They are definitely gone after their contracts.



That sucks, especially since they are at the end of them... How long can this drag out for?

Thoughts on Dynamite ...

Wardlow vs. Shaun Spears: Loved the storytelling In this one. Wardlow emerging behind Spears as he got to his feet was beautifully shot. MJF played the asshole ref role to perfection. The accidental unprotected chair shot that Spears delivered to MJF was brutal. Got to get rid of unprotected chair shots. Overall this match cemented Wardlow as a star and he should be pushed in the main event scene from here on out.

Hangman Page/CM Punk segment: Liked what I saw here. Great mic work from Hangman. He's really starting to come into his own. This match could go either way. Very unpredictable. Does TK give it to Punk here or wait? Page is starting groove as the champ so maybe he keeps it on him a little longer.


Eddie Kingston/Jon Moxley vs. Private Party: Okay match. Nothing special.


Roppongi Vice va. FTR: Great stuff from all involved and I loved "United Empire" breaking up the match. Good to see Jeff Cobb back in AEW. Looks like they're starting to build for the AEW/NJPW Supershow. There's a strong possibility that Kazuchika Okada might show up at "Double Or Nothing". I'll mark out hard if that happens.


Swerve Strickland vs. Ricky Starks vs. Jungle Boy: Swerve came off great in this match. Glad he got the win.


Thunder Rosa promo: This was a better promo from Rosa but she's still not great on the mic. Despite this she should have an excellent match with Serena at "Double Or Nothing". The match quality will definitely be there.


Britt Baker vs. Toni Storm: Britt sucks so bad in the ring. She drags down the quality of anybody that works with her. Outside of her lights out match with Thunder Rosa her work is piss poor. It's a shame too because Toni has actually been having some good matches and deserved to go over here.

Kylie O'Reilly vs. Samoa Joe: Great main event. KOR is definitely underrated. Joe going over was the right call setting up the finals against Adam Cole.

Overall good go home show for the ppv this Sunday.

Joe better win that match vs cole


Cliff Notes?


He should just take the rest of the year off and allow everything to heal naturally. Don't Force and rush the process.
Agreed! He's by far my favorite wrestler after Roman today...
 

I like Colt Cabana but he wasn't really doing shit before Punk showed up. He joined The Dark Order and was just along for the ride. Seemed like they were going to do something when it seemed like Brodie Lee was targeting him but his sad and unfortunate death ended wherever that was going if it was headed somewhere.
 
Kota still got heat for them..

Something about his mother, but he said he will speak more about it soon.

His mother attempted suicide after he told her he got reprimanded for breaching his contract with New Japan. Honor and saving face is a big deal in Japan. Kota has nobody to blame but himself. He's the one that breached the contract.

I thought he said that he went to a program the higher ups stated he could go, but one person was like fuck that and tried to bully kota...

Kota never got the okay from President Takami Ohbari to do the show. Once Ohbari found out that Kota did the show he met with him personally and Kota explained that he acted on an impulse decision by going to the show and apologized. Ohbari basically gave Kota a warning and that was that.

Weeks later a New Japan staff member who Kota knew personally started arguing with him in a text message because he thought Kota purposely went to that show in an effort to get fired and get out of his contract. Around this same time Kota's mother attempted suicide so Kota said fuck it and that's when he screenshot and posted the text message exchange online.

Once Ohbari found out about all of this he apologized to Kota for the actions of that staff member and that member was reprimanded. Didn't say if he fired him or not. So at this point the situation has been handled.
 
Work or no work, it's not a good look.

Work - You don't wanna do a work that actually disappoints the fans by wasting their time and money. He gets pretty good heat just being in character and he's already the biggest heel in the company.

Shoot - He makes himself look risky and if he somehow ends up in WWE and pulls a stunt like that, he could potentially Lio Rush himself.
