THE LIAR
All they had to do was
1) Let Cody Rhodes not be a goofball in face paint.
2) NOT make Dean Ambrose mock his best friend's real life cancer.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I thought it was super weird that people thought that. Like, I can't say I expected him to be headlining a show on TNT within months of his departure, but I definitely expected him to be the hottest free agent in wrestling since Cody Rhodes or AJ Styles.

Wrestle Kingdom 13 was a show that was disproportionately held up by its main events because it tried too hard to get everybody on the card and thus NOTHING on the undercard got time to shine. The main events were incredible but it's kind of freaking frustrating looking back on a match like Kushida vs. Ishimori that ended right as it was heating up (especially because now we can never see that match again) and that happened up and down the card. Double or Nothing is as perfectly paced a show as I can remember, so while I don't think anything on this show was quite as good as the best of WK13 (although Cody vs. Dustin might come close to Jericho vs. Naito), it's a better show overall.

I didn't get a chance to catch it but the writeups on the show all sound great. Page having to take second fiddle to Moxley is kinda bullshit but whatever, that's a huge rear end surprise. Moxley doesn't look like a sad hockey dad anymore. He looks like Justin Credible with hair.

I really wanna see the show.
