Bryan is filthy rich. It's all about the perfect retirement match now I suppose. Does he face HBK at Mania? I guess that's a bit hoky but most did want to see that a few years ago. I was going to make a joke he ends up in ROH to troll but they've never been more irrelevant. But heck if they paid for Punk/Joe/Bryan they'd soar in viewers. They have the resources I believe but seems they have no interest in trying to be big time.

I don't see why Impact would overpay for Joe who has the concussed liability stigma. He could be on their comms though. Joe alone won't move the needle for them.

Thing is they give MJF all this heat but he's already a natural heat magnet. They should be trying to make somebody else who has potential but they're playing it safe. MJF doesn't need the help.

As for the bump I think Jericho probably needed a minute as he was winded or something and wanted to be sure of the landing. I think he deserves props for doing that even though it looked like shit on TV.

if you looked closely the "fall of Jericho" was onto a bounce pad with plastic looking metal plates which he played off good but is not much harder a fall than jumping back firist onto your couch..still somewhat brutal match but the old territories were bloodier w/ one man gang, the freebirds and the blade runners back when it was cool to bleed in a match...those shows always ended up in a brawl...I hope charlotte retires Miro destroys Dipshit Allen, DMD looses her teeth and Alexis and that stupid doll...for fucks sake~is it me or is old "outwork everyone" exhusted @ the end of every match

Well I wouldn't take a blind backwards fall off a cage. You gotta trust those geeks who put that shit together aren't jealous of your success or you snubbed one of 'em cos you're all high and mighty on your fat wage and spot. And then of course you don't fuck it up yourself. If he fell slightly further back Khan would be wondering whether he offers money or therapy for the widow, perhaps commit hara-kiri. Hopefully not a live TV interview.

Miro has been cool of late. Why they played out that video game story I don't know. Was very WWE like to just ignore the fact everybody thought it was shit.

Remember when Adam Page was over and relevant? Good times...

[talltrekkie]

I think he's the guy who takes the AEW title from Omega, we've gotten the downswing and I feel like this summer is his comeback run to title, possibly at All Out.

Miro won the TNT title this week, don't think he needed the Scorpio/Ethan Page side stuff but since Sting was out there it had to happen. Clearly those two are getting the tag match with Darby/Sting next. Miro/Archer was teased and that'll be a nice hoss fight.

[Love Buzz]

Just feels like they have to start from scratch with Page even though he was over. I guess I'm somewhat out of the game since I follow very loosely.

I feel like everybody forgot that stadium stampede was filmed in advance and filming went on for nearly an entire night. We're not getting fans attending that, they'll be watching on the screen. They have a lot to live up to, not sure it'll be as great since Pinnacle don't exactly have high flyers.

[talltrekkie]

I think Hangman is still over, the lack of crowds has hurt him like many others. He's got a match for the PPV which is being sold at full capacity so that'll be a truer test. Both of if he's still over and where he's going since I'll be less optimistic on him if he loses to Cage. But I suspect it'll be a sneaky good match.

[talltrekkie]

It's kinda wild how back at Revolution 2020 I was wondering when Hangman was going to turn on Kenny, which was teased during/after their match vs. the Bucks. And here we are a little over a year later and Page is the only face left out that group.

I've got fuzzy memories but I think Hangman had the loudest pop that night; at least on the positive side, MJF was booed to fuck and back again. They were singing Jericho's theme even back then.

[Love Buzz]

It's as if without fan attendance they didn't know what to do with him and that's a problem because I don't see this being over with this year with variants out the ass and some care free states.

They were singing Jericho's theme even back then.

When the music is more over than most the roster. Funnily enough nobody sang until Sammy did so maybe it isn't as over as it seems, parrot mode initiates. Anyway I can't stand bad crowd singing so I mute the TV lol. The overemphasized bad comedic antics while it's sung is cringe. I've heard enough garbage renditions of it to be scarred into my memory, I don't need to hear it anymore. It's got go away heat with me.
