That’s why I say they need Tessa. She does the match and tries to get women’s division into some sort of respectable wrestling. Otherwise cut bait of all of them on Dynamite.

I absolutely agree that they need Tessa. I'm guessing that her attitude is holding her back. But they could make her a star in one night if they wanted to. Do the angle where Shida says she wants to fight anyone for the belt and have Tessa come out and destroy her and become the champion.

 

[Judge Fudge]

Yeah, that was what all the hype was about? We've all set off fireworks as kids that were more potent than that. Even the crowd booed at how weak it was.

Im a Purist But...................

You have to Deliver if you are promising something big

Oh Same...

We ,as the UWC (Universial Wrestling Community), made the mistake of raising our expections when we should have looked at who is most likely.

I think the reveal would have worked better if Christian appeared on Dynamite and hyped up a surprise signing at the PPV who ended up being Paul Wight.

If say Kevin Nash shows up on Raw next week and promises a HOFer returning at a PPV I would expect Hogan or Shawn Michaels to show up. X Pac would be a fun surprise but would seem like a disappointment.

Absolutely. I think everyone would've been okay with everything if they did it that way instead of the way they did it on this show.

Honestly I'm pissed a bit....

I bought expecting my 50 dollars worth....

I'm out 10 dollars.

I liked the Tag match but Way WAY too short

Casino was Good. Not great. I'm a quick fan of Jungle Boy. I expect a bright future.

Womens title. Very good. Could have stole the show but...........

It got Stolen by Page/Hardy. That match was Fantastic.

Brass Ring. Very good. Standout Performances by all but Cody because we expect that from him.

Great Street fight.

Actually all of the explosions were bad, Come to think about it. More smokebombs then fire explosions, like we expect from LANDMINES.

Overall.

4.5/10.

The Action from the midcard was Phenomenal but the Mistakes of Bad under delivery was too much to overlook.

Gives me a Idea for a shirt.

Front: Picture of Good Brothers and Omega with Tools and a House behind them. Under Omega/Good Brothers Construction.

Back: If you want it done right, Do it yourself. If you want it done to shit, Call us.

For me, I'd recommend starting from the Page vs Hardy match and watching until the end. The stuff before that I thought wasn't anything great.
The opener tag match was fine but I didn't think there was anything worth going out of your way to watch. That interview later in the show with the Inner Circle I think obviously is setting up MJF trying to take over leadership of the group.
The tag team rumble or whatever it was called looked sloppy for the most part. Death Triangle and TYB should be a good match. I'm guessing though that QT is turning heel and the seeds were planted a few weeks ago when Lee Johnson didn't thank him when he was thanking everyone.
I skipped the women's match because I didn't really have an interest in it.
The tag match with Miro is the time I would've gone to the concession stands or bathroom because I haven't cared about all of this since the feud started.
I didn't mind the Hardy vs Page match at all. It went pretty much exactly how I thought, except I thought TH2 would come out and help Matt Hardy for that as well as Private Party.
The ladder match was a typical ladder match. Cody I think tried to pull the same move Ric Flair did at that one Wrestlemania during the MITB match where he disappeared and came back. Don't know much about Ethan Page but think he did fine. Wonder if we'll get a Ethan and Adam Page vs Brian and Christian Cage match at some point?
The Christian Cage announcement was a dud but we've already been over that.
The cinematic match with Team Taz and Sting and Darby was enjoyable. Thought it'd be Darby pinning Starks instead of Sting though so they could give Darby the win going into his match with Scorpio Sky on Wednesday.
The barbed wire death match was just like a typical hardcore match and went pretty much how I thought it'd go except was thinking it'd go the full 30 minutes. So with Kingston trying to save Mox, is he going to be turning face now?
I'd probably give it around the same grade as you. Not the best show they've ever put on and not the worst and nothing I don't think that anyone needs to go out of their way to see. Glad I didn't pay for this.

Could possibly be CM Punk or Brock Lesnar.

I came here to say that exact same thing. Would prefer Punk.

Punk would've been good because I feel like he still has some juice left in the tank and could probably cut a better promo still than most of the roster. Brock would've been good because he just looks like a guy that could just beat the shit out of someone and enjoy it.

As we all know nothing is more important in the rasslin' biz than mic skills, Dusty Rhodes the best example. Punk has that, he knows how to rev the engines.

I would like to see Cage vs Lesnar, but other than that,...

AEW has entered TNA territory where they overhype the shit out of something and then vastly under deliver. Christian is ok but no where near the level Tony “new age Dixie Carter” Khan played up.

He definitely has a problem of overhyping stuff. I knew this would happen and think I might have even mentioned it here. But that aside, I do think Christian is a pretty good get. If he can still go and it looks like he can based on his Rumble appearance, we should get some entertaining stuff to come out of this. But yeah, TK definitely over hyped it. If he would have just stopped at "hall of fame worthy talent", it would have been fine. Because yeah, Christian is probably gonna be a HoF from his Edge/Christian days. But the "huge huge star" thing is too far

I thought the drama in the main event was fantastic including the Good Brothers and Eddie.. then that pyro was weak. Ruined the entire moment.

It got the ending it deserved. That whole match was trash. They completely embarrassed themselves so now maybe that'll be enough to dial this stuff down a bit. Not every Mox match needs to be some over the top hardcore fest that tries to outdo the last.

PPV itself was decent. There's some good matches but nothing mindblowing. But any good is definitely getting overshadowed by the horrible end.

Nowadays, I feel like cutting a good promo is more essential than even being a damn good worker. Cage would be a good opponent for him and when Hobbs develops more, I think Hobbs and Lesnar would be a real good hoss fight as JR would call it.

 

[wildturkey]

As long as they don't have Christian Cage somehow related to Brian Cage.

We now have two Cages and two Pages. You know, Vince might be on to something by not having guys with the same last name or even similar names

Granted, Christian was in one of the best tag teams in the past 20-25 years. But as a single, Edge was obviously the more standout star. Christian really never did a whole lot on his own in WWE and was a solid mid carder at best. His biggest push as a singles that I remember was during is TNA stint for a year and a half to two years. In terms in other sports, I feel like he'd be in the Hall of Good but not in the Hall of Fame, which I think is part of the reason why it was a letdown. As for the main event, I think we all witnessed why the hardcore stuff for the most part died out years ago and why these barbed wire death matches are not a regular thing.

And they also occasionally have Diamond Dallas Page around on top of that.

IMO Christian is just as good as Edge but Vince didn't see him as a big star, thus.....

Does He say HOF... probably but I think he is more "Untapped Potential" then HOF.

Again. I swear they were using Smoke bombs instead of landmines

I never had a problem with his place on the card and feel like he was as high as he was ever going to get there. I don't think he stood out enough to reach that main event level in WWE. We all know the rep TNA had with WWE castoffs around that time, so I won't go there.
