Well my prediction was wrong. Who is writing this garbage for WWE?

The same crack team that will probably take over writing for NXT when it moves to USA.

AEW card Lucha Brother get injured(leg).No rematch with "The Young Bucks" not yet.

What we missed as a rematch.

Yep. Not sure how I feel about this.

Yep. Not sure how I feel about this.

Sasha & Bayley are close in real life ,so must have been part of the deal to get Sasha back in the ring to keep them as a team. Props to Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair for taking the chair shots.

Remember that they were all really close from their time in NXT. That foursome was truly what started the women's revolution that we see today. They're still the 'Four Horsewomen' of that division, brands notwithstanding. And they know it. And they also know that it's good business to do what they can to spotlight and build up one another.

Are you still watching any of the current stuff Mike?

Some of the Japanese stuff... None of the WWE.

Ah, that's too bad. If you're a fan of workrate like I am, you're missing out on some of the best of all time. But I can understand your likely frustrations with the 'nonsense' that all too often overshadows it. Vince McMahon has become a man who values 'talking the talk' or 'having the look' over 'walking the walk' with his performers.

I'd pay to see that TODAY.

That's it with Vince. There's no logic to how it all works (booking in the WWE). All they do is trade wins & losses. The titles mean nothing. The wrestling is nothing more than the trading of high-spots, coordinated gymnastics, lot's of 2 & 3/4 counts and not much in the way of wrestling.

By "wrestling" are you talking about holds?

And that's just one territory at one of their larger arena's. The same night you had the same thing going on in Georgia, Florida, Mid South, in the AWA, in the Central States, In Bruiser's WWA, in at least territories in Canada, in the Pacific NW, in California and in at least two territories in Texas. Amazing when you think about it.

Holds with a mixture of mat wrestling thrown it.

Not starting off the match with series of kicks/punches and an immediate high-spot.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I will say that I watch Luche Underground from time to time.

Imagine for a second, if all that was all going on right now. My gosh the TV coverage would be insane.
