Official WWE/ECW/WCW/TNA talk, or whatever v2

And yeah Jericho took his blade out too early and had to hold it in his hand for a couple minutes in the arm bar. Camera of course picks it up clear as day.

That was on purpose, it wasn't just any arm bar, its was the Saskatoon arm bar, and he was trying to transition to the mossy credenza.


AEW really does need to improve its camera crews and production staff. If they were raiding WWE for anything it should be that. And grabbing their old theme writer.

Yeah, or just have TK keep buying the rights to various music as he's done with Jurassic Express and Orange Cassidy.

So apparently Blood and Guts was the #1 show on cable in the 18-49 demo. Hopefully the ending didn't scare too many of those viewers away going forward.

I hope they really grab this momentum and run into DoN

The next 3 dynamites need to really build to that. It should have a monster card, treat it like their wrestlemania

Dailys place is full capacity for it too, so its gonna sound great with I think 6000 people

Both are just phenomenal choices

The Pixies is a good choice but Orange Cassidy used to have Jane by Jefferson Starship as his entrance theme on the indies and I can't seem to shake that out of my head.

I also miss him coming out with his championship belts in a backpack. That was sweet

Revolution is their Wrestlemania, but I agree. The card hasn't had much build so far, but I'm hoping they pour everything into the next 3 weeks. Next week's Dynamite is a fairly loaded episode.

DoN card should look something like:

Omega vs. OC
Mox/Kingston vs. Bucks
Shida vs. Britt
Miro vs. Kip
Sammy vs. MJF
Christian vs. Brian Cage
Darby/Sting vs. Scorpio Sky/Ethan Page
Cody vs. Ogogo

Gotta think Hangman gets on there somehow, too, but he doesn't really have a storyline at the moment.

[CaptainCrunch]

Just an FYI the first dark side of the ring of season 3 dropped on Crave and documents Brian Pillman. Its a double edged watch, on one hand you marvel at the creation and execution of the Loose Cannon gimick. On the other hand that whole family was a tragedy that Pillman left in ruins.



But its a must watch.

Ya that looks like a great card

Has to be OC vs Kenny, PAC is the better match in future, but they've already done it once, and with the full crowd at daillys place, has to be OC

My guess with hangman is they always do some kind of battle royal or ladder for a future championship opportunity.

Just watched the Brian Pillman DSOTR episode last night. Great watch, tragic outcome all around for his whole family. Any time I watch documentaries and get to re-live wrestling from the 90's I get taken on a nostalgia ride. Brian was so far ahead of the times. It's a shame he had his accident. i wonder how the whole loose cannon gimmick would have played out had he been fully healthy and able to run with it 100%. What a time to be a wrestling fan. Makes me miss WCW, ECW, and WWF even more.

I was really saddened by it, I remember watching Pillman here, he carried Bruce's tired old ridiculous looking ginnick. The matching of the Hollywood Blondes was really awesome to see.


Melanie really did come out looking like a cold hearted piece of work in this thing, and that's the saddest thing of all. The loose cannon gimmick was based on a book called the Big Con, I forget the author.



I don't know if it would work as well with the smart marks and internet today.

[CaptainCrunch]

Right now I think that Raw is off of my watch list for a while. Its just a mess of a show.



And the big return in their go home show, Jindar Mahal returns.

[LIP MAN]

Dynamite had some solid matches and build up. They’ve amped up the main events lately which has been great.

[trackercowe]

I turned it off after the Bucks started selling Christianity... Sorry I couldn't keep going after that. Too bad since I like Miro and Darby.

[CaptainCrunch]

OC got caught hard, a couple of times, he was out on the super kick to the face, the ref needs to do a better job of recognizing.

'I'm sorry I love you' was peak ####housery heel work by the bucks

Ya, I saw some people saying it was the powerbomb, but he was out before that, the way his body folded wasn't someone at full capacity

[CaptainCrunch]

He was out on the kick, the powerbomb was stupid, and you could see his head and neck hitting the mat. That's on the referee, I know OC is good at selling, but that wasn't selling, his lights were out.

May have been better wrestlers in ECW, but no one was more entertaining.
