I can't tell if you're joking or not, but Gunther/Walter has busted people's chests open from his vicious chops. 

I've never seen him do that on Smackdown (though his chops DO look vicious enough that I could see that happen) and I don't watch NXT.

 

And let's be honest, "Walter" is and always will be a terrible wrestling name. Aside from the Muppet, the most famous Walters are Matthau and Kronkite, and I'm reasonably sure that, were either one still alive, I could take in a fight.

... Well, Matthau seems like the kind who'd cheat a bit.

That's very fair and now that I've seen Jericho vs Ishii, I can't think of anyone else whose ever bled that way from chops. Walter/Gunther has made people bleed from chops. Not gushers like Jericho had, but broken skin and blood nonetheless

- Top Flight vs FTR was my MOTN.
- Hobbs promo was fire.
- Jericho/Claudio is uninspired but at least the the stipulation is fun.
- Punished Toni.
- Darby vs Henry was solid.
- I'm enjoying Athena's heel turn.
- Shida vs Aminata was OK. Women's squash matches are a waste but at least they set up a feud with BunnyFord.
- La Facción vs Dark Order was solid. Post-match beatdown was the best part. Unmasked Preston Vance replacing Andrade. Sad -1 :(

Crowd was annoying with the What chants for Claudio and loud wooing.

I have a bad feeling Cash is going to get sick of Dax talking about how he's one of the best wrestlers ever without acknowledging Cash. 

Dax vs Bryan should be a blast next Wednesday tho

I don’t see FTR ever breaking up. Especially since they’re shown as feckless in singles matches, I don’t think I’ve seen them actually Win one.

- Didn't expect Hangman to challenge Mox. Hot start to the show.

- Dax vs Danielson was great.

- Ricky wants all the bling. Mox & Page still fighting backstage.

- JAS/BCC segment was fun.

- Fox vs Joe (c) was good. Wardlow won't win the title back with Hobbs on the prowl.

- Big Burberry Belt! MJF might want to keep Danielson's name out of his mouth. All the WWE shoutouts lol. MJF Regal stretcher job was perfect.

- Starkz/Egon feud continues.

- Jay vs Willow was good. Ruby!

- No one wants to hear QT talk lol. Jade literally looking like money and talking a big game. Bow Wow still simping.

- Rampage card looks weak.

- The Elite vs Death Triangle III was my MOTN. They did well to make this match feel different.

- Diamond Ring Battle Royale was solid. Killer promo from Ricky.
- Technically a Miro sighting. Mox not mentioning Danielson...
- Darby vs Joe (c) was great. Joe looked like a monster.
- Claudio & YUTA vs Garcia & Hager was good. Claudio carried the match. Regal's final lesson.
- Hayter/Shida hype.
- The Baddies vs Blue, Rayne & Hogan was solid.
- TK not phoning in Rampage this week.
- FTR vs The Acclaimed was my MOTN. Glad it was a clean finish.

- Mox vs Takeshita was my MOTN. Mox bleeding for Rampage and being booed lol. Hangman!
- Hobbs needs to win his next feud.
- Bunny vs Shida (c) was good. Dueling chants. Hayter!
- The Firm vs Jobbers was OK.
- Trent vs Cassidy (c) was great. Dustin! I expect to see more UK talent being used before AEW's debut there.

Best Rampage in a long time.

- The Embassy vs Dalton & The Boys (c) - *** 1/2
- YUTA vs Garcia (c) - My favorite Pure Title match so far. **** 1/4
- The Briscoes vs FTR (c) - MOTN. So violent even the ref had a crimson mask 😮 - **** 3/4
- Juice vs Joe (c) - *** 1/2
- Claudio vs Jericho (c) - In retrospect this would have worked better if Jericho had beaten Gresham and this was the climax of Claudio's arc. ****

I hope FITE pick up ROH and add it to AEW Plus which I already pay for.

- The Elite vs Death Triangle IV was their weakest so far but still great. Nice injury/hammer angle leading to a stipulation.
- MJF the Star Maker with a top promo.
- Interrupting an Acclaimed rap equals easy heat. Sammy is going to break Garcia lol.
- Cage vs Jungle Boy was good. HOOK!
- BCC still going strong. The Factory got whipped. New HoB theme goes hard.
- Hayter/Shida hype!
- Jericho vs Andretti was fun. They subverted expectations and the crowd were hot.
- Ricky killing it with his promo game.
- Tay vs Ruby was great. Loved the intensity.
- Sad Hangman.
- Starks vs MJF was my MOTN. MJF couldn't put Ricky away without cheating. American Dragon!

One of my favorite Dynamites this year.

- That was the best Preston Vance has ever sounded.
