Jaysin Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Few things. They're close to selling out Arthur Ashe for Dynamite. Only around 1,000 tickets left in a 19,000 seater. The card is awesome, so not really surprised. Also, apparently Chavo was kicked to the curb because it was time for him to go back to work on Young Rock and he should return in some capacity when filming is done. Strange they only used him for less than a month though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mootinie Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I do wonder if the original plan was to put Ric Flair with Andrade, but I imagine they'll nope the F out of that idea after last night's Dark Side of the Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makhai Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Eddie being pigeonholed into being Moxley's eternal butt buddy is very unfortunate. Miro vs. Sammy makes next to no sense, as does the car thing. Very WWE booking. Too many squash matches overall. The level of wrestling on TV has dropped quite a bit.Team Taz is kinda irrelevant after 400 TV jobs, that stable has zero heat, and getting beat like a drum by the Punker isn't gonna help.Do not like Omega vs. Danielson being booked for this show. Both are hurt too much by losing, Omega should have said no, and made Danielson chase him. The New York show is stacked already. Maybe do Danielson vs. one of the goombas. That would have been plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan93 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Who are you referring to as "goombas"? You complained about squash matches, then appeared to request Danielson vs. Michael Nakazawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Dreamer is taking the heat for telling the story that RVD and the flight attendant confirms is disgraceful honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goode Brothers, Brandon Cutler, The Bucks individually, Rich Swann take your pick. Omega shouldn't rerun the exact same angle he just ran. And Danielson really can't be losing his debut.

Makhai Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 <p>The one thing I forgot to add was how wrong I was about Ruby Soho, I thought she'd do really well as a change-of-pace vet option, but she's so much better than that. And she was held down so much harder by Vince than I could have imagined. </p><p> </p><p> In the sea of "Is this a stripper, or a wrestler" style girls with very similar ring gear, all doing WWE PC stuff, under the big 4 or 5, she sticks right out in a really cool way. Rooting for that title match to be something special and for her to do some fun stuff with Rosa, Riho, and Shida down the line.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not down with punishing people for expressing the feelings they had 20 years ago on a documentary. The purpose of these things is to have people be open and honest.

Ric Flair isn't even the worst offender. You get an unbelievable picture of Brock Lesnar, Scott Hall, really everybody. It's an hour-long global smear on the wrestling business in that era. Tommy Dreamer just shrugs and says he believes she was out to get paid, which is horrible, but he's getting treated worse than Lesnar, Scott Hall, and Ric Flair here and 2/3rds of that list was an eyeblink from raping a flight attendant in drug-addled drunken apism, and the stories are corroborated. </p><p> </p><p> Don't get me wrong here, it's horrific. The Terry stuff is the worst of it to me because these flight attendants had to deal with these monkeys for 10hrs, and she had to deal with them for 15 years.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mootinie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Danielson has Omega in the crossface, the bell rings to indicate the time limit, Omega taps after the bell. Perfect finish IMO, that's how I would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Was anyone else incredibly disappointed by Lucha Bros vs Butcher and Blade? I'll admit I had really high hopes, but it felt like there was constant miscommunication going on. I'm a huge fan of all four men, but it really let me down.
