    Lashley/Braun/Drew was absolutely brilliant.

    That was a near perfect way to use those three.

    Props on Braun almost dying too with a fucking dive.

    Skip the Miz/Priest zombie match/advert and that PPV is the best they've done in some time.

    That would have been really bad for Boatman had Drew not slowed the fall.

    That PPV was quite fun on the whole, with the obvious exception of the zombie bollocks which I didn't watch. (Yeah, let's belittle our own talent to promote a movie starring a guy who's never going to wrestle for us again.)

    I thought the end of Reigns / Cesaro was a little flat because a) I think the 'passing out to the guillotine' thing is less effective if it's happening so often and b) I just feel like for Cesaro the method to beat him shouldn't be to wear him down given he's one of the fittest men on the roster but brute force. The men's triple threat was pretty formulaic and the 'explosion' that Bobbles was thrown into was laughable but they kept the pace up and kept it fun. Solid show, albeit entirely throwaway and I'll probably remember little about it.

    So apparently Raw had five matches with three of this having dirty finishes, two of which were Kofi getting distraction/interference roll-ups on Orton and Bobbles. I also like that we have a feud on each show fuelled by the theft of headwear, assuming O'Shea and Sheamus has more to come. That was a decent match though, as you'd expect, as was Charlotte vs. Asuka. Though the former spent most of her time trying not to pop out of her top from what I could see.

    Alexander Wolfe also gone, they could put Timothy Thatcher into Imperium now.

    Edit: Ezra Judge and Skyler Story (not heard of either before) also gone.

    Velveteen Dream has been fired.

    I'm still entirely sure he actually was a nonce as the evidence I saw was circumstantial although there was quite a bit of it. He did however go from being one of my favourite wrestlers to one that I just couldn't cheer for mind.

    He was never going to live it all down though because the internet went full guns blazing and decided he was properly guilty.

    Hard to see what he does from here unless he can somehow clear his name entirely but even then people will heckle him with it.

    I'm surprised it took them so long, it was very clear they won't going to commit to him. As you say, the amount of reports about it and stuff that came out around him really seemed to make it clear that even if he wasn't an actual nonce his behaviour seemed veeeeery sketchy.

    It's a real shame as a fan because he could have been so good. I still don't imagine Vince buying into him on Raw or SmackDown but we certainly could have got some more excellent years out of him on NXT.

    I loved his matches against Black and Riddle in particular.

    Miro (Rusev) is one of the best things about AEW at the moment. He’s so good.

    Brian Cage is the best though, with Max Caster close second.

    It's nice that they don't mess about too much with names, but now there's both Brian and Christian Cage as well as Adam and Ethan Page maybe they should start. Darby Allin's the best person on it that I'd not seen before, whereas what the fuck has happened to Cody Rhodes?

    There’s also Orange Cassidy and Isiah Kassidy, who are both OGs but I’m less surprised as more time passes and more duplicate names appear. Looking forward to them hiring Kenny Roads and Darby Omega.

    Yeah Darby is great. They need to stick a title on Sammy Guevara and have those 2 have some six star matches.

    Adnan Virk is gone.

    One of the worst commentators they've used. He had 0 knowledge and was really annoying, especially in the final few moments of a match.

    He was very, very shit but it's not really his fault. I don't understand why he was dropped into that job in the first place. Joseph, Phillips, etc. are mighty boring but they do a competent job while Vince is screaming obscenities in their ears. Graves was doing all the heavy lifting paired with Virk.

    Riddles / Woods was really fucking good. Just a brilliant pacey TV match of the sort that with the roster they have they COULD be filling Raw with instead of having a story featuring Tamina, Nia Jax and Reginald in the main event.

    Kross/Balor from Tuesday is by a wide margin my favourite Kross match so far. Really enjoyed it. I'll be curious to see who wins the #1 contendership next week. I'm assuming O'Reilly but there's an argument for any of them.

    Is this where the NXT UK rumours I saw the other day have come from? Because I find it lol enough that he'd want to go to WWE in the first place but the idea of him going to their bottom rung brand is laughable.

    Probably, as I understand it NJ wanted him to do another tour and have been housing their foreign wrestlers at the dojo rather than hotels etc which was rather unpopular. I think he must have flown back here to get his neck and back looked at which is where the NXT rumours have come from (plus his girlfriend came back from Japan recently and signed with them) but I can't see it myself. He has a long contract and has been a long term project of theirs and as you say, there could hardly be a bigger step down.

    You'd think if he decided to take the WWE money he'd insist on an AJ Styles type deal where he swerves NXT and just goes straight to Raw or Smackdown. Unless he took the presumably lower earnings but less of a shit time of NXT, but NXT UK? Not a chance.

    And as you say this is all predicated on the possibility of NJPW releasing him from his deal in the first place.

    *Turns up in the Impact Zone*

    He's a bit of an idiot so you can't rule out him tanking his relationship with NJ but I've seen nothing to suggest this hasn't been done with their approval, it just wasn't what they initially wanted him to do. Fuck knows who they put the belt on now, they even dragged Okada off his Covid-bed to reassure people that he would still be around.

    I assume NJPW are just gagging to have some of their stars commentated by Maggle, seen here giving Bianca Belair her own portmanteau name.

    Right before that he'd also failed to use the name of her finisher, calling it a 'face plant.'

    Meanwhile, WWE booked Shayna Baszler to lose to Reginald. Everybody involved in that decision should be immediately fired.

    Yeah from the reviews I read and the half an hour I watch of it a week it doesn't seem to have any one consistent redeeming feature right now. The RKBro stuff maybe as that's still fun at the moment. But that's it. Other than "occasionally they let some talented people have a good match" it's all so, so bad. Smackdown's not a lot better it's just that the Reigns/Usos stuff is good and tends to dominate the shows but everything else is much the same as Raw. Did anybody here endure the Raw guest GM run? I gather that was consistently horrendous so I'd be curious to know where it stands next to current Raw.

    What's amazing is that it's finally bad enough that a lot of wrestling Youtube/podcast channels seem to be just stopping reviewing it altogether. I watch/listen to Wrestletalk, Going in Raw and Wrestling with Wregret. Wrestletalk are still cracking on, GIR are gonna start rolling it in with their news brief on Tuesday because they can't face reviewing it after sitting through three hours of it and Zane on WWW has got his mate doing it.

    Thankfully NXT's on a decent run at the moment (though I still think they have the same roster issues I've probably already waffled about at length previously.)
