Just who decided that "Cobra Kai prom date" is a babyface look?

As long as this isn't the route they go I'm in on this as a heel vehicle for Ripley. Let's move her onto Bianca post-HIAC for the big stadium shows.

It certainly wouldn't kill him to shave. Unless he's been filming a remake of the Ten Commandments since coming back.

6 advertised matches is a strong tease for finishing before 11pm. Which means they'll find a way to make sure it ends later.

She usually looks interested and engaged in a match she's officiating, but outside of the rare instances where she's been booked to get involved with someone in the match I can't recall her doing anything to outshine what's happening in the ring.

Is there anywhere a curious fan might check out this show on the interwebs today?

Gratuitous violence lacking the drama that subsequent outings with Funk, Hayabusa and others would offer. I wonder if this is looked upon more fondly not just because it was apparently the first outing but by virtue of taking place outdoors during daylight.

I wouldn't suggest he should be erased from history either. But I'm not losing sleep over him losing a tag team opportunity when it was tied to someone like that.

On the other hand, was he actually oblivious to whom he was hitching his wagon?

Is there a good list of Cena's worthwhile TV matches out there?

Good riddance.

Those were two phenomenal hours of professional wrestling. Cole vs. Christian blew away any reasonable expectations and would be the best TV match in most calendar months. Joe looked like a goddamn force of nature and feels like a natural in the promotion. Caster is still basically useless to me but he took a good pounding tonight. Then FTR & the Bucks blew away Cole & Christian while all of a sudden making FTR look like the best babyface team in the world. What a freaking night!

Are they actually going to wrap this up before midnight?

I do not like when Edge works an iron man match without the clock.

I figured it was north of 4* or south of 2*. The Rollins matches generally hit and Orton series had a high ceiling and lower floor. This seems closer to the floor than the ceiling.

This is really disappointing thus far.

AJ bladed a touch early.

You're right. As soon as you mentioned that it rang a bell. First thing I came across -- https://wrestletalk.com/features/story-jackass-summerslam-match-didnt-happen/

Its amazing to think they didn't lean into the Jackass crossover 20 years ago. That being said, the half gallon of milk that is this match is long past its expiration date.

Lashley/Omos was 2x as long as it needed to be. As someone who has to show up for work before 8PM tomorrow I'd appreciate a little more consideration but not expecting it.

I'm not out here making promises, bets or even holding my breath. Just enough smoke out over the mountains to come back and warn the village here.

Lot of chatter tonight that Looking forward to seeing how things play out. I had low expectations for last night and they were blown out of the water. Now I'm expecting a good show tonight and fully prepared to be disappointed. Let's go!

Unless plans weren't finalized until the last few days, why would they opt to promote Austin/Owens around a talk show rather than the match?

I imagine Austin is getting something resembling Saudi money for this because it looks exactly like what he always said he wanted to avoid.

Given the way he's moving on the stage, I'm not remotely surprised that Austin wasn't up for a match.
