It’s amazing how quickly he became entertaining again after being watered down from WWE creative the last two years. I like he abandoned the pause on the double-arm DDT. His promo on Joey Janela on ep.1 of “the Road to Fyter Fest” is so ****ing good. “He’s the Amazon Prime of head trauma”
Spoiler: NXT TakeOver: Toronto Card Looks like with the final TV tapings before SummerSlam it’s going to be: NXT Championship Adam Cole (c) vs Johnny Gargano NXT Women’s Championship Shayna Baszler (c) vs Mia Yim NXT North American Championship Velveteen Dream (c) vs Roderick Strong vs Pete Dunne NXT Tag Team Championship The Street Profits (c) vs Undisputed Era (O Reilly & Fish) Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain Kickoff Show/the pre-show TV episode stuff may be lo Shirai vs Candice LaRae, something with KUSHIDA, etc It’s great Killian Dain, Apollo Crews & Tyler Breeze are now back in NXT after getting lost in WWE creative. They are all great talents are way over in NXT and they have the opportunity to be showcased in great matches. I’m digging the evolution of Breeze’s character already and he’s still very young.
The build-up to the finishers is one of those WWE style things that drives me nuts. I guess it's supposed to build anticipation so the audience can pop for it, but a lot of times it just sucks the life out of the match while also looking stupid because the guy taking the move has to just sit there, sometimes for like a half a minute, so the guy doing the move can pose and make a face to the hard camera.
First confirmed matches from New Japan Pro’s G1 Climax 29: Night One in Dallas, TX 7.6.19 Kazuchika Okada vs Hiroshi Tanahashi Kota Ibushi vs KENTA Will Ospreay vs Lance Archer “King of Darkness” EVIL vs Bad Luck Fale SANADA vs Zack Sabre Jr. *All 30 minute time limits -Jyshin Thunder Lyger confirmed as appearing
and the smoke show Scarlett Bordeaux is off to make a Impact else where. Spoiler It hasn't even been a week and I miss her already. Hope she does well where ever she end up.
I guess it’s AEW. I mean if they want to get their TV ratings up higher. Plus, they might also get Killer Kross because of his relationship with Scarlett.
Scarlett seems like she would be a perfect Sunny like fit for the WWE. Not sure how well she would fit in AEW. Killer Kross may green and only know 3 moves but he has the it factor in just about every other category. Size, look, mic skills and charisma. I'm assuming he'll be gone after Slammiversary.
AEW will crown a Women’s Champion at All In. the winner of SCU vs Best Friends vs Private Party at Fyter Fest (guessing SCU) will face another team at All In for a first round bye in the Tag Team championship tournament that starts on their debut TV episode.
Impact looking like it will have a good show tonight Moose vs Dreamer Tessa vs Jake Crist Taya vs Su Young Eddie Edwards vs Madman Fulton Main Event - Rich Swann vs Johnny Impact, vs Michael Elgin all this and more tonight on Pursuit and Twitch 9 pm Houston time / 10 pm est
If she can go she’d fit in AEW. They’ve got a very competitive women’s roster too WWE’s that’s for the most part relatively unknown. Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, Kylie Ray, Bea Priestley, Sadie Gibbs, etc all have star power just need the spotlight on TV for people too become invested in their characters. They mostly just feature Brandi on their YouTube episodes with Kylie or Allie getting brief spots. They had zero story on anyone involved in the women’s matches at DorN leading in. Supposedly Tenille Dashwood (Evil Emma from WWE) is just a matter of time. Sasha Banks seems certain eventually. Would be cool if they could lock in some of the great talent from the Mae Young Classic that NXT didn’t sign..Meiko Satomoro, Mercedes Martinez, Priscilla Kelly (Darby Allin’s wife), etc
Tony Khan said last week on Austin's podcast that they're planning on eventually crowning women's tag-team champions, and featuring dedicated female teams. If he's serious about that, they're going to need to build up their women's roster quite a bit before it happens.
I don't watch MLW as much as I should, but they had a pretty good episode on this week. The Von Erichs debuted in a six-man tag match against Contra Unit, which then turned into a huge ringside brawl in which a bunch of non-wrestling personnel got beaten down, my favorite part being when Fatu punched the timekeeper to get him to quit ringing the bell.
AEW knocked another one out of the park. Glad they kept the face and heel entrance tunnels and the set and production was A+++ Every match was different but incredible!
