    Might have to make my way to Philadelphia if I can find tickets for this. Glad to see Mox is going to be returning soon. Hopefully things are going good for him.

    Pretty quick trip to rehab wasn’t it? A month or so? Hope he’s doing better. Love Mox and would hate to see him become another statistic

    I thought so at first too. But then I realized Suzuki’s return back to Japan happened a few weeks ago and figured it was taped.

    Finally got around to watching Dynamite from last week since I was driving to visit family last Wednesday night. Halfway through and this is an awesome show:

    - MJF/Punk was incredible promo work, and I thought pretty evenly matched
    - An AEW main eventer once again went too long with a talent that can't lace their boots, stop giving these guys more than 3-5 minutes to squash some low card guy in a warm-up match
    - The Sting/Darby spot on the ramp was cool as fuck and this is the perfect example of how to use two guys that are way past their prime to get young talent over instead of just having them main event your shows in a desperate attempt to sell tickets
    - Definitely looking at getting tickets to Battle of the Belts in Charlotte
    - I'm not sure about turning a guy like Dante Martin heel and sticking him on Team Taz where Starks and Hobbs already feel underutilized but I'm interested to see where that angle goes

    I know most have bailed on NXT but the few weeks have been solid. Looking forward to the mens War Games match. Last night they have two fantastic matches. Gargano and Bron was a banger

    right after this Andrade’s manager helped him up, then they kinda pretended to fight for a few seconds, then I think they just called it and got out of dodge.

    Yeah. Steroids only make it so you can work harder. You still gotta put in the work. Why I really don't hate on steroid users.

    that seems like a pretty big deal. Im guessing this is what they’re doing with that kid they signed earlier this year that is still in college?

    It's interesting they're touting this while not letting their own supposed independent contractors operate their own social media without restrictions on what they can do to produce revenue for themselves.

    They kinda let me down with the ending of that tag match. Taz and Excalibur completely failed to sell the disrespect of FTR just ripping Penta’s mask off (which is wild because Excalibur’s dumb ass is still doing commentary behind a mask).

    Felt like they totally undersold the FTR/Lucha beef to focus on PAC and Black

    I was going to watch War Hames last night, then I saw in the preshow that part of the rivalry for that hair vs. hair match was an in-ring poker game. Plus the one guy didn’t have much hair. Turned it off after that stupidity.
