I flipped on HiaC last night (no issues with Peacock for me) and promptly turned it off when I saw that it was in the ThunderDomeTM. I'm done watching wrestling without actual fans in the building.

The issues were during the first 15 mins of the pre-show I think. I always forget that the actual show doesn't start till 8.

2 surprise roll ups and a dq last night.

This is a cool spot and all, but I can't wait til we get fans back in the building so they stop relying on crash pads so much. You see Morrison step up on it prior to getting on the railing, then the camera never goes over to get a shot of them on the ground. I know it's professional wrestling, but if you can't do a spot safely without using blatant stunt man crash pads, don't do it at all.

Bobby Lashley has been one of RAW’s most featured stars since he won the WWE Championship for the first time earlier this year.

Kenice Mobley, who is on the RAW writing team, said she is not sure whether the WWE Champion's name is Bobby Ashley or Bobby Lashley:

“So I am on the Monday Night RAW team,” she added. “So there’s Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and the people I know that are on it are Bobby — his name is either Bobby Ashley or Bobby Lashley and I really should know that. He’s like this giant black guy and he and the people who are part of his crew, I know that they call — or at least as of last year, they called themselves The Hurt Business. The Hurt Business. They wear suits and they’re like, ‘We’re cool.’”

Kenice is no longer part of the RAW writing team.

RIP Del Wilkes, who formerly worked in WWF as The Patriot and originally had the theme music that is associated with Kurt Angle.



He was 59 years old.

It's pretty obvious he has an addiction problem with alcohol. Just have to hope that this is the wake up call he needs and can get some help before he kills someone or himself.

This is his fifth DUI. Something tells me it's not going to be a wake up call for him.

It's his 5th DUI and so far he's only really had to pay something like $500 in fees. How is that even possible?

geez, I didn't realize it was that bad. I knew of one other and figured maybe another one that was long ago.

That was the first dynamite I've ever watched. What a show. So happy Andrade and Black are in AEW. They're perfect for that brand I think.

I was thinking it was way too soon for him to debut... Supposedly WWE screwed up and left his no compete as 30 days instead of 90.

Could be very cool things ahead w/ Black. Absolute no-brainer there. I think back to the clip of him telling Gargano "I absolve you of your sins" and then burying him with a black mass and just scratch my head as to how WWE couldn't find a way to use him.

They kind of botched the f out of the first few weeks w/ Andrade but if they can dump Vicky and he performs in the ring, there is potential there. Her shrill, often nearly unintelligible rambling into the mic doesn't help his cause.

I liked last night, because they built of Sydal to be a "top 5" guy by having him get wins on Dark. Then Andrade comes in and beats up, which puts Andrade squarely in the top 5 rankings, I bet.

I do like the use of their ranking systems, as it appears to make logical sense, most times.

Black is just a fun character, I can't wait to see what they do with him, and obviously when Murphy comes along as already hinted at.

After that, there's not much more I want to see from WWE to AEW. There just isn't.

I doubt I'm the only one to notice this, but it is very odd with WWE right now... They are releasing talent left and right... Yet every week they basically have the same matches between the same people, often with the same results, and pretty much the same story.

Some of these matches are still good because the people involved are good at what they do but not hard to see why ratings are plummeting.

I legit think that the WWE forcing stars, instead of letting anyone get momentum from the crowd is what I don't have an interest in.

There's no natural heel or babyface. It's forced 100 times out of 100 even if everyone hates it. Only thing I like is that RKBro team, and I bet they end that real soon with a predictable surprise RKO.
