To think Dave Meltzer was calling Owens out for being a sellout because he couldn’t go to AEW for as much money. The guy’s headlined WrestleMania against Steve Austin and seems to be having a blast.

Tom Guycott
09-26-2022, 11:56 PM
Did they pretend Tensai was a different person or did they just not acknowledge his past? There is a slight difference.

I don't think Matt Bloom was intentionally trying to work people online at the time for the sake of holding up kayfabe, it seemed more like he was instructed to be like "nah, that's not me, I have no plans to go back to WWE" even when he was actively on TV. And it was a little farther than just not acknowledging the man had obviously been in the company before. I think at one point they really tried to have Cole sit there and sell the lie of him being a "brand new superstar".

If they tried harder, like maybe sticking a mask on him instead of the Hakushi kanji body paint, it might have worked. Instead, it was more like all the current bullshit with Elias/Ezekiel where he just shaved and is supposed to be his own sibling. It's almost the polar opposite of the fake Razor and Diesel. And oh yeah, there was the fake Razor and Diesel.

Original point being, if WWE does all that presentation and it turns out to not only NOT be Bray Wyatt even with all the signs pointing to it, but does indeed mean someone like Edge, it would not surprise me in the least.

The "a lot for a little" statement is true, but would not be surprising from WWE if that ended up being the payoff. That would be akin to actually being shocked you were disappointed in "next week's big surprise" in TNA every time it happened... because that "big surprise" was nearly always guaranteed to not be worth the "world changing" hype they were giving it.

As silly as it sounds, I want them to acknowledge Dominick as a title in and of himself, and use that internet "belt" history of his custody. WWE has done worse.

I said this a few months ago, and thinking back on it along with fairly recent events, I think it's safe to say Rhea Ripley is the current titleholder, and her championship history should include "custody of Dominick".

I mean, it doesn't have to. The two belts were pretty equal for the first few years of the split. They just decided for some reason that the heavyweight title was the new IC title at some point.

Im not arguing against one champion, as its clearly better, but it might be out of their hands as the networks aren't a big fan of it.

But they've proven before it can be done well.

Home from the house show:

Shinsuke Nakamura d. one of Los Lotharios, not sure which one.

Natalya d. braud from Hit Row, couldn't catch her name...

Sami Zayn v. Madcap Moss ends in DQ when Solo Sikoa interferes... Ricochet in for the save and turns into a tag team match. Sami Zayn & Solo Sikoa d. Madcap Moss & Ricochet.

Intermission

Hit Row d. Maximum Male Models

Liv Morgan d. Sonya Deville

Drew McIntyre & Sheamus d. the two members of Imperium who aren't Gunther... dunno their names.


My fav match was probably Maximum Male Models v Hit Row, and really my first time seeing either of them. MMM probably got the second loudest boos of the night, if not the loudest, and were super fun to watch... probably my fav match of the night just cause it was fun. They cut a promo before the match and it is a premium gimmick lol

Next loudest boos after them probably Imperium but feel like that was more about who they were facing, while MMM were truly earning their heat.

Loudest cheers went to Drew McIntyre when he got the hot tag, followed by Sami Zayn after he got on the mic after the match and told us to acknowledge him and said some pro-Canada stuff.

Wrestling is in such an exciting place right now. WWE is building and building every week to become the company we all have wanted it to be for our whole lives basically. Triple H is the absolutely perfect person to run the show and I don't think there is a debatable "other option" for the job at this point, not even close.

Triple H is somehow taking Crown Jewel and making it a show worth watching. With Jake Paul vs Roman as a huge spectacle match, it looks like we may also see DC vs Brock Lesnar!

Not confirmed of course but you can see it in the cards. That would be really awesome.

With AEW it's still got a lot of fun going on but sure it's certainly taken a couple of counter strikes lately. Luckily there are some talents there that are more than worth watching and the show has still been worth keeping up with.

It's weird that all this good stuff is going on but at the same time wrestling still kind of sucks more than ever. I don't know how to explain it.

It's been weird for sure. It at times had its moments where there has been a slip up but for the most part, it has been really good. HHH knows what he is doing and he has a real eye for the business.

Don't care much for TNA and never have, really, but kudos to them for carving out a little niche and finding TV partners that are comfortable with them where they are.

The best thing about TNA outlasting AEW potentially will just be telling marks that lolTNA beat AEW. That being said, I don't think they will outlast AEW. If anything, they'll try to kill TNA if they start tanking so that they can take their spot on the network that doesn't care if their ratings stink.

I really enjoyed TNA around 2006-2008 when I watched, was more enjoyable than WWE at the time and more enjoyable than what I have seen of AEW. Wasn't "cool" yet to dislike the WWE, so they were never able to take off... (and also they went way downhill quick after I stopped watching, but I loved that brief period)

I've always felt that wrestling's boom period had shit loads of factions, and that helped a lot of guys get some air-time/direction that they wouldn't have otherwise had.

More trios/factions could lead to more interesting interactions.

Judgment Day could be so much better as individuals, if you think about it.

* Finn Balor could be moving towards a feud with AJ Styles that isn’t bogged down by Gallows & Anderson (who suck).

* Dominik & Rhea would work on their own.

* Damian Priest could do his own thing. Hell, he’d be a better choice for the Karrion Kross push than Karrion Kross.

I guess as heavies they aren’t too bad. Gallows has got a sneaky charm about him. He reminds me of Nash (minus a bunch of charisma obviously). Anderson isn’t TERRIBLE as a worker, but the Gallows team does nothing to help him. It’s kind of funny having a New Japan champion in WWE though. That’s the most interesting thing about this so far.

I’ve never been the biggest RVD fan, but those clips make it look amazing.

Van Dam was the most exciting worker on the planet for 3-5 years. WWF didnt get him and they hand cuffed him creatively and athletically. They lost millions on mishandling him.

He seemed like the best guy to try and take them forward in 2001. It was basically there for them to take and they just…didn’t.

I never saw ECW so I never "got" RVD.... just seemed like a guy who was content to just "coast on his rep" for decades and never change/adapt... and his punches were terrible... not Shane McMahon level bad, but terrible....

I do have to admit that it must be some "rep" that he got in ECW because he did make a lengthy career of coasting on it.

I get what you’re saying. I was never a Van Dam guy. That being said, I was never a Rock guy either. But remember how stonkingly over he was in 2001? It bothered me how popular he was. Taking me out of it, he could have done way more for the company.

And if he got pushed better, who knows if he would have fallen into his patterns as hard. It’s not like he couldn’t work. Imagine if he got to have a real run up there with Kurt Angle, Austin and Rock while the the chance was there.

RVD agrees though. He says it sucked the life out of him after he realized they didnt get him and never were going to get him. He resigned himself to earning paychecks; he completely checked out. Thats the tragedy. His career ended in 2001. There was a spark when ECW was getting its revival but that was it. He phoned it in and got paid. The end.
