Well that match was what you would expect it to be. Juvi managed to get a couple of good spots, so it accomplished that

Wow somehow Jericho is slower and more out of shape than Juvi

Joked on Twitter that given his wife's Twitter history, it would be him and his wife saying on a live mic "Trump lost, Biden is the President" on national TV There has been some chat on whether it is Lance Storm. That would surely get the elusive Invasion-era fans to tune in

Their booking of the women's division has been quite bad since Double or Nothing. Serena is injured apparently, which explains why she hasn't been on Dynamite, but Riho, Shida, Rosa just came back, they should be finding ways to utilize the good wrestlers they have more

No more rape jokes please!

I think Caster is gay himself, or at least bi. And yeah, not excusing the rape stuff he drops in general, but a 32-year man referencing a terrible school sex scandal in front of a 19-year old girl whose gimmick is varsity cheerleader is significantly more fucked up imo

Oh no, this shit is absolutely, totally unacceptable. Dude covers the entire spectrum of mocking mental health, rape jokes and anti-vaxxer shit. Forget about heat, not only is the crowd completely silent, everyone in the ring and outside is looking so uncomfortable, and justifiably so. I am stunned that this was allowed to air, a rape joke in 2021 is just, I don't even know what to say

Murder Death Kill isn't even a Nick Gage exclusive phrase, I have seen it used in so many different non-wrestling contexts

Yeah if I go back and listen, I will probably hate them a lot more. As a middle-schooler it was funny to me at that time

Has Chicago ever chanted that at Bray Wyatt lol. Has Chicago ever even turned on Bray like that. But it's not surprising, given how she was genuinely offended when she started getting booed as a face

I think he has got surprisingly good reactions from the crowds considering how much he freezes during his raps - I was in the crowd at DoN and he seemed nervous to me - but AEW crowds have been hot for everything so far, so I don't know if it's a false positive. Regarding his raps not needing to be good, I get that, but surely there has to be some balance. Cena's raps were not exactly Jay-Z level, but they still got him over cuz he wasn't so cringe

He's charismatic and is good when he is not doing edgy humour or terrible 'burns' in his terrible rap. I feel he is someone who is getting over with fans inspite of his rapping because he has charisma and there's a connection, because his actual raps are awful and he routinely freezes and gets nervous during his rapping. Trying to get heel heat using Simone Biles is typical wrestling fool not realizing what heat works in wrestling and what doesn't

Thanks a lot! I absolutely didn't recognize him at all. This is a very young pic of him. It makes sense because he has a role in this movie as a granddad of one of the leads. Can't believe I missed this cute reference for 18 years!

Anyone recognize who this pro wrestler is in the mounted photo in the background of a Bollywood movie I have watched a million times but never noticed the wrestler until recently?

Honestly, even if he has a script, does anyone expect Ric Flair to stick to it? I would genuinely just use him for one or two appearances for a big title match, where his aura as the GOAT world champ will add to the build and the importance

Gymnastics can be judged in a vacuum without a crowd. It has a scoring criteria. How do you do that with pro wrestling? Especially when you have different styles competing, with different philosophies and mythologies and internal logic?

Good on Nikki for pinning Charlotte clean

Goldberg and his son v. Taz and HOOK has to happen somehow. The universe demands it

Poor Drew. I actually am not as big a fan of his as others I know, but he definitely deserves better than this

I get that, but even smartness in a booking sense. I always thought HHH knew the basics of booking, character development, how to extend feuds while increasing the stakes, etc. After all, you have to truly know and understand the business in order to sabotage and undercut your co-workers. But I'm not sure he possesses that either. He turned NXT into an ice-cold product where nothing matters, no motion happens, just an endless treadmill of the same content. A part of it has to do with NXT talents hitting a brick wall on the main roster, but even in its own self-contained universe, NXT feels so cold

I would at most use him to heat up a particular PPV match or angle, but yeah that would be it. I think it's become very evident that a lot of NXT's initial appeal also was Dusty's booking and how he would develop characters, get gimmicks and rookie wrestlers over, build to matches and rematches, etc. After Dusty passed and the vestiges of his booking were gone, NXT became a super-indie where they relied on already big names to sell their shows, and the storytelling was basically either "Hey check out these amazing wrestlers have the matches you have seen before, but with a good budget" or the Shawn Michaels soap opera storytelling. For years we used to think that Hunter was an evil genius who was very smart and understood the business (although not his limitations) but used his understanding for evil. The last few years have shown that apart from being selfish and limited, he was perhaps also not very smart

Mijain Lopez going for a throw and the Fiend putting on the mandible claw and laughing like a maniac with red lights in the background "It appears the Fiend has won, now we cut to men's water polo to watch Team USA in a nail biting climax!!"

Bryan Alvarez and Lance Storm had an entire segment of their radio show dedicated to whether, no joke, professional wrestling can be in the Olympics, with judges to rate and score different matches from different styles. Apparently people had asked them this?!?! What kind of fan is going about thinking "Boy would I love it if pro wrestling was in the Olympics!!"

Apparently, Hangman's wife is due around All Out, so this is basically paternity leave I am guessing. They have to give him a storyline reason for not being there though
