Alucard

Hogan's thing about Roode winning the title, was that he didn't see him as a face, but as top heel which he then became. Roode's title run reminded me a lot of JBL in 2004. Roode/Aries is maybe my favorite match (and moment) in company history. A shame that Aries' reign wasn't able to last longer. I thought Roode's brief NXT run was excellent (the Nakamura series being MOTYC level) and he came off like a legit star with stuff like the Flair-esque entrance with all the ladies on his arm.

they just announced the next one today, "Stand and Deliver", will be part of Mania week.

Leva is actually working a tag on tonight's Dark: Elevation, her first in-ring AEW appearance since March 2021

He worked NJPW Strong last weekend and is working the upcoming GCW Hammerstein show this Sunday.

for the first time in years, the Olympics will be bumping RAW off USA to Syfy for two weeks on Feb 7 and Feb 14. (nxt also)

Agreed.... Trent did a piledriver on the apron, literally 20 seconds later, Cole is doing a Canadian Destroyer in the ring for 2 (which was not a Panama Sunrise because he didn't do the 2nd rope hop)

Good, but also 3 minutes.

For what it's worth, they licensed "The Chairman's Intent" by Action Bronson, which Hook says was his choice.

I love Freddie Prinze interviews. He always has fantastic stories from his time in WWE. This past week he said he wants to create his own indy promotion after seeing guys like Kross and Keith Lee released and that he's talked to TV Networks about it. I would love to see that

My money's on Roman v. Drew v. Brock at Mania the belief now is they want Roman/Rock for the following year, WM 39, when Mania goes back to Hollywood.

I'd agree. My personal favorite matches were always her ones against Asuka, both in NXT and RAW. I also surprisingly really enjoyed her series of matches with Alexa.

She did commentate the 2nd MYC, with Cole & Renee.

NWA have announced they are bringing in Austin Aries for the next PPV. Also bringing back the NWA Junior Championship and having the ROH Tag Titles defended

Survivor Series 2016 had maybe my all time fav 5 on 5 with the classic Roman spears Shane O Mac mid air. Hell of a 1-2 punch following it up with the unforgettable and shocking at the time Goldberg/Lesnar squash. Haven't enjoyed any of them since though and the "build" this year with just naming and replacing team members is truly awful.

Fascinating to imagine that scenario playing out, with Hogan/Tyson at VI

Anthony Bowens of the Acclaimed is gay, it's never been said whether or not Caster is as well. I was lost on the fetish line as well.

Certainly amusing in hindsight.

I guess Charlotte/Becky as well

It's the only time of year where Raw and Smackdown go head to head in competition~!

Tony Khan just announced Moxley is heading to rehab for alcohol treatment. Says he'll be focused on recovery and to look forward to a time when he's "eventually ready to return to the ring"

Agreed on all accounts with your take on the show. Super happy for Mercedes and Tasha Steelz is a total star. From live reports, Gail Kim came out after the match to offer Slamovich a contract

The Iinspiration (iiconics) arrive at Bound For Glory!

Same. I was intrigued, and then they put the title back on fucking ciampa of all people, and this "reboot" rebooted it right back to 2018 and why I stopped watching in the first place.

Great to see this resurrected with almost a mini-shoot review !

Andrew Zarian of mat men reports this was always the plan, originally to do on Draft Night. the Draft was originally planned for Aug 30 before being delayed a month, but they stuck with this.
