C.S.

Ivory is the BEST.

This Rumble is booked like shit At least have Naomi and Cameron together for a few minutes.

They should've had Cameron, Alicia Fox, and Melina in the ring together.

Reigns is 100% right to chair that traitor in the back. This is catharsis - for both him and us.

Charles Robinson is selling desperation, despair, and helplessness so well.

WWE spells it like this though.

Many Syrians do, but you'll never see that in the media.

Would Matt Riddle be another example of this? Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) of The Golden Girls?

I'll be honest: My first reaction was: "Is that Sting? No." "Is Gargano wearing facepaint for some reason? Probably not." Danhausen didn't even occur to me initially, despite the rumors and his obvious intent to sign with AEW. When it finally clicked, it made all the sense in the world to me. I do think Gargano is a bigger signing though. Don't underestimate the power and reach of WWE TV (even if it is only NXT).

I guess so, but I'm not seeing any downside in signing a young guy with buzz who's tremendously entertaining and has a fantastic character and gimmick.

Why would it piss anyone off? The reaction I've seen has been universally positive. I think it's a great signing, and I've never seen him before, but his personality shines through in interview excerpts I've read and social media posts.

Not ruined at all, but definitely a weird decision. No Johnny Gargano tonight. This kind of match would've been perfect for him to show up, especially since many of his later "epics" with Tomasso Ciampa were wrestled in the same style. (I miss their earlier matches, which were amazing.)

I like Orange but am I the only one not seeing the sense in having him cleanly defeat future main eventer like Adam Cole?

I wonder if Colt will even be re-signed. He's not exactly being used much.

Great segment, but no one coming to Punk's aid - even if just to run off the bad guys in the end - is completely illogical.

MJF is spitting fire here!

I hate to sound like an old boomer, but the ladder match was a bunch of flippy shit with very little psychology. HBK-Razor is renowned because everything they did made sense, and they used the ladder as a weapon. The original TLC matches between the Hardys, the Dudleys, and Edge and (the Attitude Era's #1 star) Christian still had more internal logical even with the high-flying spectacle they were.

Leva Bates is one of the rare wrestlers WWE used better than AEW, even if she was only a Hack Myers mascot type in NXT as Blue Pants. Andrade might be on that list too, as he's been completely uninteresting and directionless, and he hasn't had any matches in AEW that come close to his NXT Title Match against Johnny Gargano (IMO).

Not really a good look for Joey either. It's impossible to take him seriously when he says shit like "You’re a big fat fucking lying loser" like he's auditioning for a 1980s teen comedy. Sounds like this MSL is as shady as they come, but Joey would really help his case if he'd act like a grown-up about it.

Tell me, folks: Was Cody's promo rambling, incoherent, and all over the place, or am I just really tired tonight? He's right about one thing though: Brody King really should have changed his name. Brodie/Brody should be sacred in AEW.

You know about the official sequel, right? https://www.retromaniawrestling.com/

Here's an odd one: Did you know Tony Schiavone has a book? But it's a graphic novel, for some reason. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09NP9TKQV/

Black would be fine as a credible main eventer if the Bray Wyatt-lite lights off shit and assorted " magic" was eliminated. It's beyond hokey.

I like Brodie King!
