Voices of Wrestling on Twitter said it would be a good idea to capitalise on the goodwill Roman has earned from this run to do a double turn with Brock and finally fulfill Roman's potential as a face. That is something I have been thinking is a good idea since the second Lesnar showed up and Heyman was the centre of a wrestling love triangle. My idea came from Brock's own original face turn from 2002, when Heyman betrayed Brock to align himself with a bigger monster in Big Show (and then turned on Big Show in a month to align himself with Angle, but let's ignore that.) A double turn with Heyman aligning himself with Brock versus Roman seems a great way to accomplish this. Now, that turn arguably failed but that was because it was too soon to turn Brock. I don't think it's too soon to turn Roman. He has been heel and champ for a year now. He has done some great work, but I firmly believe that long term, the top person in your promotion should be a face. It was WWE's tried and tested philosophy for decades, a philosophy that has made it a billion dollar juggernaut. I think fans are now perfectly fine with cheering Roman unreservedly, and he deserves a run as the undisputed top face. The main reason I would have liked his heel run to continue would have been if he eventually put over Big E huge, but I don't think that is in WWE's plans anytime soon, so might as well do the double turn.

I am so happy Danielson isn't working from underneath like he did his entire WWE run. If I never see him work underdog ever again, I will be so happy

Danielson v. Nick Jackson should be great. Someone mentioned in the Dynamite thread that Nick Jackson is the best worker in the Elite and I think at least in 2021, I agree.

Sorry, I meant Nyla

I mean he pretty much did that with Pillman

That might be true, but until recently, WWE had a dominant monopoly over the scene, and it's difficult to not see the big WWE matches over the last decade, and correspondingly pretty much all major North American wrestlers of the same time period since most wrestled there, and not see Shawn more than Bret. That said, I agree about the tide turning, so to speak, so I'm in agreement with the general point.

I thought the feud was fine until the end of the year, yeah. It was really amongst the first few Nitros of 1997 that it started feeling really overdone and crappy to me.

Nia in particular has been on a roll on Twitter since he said that line

This is purely anecdotal, but more and more wrestlers seem to come out these days and say Bret was the best, they learn so much from watching his matches, etc. Punk said recently that he used to be a Shawn guy but now he thinks Bret's stuff has aged better. So yeah while the current wrestling scene owes more to Shawn, Bret is the one whose wrestling is aging better and is being looked at as the American ideal more and more. The tide is definitely turning. As you said, it's probably because the excesses of Shawn's style are revealing themselves. Bret has seemingly gone from that legend who took the biz too seriously to the guy wrestlers are now studying tapes of. His work definitely seems to be aging better than Flair's and Shawn's imo.

It adds a layer of aura and intrigue to his matches, it represents how we are all in Fiend's world right now, it is actually the fans' fault if they can't see clearly due to the lighting and they should stop whining, the issue with Fiend was that he was not booked dominantly enough, etc etc

I don't know how much money Fulham earns him, but he can probably step back a bit from that. God knows Fulham fans absolutely despise him as it is. The Jags are a different matter. He might be a wrestling mark but he is also a billionaire businessman, and he knows that being an NFL team owner is far more prestigious than being a wrestling promoter. Hell, if he had a choice, I am not entirely sure Vince would not choose to trade positions with TK. This true mainstream shit is what he has always wanted.

Did 90s Shawn Michaels ever really sell for Undertaker's supernatural shtick?

LMAO Nick Khan quietly removing all the McMahon kids while he gets Vince all the billion dollar deals

The Casino Ladder Match with the winner receiving a title shot is next week. Very very intrigued to see who wins that. Bryan is already booked for a tag next week so he can't win it. Is this where Hangman returns? Cuz man, again, it's too soon for Omega to lose, he has to finish his Danielson program for starters, but Hangman losing again to Omega just a couple of months after he lost, it just doesn't seem like a good idea. Who else can win that ladder match? I don't see anybody else who can work Omega at Full Gear.

God was busy having to salvage the Crown Jewel Reigns-Lesnar match from THE DEMON playing spoilsport, and now this happens. Poor Miro just can't catch a break

Arn, as long as it is made clear that murder confessions on TV are not the best idea

Also, speaking of Cody and the Bucks: https://www.bodyslam.net/2021/09/29/exclusive-update-on-backstage-roles-of-aew-evps/ Can't say TK taking over creative from them is a bad thing, but looks like he needs a middleman more and more

Okay I was not expecting that. I like Sammy but I don't know if this is the right decision. Miro was having an incredible run. Also LMAO at "we will hear his first words on RHODES TO THE TOP" Cody with his father's touch

So I don't know if you guys caught it or not cuz it might have been during commercial there, but there was a duelling "We want Lana"/"No we don't" chant, which Miro shut down

NICE

Miro just looks incredible, man. It isn't just the muscles. The way he carries himself, his facial expressions, everything

STOP THE PRESSES, HIKARU SHIDA AND SERENA DEEB ARE GOING TO BE ON DYNAMITE AGAIN

He did have a school shooter line

Nah, not going to have this from a Baron Corbin fan

Feels like more of a setup episode, dealing with the aftermath and building new stories. I think your mileage will vary based on how much you liked the first match. The main event is still to come though and that's easily the best part of the show
