    Listening to 83 weeks and they were covering 94 Fall Brawl and that Dusty promo to unite with his son. So fucking good. One of my favorite from Dusty. Might be my number 1.

    Honestly that is the first time I have ever seen her wrestle. I think my anger is watching Raw. Sorry just a bad day.

    she's in the twilight of her career, Mickie could go though, probably gave Asuka her best match in NXT despite being well past her prime

    The AEW main event was the most brutal match on a weekly nationally televised network in a long time.

    Also didn't NXT use Mia Yim real life relationship with Keith Lee in storyline, now she is just in the forefront of a group attacking him?

    No see, you heard about that relationship from the dirt sheets. You are a smark like us, and there is only a couple of us that go to the internet or social media to interact with the wrestlers. Most fans don’t know the internet or social media exists. Signed Vince

    Zelina vs Asuka on the pre show tells you what Vince thinks of women’s wrestling. I mean we have to see the street profits fight Andrade and Angel again. It’s only been 50 times.

    at first with Raw Underground I was like, it’s different and I’m a fan of different so let’s wait and see where it goes. But it’s gone nowhere, it doesn’t build to anything. It’s the definition of filler.

    They could have had Shayna show up in underground and kill all the men then send her after Asuka for the title. Would have been something.

    Bleacher Report, which is usually pretty generous in its grades, has given the following grades so far on tonight's segments

    F, C-, C-, B, C+, C, F-, D, D

    Exactly, that would be using it to build to something. That would be using it as a part of the WWE universe. Right now it’s almost like Shane and the unused wrestler are so bored with 3 hours of Raw (like most of us) that they’d rather go into the basement of the Amway Center and fight each other than watch it too

    Like they don’t even use it for segments, it’s so unimportant to anything that they us it as bumper going into and out of commercials

    Also, now that you can clearly see one is Dio Madden, did the commentary team even mention how he used to be a commentating partner of theirs? Or is a few months ago a different dimension too?

    They’ve needed a continuity person for so long like Star Wars or the MCU do. Just someone to remember storylines. Someone to sit in booking meetings and say things like “hey, remember, those two wrestlers hated each other last month. So, maybe at least mention something about that if you pair them up in a tag match tonight?”

    that alone would go a long way to fixing issues they have been having with storylines

    there’s a lot to complain about but I don’t really have a problem with taking a guy who has never gotten close to over, repackaging him with a new gimmick and pretending the previous ones never existed. to me that’s normal pro wrestling.

    that said, this new gimmick is trash.

    Oh God, like I said I didn't watch, but I didnt realize Lawler was on commentary tonight

    Dio Maddin was literally on commentary with him for two months and Dio was written off taking a beating from Brock for defending Lawler
