Well I see Max didn't learn anything from his time in AEW. How long until he gets fired from TNA for one of his raps? He doesn't have his boy Anthony Bowens around to help get him out of trouble anymore.

Imagine if the same old, mediocre wrestler won the Money in the Bank match three years in a row. Well that's what TNA has done with their equivalent of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match as Frankie Kazarian just won it again.

Amazing Red won the X Division title so that's pretty neat. Not like a sarcastic neat, like legitimately neat.

I don't recall you this angry over the Borden spot lol.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of a bunch of ladders in and around the ring with several doing spots on or around them. Stratton already went viral for hitting her head during a practice run and now this. If you can't hit it, don't try it. Plus the 'crowd of wrestlers standing and waiting in a group' thing is so fake looking. Can't wait for Cornette to be like, "three minutes into the match and Tiffy nearly spilled her fking brain on the outside."

I liked the Evans spot though, as stupid as the long setup was. Gotta be careful around those wooden, Amish ambulances.

I like the fact that his raps are unhinged. I’ve never taken him as someone who is expressing any kind of authentic view in them. He just flirts with the line and gives it to both sides unabashedly of whatever topic he’s discussing. I think those raps had a lot to do with why the Acclaimed got over in the first place and neutering the raps made them progressively less enjoyable over time. It’s kind of like stand up comics who offend everyone —-that is the point. Or GTA — it offends everyone, that is the purpose. I wish Caster the best. His in ring work isn’t for me but I think his gimmick and presentation are interesting and he brings an organic edginess to wrestling, more power to him. Not upholding any kind of locker room stuff or anything like that (don’t know of any) but just saying TK probably should have just let the young man do his thing. Theres plenty offensive about AEW and that’s what some of us like, even when it offends me.

I very much called out the Borden spot. You just have selective memory. But also, as you stated in your own post, she has a history of botching diving moves. Borden doesn't have the televised history of botching dives, plus we don't know what he's done in training. Thankfully he isn't stupid enough to post his training botches.

With Tiffy's lowlight reels of botches, at this point it's malpractice allowing her to do this stuff.

The setup for the Evans spot was illogical though the spot looked decent.

I do think Breaker should have been more forceful pushing the ladder and/or followed through on pushing it more so as to make it look less blatantly obvious that Evans was just jumping off the ladder as opposed to falling off it. It doesn't change the end result but would have made it look better,

WBD was the one that neutered Max if I remember correctly.

Leon Slater the new TNA champion, youngest TNA champion in history. Good to see they got the obvious right. I suspect it will be a short reign though unless he decides to forgo WWE/AEW money and re-sign with TNA since his contract ends this year.

In addition to Ospreay, Gabe Kidd, and Takeshita continuing to work NJPW and MJF recently issuing a challenge to Ryohei Oiwa, on the NJPW show today, Moxley announced his return in a pretape, and Omega showed up to take out the champ Yota Tsuji and Boltin Oleg to set up a three-way match for the title in November.

Also people are saying the Tsuji vs. Oiwa match that was the main event today was better than the G1 Final, which many cited as their match of the year.

EDIT: The three way match with Kenny isn't for the title. If Omega wins then he gets a title shot. I assume if Boltin wins then he gets a title shot. If Tsuji wins then I guess it's on to plan C.

Max probably screwed himself out of getting back to AEW now too with all that Saudi ties in the Skydance takeover of WBD.

I don't think WWE was ever interested in him to begin with but if there ever was any interest, I can't imagine there would be now.

Maybe it takes someone getting permanently paralyzed to wake some people up

TNA letting Max go out there with an unscripted and unapproved rap given his history in AEW just shows how stupid TNA can be at times. They made a lot of good decisions yesterday but that most certainly was among one of their stupidest decisions in a long time.

Dude got suspended for AEW for a rape joke during one of his raps, what are you doing TNA?

WWE gets a lot wrong but their presentation hits 9/10 times. To give a briefcase pyro is good stuff. They're all in on Penta. I think he uses the case on SD because Raw's title isn't going Roman, Oba, Penta but he's gonna be world champion in WWE next year.

I've said it before but where are you putting all these wrestlers who fans think should go to AEW? Am I mistaken and AEW actually has 6+ hrs of tv time per week? Melo goes missing for awhile, blacked out his social media, and had some thinking he was on his way out. Fans fall for that so much.

I still don't love the Roman aspect where he couldn't care less and isn't there half the time and WWE's street fights are very bland but whatever. This helps Melo and if we're gonna Bloodline, the Bloodline needs a group to best them, not rando individuals. They have an actual threat now.

Nah it’s because Melo’s booking has been crap for nearly his entire main roster career.

Blood and Guts is in three weeks and I don’t have the slightest ******* clue what either matchup could be.

I couldn’t even pick 10 women who are regularly on tv to throw in the match because there aren’t 10 women regularly on tv.

Shaping up to by be far the most heatless Blood and Guts yet by a wide margin
