I totally called Elite Deathriders. I wish I didn’t but it was pretty obvious that was way the way it was going. As for the rest of the show. Just meh. Nothing important happen and just a show that was there. The 8 man tag for 400,000 dollars was just random. It was a solid match but just seemed they booked to kill time. 2025 and using the phrase dookie all over the floor is something for sure. We all know Kenny is the worst on the microphone but at least he tries I guess.

Somehow people will still complain about it but all three are worthy and glad to see it happen.

Cause it sounds like something AEW would do. Especially with Double or Nothing coming up and Anarchy in the Arena match.

That’s a great question. I honestly don’t think she has or at least if she wasn’t it wasn’t anything memorable. I enjoyed the back and forth but it also brings an issue to why face to face promos are a sorta stupid thing logically. In real life if you are face to face to someone and you just keep taking shots at each other it will blow up and won’t just end with people walking away for the most part. Tiffany actually looked good and the crowd ate it up. Flair went to weird mode and when she made fun of her voice that’s when I was checked out. My biggest peeve of the whole is thing is I view Flair in the same boat as The Bucks both are talented performers but what do you do with them exactly. The matches are all the same, the promos aren’t different. So what’s their value. You can’t let them go cause the other side will hire them. It’s just they tread water and make fat checks and accomplish nothing. Nobody gets over and they just waste space. I was enjoying the division without Flair but her name will give her a job for life, hall of fame induction and treated like the greatest ever. I will say that ending segment with Punk/Seth/Roman/Heyman was amazing though and deserves to be talked about. That match didn’t have me sold till that segment. I actually love they told the story from 12 years ago with Heyman saying he would accompany Punk when he main events WM. To see long term storytelling on a WWE show is wild. Punk cashed in his favor and having Roman get pissed about it when Heyman basically refuses to tell Punk that’s not happening to having Seth just laugh in the background. That was really well executed and done. Kudos to whoever is writing that story cause they nailed it.

They why book it? if the object is to get talent over but then decide to feed that talent to two guys that everyone knows isn’t losing for a while. Why do that match. We know Cage got hurt and made them have to shift but they could have chosen at least someone else. I think something needs to be asked who in the tag division has even been built up enough to beat the Hurt Business or whatever they call themselves now. Say what you want but this tag division is in shambles compared to previous years. yeah that’s what I was getting at. They didn’t just leave they ran away and said why they were leaving. So to just randomly show back up and cost Swerve the title and give Moxley the win is absolutely stupid logic. WWE gets flak for writing teams but it looks like TK needs some help cause his stories are dogshit. We don’t think The Bucks join the Deathriders in some hybrid Elite Deathrider thing do we? God, that would be the worst ever.

lo fuckin l TK is going to be TK. That’s for sure. I can’t wait to see people try and bend to make this any sense. Cause even storyline wise it makes none. The way the bucks left made absolutely no sense they would return and help Mox or have any reason to screw Swerve people online are saying it’s setting up swerve and hangman vs bucks but who wants that match? We’ve already seen bucks vs hangman and Kenny and no way anything can top that match involving the three. Am I like missing something with Mox? Why is he treated like an unbeatable machine and an Ace for? His work has nosedived off a cliff from when he first joined the company. Everyone in the death riders angle hasn’t improved any of their stock Another PPV ruined due to a shitty ending in my own opinion

Yeah I have noticed the same issue and it's pretty annoying honestly. It's kinda why I quit visiting here as much as I used to.

That’s wild but I will say WWE 2k25 knocked it out the park this year. I guess that’s also cause I went in with extremely low expectations but I absolutely love it. I haven’t touched myrise yet but I plan on it but I love that the stories aren’t just weird made up ones that were strange like Edge and Candice Michelle having magical powers. To get back on topic. I watched the old PPVs and boy was it HORRIBLE idea to let Cody never challenge for the AEW Title I know it’s cause he put the stipulation on himself, but it Might just be one of the all time fumbles. Also rewatching. I can’t believe the company invested time and resources into Jake Hager. lol The announce team has always been bad in AEW. Ross never wanted to be there. He just didn’t like being told to retire. TS has and always will be horrible, Excalibur is annoying AF and Taz is just there. Nigel is by far the best though and I enjoyed Kevin Kelly and I love Ian. Ian and Nigel should be the main pBp guys and throw in Caprice who is good as well.

I just wish that a steel cage match would actually be respected as such. Meaning it’s dumb as hell to have someone just randomly bring in bolt cutters and come into the match for no reason whatsoever. Nobody wants to see Mark Davis get involved. It did nothing to the story and to make it worse. He decided to blade as well. Which was absolutely pointless. That was my main issue to many people bled and for no reason. Someone made a comment about WWE turning into Starrcade 85. So what do you call this? It’s obvious the producers for the matches don’t go over things to make sure things are being saved to be special. I thought that the woman’s match was good but it didn’t need that much blood or really any blood for that matter. Call me whatever you want but I felt uncomfortable watching women bleed in a wrestling match. I was not a fan of that and it ruined the whole experience for me and the glass on the gloves made it really uncomfortable for me and I just went back to playing 2K25 and quit watching. I know I’m not the market for that match but I don’t really know who is honestly. I guess it’s for the sickos. The main event was about as piss poor booking as you could get. Why they decided to fuck over the Christian angle and make that contract be pointless is very stupid. I read Fightful said that the decision was made a week going into the PPV. Which just means TK never had direction for it and was just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it stuck. So congrats TK you managed to make all three men look like goobers. That was a good PPV though. I also found it funny they signed The Costco Guys to a contract when they are about to use up their 15 minutes of fame. I say a solid 7/10.

Or any AEW PPV

I’m very glad that I didn’t attend that show. I was going to go with my wife but we decided to pass due to the weather. I’m very glad that I did pass on going. Very rough episode tonight. Nothing got my attention. Everything was meh. Blame it on travel or whatever but it was just bad to average episode. I didn’t care for the big brawl to start the show. It went way too long. I’m sure it did due to travel messing up the show but it just dragged. Hurt Syndicate winning the belts already is certainly a choice. Private Party just isn’t over they need a new gimmick or something cause it just isn’t working and I’m sure Matt Hardy will be upset about them losing already. The hurt syndicate is just meh. 🫤

I think it’s a younger generation thing. Cause my son and his friends all are teenagers and they love the “yeet” stuff. I don’t get it but hey good for Jey for getting it over. As for being a top act. I think Jey is the perfect midcarder. He can hold the IC or US Title but I can’t see him ever being a world champion for longer than being a transitional champion. I don’t care what anyone says though. I absolutely LOVED CM Punk saying he would kill Hulkamania. That was by far my favorite line I’ve heard this year. Call it cheap heat, cheap pop. I don’t give a fuck. Absolutely great!

It’s amazing how many people are saying that wasn’t a nazi salute and we all saw it wrong. The worst argument i saw was when someone said he is autistic. My daughter is autistic and I never had to worry about her doing nazi salutes. So somehow I don’t think that’s the reason. Us Americans can’t say shit about any other country and what promotion is running where. Hell, Elon would probably want a wrestling match on fucking Mars, and our dumbass president would be right there rooting it on like the puppet he is.

Exactly. lol If he stays away it’s for the best cause the Jags are horrible she getting trashed very badly

I’m in the town where Kane is mayor and political beliefs aside. He actually is a good mayor. He helps the community and is involved. I haven’t had any bad interactions with him and neither have others that I know that have had dealings with him. You can be on separate sides of the aisle and not be a douche. Another thing about Kane that I’ve noticed especially living here. Every wrestler always speaks about how intelligent he is and how great of a worker he is, could it really be out of the realm of possibility that he is just working my town. I mean this state and town I’m from is a red state. It’s republican through and through a democrat hasn’t won here since the 70s and won’t win here anytime soon. Maybe not even in my lifetime. I’ve had this theory and I stand by it that I think Kane saw this and knows this and just works everyone by being a republican. He knows it’s going to win and set him up for his life after wrestling. He still has a fan base especially around where he and I both live. So he doesn’t have to worry about being hated here. It’s possible that he is just working everyone or maybe he is a Republican but that isn’t a shock to me especially living here where if you believe in anything else you are an outsider and treated different. So who honestly knows we don’t know these people personally so who honestly knows what they believe or how they feel. I’m not shocked about Taker getting cheers and Hogan getting boos. It’s deeper than just a love for Trump and being MAGA. Hogan got a ton of heat rightfully so about his racist remarks. Taker for what’s been said is still seen as a good person and not a racist which goes a long way for people. Also Hogan has been called out many times for lying and just can’t stay out of his own way much like Flair. It’s to the point now that I don’t think people really care about either of them. If Hogan was smart he would have come out as Hollywood Hogan and just cut a heel promo about taking over with Trump. That would have been the biggest and best heel promo of all time.

I really enjoyed Raw. You can tell the crowd was mostly celebs and personalities so it wasn’t as cranked as usual but that’s too be expected though. I know my buddy from Canada didn’t get any ad breaks at all which is cool for him. Also if you watch the replay in the states you can fast forward the ads so that’s awesome. Also the show is available to watch right after it ends which is also convenient. It’s very user friendly. I had no buffering issues. A few audio issues with Cole but that’s to be expected and not like I missed anything from it. Very pleasant experience. The ability to go straight to live with no buffer and pause the live feed without messing up anything was very awesome. The actual show felt like a PLE. The Intuit Dome was a genius place to have the debut show just cause the tech in that building is amazing. Balmer built a beautiful stadium and did a great job with it. Too bad the clippers still play there. Lmao I felt like they ended stories on Raw. After watching I really don’t think The rock comes back for a while. He got his pop he wanted and played company man. I just don’t see him getting involved cause he needs to work on his public image in Hollywood cause his last few movies have been stinkers so I think that’s his biggest interest now. Cena promo was awesome. He is a master on the microphone and the way he pushed the Rumble as his lottery ticket was a great promo. Rhea and Liv being over finally is great, Jey and Travis Scott was cool AF and seeing Travis light up a joint was my pop of the night. Then Jey in the after show saying that Travis didn’t pass so he could inhale was great. Tribal combat was fun as well but I’m glad Fatu got to showcase a little bit. Hopefully that story is done. Punk/Rollins was excellent as the main event. That match would have been next to impossible to follow so it was the right call for the main event. Awesome match and Punks promo after the match giving a shout out dedicating it to Chris Bey and the other guy who has cancer was a class act on his part and then Punk delivering the fire promo was icing on the cake. Say what you will but a motivated CM Punk really is one of the best to ever do it and it’s awesome we get to see him back where he belongs in WWE. I have nothing bad to say. I completely enjoyed the show from start to finish. I mean anytime you make your weekly show that big of a deal that you feel like you watched a PLE. You can’t really be upset about anything.

I don’t get why you guys think WWE cares at all what Jesse Ventura thinks about Hogan. They hired Punk back knowing he had heat with guys. Also it’s not like Hogan/Jesse are going to even do anything. They are both old men. They aren’t going to fight. They might say stuff at best but that’s it. Nothing will happen so having Hogan appear means nothing to anybody. I’m sure Jesse is in the mindset of as long as I don’t have to share space with him then I’m fine. Plus money makes everything better and makes people be quiet.

He needs to cut like 50 people from that roster and backstage maybe even more but knowing TK and what he has done so far. WWE will fire someone then TK will just hire him. I just think TK runs AEW like a fantasy writer runs their fantasy promotion. I don’t even think TK has the ability to focus either. He has his hands in too many jars and everything is failing because of it. Look at the Jags they are in completely shambles. They have a clueless GM and keep losing. Now they fired the coach and going to have to get a whole new coaching staff. They give out horrible contracts, they are negative in the cap and don’t even have a good draft pick this year. TK honestly needs to leave the other things alone and focus solely on AEW. You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends. It will end up catching up with you.

The show at least looked better presentation wise since it was a smaller building and you could actually see with all the lights. Opening I really hope is a one off. Cause whoever came up with the idea for THAT song to be used is a moron.

lol Toni Storm comes back and they instantly book her on Rampage. The show nobody watches or cares about. TK is completely clueless. What a dumb booking decision.

Lo freakin L! What the hell did he expect. He made a stupid tweet about their biggest star they had and then got called out according to the article to his face and now screaming harassment. Hard to have sympathy when he got called out for his stupid tweet to his face. Good Riddance. I can’t name one match that dude has had or any promo he cut that did anything to entertain anyone. He can say it’s cause of Punk he lost his AEW gig but is it really?

Maybe it's overthinking but boy that Main Event wasn't good. HATED the ending. Yuta being hooded trying to hide his identity was lame AF. Mainly cause Yuta is horrible and Mox is even worse. This ending was overbooked to hell. Mid PPV 4/10.

That Mariah May segment was a Dynamite segment absolutely no reason that should have been on PPV.

This crowd didn't give any damn whatsoever that Kyle went over.
