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

[CaptainCrunch]

I think its clear that I'm a pretty big fan of woman's wrestling, because I love the energy of it.


That Kai vs Shayna match was a 4 star match tonight. I love what Shayna has done, and the people that trained her have given her that old school psychology. I have to admit that Duke and Shaffir just aren't very talented even in a limited role, they're just no good.


The other NXT woman to look at that's a bit out of the spotlight is Taynara Conti who's incredibly athletic as well.


That whole NXT thing is so cool because its almost got the small barn Stampede Wrestling/ECW feel.



Its almost like though they train them opposite of how things are done in the main roster spots.



Oh and I've been a huge fan of Tommaso Ciampa, part of that is his heel work, part of it was the video of his recovery, and part of it, is he's amazing.

Mox and omega went a bit far for me, just not interested in those types of matches

JR haaaaaaated it, my god, I thought he might leave the desk

MJF turn was perfect imo, I saw a bunch of people say they should have waited, but that's why timing was great. The guy who threw the drink was such an obvious plant . Cody is still a 3 star general but hes white hot right now so with the crowd his matches go up another level.

I liked the two different tag matches, lax and the bucks didnt do a spot fest just a solid match, which made the triple tag team so much better for it

It seems like they want to make hangman the next guy, but I dont see it, upper mid card imo, pac is much better and should be getting pushed

Also the aew womens division is its weakest part, they are really hurt by how much talent nxt has gobbled up, especially with nxt uk now too

They really need at least a big signing to center it around, ideally need 5+

Agreed, they have some interesting parts,



Riho just looks clumsy and unpolished in the ring.


The NXT Woman's division is awesome right now.

Umm what?

Hopefully we only need to suffer with this stupid storyline for another two weeks.

[Ozy_Flame]

That is Paul Heyman material right there, but quality that can only be described as classic amnesiac WWE tripe.

You just know

CM Punk officially back in the WWE, he joins the Backstage team on FS1. Paige and Renee lost their minds when he came out.

[CaptainCrunch]

I expected that was going to happen. Its easy to forgive when you're given a big check.

Personally I would love if this would bring AJ Lee back.

I did hear an interview with him shortly after he was rumored to audition and he said he hadn't talked to anyone from the WWE and that it was FOX who approached him wanting him to be their A-Rod but for WWE. He figured that WWE might put the kibosh on it and he told FOX he wouldn't try to #### all over the product just for the sake of it but he would be honest.

I won't be shocked at all though if he wrestles again. He did say he was open to returning but it would have to be under the right circumstances as he's no longer in a position where he has to take every opportunity he gets.

[CaptainCrunch]

I wonder if this isn't a fox panic move because the first episode attracted 50,000 viewers and smackdown ratings have been poor.

From Rajah.com

-- CM Punk's return to WWE Backstage was kept a secret from everyone on tonight's telecast except for Renee Young as a way to prevent any leaks from making it online. Punk's deal is strictly with FOX Sports (rather than with WWE) though WWE did obviously give their approval for his signing. The two sides had been working on the deal but only came to an official agreement within the last few days.

Jordan Myles just had another meltdown on Twitter and said he quit WWE. Now after complaining about his shirt that he approved he's calling his name that he came up with himself a "slave name".

The guy needs to stay off social media because not only will the WWE not want anything to do with him but other promotions won't want to deal with the potential headache. He went as far as to reveal company email addresses to the public.

There's something seriously wrong with him.

Fantastic backstage spot on AEW last night:

CM Punk is my all time favourite. I would regularly tune in if he becomes a part of the show. He is a great heel. Just a face people want to punch.

Orange Cassidy is such a treasure.

Jesus Christo, NXT is must see TV right now.


I have now seen one of the most ridiculous looking bumps in a ladder match in a looooog time.



In fact that whole woman's ladder match between IO and Mia was frankly ridiculous and brutal.
