The King Of Swing

Really good effort from Athena and Red Velvet at BoTB. Pretty pointless show in the grand scheme of things (couldn't even be arsed to put the international title on the line) but still a solid enough hour or wrestling.

Not surprised that AZM gave Storm her best match in ages. She's great.

Finally got around to watching Dynamite, expecting the worst. Wasn't great but nowhere near as bad as people are making out. That'll teach me for coming into this thread before actually watching the show, like an idiot. Wembley footage was obviously the low point and I really hope that's the end of the whole, sorry affair. To their credit, I think FTR did their best to salvage the situation. Dax is a solid promo. Okada being visibly bored in his squash match was fun. A Storm/May/Mina triangle could be a good laugh. But I'm worried that Mina will vanish into the void until we get closer to Forbidden Door. Hopefully she can stick around a little longer. Fuck it, I'll say it. Delusional mentor Jericho has legs, imo. At least it seems like he's finally fucked off Judas. Could have done without the Triple H dig but Osprey's promo was fine outside of that. Mercedes is much more suited to pre-taped promos.

Fucking hell, I genuinely thought that he was finally getting his holiday.

Pretty boring episode, tbh. Yuka Vs. Deeb could be a lot of fun and enjoyed the post HOB match brawl. But not much else. STP another example of AEW expecting people to take complete scrubs as some sort of threat. Oh and Ogogo finally returns just to be sucked into the Jericho blackhole. Fucking hell.

I'm so sick of this shit. I just want to enjoy a weekly wrestling show.

Undisputed Kingdom are absolutely dead in the water. Outside of Strong, of all people, they are complete losers. Never mind MJF Vs. Cole, when both are healthy. Subvert the whole thing and have MJF actually forgive Cole on his return, and spend a few months trying to bring him back into the light. Then have them both send the rest of the scrubs packing. Fuck logic, anything would be better than a prolonged MJF/Undisputed Kingdom feud.

I gave up on King of Monsters around halfway through. Just soulless slop. Skull Island was fun, though.

They've started adding Sendai Girls shows, recently. Zero 1 (or some sort of spinoff, not entirely sure) and Michinoku Pro are apparently also heading to the service.

On the regular, just AEW and Stardom. I've started dipping into ROH and I have a wrestleuniverse subscription (amazing value for money) and will check out whatever catches my eye, on there.

Doesn't help that Mercedes has never really been cut out for long promos.

Cracking main event and Osprey promo aside, I thought that was a pretty boring episode. I love Okada's heel work but that match was a bit of a drag. Okada Vs Pac, though, yes please.

Okada should then cut a post match promo, telling Eddie that All Japan is shit.
