And I absolutely love it!

I thought Okada was going to follow the Shinsuke playbook and move to America for a nice paycheck while getting paid millions to just sorta be a middling contender for belts whenever a promo needed to kill time between events but I apparently was wrong because the dude is following the Tozawa playbook instead.
I sincerely hope Heenan is smiling down from heaven knowing in his 50 year crusade against you know who he was proven to be the good guy once again.
Were I the type to attend a live event, I would take a "Heenan was right" sign with me.

If you don't hit a Space Flying Tiger Drop, I'm not interested.

probably not HHH’s fault that the dude Bobby was supposed to wrestle at Mania caught COVID like a week before it and died so they just gave him the Battle Royale win as a consolation. Plus Lashley was sneakily like the oldest guy on the active roster. It is HHH‘s fault that he wound up in a faction with the Street Prophets and in a feud with Karrion Kross for like three months in a row though.
A feud that he inexplicably lost, even though Kross is an absolute heat sink with negative charisma, who couldn't even get X-Pac heat, and can't wrestle his way out of a paper bag.

I have been watching Maven's youtube channel a lot, and the guy has a wonderful speaking voice, and should at least be a co-commentator. I like him better than Booker-T even though he has a spot on Macho Man impersonation. Maven has one of those voices that you don't let go to pot, and the WWE would be stupid not to at least try him out.

Windham Lawrence Rotunda is somewhere up there smiling at Taylor Michael Rotunda.

Every single week I get chills. The way he hit Sister Abigail, the pop for the initial grab then the move, Gable’s sell, the pose after.
I had high hopes for this because you knew how much this meant to Taylor behind the screen, and he’s blowing away even my high expectations.

The pop for Sister Abigail was something most of the others on the roster will never get to experience in their professional wrestling careers, at any level.
I want to be diplomatic about all this, so I'mma just say that I'm glad that the people who the Wyatt6 stuff is for are getting their lives to it.
I haven't super followed it, I liked this idea that it's all about love and they were targeting people that were bad partners/bad friends. Gable seems to have been the worst offender and has been singled out since the first attack. But I don't know, these stories have a very short shelf life for me. I loved the undertaker for 2-3 years and then spent the next 20 wishing him off screen.
I'm hopeful it will turn into a cool mode for the 2K games though.

I mean, if it were a comic book or a graphic novel, I'd probably really like it. But, as far as wrasslin' goes, it's not for me, Clive. And it's nothing personal against Bo, or anyone else involved. But I'm a workrate mark, almost to the point of being a workrate snob: I don't really care about none of this stuff, if you can't go when the bell rings. If this doesn't pay off with some great matches, it's going to be sunk cost, to me.

So much for diplomacy.
I like a good story in the ring, workrate is a small part of that. A good 80s/90s workrate is to my taste, the modern spotfest is a bit over the top.
Not saying the Wyatt stuff is either. Like I said, at this point I'm not following it closely. I just hope it tells its story without dragging out forever.

It’s so on brand for TNA to have this white-hot guy currently transcending across wrestling fandom under contract … and they gave their title to Dolph Ziggler. Lol
I like Jesse.

I mean, I know why they were a heel faction for the last three years but Iyo and Kairi have always worked better as faces going back to their Japan days and Kota cried on a stream about not getting opportunities which is solid face stuff so I’m glad it seems like a face turn is finally where they’re going.
