Any other longterm fans starting to feel alienated by the current fanbase?
Is wrestling an art form? Yes and no. Movies are widely considered an art form. But would you put all movies in that category? No, of course not. Ditto for books. Video games are debated as an art form, but the same question applies. The same is true for wrestling. Are all wrestlers artists and are all matches art? No. But a few are. That is basically going to be the case for any form of entertainment.

Aries is such a geek that even other geeks think he's a geek. Gallagher is incredible - and incredibly misused - so I hope he jumps ship the minute his WWE contract ends.

Secret Santo 2018-2019
I'm really glad you liked it, @Jetlag. Yeah, it was definitely wildly different from the norm of the WWF at the time, which made it really special IMO. BTW, I haven't forgotten about the match you gave me. Just been having sleep issues lately and feeling, well, jetlagged all the time. Hoping to get to it in the next day or two.

They also have a commentator in a lucha mask. As silly as that is, you're not looking at the full picture if you're acting like only Ross and Tony are there. Has it even been confirmed that Tony will be doing commentary?

Dave Meltzer stuff
Dave has no one to blame but himself if anyone is in fact "misunderstanding" him. Most of his tweets are unintelligible gibberish. Hire an editor!

How does he go from a leg injury to fine? Worked injury? Or ignoring the injury and working through it with a combination of booze and pain pills because of any or all of the following? - "The bidness comes first, BROTHERRR!" - "I can work through the pain, DADDY!" - "I don't miss a shot, but I've missed weddings, funerals, my kids' lives, etc., JACK!"

Dave Meltzer stuff
I'm in the U.S. and have seen tons of movies, and I've never once seen anyone cheer for a cameo or anything else. At most, I've seen people on rare occasions clap at the end of certain movies - which is also stupid IMO - but that's different from what Dave is incessantly babbling about on Twitter. P.S. Speaking of Jeff Jarrett cameos, there's a fun wrestling one - with Jerry Lawler - in the Michael J. Fox movie "Life With Mikey."

BAD news! This was the marquee match for a lot of people, including me, so it's a big blow. My friend just told me Zzz-PAC is the replacement. Hope that's not accurate, because what a fucking downgrade. (Yeah, yeah, they'll probably have a good rasslin' match, but it doesn't carry nearly the same weight, intrigue, or starpower that Omega vs. Mox would have.) UPDATE: It's official... Yawn! What a snooze. I realize they were caught between a rock and a hard place with Mox's injury, and I'm sympathetic, but I don't care about Zzz-PAC or this match.

Heyman's mic work jumped the shark years ago though.

Except, his WWE run was...fine. And regardless of what's happening with him and AEW (whether that whole stupid fiasco is a work or shoot), Dragon Gate is a massive step down from both.

Yep, and looked liked a neutered wimp in the process. I assume the segment was intended to generate sympathy for him, but man, it didn't work at all.

Fun match between Bryan and Murphy. But who is under the hood? Looks pale enough to be Sheamus but maybe not tall enough.

As dumb and misguided as Sasha's "Jim Neidhart is in Hell" crap is, Charlotte-Bayley would kill to have a fraction of the heat her feuds with Nattie and Becky have.

Here come The Revival, dressed like Hulk Hogan. Their way of showing disdain for "Kofi's people"? (I'm not serious, but considering that low-key racism was a stealth part of the Kofi WM build, anything is possible.)

Here comes RKZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Has he ever "made" anyone in his life? Even "That Indian Guy's" three consecutive PPV victories over him felt utterly meaningless. Edit: Okay, maybe you could argue for Mark Henry, but I'd argue that Henry was in the right place with the right character and push, and RKO just happened to be the warm body there to facilitate that.

I don't think Murphy should beat Bryan (I expect a DQ anyway), but I do think he needs to start winning matches after this - historically the part WWE always botches in the aftermath.
