C.S.

Is it just me or is Omega "ordering" Cole out of the ring not exactly the best look?

Gallows and Anderson reek nWo B-Team energy.

This trio match lost me. It's fine, I'm sure. Maybe I'm just tired. But I have very little reason to care.

I was expecting a squash, honestly. I'm surprised Dustin is getting so much offense in.

Face facts: That's exactly what Impact is now - a place for bland big men and lower WWE midcarders to reinvent themselves. It sounds like you haven't watched WWE in a while though (not that I blame you). Corbin has been - dare I say - one of the highlights of the show. Faint praise here too, but Hager has never, ever been as good as Corbin is right now. Edit: Does this mean I think AEW should hire Corbin? No. But he'd be a much better and more valuable "get" than a stiff like Jake Hager, that's for sure.

Corbin is a guy who would probably be better off going to Impact, but if AEW can hire and justify Jake Hager with a straight face, Corbin is a demonstrable upgrade.

I don't think that would've been a bad idea at all. Remember, the pre-show was free for anyone to watch, and seeing such a big, hot debut like that might have enticed some last-minute buys. As fun as the ten-man tag was in a clustery sort of way, I doubt it had the same effect for anyone who might have been on the fence about ordering the show.

AEW would and absolutely should go after Keith Lee and Chad Gable if they were ever made available. I love Tozawa, but I think a guy like that would need to rehab himself in Impact first. I wouldn't mind seeing him in NJPW either (like Juice Robinson).

Rumors from Ringside News, so take them with a giant pitcher of salt: https://www.cagesideseats.com/2021/9/7/22660023/rumor-roundup-sept-7-2021-vince-misses-raw-wwe-reacts-daniel-bryan-adam-cole-pitch-cody-bray-wyatt If even remotely true, WWE's incompetence is staggering.

This is a ridiculous take after one match.

Which is me, but I immediately got the vibe that this guy is like one of those badass old Japanese grandpas in an action movie.

Hold my beer.

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I thought even Wight/QT was perfect for what it was and very entertaining.

Adam Cole Bay Bay showing up a week after being in NXT really felt like one of those big Monday Night War moments. Hell, even Danielson debuting after main eventing WrestleMania. WTF is going on with WWE for them to be making such costly, sloppy mistakes like this?

Wow, I could've paid $100 for that and felt I had gotten my money's worth, and then some.

BOOOOO! Christian got robbed.

I am not really seeing a path for Danielson to debut tonight. Hope I'm wrong! Just not sure how it would be done.

Did Omega really just imitate Urkel?

IT'S CHRISTIAN TIME

Five-star classic. But seriously, it was actually fun for what it was.

Ugh... I forgot about Show vs. QT. At least it will be quick. More toilets are going to be flushed in the next minute than at any other time in recorded history.

Punk hasn't lost a step.

CM Punk and Darby Allin have the crowd eating out of their hands.

Either I'm tired or this is the "cooldown" match.

Wasn't expecting Ruby to actually win.
