Forgetting the post-match and title change, I thought Ronda vs. Raquel was pretty damn terrific and one of the company's best TV matches this year.

I'd never want to call into question Mr. Levesque's iconogropy or general artistic/cultural tastes, but Hit Row would seem to check a box.

Forget about the botch and everyone enjoying that online. Top Dolla may be the worst wrestler I've ever seen, or at least in some time. Nonsense like Bray, Howdy Doody, even Kane & Katie Vick are embarrassing to actual civilized adults but at least its some version of pro wrestling nonsense. This guy is so awful at everything he does, from approaching and entering the ring to moving around and pretending to fake fight. I could in theory explain most wrestlecrap as the nonsense we put up with in between the good stuff, but this guy is just so unprofessionally bad. He's where I imagine backyard feds would draw the line and say they only work with serious professionals. Two left feet doesn't even begin to do him justice. Perhaps two left feet on on mismatched legs and a missing chromosome? Good grief.

Perhaps a victim of 24 hours worth of expectations setting a high bar, but my initial reaction is that the Dog Collar outing was my least favorite of this series. Still a great, great match at ****1/2 with great blood, violence and and fun, original spots we hadn't seen from them before, but it didn't have the the ebbs and flows of the 2/3 falls outing or the dream match vibes of the original. We're splitting hairs but I was expecting to be blown away in a fashion that just didn't materialize.

I think you're leaving out their 5* GP matches, but yeah, great stuff from them over the last year and a half.

Pete Dunne in a headlining position on a PPV is pretty cool, even if its a 10 man match.

The last few years have really done a number on me as I'm clearly tuning out the commentary since I have no recollection of anything mentioned ever mentioned here.

Pounding that like button.

Solid but unspectacular opener that kept my attention for the duration. Not sure it'd fare as well watching on delay or rewatch but it was a good match.

It needs blood but is active enough with enough bumping and fun spots on that I'm satisfied.

Thoughts and prayers. That $4.99/month remains my only contribution to the insurrectionists.

So is it War Games or WarGames? All chyrons seem to suggest 2 words, while the Peacock program says 1. What's the final ruling?

Including this weekend KAIRI has worked 7 matches this year. Those are also the only 7 matches she's worked since July 2020. Pretty incredible to come back at that level with little to no rust, with this weekend's matches very much the highlight.

Perhaps we want to pump the brakes on UFC's righteousness. They covid concerns and have openly courted this country's former president like some kind of saint. They just have a different read on what's #bestforbusiness.

100%. On the other hand, the demographics of most pro wrestling fans likely render this a "smart" business move. #murrica

I hope I'm pleasantly surprised but if Shibata was going to wrestle actual, serious matches wouldn't they be in Japan? And if he was going to wrestle seriously in the US would it really be on a Rampage? It doesn't make much sense to me but we'll see what happens.

This was one of the worst, most pointless Dynamites I can recall. MJF MIA, Moxley may as well have been gone. Little build for anything of consequence on the PPV other than Storm/Hayter which had a nice video. A very WCW-like effort.

What I find curious is that Punk cares enough about something to have any story or angle pushed at all. What is is that he cares about I have no idea. But wouldn't have expected that.

I thought it was a great match but the hype coming out of it didn't do it any favors. I've preferred FTR's matches with the Briscoes, DIY and Bucks. This was great but not an all timer.

Wrestlers who want to leave should negotiate contracts that allow them to give notice. Put pen to paper and know what you're signing.

If they're smart, they can get there with or without the Rumble.

Yeah Cody feels like the move and the timing at next year's Mania built around his return from injury couldn't be more perfect. But, Rock. Not sure how/when you get to Cody if big cousin is legit available.

I really wish I appreciated Castagnoli as much as everyone else does but he rarely clicks at that level regardless of opponent. We're just oil and water.

That 6 man tag was terrific. Pretty rough debut for Sikoa even with a predictable finish but I can't complain about a show with one match as good as the opener.

Aren't they still together?
