Oh and lol at no one taking SD women's champion Bayley on night 1.

Who is picking for either side?
Is Stephanie 'Creator of Women and Womens Wrestling' McMahon on any side?
Yeah there was a pool of people for each evening.
Going well once again for Lars Sullivan.
This time an online yoga teacher saying he's been asking for pictures of her arse despite her already having asked him to leave her alone.
The new/2020 G1 format has its downsides (although it's telling how the best wrestlers have played into them) but the shorter/tighter shows are much easier to digest.
Some of bumps and strong style on display is right on the line.
It's been great (I even care about Taichi), Ibushi/Suzuki from the other day was immense, the very best kind of meat circus.
Suzuki is one of the greatest of all time at this point. I cant place Ospreay atm.
Memories.
Mercedes Martinez has been given a kiss of life.
She's been removed from Retribution and will be going back to NXT.
So Andrade goes undrafted yet Dabba-Kato, Riddick Moss, Lana, Arturo Ruas and Titus get drafted. What?
Does Titus still wrestle? I don't remember the last time I saw him on TV, I thought he'd quietly retired.
He's wrestled on RAW twice since the last draft. He also does the occasional Main Event (who even watches that) and does RAW underground.
Retribution being drafted is the worst pick of a completely shit draft.
This whole "pools of draftees per show" is nonsense.
Andrade going undrafted.
Also loving them moving whole feuds between brands. Really freshening things up!
Adam wanted The Good Brothers to win so badly.
I think we all did in the hope that it'd mean they'd be back on.
They really do always come across as top blokes.
Yeah but it ruined it for me slightly.
Giving them 2 points (sure it was the same match but it was a different entrance), featuring their nips in the nip round and then the very last question just to give them the win.
He's done similar judgement call-y points before on similarly tenuous grounds and why on Earth wouldn't you give yourself the chance to see a wrestler not recognise their own nipples in that round? Sure they probably did want them to win but if so Luke and Oli are more senior than him and would have been the ones who told him to do it.
Who cares who wins? It's just for the lols.
EDIT Just read the NXT results. I really don't have much interest in further Candace LeRae title matches.

He's contracted to do 2 matches a year (for 2 more years), could be setting him up for Rumble...
Fucking murder him, Roman.
Braun looks like his mum and dad are getting a divorce.
Be intereting to see who they cart out for nostalgia matches in 10 years?
Miz?
It’ll obviously be The Undertaker.
WWE using "Greatest Royal Rumble champion" as part of Boatman's ring announcement. I was surprised he was allowed to kick out of a Spear in a match so unrelated to anything else but I do like Reigns winning with a submission. Is that a first?
I am well up for Rollins vs. Bryan. Well, in three years when he's finally stopped feuding Mysterios.
Final thought, or to reiterate one I think I posted previously, Lars Sullivan (his multiple faux pas aside) is in a weird spot on the main roster. The Freak Accident looks like shit when it's not being done on NXT midgets, he's not that tall compared to your average main roster person and as far as I can tell he doesn't have notable strength to do anything that spectacular so other than in the hope he gives Vince a semi I'm not really sure what he's for.
I hear Lars is in the market for giving men hard-ons.
He's a freak.
G1 A-Block final was certainly eventful. I think that's the first person I've seen leave on excursion and then return since I started watching. Shockingly, Ishii and Suzuki played starring roles again. English comms up almost instantly too, the turn around is far better than even the start of the tournament.
WK battle of the broken necks is going to be brilliant/scary. Im really looking forward to to see Jay White v EVIL and also see who joins Ospreays new group.
So many quality Young Lions atm the future is again looking bright for NJPW.
Dark Side of the Ring renewed for 14 more episodes.
I struggle to think of 14 more wrestling stories.
Sid Justice stabbing Arn Anderson with a chair leg.
Ken Patera and Masa Saito beating up 25 cops over Ken Patera getting mad a closed McDonalds wouldn't sell him a cheeseburger.
The plane ride from hell.
Those are my top 3 that haven't got the right treatment.
Jimmy Snuka murdering his girlfriend and Vince covering it up a close fourth.
Snuka was in last season, I think.
He was.
The 3 episodes people claim to have been interviewed for so far are Grizzly Smith (I had no idea but apparently he's Jake's Dad?), Brian Pillman and the WCW show they did in Korea. Supposedly the Korea one was the main thing they wanted to do this season so I wouldn't be surprised if that's another 2 parter.
It's wrestling, there's more things than they could possibly hope to have enough episodes to cover.
The Empire is a bit meh.
New Japan (I assume due to the language/cultural divide) can't name things for shit. Empire is at least short enough to stick on a t-shirt and makes sort of sense, which is pretty stellar for them.
CHAOS, Suzuki Gun, Bullet Club, Los Ingobernables de Japon and The Empire. Im sure they will get the name over it just doesnt fit IMO.
It will be interesting to see who he gets in as the Juniors and tag teams.
Oh good, Pat McAfee is back. (Happy for Lorcan and Burch though.)
Listening to lapsed fan on 1998 wargames. Hearing some amazing stories of how bischoff basically lost his mind. He tried to do a storyline where they'd leak a rumour to the actual press that him and some Midcard guy had actually died in a plane crash...then the two of them would come back at halloween havoc. As ghosts. I want to believe it's true so much.
Is Lapsed Fan good? I listen to Wrestletalk and Going in Raw for my current reviews and stuff and watch Wrestling with Wregret as well but obviously working at home means there aren't really enough podcasts.
I tried Attitude Era podcast and found them really annoying after an episode or two.
OSW is good too, all their stuff is up on YT.
I've yet to try OSW but I'm listening to spotify through the TV anyway so I could put them on the Youtube just as easily.
I read about that.
This is the only musical I want in my wrestling.
