"It's hard to believe that Toni Storm is a thirteen year veteran"

I'm guessing that was a comment about how old she looks but man, I popped because it sounded like JR was calling her shit for the amount of time she's wrestled.

There was mention of Shida having an injury. Anyone know if that's legit or just storyline?

Darby needs to go away for a while,

To prison, hopefully.

Darby’s not just tedious, he’s dangerous to himself and the business.

And to women and girls. 

[WeeAl]

Just two utter psychopaths in that main event. Jesus Christ.

She’s been back in Japan wrestling again so I doubt it.

[Merzbow]

Yeah Shida has also doing some stage acting in Japan recently so it's likely she's just busy working.

Just seen the Darby bump, what an absolute fucking idiot. Matt Hardy was giving it the big 'un on Twitter the other week about how Jeff is finally protecting his body after years of protecting his opponent which is why he now lands flat on them, then he puts a shift in like this? I would be pissed off if he had flattened me with that Swanton over the past few weeks. 

Also, Adam Coles Sharpshooter was dogshit and by the point of Dax tapping out, was literally just holding his legs up while Dax was laid on his front.

*edit* I just saw the Darby bump again. Fucking idiot. Imagine looking at Jeff, struggling to walk or think, and thinking ‘I want to do what he did… but more.’ Just absolute garbage of the highest order, especially in a match with no heat or stink on it whatsoever… and he’s fine immediately after? Fuck off.

That Darby ladder dive was ace, that's proper pro wrestling right there. Stick your 'Less is More! Work a hold! Hogan vs Rock!' shtick up your boring arse.

Hot take, Rock/Hogan was a million times better than sex pest Allin vs half-dead Hardy.

[Devon Malcolm]

Out of context that looks like one of the stupidest things you could ever see, Jeff Hardy just stood there waiting to be dived on and just happens to be surrounded by a bunch of chairs. In context I can't imagine it would be much better. What a twat.

[Chili]

Darby/Hardy was one of those in the moment matches, christ they don't need to do that mad bollocks. Sammy Guevara needs to take note on that. 

Danhausen coming from Mr Snrub's hometown is marvellous.

Hot take, I can't remember a single thing from Rock vs Hogan despite having seen it a dozen times, but I can reel off from memory every single spot from the first bunch of TLC matches.

A spot like that was never really going to go over well on here (especially considering who is actually performing the move, and rightfully so) but I'd stop watching wrestling completely if I couldn't enjoy something as spectacular as that.

In context it was worst.

Mainly because they teased the bump being the other way round, then Darby ran and got him, whacked him a bit and lay Hardy down. Then HE did the crazy bump, and literally within 30 seconds they were fine, and then Hardy did a swanton from the top rope to the outside (which he missed) onto the stairs. The match would finish with a reversed crucifix pin.

Seriously, the absolute worst.

I actually thought that, in a vacuum, this was the best Dynamite in a number of weeks. Unfortunately, the show doesn't exist in a vacuum so the fact that is closed with Cole and Co on the ramp, for example, makes me queasy at the thought of continuing to see Cole and Co all over the show.

Darby is out of his mind and so is Tony for letting him to this stuff. Hey, it was mental. And I like mental. But, like someone else said, how can Darby look at Jeff Hardy and think that actually it might be fun to be barely able to move? Shit, at least Jeff didn't take that bump. I was concerned for his life when he was at the top of that ladder.

MJF continues to be awesome.

Here's 16-year-old Toni Storm wrestling in Perth, Australia in 2011. Skip to 6:02. 

*Yes, Christopher Daniels was in Perth... for some reason.

**Shane Thorne at 2:18
