Forbidden Door already stacked with Ospreay vs Omega and Danielson vs Okada. They could run just these two matches and I'd be cool with it.

Jade reminds me of Cody and all the Codyverse stuff. He was just there every week completely detached from everything else that was happening on the show. She was with Mark Sterling, then dropped him to go with that other guy, then went back to Sterling. Then Kiera Hogan was there for a while, now it's Leila Grey. Just facing a bunch of jobbers and mid to lower card women every other week. They randomly decided to give a 1 week push to Marina Shafir, with a hype video and all that, to try to make her credible as a contender, and of course she lost in a terrible 10 minute match and was never to be seen again. It's really weird in that sense. She has the star power like nobody else in the division, but they make her feel directionless. Six months training in Japan would do wonders, but she has a kid and a husband, doesn't look like it would be worth for her.

He's like MJF in that sense. MJF is great because he is not out there wrestling for 20 minutes every week. He could do it and it would be banger after banger after banger, no doubt, but less matches make it feel more special when he wrestles.

I used to love how he was handled at first. Like a special attraction, wrestling sporadically. There was a spot in one of the first Dynamites that had a Inner Circle vs Elite backstage brawl and he was just hanging out in a random bathroom out of nowhere. That was really funny. The problem is when the supposedly lazy wrestler is wrestling the same 18-minute matches every single week. I know I'm in the absolute minority, but it's legit go-away heat for me. Same with Jeff Jarrett and a few others.

OC opening the show took me completely out of it. Him winning again just made it worse.

The only match that I am kinda hyped about is the Anarchy in the Arena. I know the Four Pillars is gonna be a banger but I'm not really hyped about it. The Women's Title match could also be good but Hayter is reportedly injured.

I just saw this image and had to share. 19 matches for a weekly show. If ROH had a 50 minute show with 3 or 4 matches, I might could give it a shot. This is way too much imo. Less is more in this case. But now that there's no Dark anymore, this will be where they are gonna use most of the lower card. But hey, people have to get their $10 worth of content somehow.

OC opening a show yet again. It's an instant mute for me.

The 2006 Shifting Sands is linking to the wrong mod. When you click on it, it goes to "2020 Before The Fall". @Kubikiri Asa

Someone that I really want to see back is PAC. He's just incredible in every aspect and I'd love to see him in a singles run going after the World Champion.

I can see Taya losing and Statlander returning after the match. Which in my opinion is a mistake, just like having Jade hold the belt for 500 days beating jobbers in short matches while waiting for Statlander to return from her second injury is a huge mistake. There's no hype in 50-something wins in a row if the kinda-relevant opponents can be counted in one hand.

Sammy was presented as a face yesterday because the show was in Texas, where he is from. I don't expect crowds to be cheering for him anywhere. Which is a shame, because I actually like him.

The second hour was a lot better than the first one. Jeff Jarrett on national TV in 2023 is already bad enough, and then they bring in Karen. I don't get it. It's an instant mute for me until they are out of the screen. Jericho's match was pretty fun. About CM Punk, I really hope he doesn't come back now. There's always something with him and he's gonna keep being trouble in the locker room.

I love the logo. Reminds me of the old Nitro logo. But having a show around Miro, Thunder Rosa, Andrade and CM Punk might backfire though 😅

Last week's Dynamite was pretty good even though I completely forgot to watch lol Next Wednesday is the WBD Upfronts and it could end up being the most important day in their history. Possible new deal for Dynamite + new slot for Collision + streaming deal with MAX.

Good to hear that 50k tickets are already sold on pre-sale for All In. Yesterday's show was just not good in my opinion. Hope they improve their game ahead of DoN.

I can see Dark coming back when the new deal with WBD is announced. Even though I haven't watched Dark since the first month, it is very cheap content and could be put on the MAX platform.

What I miss the most is that authentic feel, where you could sense that anything could happen. Now they just follow a script that everyone that has been watching for a minute can pinpoint what's happening next. The format they've been puting out is like: - A 16-18 minute match (usually involving OC), one commercial in the middle - Backstage interview that is interrupted by whoever is being interviewed is feuding right now, goes to commercial - A 10-12 minute match, 1 minute promo video about someone saying some things, commercial - A squash if there's one and a JAS promo, another backstage interview that is interrupted quickly - Another random match at the top of the hour, commercial - Women's match starting at about 10:25 to 10:30, one commercial - Random interview being interrupted and a match being made for Rampage, Excalibur speed reading the cards for Rampage and Dynamite - Main event starting at around 10:48, with a commercial just four minutes later. Lately they've been trying a different dynamic that resembles more The Attitude Era, when there are separate storylines in each show to follow the big storyline, but I personally don't like it very much. I miss these silly things like the Dippin Dots brawl.

Really bad show last night. I should have just skipped. Can't stand OC anymore and Slapnuts should NOT be wrestling on national television in 2023.

+1 I don't really care much about going into movies, TV or band tour. It's the politics that always gets in my nerves, because it happens way too often IMO and it's not realistic. Maybe there could be a code like "nopolitics" if you want to disable it.

The absolute biggest match they can have is CMFTR vs The Elite. But there are so much stuff in between that we don't know if it's actually happening until it does. I'm not even a Punk fan but he's right now the most realistically option to take the company to the next level. The problem is that Tony Khan is the master in wasting opportunities, like this card that he put out after the CM Punk debut on Rampage. I'll always be salty about this. Singles Match Matt Hardy vs. Orange Cassidy AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament First Round Match The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix) (w/Alex Abrahantes) vs. The Varsity Blonds (Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff Garrison) (w/Julia Hart) Singles Match Jamie Hayter (w/Dr. Britt Baker DMD & Rebel) vs. Red Velvet Six Man Tag Team Match Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston & Jon Moxley (w/Sting) vs. The Wingmen (Cezar Bononi, JD Drake & Ryan Nemeth) (w/Peter Avalon) Six Man Tag Team Match The Gunn Club (Austin Gunn, Billy Gunn & Colten Gunn) vs. The Factory (Aaron Solo, Nick Comoroto & QT Marshall) Singles Match Malakai Black vs. Brock Anderson (w/Arn Anderson)

At this point I don't even care about him anymore. What I care about are the people that are in danger because of him. How many more second chances are you getting until you kill someone just like Sunny did? And I'm not even going to talk about in-ring. Jeff and Matt's bodies are so banged up that they can barely move.

AEW trademark "AEW Collision" for a wrestling tv show a while back. This is probably their debut date:

There are strong rumours that the new show it's going to be 2 hours on Saturday. I wonder what's gonna happen to Rampage.

I was expecting London but I was not expecting Wembley. This is HUGE!
