would blow me away. This card looks great. I haven't previously been the biggest AEW supporter, but I'll be watching this Pay-Per-View tonight with my girlfriend. The Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston segment from Wednesday was insane & I miss promos that could get me to buy-in like that. So good. And I love both Serena Deeb & Allysin Kay, so getting them at all in AEW is pretty cool to me. After finally getting the election results today, after this excruciatingly long & stressful week, no wrestling show will be able to take this smile off of my face. But I actually anticipate a great show tonight from AEW & I'm excited.

My goodness, the shade from saying "I know Carmella has fans here for some reason" made me crack up. Carmella isn't a good wrestler, I think we can all agree there. But just like Enzo Amore in WWE, you could still bring something to the table without having to actually wrestle. Enzo would have been a good chickenshit heel manager that you want to see the babyface get his hands on finally & Carmella would probably be a good snobby, heel valet. But for whatever reason, WWE doesn't seem to do that stuff anymore. So instead you get in-ring mediocrity & exposing flaws instead of trying to hide flaws & accentuate strengths.

It's crazy because it's like, the attentions spans of viewers have gotten shorter. Technology & therefore accessibility has gotten far greater. And there's a lot more competition due to all the viewer options now, not just in pro wrestling but competing with everything. Imagine if nothing really changed if you compare 1980 to 1990. Or 1990 to 2000. But from 2005 to 2020 is all still feels basically the same. Everything after Austin & Rock up until John Cena. And even now with Cena gone, it still feels the same. Randy Orton. The Miz. Even when Drew was the champion, I didn't feel like it caught & not just because of the pandemic. Maybe that's just me but he's boring as fucking paste. But at least he was different. They should go completely all-in on Tribal Chief Roman Reigns because it's all they got. If the future is guys like Adam Cole & Johnny Gargano, than the future is fucking BLEAK.

So The Miz now has the Money in the Bank briefcase to cash-in? I'm... not sure that's much better. I don't think there's a big batch of people clamoring to see another Miz world title reign. Thanks for the summary.

How did Otis lose the brief case, what happened? I thought they were going to do something like put Otis & Mandy on both shows & Otis use the brief case cash-in to switch shows to get back with Mandy or some shit.
