Sheamus/McIntyre...ehh, the other two, I'd buy popcorn for, even when they happen again in AEW.
My issue with the Bucks beyond their in-ring, is they are booking the tag-division, but what dancing partners have the Bucks had beyond the Lucha Bros, again what happened to the fake shoot they had with FTR...is that on hold?
Vince hates tag-teams, does Tony as well? Why haven't they invested in that division?
Tony loves tag teams- they have a shit ton of them...
Lucha Bros
Young Bucks
Jurassic Express
Butcher* & Blade
Santana & Ortiz
Varsity Blondes
FTR*
Private Party
The Factory
Dark Order
Hybrid 2
The Acclaimed
Gunn Club
Best Friends
Top Flight*
Bear Country
2.0
Chaos Project
Nightmare Family
The Sydals
The Good Brothers
SCU
Hangman/Omega
Bryan looked refreshed and ready to work. Punk is going to give guys like Hobbs, Starks, etc the rub. Really curious to see when Hangman and Cody come back what they do. Awful lot of faces right now. Cole vs Hangman could be a good holding spot while Bryan and Omega fued.
Yeah, was going to say, it would be hard to watch any amount of AEW and think that they don't like/respect tag teams wrestling. They've got a bunch of really good and over tag teams, and they've been heavily featured.
The Bucks just finished a long reign, but three other teams held the tag titles since AEW's inception before the Bucks got them. In the first tournament to determine the inaugural AEW tag team champions, the Bucks jobbed in the first round to Private Party, and they lost at least 4 attempts at the titles before winning them.
I'm not sure he's watched enough to actually know what he doesn't like, because a lot of his complaints don't much match reality.
I take back all my disappointment in Cole going to AEW. At least I'll still be able to watch him wrestle.
Also he would need to change his last name. So it wouldn't conflict with Michael Cole. Shane Helms had to do the same because of Shane McMahon.
Not quite Bubba Ray Dudley in Dayton, but in the same area code...
Looking forward to Pilman Jr vs MJF again...both have improved in 2 years...
3:58 mark
I gather most here are all in with AEW, but I think it's promising Smackdown came out lit tonight and stayed that way, imagine a wrestling war, where no one loses.
This was an old school Raw where most stuff worked, not sure they can do it weekly, but can they transition tonight to next week, not in the Garden and to Raw...throw Lashley a bone.

Smackdown is consistently a solid show. RAW is too damn long to find a groove. WWE has to stretch segments to fill time. Or worse yet send out segments that they know are garbage to eat time. It should be special for performers to get on TV instead it's almost a given if you're on the RAW roster.
I've always thought that WWE should use 45 min to an hour of RAW to feature the best of NXT...gives the newbies some TV time, gets the "regular" WWE fan familiar with them and provides much better filler for the show than Jeff Freakin Hardy chasing the 24/7 Belt...
It would go: Performance Center -->NXT--> NXT Segment on RAW--> Main Roster
I'd also get a kick out of AEW doing a segment on Dark or Rampage with an AEW signed wrestler vs. an Indy talent from whatever city they are in that week...
Their way of clearing the slate? Most likely they establish the new brand champ, then have Joe cleared to come back and challenge that person, and then they put that person over Joe to cement the burial of all that was good in the old NXT?
This has the relaunch of ECW written all over it...
Really wonder about H's thoughts on all this, wonder if Vince gives him an extra present at Christmas in exchange for destroying his baby? At this point I question whether he actually had a cardiac issue, or was that a work as well, this Joe stuff obviously is.

Big Show is off the table...I'd take Mahal over TL Hopper or Freddy Joe Floyd, guessing they are all on the table.
Actually just Hopper is forgot Smothers passed

It wasn't the Holy Shit surprise to say the least, I hope them having him leak it paid off and got numbers up, if not, still don't care, so happy for him. I hope he gets a few PPV run.
Not gonna lie, was totally waiting for Kofi/Woods to turn on him when they came out....

At least he won't have to face Goldberg.
Maybe have New Day turn on him at Extreme Rules and Goldberg make the save.
I think they should run-back the New Day vs. The Bloodline and ride that too at least SS, but still not sure what they are doing with Brock/Roman? Is that SS? Is Rock coming back? I don't think they blow off Brock/Roman before Mania unless Rock is coming back?
I have no clue, but tonight was a good step, after a hot Smackdown, Vince needs competition.

Looks like Impact Wrestling didn't like Tommy Dreamer's comments he gave in the episode...
