This match is a disaster

I don't think Wardlow was ever a despicable heel, certainly not in a good year if he ever was, and certainly not a as recently as a month ago. Face banned from the building coming in to wreck house is a hot angle pretty much always in every area in every decade.

Dax especially would benefit from staying off Twitter

Nah they definitely implied it had the NWA/WCW lineage for a bit. Video packages of the time mention Race, Funks, Brisco, Steamboat and so on.

WCW claimed the lineage of their title went back to 1905 regularly up to the end, which means they counted from George Hackenshmidt through to the National Wrestling Association through to the National Wrestling Alliance up to Vince Russo and David Arquette. Although it makes very little sense considering there was a time period where both the WCW Championship and NWA Championship were defended as separate titles on the same shows.

Did I read that they burned Bron vs Walter on TV with no build or promotion and Walter lost clean?

FTR/Briscoes was awesome I was more impressed with Lee Moriarty in the Lethal match than anything I've seen of him in AEW, which is wild because he's had matches with Punk and Bryan on AEW TV. Bandido has to get a better set up for his finish lmao. That shit is even sillier than the 619 set up. Both guys had some pretty wonky looking spots that require a guy to go to the floor. Gresh does a lot of really interesting, borderline weird stuff. Very interesting performer. Liked the production and the announce team, certainly more interested in ROH going forward than I have been in probably 12+ years. I'm much more likely to watch an hour of ROH as opposed to either of the Dark shows if it's used like a real show and promotion and not just squash matches for low card guys that can't find their way to Dynamite.

Was there drama about the Hardys theme? Did people not know it was just a random production theme that's been used on TV in non-wrestling contexts for 20 years?

Bron and Dolph have absolutely zero chemistry

The Cervical Clutch is such a Vinceism

Lol what the hell

This KO over the top wrestling bluster is 10x better than what Cody was doing

He isn't sincere, though

Cody has proven himself to be the most insincere dude in the game, so him going back to the teary eyed I'M SO SINCERE THIS IS REAL LIFE promo that he's been cutting every week for the past 3 years is lol

Reaction to Cody is very noticeably less enthusiastic than at WM

Just saying, the 6 months of the original Undisputed Championship run was the last time the main event scene in WWE was booked well and with a clear plan and foresight for every defense and title change. Personally I think everyone would benefit from going back to single band PPVs, too.

I think the idea of the finish was Heyman giving Roman the inspiration he needed to push through, but it's weird to do that with a heel against a face and do a clean win out of it.

I can't believe they've never done Roman loading up the gauntlet with an international object

This weekend of shows is like if WCW 2000 had a Beach Blast 92/Spring Stampede 94 quality PPV

If they can, Roman might truly be the GOAT

Just end the show here

Dying at Austin laughing his ass off at Vince botching

Lmao what was the purpose of all that

Provided Brock/Roman don't completely shit the bed, I think I'm ready to crown this WM the best WM of all time.
