The WRASSLIN’ Thread

[Checker_the_Shire]

I decided to check out Evolution and the Triple threat between Bayley, Becky Lynch and Lyra was PLE/PPV worthy to start the show.

That pin was really cool looking live but when they slowed it down it wasn't as pretty. Sure was cool full speed though. That leg drop thing Lyra did on them both while they were standing was nice. Baily took it like a champ

I’m watching it because my daughter really wanted to, which honestly is pretty cool. Having said that, I’m glad we did because the Becky match was awesome! Lots of really cool take downs and hits, it was highly entertaining.

It was a really good show imo

Cool to see Noami cash in MITB in the Main Event. I definitely didn't expect that. A better show than I would've expected. I could see them doing another soon.

Damn, I hate this because I really like Rollins. And, selfishly, the storyline with him and his stable was the only one I was invested in.

I heard the Rollins injury angle on snme was a work to cover up an injury he had suffered recently. He was trying to work through it, but it was clear he was going to need some work done. It doesn't sound as serious as they are making it out and the whole point of writing him off TV was to get the quick work done on whatever injury was nagging him, and to get it established that he would be on crutches by summerslam.

On Adam Cole, yeah another concussion. We may not see him wrestle again for several years if at all from the way it sounds.

I thought SNME was pretty much hot garbage.

I thought Evolution was fantastic. Particularly the main event. That was an incredible match.

Watching RAW now. Been pretty good except the mess that was Nikki Bella vs. Chelsea Green.

The gauntlet match was good. But it was kind of silly.

Man, you are right about the run ins. It's ridiculous. Been interference in every match except Bayley and Lyra.

Pretty good start to SummerSlam build though

Wouldn't have thought Reigns would come back in Birmingham though lol.

 

[chavisut]

Goodness All In was absolutely incredible. The triple main event matches were great and near perfect storytelling.

I’m so glad AEW exists.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Decent episode of Raw tonight. Not great, not terrible, still entertaining.

Reigns returning was great, but overshadowed by the fact that Rollins being out makes his return not as exciting. Do we really care about him beefing with Breaker and Reed? Because I don’t.

That said, it also means he was definitely going to return on SNME, and my guess is it was going to be him stopping Rollins from cashing in, which would have been way more exciting.

However, I am excited about Punk and Gunther, I think that will be a fun feud. I’m also curious to see if they put the belt on Punk and how long he gets a run.

Death-riders angle started off poorly but they corrected it and it led to a great story. My man Darby cut a promo on Mt. Everest and will finish them off at Blood and Guts.

Now is the time for Mone to start dropping belts. The Casino Gauntlet match really showcased how far that women’s division has come.

Great for Dustin, but Kyle Fletcher needs a belt asap.

One last Edge (Copeland) and Christian run? LFG

Hurt Syndicate v FTR will be an interesting dynamic.

 

[chavisut]

Jojo Offerman is the best they could get?

I didn’t realize she was Bray Wyatt’s wife. Had fireflies behind her on the screen. Whatever you say about Tony Khan, the guy loves and respects wrestling.

 

[headhunter15]

Cornette will have a field day.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Really cool venue for Dynamite tonight.

So, does anyone have Triller TV+? Was looking at it today and they have a metric ton of indie wrestling on there.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Great Dynamite. Darby was looking like Sting in the rafters tonight. Which is almost as epic as cutting a promo from the top of Everest.

That’s how you do a post PPV show.

The Bucks being laid low was really entertaining. They'll fit right in with Callis though.

I can't wait for Swerve vs Okada.

I did think it was interesting that Hanger left Hook put of his thank yous.

Ospreay's situation is puzzling. I'm not sure why they'd want to write him off TV. Joe has to do promotion for Twisted Metal. But I have no idea what they are going to do with Will.

I assume they're just giving him a break. He still flies back and forth all the time as far as I know.

Swerve v Okada? Yes, please.

Sounds like Ospreay taking time off to recover. Forbidden Door is around the corner and not all the matches for that event need a big story. He could show up 1-2 weeks before and it would still work.

I fell asleep. Tried to watch Dynamite, but I didn't start it until about 11. All I remember is the start of the Fletcher/Mascara Dorada match. We binged several episodes of Resident Alien before that lol. That show cracks me up.

Sounds like it was a good show. Going to watch it in a little bit.

Definitely watch that Fletcher match.

I quote that show all the time.
