  1. Starks and Big Bill vs. Dark Order didn't make a hell of a lot of sense. The champs are headed into Phoenix to ostensibly be the heels, and yet this match had them as babyfaces.
  2. He went 45 minutes with MJF (on TV no less!), and while that was an excellent match, it's not exactly what I personally would recommend to a wrestler coming back after a long hiatus.
  3. Yes, as I imagine many of the people there in Miami are smart marks who've attended NXT live tapings. For those of us at home who don't watch NXT, yeah, no idea, and even when the announcers called it out, it didn't feel like the big deal they were making it out to be.
  4. Triple H really needs to learn that just because someone was a big deal in NXT does not mean they're a big deal. Twice, they had NXT people come out like it was this huge moment, and I'm sure a lot of people watching Smackdown were like, "Did a fan jump the barricade?"
  5. J.K. Simmons is an Academy Award winning actor, and beloved by millions for his role as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man franchise. He also does commercials for candy and insurance, because he is a professional, and professionals work the darn jobs regardless of how "big" they are.
  6. If WWE thinks I'm going to pay $6.99 (or more) per month to watch RAW, they can go... WELL. The good news is I have 3 hours on Monday nights freed up now!
  7. Seth Rollins cuts promos with all the intensity of a guy named Chad complaining about his order at Starbucks. As far as last night... CM Punk: "I can separate business from personal...." Me: *spit take*
  8. It's been a while since I've loaded up the game, but if memory serves, CWA starts somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.5-3 million. That is more than enough to start a network with coverage in the U.S. as a complement to the main show's broadcaster. However, I like making a second show, as more shows improve your workers and get you closer to that extra skill point.
  9. Never say never. Who would have guessed five years ago that Billy Gunn would be wildly popular now?
  10. Did anyone else notice that Julia Hart got on the wrong side initially for the group suplex spot?
  11. Similarly, I really hope they don't do something stupid like have Willow turn on Stat.
  12. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect matches that were designed to have a clear winner actually have a clear winner. ANYWAY, I had trouble breathing after that R-Truth segment.
  13. It's lazy. Just like when the Hell In A Cell between Roman and Strowman ended in a No Contest when Brock showed up.
  14. Jericho has had one ever since he and Kenny beat the Young Bucks.
  15. Chris Jericho in a taped backstage segment with the audience muted? GEE, I wonder why they might have gone that route....
  16. Right, an official calling an end to a match with no clear winner is what a No Contest finish is.
  17. Leave it to Triple H to come up with a way to have a No Contest/ DQ finish in a Triple Threat match.
  18. I'll forgive Matt Hardy a lot if we get full on Broken Matt back.
  19. Okay, a lot of those I'll give you, but Malakai Black? The House Of Black is usually booked very strongly, and Black is one of the more protected guys on the roster.
  20. I just hope that Deonna Purazzo doesn't fall prey to the "AEW Women's Division big debut" curse that we've seen time and again. See also: Ruby Soho, Taya Valkyrie, Athena, etc.
  21. Cody vs. Roman II absolutely doesn't excite me. "Finish the story" would be a lot more compelling if the story was actually interesting.
  22. I disagree. Taven and Bennett have really won me over the past few months. The only personality that ReDragon has is in Bobby Fish's mustache (which, admittedly, is some of the finest facial hair in modern pro wrestling).
  23. They can finally (pardon the expression) get this damn "dream match" out of their system and then we can move forward with the Universal Championship.
  24. You know how during the Continental Classic, everyone was saying how they loved the absolutely no interference stipulation? They definitely need something like that for the AEW Women's Division. Because I am SO sick of AEW Women's matches having interference from partners or managers or what have you.
