no

Aliens Fire Team is good fun.

Like a Prayer is decent, That Austin Powers song and her Bond theme are guilty pleasures but they aren't good

Like a Virgin By Madonna. Maybe it was Edgy when it came out, but its just lame and crap now. 

They'll turn this into a work. I can't wait for Charlotte vs Nia Jax in a Brawl for All remake. With ButterBean as guest ref 

Loving that PS2 apron.  

The original 2D GTA's. 

I vaguely remember when Cage left for TNA, But apparently he wrestled Bryan Danielson in ROH in 2006?!

From The Fiend to Bill to fucking Braun. In the span of a month or so.

Yup, always the way.

No matter what you do elsewhere, you're going back there in their gimmick.

Look at Bully Ray, "Back in the funny glasses and camo you go son."

Which is infuriating. Bully Ray could have been a solid heel on Smackers in 2016. Nobody gave a shiny shite about The Dudleys after their return in 2015.

NXT is lame and will honestly be better when its rebooted. No more Johnny Wrestling and more Brauns please.

At this point it'll be so awkward seeing him going back to 'The List' or whatever. I hope if he does go back to WWE at some point for the HOF run or whatever then he stays how he is now. Knowing how much fun he's been having with creative freedom and all that. Although I'd be shocked if Vince would let him walk out looking like that.

No way does he do his AEW gimmick in WWE. He'd go back to The List for sure. I doubt when he does go back, He'll care, Tbh. He'll get that HOF induction and then retire or just coast off past glories. Odds on him retiring in AEW though? Could it happen?

I could see Jericho going back to WWE for one last small run and HOF in late 2022/2023. MJF needs the win.

A massive own goal of an episode. After a run of the most electric weekly wrestling I'd ever seen they laid an egg. I wonder if this card suffered because they were showing off their older guys to new viewers (Hardy, Big Show, Gunn, Arn) or if it's a worrying sign the addition of Rampage is already watering things down. Whole show felt off, with bad timing of the entrance music, cold matches, sloppy wrestling and the Codyverse running fucking wild. Did they really think Lee Johnson running out was a satisfying finish? 

Thankfully there were two hot angles. The tag team eliminator post-match was a riot with The Young Bucks being the best pricks on the planet. CM Punk was a comedown from Friday but he still felt like a God. The slipped in Danielson tease was awesome. Not much else. 

All Out is a strange looking card. Punk vs Darby is heatless 'dream match' stuff. World Champion is in another B-level match. Moxley's being wasted. MJF/Jericho I never want to watch again. Bleurgh.

See you next Wed for Dynamite.

Becky will be the top heel going forward according to PWInsider. I mean that's smart, but they could have avoided this by not having her look like such a smug twat.

Keep Cole away from AEW. 

Goldberg looked like a pathetic old geezer. Becky is as smug and as unlikeable as she was before she left, just now she's actually done a heelish move. THEY HAD CARMELLA OUT THERE, PIN HER IF YOU MUST GIVE "THE MAN" A FUCKING TITLE YOU BUNCH OF INEPT MORONS.

Jesus wept.

Way to make your top babyface woman look like such a smug dickhead. WWE just makes it so easy to hate them.

Doesn't seem real lads.

Keep Adam Cole in NXT. 

I couldn't give a toss about Dwayne returning. Austin's chance has passed sadly. Dude's too old and I don't see him moving the needle.

Not sure how to embed videos, But The Morrowind theme is up there. Chills when I hear it.

Its not quite WCW yet but it could get there, Quick. And the Hogan thing, I mean, Hogan to WCW brought in the nWo later on down the line, so I'd hope he was the Hogan of AEW. Not quite the same of course but someone who takes them over the edge. Vince may not admit it but Punk was a guy they'd love to get back, And he's now endorsing this new brand. Its very exciting. 

WWE has taken the piss for 10 years. AEW in one night has showed them their arse. Can't wait for Vince to bring out Brock or Taker in response.
