Codyverse was nothing like Watts era WCW. Cody's vision is modern WWE but with blading.

I watched that video of Tiger Driver 91s and was wondering what happened to Misawa between 1995 and 1997? He looked like he aged 8 years in between.

I think Adam Cole is pretty good and his size doesn't really matter too much because he carries himself and is presented as a star. However, he got into some really bad habits in NXT that then spread to all the NXT main events. There are times when his size does matter because he's doing shit like getting into the hockey fights with Luchasaurus or controlling Keith Lee with headlocks and it looks absolutely laughable. That's just bad psychology, not unlike those Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss matches where Alexa somehow physically dominated most of the match instead of controlling with technique or cutting her down. My biggest issue with him is the Panama Sunrise is the worst Canadian Destroyer variant and makes no fucking sense even in wrestling physics.

The work MJF is doing in the Punk feud is definitely a million times better than that stretch of doing nothing but shock jock cheap heat shit.

Gonna lol when Jay Lethal ends up back in ROH

AJ was in ROH with the Bullet Club for the entirety of his NJ run.

Hopefully this leads to the forever end of happy Punk and a return to piece of shit angry at the world Punk even if he's a face.

He had a face run in AEW already

If TNA's tape library is for sale again, TK should buy it. AEW, ROH, TNA streaming service would be pretty rad.

I don't really know why that'd be a big announcement for fans unless the ROH library is going to be easily and readily available. Interest in ROH was completely in the shitter for a long time. They have no contracted talent. And all of the people who were still in ROH are doing a ROH invasion in TNA anyway.

Breh they literally did a "you insulted me in an IWA Mid South locker room" angle on TV that led to a PPV match

Can't wait for Cody/Brandi vs Miz/Maryze vs Corey/Carmella all over whose reality show is the best

Do y'all really want a "he didn't put me over before going to WWE" storyline

Alexa Bliss is a babyface since last summer and has been booked as one, I'm sure they are not mad at her getting face reactions against Charlotte or in an EC where she was also booked to have a dominant run against women much larger than her.

I would argue that Bret leaving was not a hit to WWE at all. It kicked off the hottest run, the main event run of Austin, the Mr. McMahon character, and really the official Attitude Era while WCW gained absolutely nothing with Bret.

Really Vince is the only one that should induct Taker but other options that would make sense: Kane, HHH, HBK, Austin, Foley, maybe JBL.

I imagine Kane's induction speech would touch upon cancel culture and freedom

A rare blunder from strobogo

A rare blunder from Cena

Kane had some good stuff over the years but also was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 00s/10s in the same way that Taker was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 90s.

Man, Kane and Taker really suck

If WM in 2022 really has Vince setting up a match with a celeb commentator with a worked shoot in a youtube podcast and Steve Austin returning to the ring because KO is saying bad things about Texas on twitter

I find it pretty difficult to believe that top guys in all eras weren't fucking off to do their own thing, not sitting around watching everyone's matches all night long.

Imo pushes should be determined based on combine numbers

Joey Styles might be the worst part of ECW tbh. Dude was BRUTAL. I really have no idea how Paul E. was able to convince people that Joey Styles was an amazing announcer and so much better than WWF/WCW guys. I'd 100% rather listen to Bischoff doing commentary than Styles. Damn near everything out of his mouth is cringy smark shit or awful pop culture references. He was basically 1993-1995 Vince but smarky. I love there was always talk even from him about actually knowing and calling the names of moves and he was constantly calling moves the wrong thing and just flat out making up names as he went.
