Kind of feel like they ran out of steam 5 minutes ago

Big missed opportunity to have the metal logos over the railing for the fans to pound along with

Imo the most important things about wrestling psychology are pacing and emotion. I feel like a lot of discussion online for a long time now has been overly concerned with every single move, spot, sell, facial reaction having to make perfect sense and everything lead to the next thing. I would compare it to songs where the lyrics don't really make sense or mean anything, but the melody and rhythm are great.

Would be hilarious if Cody ends up out of his own company and then out of WWE

Codyverse was nothing like Watts era WCW. Cody's vision is modern WWE but with blading.

I watched that video of Tiger Driver 91s and was wondering what happened to Misawa between 1995 and 1997? He looked like he aged 8 years in between.

I think Adam Cole is pretty good and his size doesn't really matter too much because he carries himself and is presented as a star. However, he got into some really bad habits in NXT that then spread to all the NXT main events. There are times when his size does matter because he's doing shit like getting into the hockey fights with Luchasaurus or controlling Keith Lee with headlocks and it looks absolutely laughable. That's just bad psychology, not unlike those Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss matches where Alexa somehow physically dominated most of the match instead of controlling with technique or cutting her down. My biggest issue with him is the Panama Sunrise is the worst Canadian Destroyer variant and makes no fucking sense even in wrestling physics.

The work MJF is doing in the Punk feud is definitely a million times better than that stretch of doing nothing but shock jock cheap heat shit.

Gonna lol when Jay Lethal ends up back in ROH

AJ was in ROH with the Bullet Club for the entirety of his NJ run.

Hopefully this leads to the forever end of happy Punk and a return to piece of shit angry at the world Punk even if he's a face.

He had a face run in AEW already

If TNA's tape library is for sale again, TK should buy it. AEW, ROH, TNA streaming service would be pretty rad.

I don't really know why that'd be a big announcement for fans unless the ROH library is going to be easily and readily available. Interest in ROH was completely in the shitter for a long time. They have no contracted talent. And all of the people who were still in ROH are doing a ROH invasion in TNA anyway.

Breh they literally did a "you insulted me in an IWA Mid South locker room" angle on TV that led to a PPV match

Can't wait for Cody/Brandi vs Miz/Maryze vs Corey/Carmella all over whose reality show is the best

Do y'all really want a "he didn't put me over before going to WWE" storyline

Alexa Bliss is a babyface since last summer and has been booked as one, I'm sure they are not mad at her getting face reactions against Charlotte or in an EC where she was also booked to have a dominant run against women much larger than her.

I would argue that Bret leaving was not a hit to WWE at all. It kicked off the hottest run, the main event run of Austin, the Mr. McMahon character, and really the official Attitude Era while WCW gained absolutely nothing with Bret.

Really Vince is the only one that should induct Taker but other options that would make sense: Kane, HHH, HBK, Austin, Foley, maybe JBL.

I imagine Kane's induction speech would touch upon cancel culture and freedom

A rare blunder from strobogo

A rare blunder from Cena

Kane had some good stuff over the years but also was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 00s/10s in the same way that Taker was involved in some of the absolute worst garbage in the 90s.

Man, Kane and Taker really suck
