I'm not sure I can tolerate months of Sammy/Chris feud segments.

as a fellow asthmatic and fan of asses and cheesy 80s sitcom-style theme music, I will always be a mark for Billy Gunn Gunn has gone way up in my book in the last ten years or so and my view of Road Dogg is in the absolute dirt. A nice balance.

They really should have just kept Keith Lee and Swerve as a team. They're ungodly good together and the tag division is worse without them

Doesn't help him that Gunther is killing it with the raw equivalent belt. That's probably not ultimately fair since Gunther has been more or less a top 10 talent in the world for the better half of a decade by now. Though to be clear, I have never entirely understood what people see in Theory in the ring, at least. He did well in that McAfee match but that was more just McAfee's vibe controlling the whole thing. Everything else is a situation where he's just the other guy in the match across a much more talented guy. You could essentially switch him out with a hundred indy guys and they would do about as well if not better ultimately.

Still hate the fact they basically had Ruby vs Britt booked two weeks in a row instead of using some of the banger Joshi talent they have, He could always just add a second women's match but I am told this is illegal in Tony TV land. Ah well, at least we got a good example of what Willow is capable of the last two days especially with her match against Giulia.

I’m glad he’s happy with what he’s doing but man IN MY OPINION Dean Ambrose was just so much better. I can in no way understand this. His last year or so in the WWE was SO bad, and even before then you had shit like JBL constantly calling him whacky or the Stone Cold buries him on a podcast for no reason or the Brock match, along with a ton of other stagnant runs. As for this, the dude loves to bleed sure but he doesn't really take anything that would be considered seriously dangerous like the Tiger Driver. I never see the harm in it and just am amused by stuff like this.

Some random NJPW thoughts...
-This company gets how good Willow is in ways Tony does not and it's only been 3 matches -I've been bored of Bullet Club basically since Kenny left (and probably even before then) but Kidd/Coughlin might be the most interesting thing they've done in a really long time. Connors/Moloney are much less interesting overall than them I think -Mox is a star all around the world

They've also got a PPV in 19 days and nothing really set up. I suppose Kingdom/Lucha Bros is but that's it. Eddie is in Japan so they can't do that rematch with Claudio, Athena has no active opponent she's feuding with, maybe you can run back Joe/Mark in a cage but they haven't interacted in months, the Embassy have clobbered everyone with no issue...what's the plan here

I've always liked Punk on commentary, no different so far here If Joe has any guts he would spill his diet soda

7 probably. Both MITBs were really solid but not all time or anything and I think not having LA Knight win was a huge mistake. Rest of the undercard was complete nothing besides the cool Cena appearance. Main event had a great ending but was unbelievably slow for a while.

Jim or Jey absolutely have to beat Roman for the title. I just cannot back a 3.5 year title reign ending to another member of this family instead of Cody or Sami or like Big E or something. Anybody but this family or Austin Theory for champ.

I like this rare WWE and AEW double header nights. So much better than when they go head-to-head sometimes. Speaking of should be fun when Collision does 17 viewers against SummerSlam. Is this match going to go over 2 hours?

This looks a lot better over a 3 minute package than 3 goddamn years of the title picture What you're saying is you want 3 more years of Shawn Michaels acting

I hope one day I can properly explain how hard I was laughing at WM Night 2 when "BROOD EDGE" went up on the screen after we all screamed and yelled for Russell Crowe to f*** off. The Pope's Exorcist > Mania night 2

Gunther won because he's the best wrestler in the company and elevates the IC title. Not sure why that would be controversial, why should he have lost? Because his reign's long entirely so it can be long and the Sheamus payoff is way the f*** overdue. Honestly I have no earthly clue why people insist, "Oh but Gunther's reign is different!" It's the same endlessly f***ing bloated chore heel misery reign bullshit that is infesting wrestling right now, it's just okay when he does it. "Year long title reign" and "shit title reign" are synonyms. I don't watch weekly WWE TV because I don't care about it, but I do actually seek out Gunther stuff because his matches are really good. And if his matches keep being good, then I'm fine with it. Sheamus hasn't really had anything I'd classify as interesting that didn't involve Gunther in like 5 years.

Because Sheamus never won the IC title and everyone wanted that to be his moment I think the resume stuff is so hollow. Sheamus has been a multiple time WWE champ, won a Rumble, won a MITB, won many tag titles, etc. Who cares if he hasn't won the IC title?

Yeah, people only hate Night 2 cause the Cody L which is understandable but I found it a fun night Even past Cody, you had the awful women's tag match, Edge / Balor being a limping chore to get through, the Miz / Shane / Snoop stuff, and Gunther and Bianca winning for no reason but LONG REIGNS ARE AUTOMATICALLY GOOD REIGNS. Gunther won because he's the best wrestler in the company and elevates the IC title. Not sure why that would be controversial, why should he have lost?

Cena already lost to Worse Grayson Waller, now he can lose to Better Austin Theory. This is mean as comparing Grayson to Theory is very unkind because Grayson is actually charismatic

Joe has a slight chance of winning if he will feud with Cole post Owen tournament(First Owen winner vs 2nd and current Owen winner). Punk/Joe vs MJF/Cole in the Blind tournament Finals would be really interesting. Ugh I really don't want Cole/Joe to feud. Their Owen match final last year kinda stunk, and Joe has so many more guys that fit his style to feud with. As for this show, not really a fan of Ethan Page as a worker (seemed like a super nice guy at comic con I was at and in his videos but he just never does anything in the ring for me at all), but nice for him to get a hometown moment.
