NXT signings is fine and good because most of them are some of the most talented folks around and it'd be dumb not to pick them up if you have the chance. Booking them the same or redoing feuds is not good. A Gargano/Cole redux would be bad.

I'm truly amazed Darby hasn't had a catastrophic injury on live TV

Jay White did absolutely nothing for me until the G1 in 2020 and he ended up being the MVP and most entertaining guy on the roster.

Well yeah, why would he put titles on people who don't work for him?

I'm convinced that "health issue" Jericho had a few months back was liver related and his doctor told him he needed to stop drinking immediately. Anyway, the look Hangman had after that promo on the floor that wasn't commented on seemed like he didn't really want to say that stuff but needed to hype himself up because he's nervous.

This seems pretty out of nowhere

Also when 205 Live started, Finn Balor was suddenly billed as 206 pounds

There was definitely a lot of awesome stuff on 205. There was a string of multiman matches every week that were great, the Ali/Murphy series, Lio Rush vs Cedric Alexander. In general, Ali was probably having the best face run in WWE since Bryan in 2013.

The energy is always off, both in the crowd and performers. Like the last show of tapings at Full Sail would always be.

Rampage desperately needs to either be live or at least taped separately from Dynamite.

I'm pretty confident Midway going under had nothing to do with the TNA game and everything to do with they were basically only making licensed games and Mortal Kombat games for the entire 2000-2008 period and bad leadership that went through like 3 CEOs in 3 months.

What the hell is Tony doing with the TNT Championship? Shit is the WCW Championship in 2000.

I do not at all enjoy this Jericho doing a WWE satire gimmick, nor do I like that Britt Baker's gimmick seems to be just shitting on her opponent's booking.

Wasn't Fenix supposed to be healed up and ready for action like 3 months ago

JR pretty openly hating Danhausen and all of his segments is good though, because I agree with him

Those aren't skinny jeans, they're track pants with a proper fit

Britt saying finally there's a woman in the ring who knows how to use a mic and immediately proceeding to cut a bad promo where she sounded nervous and stumbled over her words and no doubt ran long based on how fast Excalibur had to do the hard sell.

Hook being billed as 201 pounds is lmao Also lmao that Sammy and Tay were so annoying they turned Dan Lambert face

It's a shame NJ's tag division is garbage because AEW's tag roster is so loaded and there's really no big time matches for them at a joint show. If Kenny is back, I'd like to see Golden Lovers vs FTR.

Sting vs Okada

Mox makes Yuta and Shota fight for his love

FTR would be absolutely stupid to go back to WWE unless the money is absurd

I don't think the Texas death match was good at all. Idk what it was, something just felt off and the crowd was weirdly dead for most of it. I think Hangman should drop or modify the Dead Eye. There's just so much space between head and mat and no camera cuts can hide it. Must look terrible to live crowds, not unlike about 90% of inverted atomic drops. The only time it's looked good is the ones off the apron or ladder where he goes at an angle to hit the table. Anyway, glad Page can move on. Punk vs Page could get real interesting storywise and reaction wise.

Put the tag belts on FTR, graduate Jungle Boy to his singles run. Find another company for FTR to win the titles in and Ultimo Dragon it.

Keith Lee still looking unhealthy, but he and Swerve have some real interesting and unique double team moves.
