The Wrestling Topic

Not surprising with all the issues over the years topped off by an incident at an airport a couple weeks back.
 


Clip I took from the first Chicago tapings for Impact Wrestling. I heard Sami Callihan is a free agent now, but I'm hoping he has a role at the next BFG ppv.
 
I've been reading elsewhere how a lot of people hate Edge now for being in AEW.
 
Yeah it's pretty sad. Flip side a lot of people who have been hating Edge are now listing all the 'Dream matches' he can have in AEW and calling him what would be about the 47th game changer for the company.

Tribalism will never end lol. We are allowed to enjoy both, wish people weren't so dumb.

In other talent rumors...

FWIW I really do think it'd be intriguing to see him back, but Rollins (and I'm sure many others) have publicly said they do not want him around. Guy is still a draw, and had a good last match with Samoa Joe in AEW. He's just such a cancer that IDK if it'd even be worth the look.
 
NXT beating Dynamite in the ratings was a surprise.

NXT is probably the best weekly show at the moment in regards to actual wrestling so good to see it getting attention.
Using Becky and Dom has worked out great for them.
Next week, Cody and Cena....

Oh and Undertaker.
 
Edge coming to AEW isn't a huge deal IMO, we've seen in in WWE for years now up until recently so it's not like people had a chance to miss him. Just about everyone who leaves WWE and goes to AEW is in a worse spot than they were before. At least he got to keep his music I guess lol I just worry he'll get hurt with the clowns that work there.
 
I need to cancel my DVR from recording it, but then I won't have anything comedic left to watch thanks to the actors strike.
 
Unless he's paying AEW to be a part of their show, I don't understand the purpose.
 
It's becoming a crap version of TNA.

Wait for Goldberg and Hogan to show up.

Great opening package for War Games.
Solid opening match but Damage Control needed the win IMO. I know they are building to Baley being kicked out but I'm fed up of seeing her eat pins this year.

Gunther is simply great. Honestly only see 2 or 3 people who should beat him for the title and 2 of them are in NXT. He needs to be WHC within a year(though Priest or Drew should take it off Seth).

Lee's got a great future from the looks of it. Gets a polite response when he comes out but has the crowd fully behind him by the final bell. Match felt like it could have had another 5 minutes. Maybe cut one of 5 ads.

Without Big E I would really like them to try something new with Kofi and Woods.

Rhea has a banger of a theme tune. Good match but nothing special.

Mens match delivered as expected. Happy the Punk chants only happened in regards to this match. Had a feeling it could take over the event.
Though HHH has already used the have the final guy appear mid WG match twice now.
Saw the show had about 10 minutes left after the match which pretty much confirmed what was going to happen.
Let's just hope it doesn't end in a s***show. Though I doubt it will be allowed to be.

Pretty funny seeing twitter getting worked up by the videos of Seth. Everyone in the ring definitely knew he was coming out before hand.




Also nice to see HHH continues to acknowledge history and have Cole mention Y2J and Sting plus Cody helping create an event himself which would have been a no no 2 years ago.
Less than 3hr PPVs are always a nice surprise now days.
