Alucard

On pro wres every day, Saturdays also have WOW Women of Wrestling on AXS and (for now still) NJPW on AXS.

Yeah definitely a back and forth realistic one. Went 17 minutes and was very good. Finishing sequence was a bit scary with Bryan's foot getting tangled in the rope as Rowan was pulling him over from the apron with the claw slam and Bryan's head hitting the mat. Very much, I'm so disappointed! After last week's show, he spent the next day retweeting everyone on Twitter telling him NOT to tone it down because he's so great and unique, I was expecting tonight to feature more references than ever but it was actually much less. Imperium vs Kushida/Breeze/Fandango. Breeze & Fandango, "the fashion police", apparently start their entrance theme with sirens. Of course, sirens are the universal signal of Scott Steiner in pro wrestling, it was my first thought as well when I heard it.

Incredible, ended up the most over guy on the show. Crowd was on fire for that. Corny brays next victim

i've felt Omega in AEW has been lacking the aura that Omega in NJPW had, but an abrupt sudden heel turn would be kind of disappointing heading in to what should be a heated feud with Moxley where he was clearly the babyface.

Agreed. Looks like a multi-person ladder match for the X Title as they announced Tessa vs. Dave Crist in a qualifier for it this week.

yeah Su/Swann pretty much blew it off immediately after, she had tweeted defending him in the past couple years and they are still together today.

Their streaming service, Impact Plus (Impactplus.tv). I believe they go up on about a week delay, the latest episode is up is last week (Sept 13). You just have to make an account and should be able to view Impact freely there. (only have to pay/subscribe for the PPV archives and Impact+ exclusive events)

For anyone unaware/interested, AXS is airing this tonight from 8-11 EST.

I just find Mauro hilarious with the references. "These women are lighting up the ring like LIZZO LIGHTING UP THE MUSIC SCENE!" "Just like HIP HOP ICON MISSY ELLIOT, Bianca Belair CAN'T STAND THE REIGN of Shayna Baszler!" "In a match that lasted about as long as a TIK TOK VIDEO!" its the best.

WWE TV 09/16 - 09/22 Stop pushing Bray down our throats! 3 segments? 4? gonna be 5 by the end at least. Christ.

And nothing's changed. Agreed that the short-lived tag run was awesome though, wish that stuck.

I think the Swinger stuff so far has been great. I imagine his use ultimately won't be too far off from how they used Glenn Gilbertti, mostly for comedy. But it should be fun. Looks like we end up with one last LAX match next week so that's cool.

I miss the Modern Day Maharaja. I was surprised how short-lived Rusev as a face was. Felt like they had something when he and Nakamura had a 20 minute main event of SDL at the end of last year but then they just switched the title right back. And of course he and Aiden's tag team getting killed off at the peak of their popularity.

Agreed 100%. Zero interest in Spears but Cody comes off like the biggest star in everything.

Samoa Joe, Jay White, and Ciampa.

Saddens me cause I thought he was totally awesome on the mic during his first run in 2010, great IC champ. I thought he was a solid fired up babyface on the mic in Impact but his ring work was more memorable there, particularly the Lashley feud. I find Cedric to be probably the most boring dude in the company

Compared to fucking cedric and ricochet though... Got damn. Amen.

All I've really seen of him was the awful awful comedy shit he was doing upon arriving in WWE that turned me off huge until the cruiserweights got off Raw and I stopped watching 205 so I don't really see him. On the other hand. Aries is one of my all time favorites. Huge fan of his original ROH run, his climb to the top of Impact, and his wasted WWE run but everything about the Aries/Neville feud ruled.

Only the Aries WM match and series with Tozawa were preshows. He won the title from Swann at the Rumble, defended against Jack Gallagher at FastLane. The rest of the really awesome Aries feud was on PPV main card of Payback & Extreme Rules and then losing it to Enzo on the No Mercy PPV. The most impressive thing about his reign to me was he was having great matches with a load of guys I had zero interest in aside from Aries (Swann at the time, Gallagher, TJP, etc.)

Agreed, I thought this was way better/more memorable than the WM match. I'd have it 2nd only to Charlotte/Asuka from the SDL before WM in best WWE womens matches this year.

I hate all of that. the best babyface since Steamboat nonsense was also said all the time about Sami Zayn, who I also couldn't stand and think is 1000x better as a heel.

I'm with you. the Gargano/Ciampa shit destroyed any interest I had in watching NXT anymore. I didn't mind Cole but he's been dragged down to hell with this feud going as long as that one. Only seeing gifs of their last match and the no selling was enough of that crap forever.

Exactly hahaha, what a bizarre take. "He has a small role, he has no lines, but nobody's audibly reacting to him!!"

Agreed, so far haven't seen a thing different. Just Bray doing the same 'start a feud by randomly attacking someone after the lights go out' stuff he's been doing for years and years like the feuds with Ambrose, Roman, etc. Only now he's wearing a mask so it's been generally praised more.

He explained later after that he wasn't retiring right then but that his retirement will be like a year long thing.
