    You get some shows on NJ World so I've seen one or two but not enough to make sense of anything.

    Mooching about doling out F5s and German suplexes is about 50% of Brock's on-air time. (So about 10% of any given feud he's in.)

    Raw reunion has gotten me back into the Attitude era watching I was doing and I've decided to watch WCW alongside it.

    I've watched 3 episodes of Nitro now and it's weird that Big Show/Giant (who looks incredible) is constantly in mid-card squashes with the World Title. So far he's gone through Shark (I am not a fish), Ice Train and Scott Norton.

    Insane the amount of people across both companies who are now dead from that time.

    Boombox Brock is the best thing he's done in about three years.

    Some surprisingly positive reviews for Raw from last night but given one of those reviews was calling endless squashed for the Fridge Raiders a bad thing and this week had it as a tentative up and that this show also featured Rollins vs. Ziggler I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

    The reviewer I read gave it a 6.7 (I will watch it later) which is the best in at least a month.

    My takeaway from watching the 90s stuff was that it was just as shit as it is now but with better performers.

    I started at KOTR '96 due to the 3:16 speech and outside of Mankind/Taker, the early rumblings of Bret/Austin and Pillman's got a gun it's been a hard slog.

    WCW, in my so far limited experience, seems to be doing better. I can see why they won the ratings war for a good while as they had a much more clear vision (Just about to hit the nWo storyline) with some awful bits. WWF was trying to hit into the 'Attitude Era' but there was still a lot of leftover crap from the New Generation.

    Apparently 97 is a lot better.

    We had this conversation previously but there was a bit of resistance in the form of "Noooooo but Attitude Era "

    The main difference really is just the freedom for guys to try and get themselves over unlike now where somebody gets over in a way that wasn't scripted or intended by Vince / the writers so they get actively punished for it.

    Nice of Corey to give away the end of the Tag match before it even started. In talking about how a triple threat tag match works he mentioned how 'Luke Gallows could, for example, pin Jimmy Uso and win the titles. Erm... Or vice versa'.

    Just happened to be the exact pinning combo.

    He also called Seth the Universal champion so...

    It’s 2 out of 3 falls most of the time, but with a strange caveat. Most of the time there is a captain/team leader. If you pin/submit him then that counts as the first fall.

    However, if you instead pin or submit 1 of the other 2 members of the team you must pin or submit the other non-captain or the captain himself to pick up a fall. This is why often times you will see 2 simultaneous pin/submissions, because they need both those to get the first fall.

    Also, if you pin/submit the non-captain they can no longer be part of the round. Making it a 2 on 3 match, but only for the rest of the round. Once the next round starts, things are wiped clean and it goes back to 3 on 3.

    no wonder I didn't know what was happening

    It was better than most episodes of Raw and had two properly solid matches and a few things nudged in the right direction but I think the positivity I saw was mostly just it not being its usual car crash.

    The Raw tag title change is a good news / bad news situation.

    This Summerslam card is getting Wrestlemania-levels of no-build.

    Reigns / Bryan, Charlotte / Stratus and Ziggler / Goldberg () all added with bugger all time left.

    EDIT: Reigns / Bryan doesn't appear to be official yet, now I look again.

    It's also Ziggler/Miz.

    Although it's been rumored that it will be scrapped or Goldberg replacing Miz. Lol.

    Wonder if Bill will knock himself silly pre-match again.

    The headline I saw suggested Ziggler and Goldberg had actually been announced but it seems to be more Meltzer talk. So still a reasonable chance of a match that presumably literally nobody wants, or has ever wanted, to see.

    Of course Yano gets the first singles win in NJ over Nambrose. This G1 has been ridiculous in the best way possible.

    So in standard 'babyfaces are idiots' WWE writing Rollins wobbled down the ring to eat another beating from Bork without apparently having any plan for duffing him up other than hoping the chair he was using to lean on would be enough to give him the advantage.

    I can't imagine Bork losing the title this soon but it would be weird to bury Rollings this way just to have him lose. I don't really imagine any sort of shady finish either so I dunno what they're up to.

    Hopefully it’s a sign Heyman isn’t going to subscribe to the “this guy looks good on RAW.. gets owned on PPV” formula that has made 90% of matches predictable as fuck for ages.

    That would be a good thing to come out of it. Although he's not even laid a glove on him so it would be odd to have him be completely obliterated for the whole feud. We'll see.

    Raw has improved a bit since Heyman took charge.

    No, the only thing I considered it for was the AEW stuff and then I saw the prices and had a good lol before dismissing the idea.

    I assume AEW's presence on it is Vince's sole motivation for this because he'd rather dedicate his resources to hindering opposition than just beating it.

    Yeah this is classic Vince. It will only hurt the likes of ROH and the smaller indies who run free content.

    Fingers crossed he does himself serious damage with the XFL.

    Edit: MLW is worth a glance if you are looking for American content? Jacob Fatu who is Umaga's nephew is their champion and he is quality IMO.

    MLW is fun from the little bits I've seen, there's not enough time to watch everything though. NJ is unmissable right now and I'm keeping tabs on NXT and would like to see a bit of Dragongate, there just isn't enough time for much else.

    I can barely justify my current NJPW binge atm because it is on at Prime time. MLW, AEW and whatever indie match of the week is all I can manage without getting outed as a creep.

    I'd suggest no.

    Getting the Network for Takeover: Toronto though definitely.

    I didn't realise it was this Sunday. I might get it - if only to see if Ziggler tops HBK's selling against Hogan in 2005.

    I'm sure Takeover will deliver but this card looks as close to middling as I think they've had in a long time. I don't really need another Gargano / Cole 2/3 falls in my life though I'm sure it'll be decent, I'm not that into the Street Profits and as I'm starting to tire a little of Baszler's title run. Leaving the NA title match which is almost certainly going to be the match of the night and LeRae vs. Shirai which I'm just not especially invested in. On the plus side, unlike the main roster shows I imagine this will probably exceed my expectations.

    Summerslam may only end up with about two good matches. Bork / Rollins is gonna be a waste of everybody's time. Natalya is yawn. Bayley vs. Moon has had a crap build and will have no heat at all. Kofi vs. Keith should be at least alright but Keith barely moves these days if he can avoid it. Shane - lol, and the cunt will probably not get the obliterating he needs to get and they'll make KO look a plucky underdog. Wyatt has been feuding himself as Balor has barely been present. Goldberg / Ziggler is a match I'm not sure I could care less about. Stratus / Flair could be good but has also had a build that makes it difficult to care about and is probably going to need to be booked pretty carefully around Stratus.

    Leaving the US title match as the only one I'm going into thinking "Oh man, that should be good!" Which almost certainly means based on WWE's recent "dream match" form that it'll manage to be a disappointment.

    I'm interested to see how Bray wrestles. I'm wondering if he'll end up with a Mankind/Dude Love style character.

    He needs to do some different stuff in the ring, even if it's only the mannerisms and things that change. If THE FIEND just does the Bray Wyatt shtick then he's wasted his time.
