I'm not watching because I'm a Green Bay Packers fan & they're on Monday Night Football this week. Which brand did Samoan Joseph end up on?

Corbin was the first that came to mind for me too but fuck, look how long they tried with him. They never gave up on him. Andrade half the time doesn't even make TV. Hell, does Andrade even have to be a heel? Why can't he be a babyface to try to tap into the Latino market? There's money in the Andrade/Zelina pairing.

What other heels?

Andrade feels like a can't miss prospect to me. It's odd that WWE haven't tried to push the hell out of him so far. Or at least, it should be odd.

Well I don't trust my own fucking addict parents, so there ya fucking go.

He's the drizzling shits. I've been beating that drum since he was in Ring of Honor. I beat that drum when it was announced he signed with WWE. He blocked me on Twitter from vanity searching himself & seeing my beating of that drum. Damn near killed a guy in ROH & I'll never trust a motherfucking addict, regardless of what the addict tells you. The fact they some how got WWE to sign them to a contract in the first place, let alone re-new that shit for five years, is a miracle. Take that money because you're not getting better anywhere else. I doubt AEW would want him. If he just had a new baby, why would he want to go to Japan? He going to go back to Impact? C'mon, man. Mike Kanellis can fuck off.

And he has won a lot of championships. Don't think he's going down as the greatest of all-time though...

Man, I have loved Archer in 2019. That dude has come a long way since feeling like a Test rip off in the Impact Zone, drinking beer after the matches with the marks.

On the bright side, after his performance in the G1, I'd be down with an Archer US Title run.

Does that make Seth Rollins Jameis Winston?

Reby's a rat.

I haven't watched it yet. Thank you for reminding me though. I'm going to watch the show right now. This upcoming Wednesday will be the first time I'll be able to finish the shows too, without having to leave at 9:30 for work.

I thought Nyla Rose was the highlight of the first show. That bump she took off the ring apron onto the chairs was great. Came off better to me than Riho did & Riho is the champion.

I was talking with my friend John after the show about how this was the only part of the show I didn't like. It felt too cartoony & Looney Tunes like to me. It was just silly. Two grown men running around the studio in slow motion. Just didn't come off looking well. The actual squash match part, the Last Call Superkick & pin was fine. Just everything before it was too much.

I mean... that's a pretty hilarious fuck up but it's also almost unforgivable. That's like the entire hook of the show...

They're literally drafting the wrestlers in the order they were listed in the eligible draft pool. You can't make this shit up.

It's apparent with this show that WWE is not trying to have a better show with the move to Fox. This has been painful. It's just straight up bad television.

So, no authority figures, eh?

I don't think AEW has the roster right now to have a women's division at all. I think having the first title match be Riho Vs. Nyla was also a misstep. They need more women, for sure. They need to fill out the women's division more. I'm not impressed by Riho & like you said, Britt Baker & Bea Priestley have underwhelmed, with Bea so far also being downright dangerous. Has she had a single match in AEW so far where someone didn't get hurt? Also obviously AEW didn't foresee Kylie Rae leaving. They just don't have the female star power.

I am happy to have been wrong.

It cracks me up that Jim Ross seemingly has nothing to say about AEW Women’s Champion, Riho, other than she’s small, under 100 pounds & has to do a lot because of it. BAW GAWD HER HEART! Can someone show him some Spike Dudley matches or something?

I loved it. I'll be watching it every week. This show was exactly what I'm looking for. As for discussion of the show, this is obviously not going to be my medium... otherwise I'll just fill up my Ignore List.

NWA Power is tonight. I'm excited for it & will be watching it when it premiers but I don't think it's worthy of its own thread. Just don't think there would be enough replies/interest. But I wanted to post here to remind people in case they forgot or didn't know about it.
