You're right, but I popped for the "You gonna let a guy in a jean jacket talk to you like that?" from Gargano tho. Kyle's gunning hard for Seth's title of "guy who thinks he dresses cool but looks like a dork" title.

NXT was good again this week. Poppy's another one from outside the business that gets it. Her segment with Dexter was great (plus we got a dual Hunter/Regal camera mugging moment which was also great), and having her be the one bringing Io back was done well too.

In those days it was common to use boxing rings for wrestling, so that's probably what's going on here. They also usually sucked to bump on since boxing rings were designed to have less give, which was a lot of the reason older wrestling was slower paced.

I just don't know why anyone would sign Kylie Rae at this point. I've fought my own battles with mental issues and I know how hard it is, but how can any company book her at this point? Unless of course this is another self own and the NWA isn''t big enough to set off her anxiety.

Oh I fully expect Vince to double down on it, I'd honestly be shocked if he doesn't because that's how Vince rolls.

It's gonna be hilarious when they have live fans booing this stupid shit like Lily. We should start a pool to see how fast the company goes from "we missed our fans" to "you idiots can't apricate great art like Lily the possessed doll!".

For as much as "Nick Gage is unsafe" has become a talking point, has there been any serious injuries in his matches besides David Arquette? The only other serious injury I could think of is when he almost bled out, but that was a freak accident.

Dude keeps caping for a company that just fired him, which is embarrassing no matter what the company is. If you feel you need so say something, thank them for the opportunity, thank your co workers and move on. Spending hours talking about all the ideas they obviously didn't see any value in makes you look like a high school boy thinking he can still win back the girl that just dumped him.

So they added stips to Lashley/Drew where they either take the belt off a guy who's been amazing for months and deserves to stay champ, or beat the guy who was carrying the show all last year and make him look like a chump.

Vince is gonna make her into British Bertha Faye and it makes me sad to think about it. Also I noticed the last few weeks that watching four hours of wrestling on Fridays (Smackdown and Dynamite) is a far easier task than watching three hours of Raw. I don't blame the folks who think different people are running Raw and Smackdown, they really do feel like separate promotions at times. If it wasn't for the frequent rematches Smackdown wouldn't seem like WWE at all.

Was anyone claiming he was set for life? Maybe he was being paid higher than his position on the card (and I kinda doubt even that), but set for life? I wouldn't take anyone seriously who made that statement. I thought it was a great bit of pro wrestling. Gage was talking shit about him on Twitter (which in retrospect was clearly setting this up), Cardona got the crowd to believe it was Mox for a moment, and the crowd reaction going from "OMG ITS MOX" to "HOLY SHIT ITS MATT CARDONA" to "WTF IS THE ACTION FIGURE GUY DOING HERE" to "OMG NICK GAGE IS GOING TO MURDER THIS GUY" was great.

This. Dave mentioned the whole deal came done to Vince not getting him so you're probably spot on here. I get him wanting to prove his ideas were worthwhile, but he's coming off as desperately trying to prove how much Daddy Vince loved him while trying to shit on the people who were pointing out the obvious is where it veers into "things you get dunked on for" territory.

They seemed to have another mini burst of uploading, now ECW TV from 93-96 is all up and they added more WCW shows.

It's not as bad since everyone knows basketball players are mostly all freakishly tall, what was really funny is when they went to do a photo opp with the Yankees and Aaron Judge towered over everyone. Then again, Lebron letting Taker wait outside the locker room in full gear like a mark was a pretty good LOL moment.

The only thing I can see that warrants him getting dunked on is him continuing to give examples that Plans Changed despite him saying that's just something the dirtsheets came up with.

There was a gif of Embiid doing the DX chops that went kind of viral on Twitter, and HHH saw it. Being the thirsty attention seekers they are, you know they had to capitalize on it.

Well they moved HIAC so that they could use a big name PPV for the first non Mania PPV with crowds, but it did end up being a happy accident that they have a feud tailor made to do it.

I thought the Inner Circle segment was fine, you can argue that continuing the feud with the Pinnacle isn't the best idea, but the segment itself was fine. The Britt stuff was something I'd expect to see on Raw tbh. Not as bad as a Raw segment would be, but it really stood out in a bad way on Dynamite.

The photographer hijinks seemed like Vince throwing him a bone so it wasn't a straight up squash, but it was as decisive as Hogan was going to lose at that time without needing to use a shotgun.

Not having a video seemed to flatten the reaction a little, due how they have the ramp sideways the crowd probably couldn't tell who it was at first. Once they could see who it was it felt like a real "holy shit" moment. Andrade of course came off like a star, and wouldn't bet against him becoming a top guy quickly.

Not to mention Ezra's issue wasn't anything to do with being asked to help set up the ring, but with Drake talking grimy to him when he wasn't in a position to be doing that. Wording it that way makes Judge look like he was being an uppity brat (which I'm sure that isn't the word Drake would use) instead of telling someone acting like he's the boss to STFU.

Her match on the PPV pre show was one of the best women's matches of the year, maybe *the* best, and it was worked 100% the way Jim would like a match to be worked. He'll never watch a second of it because it involved Riho who he hates because of her connection to Omega.

That's situational to me. If a big guy/giant is doing the move, a back bump could work to put the move over. If it's an average sized guy it looks silly indeed.

I'm not sure if she still does, but I believe Gail Kim was working with the women at some point as well.

Yeah I thought I knew what I was getting into, then Robin told the story of Grizzly showing up at her house unannounced with a 9 year old girl. Jesus.
