Bryan didn't even want to be in the match, let alone win it or not put Roman completely over lol. He wished Roman faced Edge in a singles match but Vince wanted him to make it a Triple Threat. (this is according to Bryan's own word btw).

I assumed it's another person, never heard nor read about Tsuyoshi Kikushi working a management gig in New Japan. I could be totally wrong though, of course.

This is the best summary and translation of Ibushi's latest tweets Whoever that Kikuchi guy is, he fucked up royally.

Reading on twitter Ibushi is back full force with fuckery only understood by him

Filming a movie? He gonna go full Brock and still be champ?

What's with Roman saying on a house show he "starting a new phase in his career" and teasing he didn't know if would be back in the same building again? I mean, workers work -and even if he went full Hollywood he'd be back eventually for a part time run- but this seems a little out of nowhere, no?

I don't want a belt, just bring back King of Trios and make it a big deal.

Regal saying people will forget being stabbed in 6 months is the kind of ignorant violent shit I need on my wrestling.

Can we get more of this please, gawd damn William https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1521618856053067776

Punk or Danielson in big singles matches against New Japan stars will sell big. Omega's return would be the biggest draw most likely but I'm not sure dude will be ready by June.

He has to have some sort of interaction with Ibushi at Forbidden Door.

BCC needs an unified entrance and theme. Even if Mox has to come out from the crowd he can still do it while the other two do it normally, there's no need for 3 different theme songs and entrances at this point. They are a unit supposedly.

I wonder who wins the Owen Hart tournament on the men side. On the women's side, I guess Serena Deeb would be the best choice to challenge Rosa.

Punk continues to be highly motivated, which means he's performing at the highest of levels. Dragon continues to be the best in the world at this wrestling stuff. They've had a lot of similar opponents at this stage and I'm not sure Punk has had a better match with anyone. Kingston being a legit tossup which kinda shows how awesome Eddie is (same with Dustin). Still, Punk vs Bryan is not an argument that's fun to have right now, both are great and I feel every discussion about them ends up with taking shots at one to take him down a peg...though that might just be me reading Twitter too much.

I sure hope so because I want them to start getting more of a direction from this point forward. The set up was great, they established Yuta in record time. Now let's get something with more meat to it.

I'd love to read that happiness in non.WWE threads bubba

And Punk's been hinting going for a belt since before the MJF feud. He'es been more explicit after the dog collar match, obviously.

Props to Cole for taking those 3 big bumps and making Hangman look like a very dominant/badass babyface champion. I thought the match was very good, I had a good feeling when I realized it couldn't go longer than 20 minutes and they didn't disappoint. Very little excess and to the point. Hangman has been everything he needed to be and more as champ, his next match with Punk is gonna be can't miss.

This gotta be the most stacked Dynamite ever, right?

This Yuta angle can't be described as anything other than a home run. Everyone involved nailed it and made it work in the span of 3 weeks, lol.

Holy shit, when did they make WALTER lose all that weight?? what the hell did they do to him? It's one thing for him to be treated like "any other hoss" in a setting like Strong Big Japan but this is something else.

WWE is different though because they not only have 1 PPV main title defense a month (on average). They have (well, had) TWO main titles. So when you combine all the content they have to book each week with the same 4-5 people rotating over the two belts, it gets repetitive way faster. And this company tends to stretch this cycle way more than others because they are financially secure so when a new guy is pushed, it's either for a transitional reign or to give a little break from the core 4-5 wrestlers so they can build to the shows "that actually matter".

Was about to post the same. From the outside, it feels Roman, Brock, Lashley and Drew are the new Cena, HHH, Batista, Orton and Edge of the mid 00s.

Saw McAfee vs Theory + fuckery, that was great. Also saw the main event, not so great. Really weird they didn't go full blood for this match. At this point they kinda don't have any other choice but to do finisher spamming and no selling so at least give it a wild bloody brawl feel to make it special. Still, last year's Mania was well received and from what I've gathered this was even better so good on WWE for getting their shit right. Even if it's just for 1 weekend, being able to establish that no one comes close to this type of spectacle AND it's a fun ass show to watch is something they can't afford to lose at this point.
