You knew it was only gonna be a matter of time.
Guess all the people HHH brought back packing their gear up...
Sean Ross Sapp is the worst.
"This week, a WWE talent reached out and told me they believed Vince McMahon was back in creative. I couldn't get it confirmed at all, but on today's http://FightfulSelect.com List Goes On (4 PM EST), I'll discuss what they told me."
Manami would do shit like this on a regular basis in her matches. She really spoiled my ass in the '90s.
Could Moxley go just a month worth of shows without fucking bleeding? The shit is ridiculous and played out. Maybe going heel will keep his fingers off the razor blade
The Good And Bad of Dynamite ...
The Good
Orange Cassidy vs. Wheeler Yuta (This was a solid opener. Nice fast pace match with some good counters. Excellent near falls as well. Cassidy retains. Would like to see Cassidy defend the belt in New Japan or AAA. What's the point in having what's essentially an international belt if it's not defended outside the United States?)
Bryan Danielson/MJF segment (Absolute gold! MJF is God tier on the mic! Now I'm hyped to see this match at "Revolution".)
Battle Royale (I usually hate Battle royales but this one was actually entertaining. I'm still scratching my head on why Lethal and Jarrett are getting pushed so hard but the match was good.)
Jon Moxley vs. Evil Uno (For some reason I enjoyed this. One thing I'll never criticize Evil Uno on is his work. He may look like shit and have a corny gimmick but he's always been a good worker. Right when you thought Moxley was going to get through a match without blading here comes Hangman to open him up. Haha! It never fails.)
The Bad
Ricky Starks/Chris Jericho segment (This basically set up the Jericho/Starks match for "Revolution" in a segment that ran too long for my tastes. Plus nothing feels fresh about this feud.)
Lee Moriarty And Big Bill vs. The Acclaimed (The Acclaimed are good workers but I hate all the shenanigans in their matches.)
Christian Cage/Jungle Boy segment (Why is this feud still happening? Yawn!)
Saraya vs. Skye Blue (About what I expected; Another stinker. Skye Blue's work has improved but Saraya is hot trash in the ring and now she's going to be in a three-way at "Revolution" with Ruby Soho and Jamie Hayter. Sheesh.)
The Tony Khan Announcement (A behind the scenes show called "AEW All Access". Meh. Unless it's behind the scenes of Jade fresh out the shower who gives a damn? Enough with the announcements.)
Overall this was a better show than last week but that's not saying much. TK has got to book better shows.

Lol!
LOL, the "source" is one talent who "believes" Vince is back in control. Oh, okay...
Sounds about as credible as Meltzer's "sources".
Also from this guy in the same tweet. Sounds like fake news to me
Let's gooooo!
Translation, views are low and I need something out there that gets views back up.
Lolz their paths will cross again...in WWE lolz
It would be a missed opportunity if she wasn't on the card. Although I would like for her to wrestle Shida or Hayter she'll probably be wrestling Britt Baker.
I guess TK's announcement worked. That show last night was lackluster at best.
I love me some AZM. This match is intriguing to me for various reasons. One being this will be Mercedes's first match in Japan so the pressure will be on for her to have a great match. Secondly because of the smoothness and high speed style that AZM wrestles. Mercedes is going have to up her conditioning and work on her move transitions. KAIRI was willing to meet her half way. I'm not so sure AZM is willing to do that. Looking forward to it though.

Kenny was out for nine months so we'll revisit this in October. If TK is smart he'll get Kenny extended before it even gets to October.

About right. The match had fantastic storytelling and an electric crowd but the actual in ring stuff was basic/average. 4.75 stars is plenty generous.
Lol
I've had a personal gripe about Roman for a long time with how they book his matches. The drama is there. The character work is there. The overall atmosphere is there when it's match time. But it's just brawling and then finisher spamming and close pin falls. And not to mention spamming of the Superman punch and the Spear. But this the Paul Heyman philosophy. Accentuate the positives and hide the negatives.
When your character is over and the storyline is over, like both Roman and Sami are and this Bloodline storyline is, you don't have to do a bunch of "Meltzer drivers blah blah blah", dives and other nonsensical gymnastic-looking moves to get the audience engaged.
That match with Roman and Sami deserved to be a 5-star match based on the story being told, characters and crowd atmosphere alone.
They went almost 5 minutes at the beginning of the match without even touching and the crowd was still hot.
Julia Hart in the House of Blacked
Exactly and that's why when it's all set and done Roman's matches won't be remembered in the same way like Undertaker, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, HBK, Mick Foley etc. People will remember he had a long ass title reign but what memorable matches came out of it? It would NEVER happen but I would be intrigued to see what Roman could do in the ring outside of the WWE bubble. Is Heyman really holding him back? A question to ponder.
