Wrestling - Part 3

Whey said:
Oh God, don't do that to anyone ha! But yeah, you're right with that about TK. I watch Dynamite as much as I can and it's messy. There's some good stuff on there but for me, the messiness overshadows it. I was class at champ man back in the day, I can definitely say I'd make a shite manager of an actual team.

I admire TK for wanting to do everything but without experience, it is what it is. Sapolsky was there as a free agent for a while and even Delirious from ROH could be used as a booker or consultant. Hasn't been the case. It's going to be what it is going forward and if you like that, fine, but I don't think many can deny it'd be better with someone who actually knew what they were doing in that role.

Think messiness is the right word to use
 

Lot of wrestling this week to watch you’ve got:
Dynamite
Impact
ROH
Smackdown go home show
Rampage
ROH Supercard of Honor
Impact Multiverse United (Inpact/NJPW)
TJPW LIVE in LA
Josh Barnettes Blood Sport 9 ( Kota Ibushi v Mike Bailey will be class)
Plus a load of indies
Both Mania nights

I’d say there’s something for everyone in all of that 😂 hell AEW have that reality show after Dynamite if your into that shite as well.

That New York show shaping up nicely
 
[Fightful Select] On Talent/Staff Thinking Vince Is More Involved
Per Fightful:
  • There have been more rewrites the day of the show than usual under the HHH regime recently
  • Strong indicators of characters/gimmicks being adjusted to a manner in which Vince McMahon had previously preferred
  • "Vince's office" sign being backstage nearly weekly
  • Also extensive creative laid out which was adjusted at the last minute.
  • In fact, the concerns are being so openly discussed that it isn’t just sources within WWE are talking. According to the report: “A lot of these concerns were so openly discussed that they ended up making their way to the AEW locker room as well.”
  • However it is worth noting that there is absolutely no confirmation at this point that Vince McMahon has been involved in creative beyond potentially giving input to Paul Levesque (Triple H)
  • “WWE reps have vehemently denied that McMahon is involved” with creative.
 
Rhodes is definitely winning isn’t he? They need to get a belt of Reigns but are they really going to take it off him? It’s been that long I still have this feeling he’s retaining.

You’d have to imagine that’s been the plan since he walked through the door, I’m sure I’ve read Reigns is having time off after Mania so they’d be fools to keep the belt(s) on him, both the belts should have been split ages ago especially if they want to persist with split brands.

Aye thats part of my thinking as well, Cody is definitely over but I don’t think the same momentum is there as he had before the injury. Probably the match I’m least looking forward to as well.

Yeh it’s got to be or they’d have changed the plan and dropped a belt to Zayn previously.
 
Gunther/Drew/Sheamus better be the banger we’re all hoping for like. I get more and more worried for this one the more I hear of Vince lurking.

There wasn't a chance Zayn was winning in Montreal, needed that extra heel heat.
The lack of obvious winner in the big matches is adding intrigue to them.

So here's the brief schedule -

NXT starts at 5pm BST.
WM Night 1 starts off with Cena v Theory at 1am, ends with Rhipley vs Flair
Night 2 starting with Lesnar vs Omos
 
Watched Vikingo v Taurus v Komander last night and it was probably one of the best Lucha multi man matches I’ve ever seen, Taurus is crazy underrated and should be signed to a bigger company than he is.

It’s going to be some race to sign Vikingo when his contract is up In AAA as there’s no chance they’ll be able to keep him, same goes for Komander.

Class seeing Kota Ibushi back in Bloodsport, looking forward to his match with Janela tonight, ROH should be a good one tonight anarl.

Nigel Mcguiness is back commentating on ROH, good to see.

Yeah Komander v Vikingo was absolutely class, probably the best match I’ve seen this werk so far.
Happy to see McGuinness brought in (permanent or not), him and Ranallo were both class in black & gold NXT

Komander and Vikingo was absolutely class, just watch it

Surprised they kept the trios titles on The Embassy with Cages contract up, he’s either renewed or they are dropping them at the next tapings

Athena is class mind, should be on Dynamite more than she is, hopefully they insert her into the originals v outcast storyline

Very clever how they had the Briscoe kids sitting front row with on obvious mic next to them adding some more emotion to the match, think it was the right choice to keep Joe as Champion (build the brand) and have Mark have a redemption arc and eventually win the main title

Garcia doing Nakumura’s pose against Tanahashi was class😂😂
Tanahashi lost his front teeth biting into an apple before the show as well 😂

That ladder match was wild, Dante legit snapped his ankle at the end as well, poor fucker, hopefully he can come back stronger, him and his brother have had no luck mind

Guess they are going to put some top talent on ROH for a good while just to get it set, with Joe, Athena, Lucha bros and either Kingston or Claudio as champs

Always a treat watching Shibata, he’s beating the shit out of Yuta 😂 HOLY FUCK TK THE MADMAN DID IT! Buzzing for Shibata

Before this match even starts, I’m all for Kingston winning this just so BCC go even more crazy in their heel turn, was hoping for Claudio to drop the title but that was a great match

Overall very good show, every match got a good amount of time too.
Pity we couldn’t get Takeshita v Ospreay because of Ospreays injury would have been fantastic.
