I gotta rewatch Okada/BD. I just can’t into it last night.
I'm on record for not liking their matches vs each other. I didn't like the match they had at Forbidden Door and people told me it was "an off night for Okada" oh well. Fast forward I really liked the 6 Man tag he was in with the Bucks and I liked the match vs Claudio too. I just don't feel the energy when he and Bryan lock up.

Good Dynamite - not sure why but even with the highlight packages and PPV level opener and closers it weirdly didn't feel like enough of a celebration. :yeshrug:

Os/Rico was fun but I get the feeling that was a legit "exhibition" and the real match is the three way dance with Take at WD. That mess is gonna steal the show.

I'm gonna need to see some real hard evidence now if I'm not going to join the Britt is washed train. Deeb carried her ass to a watchable match but even her slingblades looked :flabbynsick: They did about a hundred whips even though clearly neither of them are any fukking good at running the ropes. Serena just needs to stick to what she's good at, but Britt needs to realise the division leveled up when she was gone - she needs to up her game or start a stable.

Shelton intro got a big pop. HS is shaping up nicely - still waiting on that fourth man (assuming Lashley appears at WD or next Dynamite)

Danielson/Okada was flames. Stip was weird, but same with the false finish on Os/Rico... it's just a moment in what was otherwise a shyt load of fun. Danielson hitting the Rainmaker CLEAN was beautiful. I love this Okada tbh, DGAF.

Private Party's new theme is not an improvement. :childplease:
The clips from Dynamite’s history they chose to highlight were largely just weird. Like a lot of them were fairly unremarkable highlights while numerous far bigger and better moments and matches didn’t get shown at all.

I wish they could have made Shelton’s debut be in a segment in front of the fans instead of backstage as the crowd mic level gets turned down for them segments. And even with that factored in that pop was quite loud. Imagine how it would have sounded in front of the fans.

They’re building up Lashley’s debut and they’re doing it well. Lashley ain’t even there and already feels more like a big deal than what Trips was trying. :skip:
They got people anticipating his debut without even really dropping a single hint about it.

I hope this Saturday or next Tuesday they have MVP giving his elevator recruiting pitch to whatever young guy is going to be in the Syndicate then have Lashley debut at the PPV.

I would argue that it would be better to debut Lashley on TV, but the quality of tv crowds are so hot and miss while the PPV crowds are normally pretty good with the exception of shytty ass Vegas.

Hobbs in HS is money itself. There’s so much they can do with him involved. And you can have Hobbs separate from them in the future and have the Hobbs/Bob feud. It’ll be a great to build Hobbs as a face and push him as a singles star. Depending on how long Bobby is there, it’ll be the traditional wayto put over the young generation on his way out.

Best down club. That could only happen in TNA .. speaking of which I saw Josh Alexander literally smacking the shyt out of somebody...TNA is on channel 1613 on my TV..I don't keep up with TNA so much, even with the wwe thing.,

I know who he's trying to emulate, but Josh Alexander is probably the pound for Pound best wrestler at this point.

Also, this isn't a Joshua bias..

Josh Alexander is legit. I hope one day he is able to get on a bigger platform where he is booked well as he deserves it.

Saw Josh Alexander at a RevPro event - he's a fukking beast. Someone's gotta give him a proper stage before it gets late for him.
