No one can see my baby! No one! And theres only one way to make sure...

"Name him John Cena!"

Actually that was right after a PPV where Rollins lost to McIntyre clean and he shook his hand afterwards. Which was like... normally a sign of a face turn.

Then he came out the next night all despondent for a tag match where he just stood there and Rey took a cheap for for no reason, then Seth grabbed Rey which somehow led to a DQ, I think.

It was very strange couple of days.

---

There's a difference between someone having their eyes poked out during a storyline and then a match that only ends with someone having their eye ripped out of their skull by the other opponent.

---

Actually it should be a 2 out of 3 eyes match.

---

It's a buildup to the rematch, which will be a Whole World Blind match. It'll just be a black screen with audio.

---

Dominik then offers to give Rey his eye, but they're incompatible because he really is Eddie's son.

---

Oh hey its PWI 500 time again

Who had the best year in kayfabe from July 1st 2019 to June 30th 2020?

Its a tough call this year. No dominant World Champ in any major promotion.
---

Although now that I think about it, its probably Moxley
---

Becky?

---

Its limited to men and people like Tessa who competed against men

Women who only wrestle women have their own list
---

The Fiend should do pretty well.

---

Jericho's gonna look pretty damn good in the ranks as well

Its a 20 match minimum

EDIT: Also I just checked and Jericho had exactly 20 matches <_<
---

I could see them adjusting that this year though considering everything got shut down for the final third of the period
---

Ok I didnt realize Bray worked so many house shows. Hes good to go
---

So usually the jobbers they bring on AEW Dark are at least decent. Like they're relatively inoffensive. Some may be pretty generic.

But holy shit, this Roche Chanelle is so fucking green she should not be here. She has botched timing on everything against Big Swole to the point where even she looks fed up. She botched a neckbreaker and landed Swole on the top of her head. I'm not even done with the match, but it's very clear Swole is so over this chick. Her character is awful too, which makes it even worse.

I appreciate them giving these indy folks a shot and a paycheck but damn, she's bad.

---

Am I crazy or is Michael Nakazawa's comedy wrestling like really bad? I like comedy wrestling, but I feel like the oiled up stuff is really old after the first time you see it and the thong thing just isn't very funny.

---

I agree on Nakazawa.

So we can all blame Jericho for this.

---

Don't take my boy Santanas name in vain here.

---

I haven't put on any tv wrestling in over a month, but I had to just for Slater.

Also, the Orton/Flair/Truth/Tozawa backstage bit was great.

---

Riddle made a video about his accuser.

https://twitter.com/SuperKingofBros/status/1280894471257890817?s=20

---

I watched it a second time.

I want to say his lawyer would have told him "PLEASE DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PUBLICLY. FUCKING HELL."

I also want to say that his lawyer would have told him "If you're going to make a statement, for the love of god, show me it first before you post it on social media."

And then I also want to say that his lawyer would have said "Holy shit don't call your accuser crazy what the fuck do another statement or edit it out or something."

And then I go back to thinking about how I gave this lawyer the benefit of a doubt after he was printing things on label paper and wondering if I should not have given him the benefit of a doubt.

---

I have to assume that Riddle has records of all these things he claimed.

---

I haven't been following Matt Riddle or his allegations but something about that denial rubs me the wrong way and I can't figure out what (besides my general inclination to err on the side of believing the accuser)

---

Maybe the fact Riddle is a stoner dude bro who is a bit of a dick.

It wouldn't be this but one thing for me is the SPLX hat - a brand owned by Joel Allen, a ref fired from nxt uk after his own allegations surfaced
---

One other thought I had about AEW Dark last night.

Why the fuck is Luther in AEW? This guy is awful in every way. Kazarian couldn't even carry this guy to a decent match.

---

Hes Jerichos buddy
---

someone tell me if Orange/Jericho is worth watching

I feel like the answer is duh, but I don't want to be let down

---

Cole hit Lee with a Panama Sunrise.

On one hand, it was actually one of the best looking PS that I've seen because Lee is agile as fuck.

On the other hand, come on. Seriously?

---

I dont know what that is

---

It's a Canadian Destroyer from the second rope.

Also, Cole succumbed to the BBC like a lot of white dudes.

---

Awwww, Cassidy lost?

---

Taz is absolutely untouchable on the mic. He kills it every time he gets a chance. His promo tonight was awesome.

---

The 8 man tag match was so fucking good. Holy shit.

Everyone killed it in that match, but the stand outs were easily the Lucha Bros because they're the best tag team.

---

Loved that show. Loved the main event.

Sadly our recording cut off im guessing right before the end, how did it end?

---

I'm not through the whole show yet. Just got to Nyla Rose vs. Two Jobbers in probably the most entertaining 1v2 squash that I can remember.

Edit: Nyla getting a manager seems unnecessary. She cuts a great vicious promo. I feel like she doesn't need one at all.

---

AEW is freaking stacked next week. It might be the best show out of the whole Fyter Fest.

---

Jericho vs. OC was pretty okay before the break, but then it became a really damn good match. Orange Cassidy looked great.

---

New rumor is Kairi Sane is now staying.

---

Jesus what a fun AEW night last night was.


---

Great reporting there dirtsheets.

Like the Anthony Barr situation. Was gonna sign for the Jets, went to sleep, woke up going 'um fuck that' and then re-signed with the Vikings.

Except this time, I wonder if she should have...

Tony Schiavone: This match is better than anything I called in 2000.

---

I'm a WCW mark but he ain't wrong

---

So the final 15 minutes, NXT beat AEW 922k to 675k, but still lost the demo 355k to 362k.

Old people really fucking love Keith Lee it seems.

My grandma is watching Keith Lee vs Adam Cole literally right now!

---

Keith Lee is worth watching in my book

---

Triple H: We're testing a lot right now, but the fact that we didn't have to before means that what we were doing before testing was working!

30+ cases the moment they tested.

This is Donald Trump logic shit.

I can't believe EVIL turned heel.
