Yeeeeees, one of the best
One of the best wrestling games of all-time. Developed by the Japanese company "Technōs Japan". Although the graphics were a bit corny the gameplay was phenomenal. My wrestlers of choice to use in this game were the Road Warriors/Legion Of Doom.
I download everything so I'll watch it that way. I'm definitely not paying to watch it.
Nice
Pro Wrestler Megan Bayne
Is Goldberg describing the halftime show or his matches?
I swear I've never understood the hype behind the guy even back in the day.
He has a cool entrance and that's about it. He's the drizzling shits in the ring and can't cut a promo to save his life.
The Good And Bad of Dynamite ...
The Good
Jerry Jarrett Memoriam graphic at the start of the show.
Jim Ross/ Wardlow Sit-down Interview (This is essentially the rebuilding of Wardlow. I thought the interview did a good job of humanizing him in a way fans may not have seen before. We'll see where this goes though. )
Mark Briscoe vs. Josh Woods (Good match but what's the plan going forward for Mark. Is he going to get another tag team partner and defend the ROH Tag Team Championships or will the titles be vacated? He'll have a better chance getting pushed as a tag team wrestler than a singles wrestler. )
MJF/Christopher Daniels segment (I enjoyed this. Nothing more to say than that.)
Jamie Hayter (Wearing those skin tight black vinyl pants. WOW!)
The Bad
Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh And Sonjay Dutt vs Orange Cassidy, The Acclaimed And Billy Gunn (Why start off the show with this shit? The AEW Tag Team Championship is a joke now. What has become of a great tag team division? Putting the belts on the Gunns makes no sense. But, but, but The Acclaimed are gonna win the belts back at "Revolution". So what? That's not a pay-per-view caliber match. If anything the Acclaimed should've held on to the belts and then dropped them to Top Flight at "Revolution".
And again Jeff Jarrett getting TV time in 2023 makes no sense. Satnam Singh is a big guy who can't do shit in the ring. Jay Lethal is trapped in a faction that nobody gives a damn about and what exactly is Sonjay Dutt even doing? The match itself was whatever. TK please make this shit go away.
Jon Moxley And Claudio vs. RUSH And Prestin Vance (Putting Vance in "Los Ingobernables" has done absolutely nothing for him. He's still the same bland wrestler he's always been. RUSH on the other hand needs a singles push. He's fantastic. I've loved him since first seeing him back in ROH. Seeing Mox and Claudio tag together made me think of them having a tag team championship run in the future. Wouldn't be against it.
This match was meh. Sloppy with a few botches and went on way too long. Kudos to the fan in the audience who held up a sign that read "Botchamania" literally as Claudio completely misses hitting Vance in the head with a wrapped chain around his fist. Also Mox once again blading. They need to make a drinking game based on Mox's blading. It's seriously ridiculous at this point.)
"Jungle Boy" Jack Perry vs Brian Cage (Cage should've squashed Perry in under a minute but since TK doesn't know how to book big men against smaller men you get illogical shit like this. Perry has no business beating Cage.)
Hangman Page vs. Kip Sabian (YAWN! Kip Sabian sucks. I rather AR Fox get this spot over Sabian.)
Toni Storm vs. Ruby Soho vs Britt Baker (Why was this the main event? Crowd dead for this. Nobody cares. And you wonder why you're ratings are in the toilet.)
Overall this was a bad show. I really don't understand what TK is doing. His booking has gone from bad to worse.
- Why isn't Kenny Omega defending the IWGP United States Championship on the show? We want to see Kenny in singles action defending the belt not just doing Trios matches with the Bucks.
- Where are House Of Black? They appear for a show then disappear and never get any momentum going.
- You have a show in Laredo Texas with a heavy Hispanic fanbase and you don't have the Lucha Brothers wrestling on the show.
- Hikaru Shida should be on the show every fucking week. Turn her heel. P,ut her in the Yakuza white suit and create a Yakuza Joshi faction with Shida as the final boss. They should be doing some kill Bill shit with her. The story is right there to be told. Tell it damnit.

Am I the only one who thinks the Judgement Day would be better if Preist was a silent enforcer type i.e. Solo Sikoa?
He's decent enough in the ring but every time he speaks into a mic all I hear is the embodiment of the color green. You can practically see the cue cards he's reading from.
He should be a silent badass while Finn and Rhea do all the serious talking.

They're kinda a joke. You really can't take them serious with Dominic in the group but he does bring comedy during their segments.
Its FTR, they are returningto WWE
Some folks are speculating that it might be Omega. That would be REALLY hard for me to imagine Kenny in the WWE.
Are FTP a bigger major free agent than Jay White???
To casuals and WWE marks he's a nobody. To everybody else he's one of the best heels in the business.
Well stated. This is what happens when you take an indy fanboy mindset and try to apply it to a national (wanna-be global) promotion.
Yeah, you can pop a rating here and there and hotshot an angle, but it just doesn't work long-term.
Shots fired!
But we know who genuinely wants good wrestling and are unbiased Then those who are negative about anything none WWE related.
Fixed.
So you're confident that if someone came from NJPW they wouldn't get a solid pop? I think you're fooling yourself if you think he wouldn't be a draw.
The casual fan isn't so casual anymore with social media, forums, satelite radio and other forms of media fans are being exposed to more than just what's on TV. You get a reddit video of Stone Cold Steve Austin, it can take you down a reddit wrestling rabbit hole where you find out about these other promotions and wrestlers.
If Jay White showed up on Raw, he would get a lukewarm response.
NXT is the place where NJPW stars go once they come to WWE, so they can build their characters and get known here to WWE (wrestling) audiences.
He ain't drawing here, unless he is built to do so.
No one (outside of wrestling) knows who the fuck he is. Wrestling is niche, lolz at thinking Jay White will draw here.
I mean you keep upgrading the status of how much he'll draw! First it wasn't even a dime, now it's he'd get a lukewarm response. I didn't say fans would go ape shyt if he showed up. I was just disagreeing with you that he wouldn't draw a dime.
