Rough night at the office for Jamie Hayter. I would be surprised if she didn't have a concussion.

This man out here in a seersucker suit in 2022, what a delight

How did that dude not break his fucking neck

WCW is truly back

I'm kind of surprised Silver King didn't get an actual cruiser run in WCW. That dude rarely got much time, but every time he did he was showing out and getting pretty big reactions for his spots even as no one know who the fuck he was.

There's a big difference between say, an Adam Cole controlling Keith Lee with a side headlock, and 115 pounds landing on your stomach from 10 feet in the air. Fucking toddlers jumping off a bed or couch on you fucking hurts, mayne.

Punk really shit the bed in the main event. Maybe he was recently sick or has an injury, but I think it was the worst he's looked in AEW. He's always been sloppy, but that dude was fucking up the whole match and seemed to have completely gassed not even half way into the match. It actually reminded me of some of Jericho's title matches. Half the match felt like Punk curled up and Page stalling for him. Also, lmao at literally every spot Moxley and Jericho tried to do not working the entire match.

My feeling about AEW booking is WWE has had garbage booking and programming for most of the past 30 years. When AEW's logic might break down or something drags on too long, at least there is always some really cool shit on the show and the feeling that at least TK wants the fans to actually be excited and enjoy themselves. Just putting on shows that aren't insulting to the audience goes a long way to being able to look past some of the issues AEW might have. I'm sports entertained 9 times out of 10.

I've had the opposite experience. I keep seeing negative or meh takes on a lot of Dynamites for months while I have quite enjoyed the stretch from Punk's return to now. There's only been like 2-3 shows that were duds in that time. I do wish to go a week without seeing Adam Cole, but what can ya do? It's certainly not a perfect show, a lot of the booking is pretty scatterbrained, and I do not watch Dark/Elevation, and rarely pop in for Rampage unless there is a specific match that interests me. Even then, I'll watch the next day and scrub through it, but even that I don't do often at all.

It's really fascinating at how good Joe has looked in this run considering how broken down he looked at the end of his WWE/NXT run. And the last couple years of his TNA run for that matter. Dude is just going to war every week like it's 2003. Really the only thing is he seems to have a harder time with cardio, but he's in his 40s now and has essentially been inactive for two and a half years.

O'Khan certainly did not make a good first impression

WBF's second PPV was incredible and the public just wasn't ready for it

Yeah Kidman landing knee first on Chavo's head is what ended the SSP for a while in WWE Christ that's more brutal than I remember, Chavo immediately going stiff as a board :jeanluc

Hall goes missing from TV for a few weeks in the spring of 1997, which I believe was alcohol related. By summer/fall, physically you can see some of the subtle changes in Hall's physique in his face and mid-section.

Was there a reason Hall and Nash were split apart in the summer/fall of 1997? Hall starts doing matches and promos with Savage, occasionally Syxx, but also doing a lot more singles matches. I assume Nash was injured, but when he's on TV, it's with Buff/Konnan/Syxx, not Hall. Besides a Nash injury, my thought was perhaps WCW was trying to keep them apart a bit as Hall's drinking was starting to become a noticeable problem.

This is why I find Spring Stampede 2000 to be the worst WCW PPV. This shit head had 3 different tournaments going on the same show.

If it's a work, it'd be Russo WCW 2000 tier nonsense that doesn't get over in anyway and makes everyone involved come off worse.

Miz had a face run where he was pretty over not long after his first WWE Championship win. Anyway, can't say I'm excited at all for the Owen finals being Adam Cole vs Joe or especially KOR. Cole is so overexposed, even more than he was the last year or two in NXT. Really the whole thing has seemed very scattershot even if it has produced some quality matches.

I think what's interesting to me is that his goofiness is kind of endearing as a heel, but unbearably lame as a face

KOR's dorkiness is fine, he just need to drop the rebound lariat spot and maybe cut down on the cartoon wobbly legs later in matches.

The craziest thing to me was Wardlow didn't even BLINK when hit with the belt

God damn I do not want to see Sting going toe to toe with any member of TUE. "WE'RE OUTTA TIME" the feeling is back, fans

The content was good but the delivery was bad

It looks so bad every fucking time, the bottom rope one is even worse, and he does it multiple times every match. How does he not know it looks awful?

This is fucking dope
