It's just lazy. They need to speak to the Japanese about tag team names: Holy Demon Army, Strong BJ, Dangerous Tekkers.

Strong BJ
I would like to add my
The overarching story of AEW might be a bit meh atm but the wrestling is A++
Riho vs Hayter was an absolute banger. Bryan v Sammy was good. There's always at least 2-3 good matches per Dynamite so it's still worth it. I guess if you just view Wrestling as Eastenders with some chops then maybe it could be an issue.

I just want to know if they slapped their legs when kicking the door.
The Bucks are pros, ofc they did.
Just got around to Royal Quest and Aussie Open / FTR is amongst the best tag matches of the year, which is a strong group.
Yep. The camera work wasn’t great but it was tremendous otherwise. The crowd were so hot that last ten minutes.
Very much enjoying the Bloodline trying desperately to stay in character when Sami Uso has the mic in his hand.
Didn't take long for Bray's return to jump the shark. Uncle Howdy? Fucking Wurzel.
Is he feuding with himself?
Just seen that.
Swerve v Lil Bow Wow is seemingly in the works
Yeah that segment on Smackdown was great. Credit to Reigns for working his amusement into his bit too, while Jey kept thinking he'd got a hold of himself but had not.
It's also a good sign that the Bloodline stuff is back on track and good again (in no small part due to Sami) as evidenced by that proper crowd reaction when Jey said he doesn't care what Reigns thinks.
It seems AEW Rampage was a little wild last night. Shibata had a match and Mike Tyson commentated on it.
I'll be watching SAUDI BLOOD MONEY just because I like watching PPV's live at sensible hours.
What I don't get in the build up to Logan Paul v Reigns is the whole ONE LUCKY PUNCH thing they're going with for Logan Paul. A man who failed to beat a fellow Youtuber twice in a boxing match (one amateur one pro) and was carried to a draw by Floyd. He's never, at least professionally, knocked anyone out so to say he has one punch knockout power is a bit strange.
They’re hoping the Saudis don’t know the difference between him and his brother.
It's wrestling, it doesn't have to make sense.
It wont happen but Roman should squash him, no Bloodline interference and have him win by KO via Superman punch. They can then claim that Roman has more knockout power than Floyd.
Live WWE though, almost unbearable to watch already.
What a bullshit finish.
Watching a WWE show live.
I just watched Gunther (ugh) / Rey from Smackdown and it was, entirely predictably, very good. Would love to see them get a chance at making a proper PPV epic. I like that Gunther has a bunch of different ways to finish matches rather than one finisher and while it didn't look as impactful as they'd have hoped for I loved the idea of him yanking Rey off the ground by the arm just so he could clothesline him back down for the win. The corner powerbomb / rana spot was great too.
Bobby with a heel turn
But did you know he has metal in his hand?
It looks like something from Bo Selecta.
Shitty finish number 2.
Scarlett's outfit, phwoar.
I've never understood her or Kross either. He is duller than Orton in the ring and she seems to not know the lyrics to the theme despite having sung it herself. Either that or she's the worst lip syncer there is.
Kross is horrendous, he looks the part and has a good aura about him but fuck me is he boring.
When he signed for NXT and they pushed him to the moon it was awful.
And that was such a dumb match.
Is there anyone with worse taste in trousers than Boatman? He had the ones that made it look like he'd pissed himself and now these silly red santa trousers.
I've actually liked when Bray has been REAL TALKing in these promos but then "Uncle Howdy" comes along and I lose all interest.

Every time I see him this youtube lad is surprisingly good, he's not just being carried either because I saw him be good against The Miz as well.
Annoyingly (because he's a massive cunt) he's really good.
He is brilliant in the air.
Logan Paul is, annoyingly, a decent pro wrestler but they never, ever should try to position him as the de facto babyface again because he's just not remotely likeable.

He doesn't really have a character. Even David Arquette got that part of the business.
Bray Wyatt the person is terrific on the mic. He makes you listen. But I’m fucked if I know what he’s going on about.
Uncle Howdy is like something from Kevin Sullivan's Dungeon of Doom so I almost like it, as long as it just ends up being someone in costume battering him rather than a cinematic psyche match where Bray plays all five roles or whatever.
Logan Paul has a better look and better promos than most of the actual wrestlers these days and it seems he can work a better match than a lot of them. Is he great or is wrestling shit now?
Well since about 2010, Vince has tried his best to turn everyone he can into one certain style. Problem is then you end up with Generic Wrestler #42 v Generic Wrestler #17 all of the time.
There have been a few exceptions, but the guys who don't conform well(PAC, Rick O'Shea etc) to this change just get punted down or off the card. Triple H's NXT was the opposite if I remember correctly. Pretty much nothing special character wise, but the in-ring stuff was excellent.
It'll take time to get Vinces grubby little mits off everything.
Pretty crazy he worked half the match with one knee.
Do WWE women generally wear boiler suits or was it cos Saudi Arabians don't let women show flesh?
I'm a twit
Saudi I think. I was most upset Scarlett Bordeaux had too much skin covered. She’s outstanding to look at usually and actually overshadows Kross so he’s fucked if they ever divorce.
Saudi, even the refs had to wear an undershirt.
How are you guys watching Raw and Smackdown? I don’t have BT Sport so is there a decent highlights package that gets put out anywhere?
Just watch it on YouTube if you want highlights
