Coffey

Goddamn, how far Ring of Honor have fallen.

I still have & own the entire Series 1 WWF Hasbro toys. Hogan, André, Warrior, Savage, Boss Man, Akeem, Beefcake, Jake the Snake, DiBiase, Rude & Demolition (Ax & Smash). I'm missing the accessories. I need the Boss Man nightstick, Beefcake shears, Million Dollar Belt & Damian the snake.

THIS SHOW IS INSANE

Becky Vs. Rhea, Revival showing up then Ricochet Vs. Riddle. Def. not fucking around tonight. And AEW opened hot with Fenix/Jackson but now they have Britt on.

Opening with Becky Lynch felt like a big deal. Rhea coming out was also an "oh shit" moment. That was pretty cool.

Yeah, I'm definitely blocked by Honky Tonk Man on Twitter. ...and Chris Jericho ...and Mike Bennett ...and Mike Elgin ...and PWInsider

I forgot about this! That could be fun.

Yeah, Hulk Hogan has showed up in WWE again & what he said was a lot worse than what Cornette said. Not that that excuses Cornette, mind you. I thought Hogan would be blackballed for life. I was shocked he came back.

For me it's more the concern of being negatively labeled for being associated with something while the controversy lingers & is fresh in people's minds. Like, I immediately unfollowed Cornette on Twitter. I'm a nobody, but the last thing I want is to be lumped in with him, labeled a racist by association & having social media justice potentially negatively effect my real life if a complete stranger decides he has a bone to pick with Cornette followers or people that have Liked his Tweets or whatever. Overreaction? Yeah, for sure... but better safe than sorry. Same reason I don't want anything to do with WWE & Saudi Arabia when that stuff comes up. I imagine a lot of wrestlers in the next week or so, particularly the ones with a bone to pick toward Cornette, like Joey Ryan or Sonny Kiss, will make some comments. Austin Aries already has. So there's going to be a lot of mud slinging & I don't want to potentially get wrapped up in that. Because I tweet about wrestling... a lot.

Same. I was also really looking forward to the PPV. Now I don't know if I'll feel guilty when watching it going forward or not. What a shit situation. Even removing Cornette, now there's the whole production/Lagana talking point in the back of my mind. I really enjoy some of the talent they're using, like Nick Aldis & Kamille.

I'm really excited for both Jon Moxley Vs. Darby Allin and Rey Fenix Vs. Nick Jackson. Plus we're getting whatever Jericho's announcement is. Should be a fun show tonight. Elsewhere, in NXT, we get ReDragon against Revival, so that should also be good. Tonight will be great.

I don't think HHH and I agree on who the "top people" would be. Like I don't care if someone like Bayley or The OC show up. Outside of someone like John Cena or Roman Reigns, does WWE even have any "top people" left in the company? Now if Bryan showed up, at least we could potentially get a good match out of it. So that could be cool.

There's not enough vulgarity in my fucking vocabulary to convey my hatred for Seth Rollins. If WWE were able to get CM Punk back and then blew his return on a goddamn Seth Rollins match, that might be their biggest fuck up in the history of their goddamn company. Like ending The Undertaker's streak for no reason wouldn't even look that bad. Bringing back Brock Lesnar & having him lose his first match back wouldn't be anywhere close to that bad. It'd be worse than all the Mae Young or Katie Vick or dog suit bullshit WWE has ever done. I would rather watch a 3-hour RAW of nothing but Great Khali or Jackie Gayda matches than another fucking Seth Rollins main event with his bullshit pain face, "selling" & gymnastics routine. Fuck Seth Rollins.

Well... Not really any defending that one. Probably the end of Cornette not just in NWA but in a modern wrestling landscape as a whole. Hope he's content with his podcasts & merch sales because... yeah, this ain't good.

Saying Randy Orton lacks charisma is not an opinion, it's just factually incorrect. Look up the definition of charisma...

Dude, seriously? We're going to pretend that Randy Orton doesn't have charisma now? C'mon, man... You can dislike him, not enjoy his character/booking or think that he's been treading water for awhile now but let's not be ridiculous. Statements like this are going to make people ignore anything you ever say.

Personally, I just don't get excited for any match with Styles, Nakamura or Strong anymore. Let alone one match with all three. Styles feels like he's coasting. Nak hasn't given a shit since leaving Japan. Outside of maybe a match or two in NXT. And Strong just bores me to tears. The 3-way women's match could be interesting though. Just to see which direction they go. Shayna has been so dominant on NXT but it's a different story altogether on the main roster. Would like to see it somehow set up a Becky/Shayna 1v1 match. Shayna is starting to grow stagnant on NXT since she's ran through the entire roster & new challengers on the main roster would help her a lot. I know it won't happen but if WWE tried to shock the shit out of everyone & have Killian Dain win the NXT Title out of nowhere, I wouldn't be mad at that either.

Jericho has been far and away the best part of AEW on TNT for me so far. He's been great during his segments on Dynamite.

Randy Orton in AEW would have been interesting to me for a couple of reasons. Firstly, his obvious star power. He's like a 40 time world champion in WWE or some shit. Secondly, DDP is around in AEW. So they could do some sort of Diamond Cutter/RKO thing. And third, I wanted to see how much Orton towered over the majority of the AEW roster, despite not seeming huge in WWE. Like when Billy Gunn went to Impact. Sometimes it's easy to forget how big some of these fuckers are. The main reason is just that AEW needs more big name stars. Jericho was huge. Punk would have been great. Orton would have been great. Moxley was huge. But I still feel like they need more while they build up their guys like Cody, Darby, Luchasaurus, etc.

The Kansas City Chiefs (6-4) Vs. Los Angeles Chargers (4-6) is the Monday Night Football game. It's a divisional game but it won't be anywhere near as huge as 49ers/Seahawks was. The best NBA game tonight is probably T-Wolves Vs. Jazz & that's not exactly a barn burner either. I'll personally be watching the Boston Celtics/Phoenix Suns game over RAW but I'm a Celtics fan & haven't cared about RAW for quite awhile. I don't think RAW has as much competition tonight as they've had lately. Obviously MNF will still get monster ratings because it always does but not like last week. There's not as strong of sports competition for WWE tonight. WWE has to worry more about biting their own hand than someone else biting it, to be honest. They're their own worst enemy.

Kamille looks like a superstar. She's gotten over without even having to say a word or work a match. All she's done is not speak & take a clothesline & she's one of the most over people on the roster. I would be shocked to not see her wind up at a bigger promotion making more money. Assuming she wants to pursue wrestling to a larger degree, that is. Also, shout out to her Instagram because goddamn.

Very much so. He was super overrated. One of my biggest pet peeves of his is when he would break the fourth wall in the name of making a joke at WWE or WCW's expense. It always came off as super cornball. I know ECW referenced them a lot & it was a big part of their counter culture stuff but it always came off as super lame on commentary. EDIT: Also want to point out that when I first got internet, I went by the name theECWfan1 because I was a mega mark. And back then I would defend anything & everything ECW but when trying to go back & watch it now, Joey Styles really annoys me.

I can sum up my disdain for Mauro Ranallo fairly simply. He's guilty of the ultimate sin of being a professional wrestling commentator: he cares about getting himself over more than the talent. Why does he have a catch phrase? Why is he yelling? Why does he talk over the other commentators? Why is he making those ridiculous, over-the-top pop culture references? Because he's trying to get himself, not the other talent, over.

I don't anticipate her hair staying blonde. Not in WWE. Green or pink maybe. WWE love wacky color & hair extensions. Kross would be a big pick up for any promotion. Curious what Tom Lawlor is going to do too but he's not exactly a spring chicken.

I also don't think enough people ever talk about how RAW is on from 8pm to 11pm on a work night & people just have lives & shit to do. I know that WWE has always pretty much went to that hour in the night & other shows have had success on nights where people have to get up early in the morning. The thing is though, to me, if you're watching RAW & the shit sucks, it's a lot easier to be like "eh, whatever" & just crash out early. Especially if you have to get up at like 6am. That extra hour of sleep is more valuable than a mediocre additional hour of WWE, y'know? Like, in this current world we live in, outside of people that are marathoning & season of a show on something like Netflix, who is still dedicating a three hour block of their time to a show? Let alone every week. It's just too much of a time commitment. And unlike if you're watching a streaming service, it's all in one live block. I can't imagine too many people are interesting & sitting down to watch the show while it airs live. Sitting through all the of commercials. Imagine if people didn't have DVR. Yes, I used to do that for WCW Nitro. But that was fucking half my life ago & I was in high school without shit to do other than go to school. 17-18 year olds don't give a shit about WWE like I did back then. They're watching shit on YouTube, Twitch or one of the dozen paid streaming services.
