You are assuming everyone who started cheering for Page watched BTE on a regular basis. His initial reason for branching off from the Elite was absolutely the reason you laid out, and your description of his dynamic with Omega is correct and is a goldmine, but he did not initially get over cuz he was insecure about his place in Elite, although that was the story initially. He started getting over as a face when he started just killing people and drinking beet afterwards, and sometimes before killing them. Let's not forget that he was supposed to turn heel basically because of his insecurities and the initial booking of his character. But the fans chose him as their guy and he got over as a badass face. After that, there was no way they could turn him heel. For them to go back to his initial insecurity with the Bucks is contrived and convoluted, and is counter-productive to how Page has got over so far. His dynamic with Omega on the other hand has been consistently explored on Dynamite and Omega turning heel on Page after losing the tag titles really is the perfect way to close out the angle. This costing Bucks the tag title shot cuz FTR got in his head but not really cuz they never said anything to him is just making look highly gullible, and that's never a good face trait.

It helps put over FTR. I don't think it helps put over Page. He got over as a badass dude who drank beer and didn't give a fuck. It was really the perfect face character and him going down the route of doubting himself and being tricked and deceived is the kind of babyface booking I think has crippled so many faces the last two decades

Okay but what does that accomplish? How does it help the story or any of the wrestlers? Hangman looks stupid and gullible, something which wrestling faces should never look, the Bucks look like jerks who are terrible friends, and Omega, I don't even know, he looks like a douche who is high and doesn't understand or care what's happening

I am not a fan of the no Paradigm Shift stipulation or of beating up lawyers to advance angles. But the last 10 mins were great and exactly what the feud needed. That's the most dangerous MJF has ever looked

Thst pizza thing was so unnecessary lol. Hope Britt wins and moves on to better things

Yeah, this was excellent. If they have not signed Thunder Rosa they should immediately and make her double champ

Really not happy with how the Page-Elite angle is playing out

Completely agree. Why would you involve a lawyer in your main event build up. We are the most boring people on the planet

That match went too long but those garbage spots were brutal

Excalibur is back. Wish JR would take a break

It does and I think he definitely suffered from that when he first won the world title when he was not sure exactly how to approach being the world champ. I don't know if the wrestlers' name you took were random or intentional, but it is very salient because Mox grew up a Bret Hart fan and later as a wrestler became a massive Terry Funk mark. But I do think he has found the right balance now especially since the Brian Cage build-up. I am not sure which Cage promo you are referring to but I thought his promo work for building that match was brilliant (as was Taz's) and it was the time I felt he really put it together and figured out what he wanted to be/do as world champ. In my opinion he came across as the better promo and much bigger star in his face off with MJF, and I was not necessarily expecting that.

I love almost every post you make about wrestling but you should be squashed on Worldwide for this opinion

Lets try this again

Cuz I fucked up lol

Go-home show for All Out. We can expect some crazy angle I would say?

Jon Moxley is awesome and I don't get people who don't like him

I hope Mauro remains healthy and happy. I also fervently hope I never have to hear his voice shoehorning some disgusting pop culture reference into a match again

Losing those Nitro tees which used to be about 5 times bigger than his size also helps

Can someone figure out how a supernatural entity that does not get hurt by multiple sledgehammer shots to the head got punked by a groin shot

Of all ways to book Roman, they choose the 2001 heel Austin way. It was fine here cuz fuck both Fiend and Strowman, but I hope they don't fuck him again. Somebody could actually do a side-by-side comparison of the superplex spot with the original Brock-Show spot that started this off, to check the difference un time. I was convinced time had stood still as soon as Strowman started attempting to climb the ropes. And it's not as if 2003 Big Show was particularly fast.

Going through the thread while catching up on the show and this deserves more love

I caught the end of the women's tag match. Shayna looked tremendous there. Asuka-Shayna is sure to be tremendous.

Kevin Nash turning out to be the best Kliq member was not something I had ever expected

Okada getting pinned was a WTF moment So you think Naito was also scheduled to win back the title, or they pulled the plug on the EVIL reign cuz it was just not working

They should SWERVE us all by Reigns coming out in the main event and just destroying both Fiend and Strowman. Put them and all of us out of misery. They can just declare him the new champ after that
