Release the Petey cut!

 

I drive through Trenton for work and trust me you won’t find anything.

 

AEW Collision & Battle of the Belts ratings for July 15, 2023

 

Ooooh lordy this match should be a fun one.

 

Random thought/comment:

Has Charlotte ever (successfully) been a face?

I briefly saw her weird Smackdown segment with Bianca two(?) weeks ago on Smackdown and horribly, the vibe I got from her was bad political person trying to win people over at a rally with how she was smiling and trying to get the audience to cheer. Was terrible.

 

Dom winning the NA title is wild lol

 

Giving the most annoying heel a belt is a classic Vince move. I think every member in Right To Censor had one at one point.

altho Dom has been more of a side-piece with Finn/Priest doing more stuff now & just gets booed to hell for existing.

 

Minus Stevie, but yeah they had the tag and women's belts at the same time for a brief period before it went back to the E&C/Hardys/Dudleys rotation.

 

Val was also the IC champ for a hot minute but I could be getting my timeline mixed up. It was also the time when the Hardcore & European belts were changing hands every couple weeks so it’s easy to lose track.

 

It worked for a bit at the beginning of the year when she first came back and beat Rhonda. There’s too many people on Smackdown now that the crowd wants to cheer more post draft.

 

Forgot about Val but I think he was IC champ right before the gimmick change.

 

I dig Dom winning. It legit took me by surprise.


Gotta assume Wes wins it back at the ppv.

 

Holy fucking fuck

 

I doubt he keeps it long but the dude deserves a little reward

 

I wish Judgement Day was a cool stable.

They are as corny as it gets.

 

They are doing away with short title reigns on the main roster, but it works for NXT while they’re doing all this crossover stuff. Probably the right time to get more casuals to tune in.

 

I hope Wes Lee starts chasing the NXT title soon

 

war dogs baby

 

Happy Kota Ibushi Debuts in AEW Day!

 

It's crazy how strong Coughlin is. He always catches me of guard with it.

 

i am so excited for Blood & Guts that i asked my gf if we can watch it in lieu of date night tonight so i don't get spoiled lol.

 

GCW just announced their Korakuen Hall debut. Awesome to see.

 

it is so interesting to see indies adapt as the US national scene expands.

ROH and TNA sprang up to fill the WCW hole
ROH gets purchased by Sinclair and PWG fills that hole as super-indie
NXT signs half of the PWG alum, PWG loses their spot as sole super indie as GCW/AIW spring up
AEW starts and signs the rest of the credible indie names and PWG alum
now American indies are a blender of AAA, CMLL, NJPW, and US indie talent

some of these GCW cards look like better Triplemanias
