Yeah, they're still one of the top-drawing shows on cable each week. The card last night didn't really have a tonne of star-power either. Not saying it would have won H2H regardless, but I only watched because I'm injured and can't go to the gym in the evenings right now.

That said, it ended up being a pretty entertaining episode.

Hope this doesn’t break the rules… Was gonna see if anyone is interested in a ticket to Survivor Series? Me and two buddies were supposed to go, one dropped out. Lower bowl seat, just looking for what I paid.

My one buddy and I are flying in the YVR in the morning, going to War Games and flying back that night. (Flights with Flair and WJ were about $150 total).

DM me if anyone is interested

Wait does that mean that we can put you on injured reserve and use the extra CalgaryPuck Cap Space at the trade deadline?

Probably. Grade 2 shoulder strain if the league comes calling.

I see AEW is doing their best to set women's wrestling back 20 years.



I'm all for it, but I don't know if it's something they should be doing. Feels straight out of the Attitude Era.

Feels more like the last few months of the Attitude era, when WCW would parade Stacey Keibler out for no other reason by to do a strip tease.

It's a one off promo from a crazy woman towards a woman who's gimmick in Japan is her breasts. I don't really think it's setting women's wrestling back. If they continue on with it and push it throughout the rest of the division, sure, but if you understand the characters, it's pretty funny.

Thoughts on Bronson Reed joining the bloodline?

Kind of fizzles for me personally.

Forcing the 5th member was a bit of a waste.

But the whole story right now is a vehicle to getting the Rock to return and Rock vs Roman - so we will see what happens.

Solo and all of them dressing like 90s heel Rock (black turtle neck and gold chains) has been obvious since day 1.

I like bringing Bronson Reed in, makes Seth really likely to join the fight.

I agree tho, The Rock will be the man behind the scenes leading to a Roman vs Rock showdown at the Rumble or Wrestlemania

People have no idea. Harley is a future star IMHO. Her work has been great as a character and her in ring is getting better with time.

I'm really pulling for Chelsea Green. She deserves it and I think it would be so much fun, even if its a bit of a quicker run.

That said, I suspect it will go to someone like Naomi, or even Michin, as the WWE might want to get a babyface a title on the women's side.

Praying its not Bianca or Jade. I feel like WWE stapling those two together has made both of them completely hateable. Hopefully they split them up soon, but for now i cant see WWE giving them a title while they hold tag titles.

Bianca and Jade will be a WM match.

Chelsea Green is amazing, IMO. She makes the friggin' most of every single minute she is given. She's so much more memorable than all the other mid-carders around her that do less with their time. Chelsea should get a title run IMO.

I see Bailey winning the womens US championship, they will want to put it on a notable worker to carry it until the Rumble or WM

I'm such a big fan of her's because she's an amazing character that can work.


Even her time in TNA was really good.


I'm not saying they need to strap a rocket to her, but they need to strap a rocket to her.

Bailey is great, but I liked her better as a heel.


I keep thinking that we're going to get a surprise in that tournment, but I can't see them wasting a return like Becky, or Charlotte or Bliss on it. The US title should be like the Intercontinental Championship and go to the best worker that they're thinking of putting the World title on.

I could see it being Bianca.

Good worker that legitimizes the belt.

And I think they could use it as a tool in the eventually fued between Bianca/Jade.

Bianca wins the singles title which creates jealously, Bianca and Jade lose the tag titles which adds more frustration, Jade ends up costing Bianca the U.S. Title and then you have your WM match between the two of them.
