So good to see one guy clowning both sets of tag champions by himself. I know the one guy is Braun, but jesus. Do they not have 4 random dudes back there? Do we have to go out of our way at every turn to make sure that nobody ever cares about anything again? Speaking …

All Elite Wrestling Looks To Have A Canadian TV Home
They didn’t exactly leave a lot of room for promotion considering that the thing debuts tomorrow night, but All Elite Wrestling’s Dynamite TV show will be available in Canada. Details are extremely sparse (there hasn’t been an official announcement yet), but several reputable wrestling sites have reported that AEW and TSN have made a deal …

A Somewhat Negative Wrestling Notepad
Finally watched the Crockett Cup. Not a bad way to spend a few hours. Two most notable things for me were the tag team battle royal where one half of a team getting tossed didn’t eliminate the whole team (it should always be that way because it’s less clunky and more suspenseful) and the main …
So Don’t Expect To See Them Wrestle, Then?
I shouldn’t be amazed by this stuff anymore, but I doubt I’ll ever completely get to that point. Backstage Update on Why Street Profits Aren’t Wrestling Yet on Raw I understand the part about wanting to protect them from being beaten and 50-50’d into oblivion like the other 70,000 pieces of wasted talent on this …

An Idea For The New NXT
I still don’t like the idea of a two hour NXT every week, but I’ve been thinking about it and I have an idea that maybe could make it a little less bad. Stop running 205 Live as its own show and integrate all of the cruiserweights and their belt into NXT. Right away you …
Must We Screw Up NXT?
It’s no secret that NXT is far and away my favourite thing that WWE does. It’s logical, it’s fun, it’s as close as you’re going to get to a perfect mix of action and story progression in the modern era, and the shorter length of the TV shows and the Takeover specials means that things …
Late Summer Wrestling Notepad
Sitting here wondering how much more I might have enjoyed Okada vs. Sanada in the New Japan Cup final had I not known who won ahead of time. What a great match. It’s nice to follow things through to their end and be rewarded for doing so. Finally got around to the ROH MSG show. …
Extreme Notepad
New Japan is so great. Everyone in the world knows that Shota Umino has virtually no chance of beating Hiroshi Tanahashi in the New Japan Cup, and New Japan knows that we know that. But even so, they’re taking the time to build up the match and show us that he’s not intimidated or afraid …
New Authority Figures! Yay?
This is kind of interesting, I suppose. PAUL HEYMAN, ERIC BISCHOFF NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS OF WWE TV It’s interesting since it appears to be something happening in real life rather than yet another storyline reset, but I think people are going to make way too much out of it way too quickly. My initial reaction …
Stomping Grounds Was Surprisingly Good, Super ShowDown Was Not, And A Bunch of Other Stuff Happened. It’s The Wrestling Notepad
I’ve watched Kushida wrestle twice already in NXT, but I’m so behind on New Japan that I just finished watching his sendoff match against Hiroshi Tanahashi from the Road to the New Beginning. I loved it, and it’s a fine example of why I don’t plan on skipping any shows to catch up if I …
