The WRASSLIN’ Thread

Where I had some free time last night and DVR the shows I watch and watch them later, I got around to watching Impact and Smackdown. I pretty much only watched Smackdown because of the draft. Pretty much all the factions stayed together on whatever shows they were on. Some people were brought up from NXT to the main roster. That was refreshing. Cody stayed on RAW and Roman goes to Smackdown so who knows where that storyline is going....Great to see AJ Styles back with the OC after the broken ankle.While he's getting up in age,Ive always found him entertaining.

Impact was really good. Started out with a solid match with the Knockouts. Masha Slamavich and Jordynne Grace pulled out all the stops. Not real crazy about Maclins first feud as champion against PCO ,but it looks like a filler feud. While the tag division is lacking a little, Ace Austin and Chris Bey look great as champs. They had a lot on emphasis on the Knockouts division this episode with three matches and Naomi /Trinity Fatu making her debut next week. Taylor Wilde and Deonna Purrazzo had a good match for the Knockouts title. I will say that the Knockouts division is looking the best it has in years. A lot of good signings and talent. I didn't have to fast forward through much which was nice.

I don't get this. That's probably one of my criticisms of AEW outside of there lack of focus on there women's division. It's that there tends to be a lack of focus on a roster that some talent seems to slip through the cracks. Maybe with the additional shows, that will help that problem and give more opportunities to a pretty big roster.

I've noticed that big guys tend to fall through the cracks. I think it is where AEW has had a generally smaller roster, they have trouble booking them. I'm hoping that will change in the near future as they have signed more big guys. But the folks that jump to mind for me as underutilized are, Miro, Archer, Brian Cage, Big Bill, Keith Lee, all big dudes. There for a while, Billy gun was the bigget guy on the roster. He's mid size in WWE. Even Archer couldn't really do the monster angle in WWE the way he does in AEW or NJPW.

Watching RAW for the first time in a while.

These commentators are so annoying. They are doing the draft thing... And it's like for EVERY pick they're like "oh my god! That's an incredible pick for Smackdown! " "That's an AMAZING pick for RAW!" wtf? It's just the same people being moved around. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. And I know nobody did.

And I still can't stand Matt Riddle.

Enjoying the continuing saga of the Usos and Sami & Kevin.

Also enjoying the Brock/Cody stuff, but that about it.

Sikoa vs. Rollins doesn't sound like it will be very good, but I will give it a chance.

Otherwise just an annoying show.

I'll probably watch Backlash since it's free and to see what happens with Cody and Brock. Want to see if they continue to bury Cody.

Lol glad I'm not the only one who noticed how much they hype up these draft picks,and how over the top it is. In a month, it's right back to the same old song and dance. Plus,it doesn't matter if you don't use them right. I'll have to check it out later tonight. Yeah, outside of Cody and Brock,most of the matches are filler for Backlash.

I don't know. Maybe she looks more like a real woman to me. Like , look at Zelina Vega. Yeah she looks good - great body, pretty - but it just... looks... fake. I always had a thing for Molly Holly too, it was good to see her tonight.

Also... I am enjoying Dominik. He is playing it up very well. People freaking despise him. But I get what he is doing and it is really good.

Still blows my mind to see Rey performing at that level.

I mean she's a bad@$$ metal chick. What's not to love?

Dominik is great. I get Eddie vibes off of him every time I watch. Wouldn't have called that when he first started out tagging with his dad.

Are they going to have Rollins beat Reigns? Is that what i see building?

Then Cody will make it 4 in a row over Rollins to finish his story? All because Cody actually hates Rollins? Is that is what is going on?

Dynamite is pretty good. That trios rumble felt a little too planned. I knew the acclaimed were going to win and each team went out in the order i thought they would except for lucha bros.

Man. They really killed Wardlow's momentum in my opinion. It's not the same anymore for him. Can't really put my finger on it.

Excited for Starks and Juice.

Pretty good show. Starks vs. Juice was great. Just wish it was a longer match. Can't wait for Starks vs. White too.

Main event went about like I thought it would, but my ending was that Sammy would get fed up with mjf and give him a gth and leave him for jb or darby to pin.

Good show though.
