Mox is probably going to Wrestle Kingdom. I haven't watched all of them so maybe I just missed it, but there's been no sign of him in Renee's twitch streams.

100% agreed. Grats to Cody and Brandi.

Part of me wonders if Mox is at home with Renee for a while or something because I find his TOTAL absence for two weeks kind of strange. I hope now that it's been two weeks they hold off for some bigger, Austin-esque "poo poo just got real" moment, BUT if they were gonna do that, they should've either had Kenny do something more brutal or do more to sell the brutality of what Kenny did to explain the absence.

I was waitin' for that guitar string tonight and we got PAC instead. I think they may hold him off for a while now because when he does come back, it's time to start building to the match at Revolution and that's still a while away.

I agree if he was gonna be off TV for a month or more, which does make the most sense, they should've given him something to really sell. But I guess it's hard for him to, like, put Mox through the stage and still get across that he was running the gently caress away. All told, I guess a weapon shot, four V-Triggers and a OWA is about the best you can do if Kenny is splitsville right after the bell. :shrug:

lmao he ain't leaving his pregnant wife at Christmas for two weeks to go have a match with the rusty old bones of Kenta in a 25% filled dome.

And if he was, they would've shot an angle at the Budokan.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
mox is probably taking a break and spending time with his wife because he was the workhorse champ for the company during a global pandemic for 9 months and they said from the start they would be writing in breaks for wrestlers to take extended vacations during, it was a whole part of their "better for workers than the fed" push.

good show, i was working during it so i didnt pay like 100% attention but i never do anyway bc of RAMPANT unmedicated adhd. i really liked the good the bad the hungiee and i hope we can see more of hangman's smile. rosa and britt is turning into my favorite feud in the company, and i am 100% on board with the kenny-callis stuff because i love me some don callis and i love me some mid-match heel promos. loving LOVE em.

Mox getting a break is good. They don't need to write some injury angle to cover for it, as long as his return is rad, which I'm sure it will be. He can literally cite needing a break and wanting to spend time with his pregnant wife after being a fighting champ for nearly a year. It's fine.

i think tentatively you can slide Jericho in there, maybe Mox, but I don't think so.

what about Kenny's "elevating young talent" match? Jungle Boy probably? face Sammy? :ohdear:

Dustin Rhodes will face Kenny for the title with a build that is so good people will complain it wasn't on PPV and that Dustin should have gone over. It will do 1.1 million viewers overall.

I am sorry that I think Dustin Rhodes will only out draw the #2 Wrestler of the Year Jon Moxley by 200,000 viewers.

They will also win the 50+ demo.

I know people are getting weary of him, but this version of Kenny v. Orange Cassidy could very easily whip a ton of rear end, especially if they set it up as an ego-fueled Kenny picking a fight with a disinterested OC to prove some imaginary point

Good show again tonight, nothing mind blowing but pretty solid overall and I’m interested in pretty much all the main angles.

Obviously happy for Brandi and Cody, but the stark contrast between Mox’s announcement and theirs is hilarious to me, if completely expected.

So does Archer get his own crew for a 3 way feud or do they find a 4th for Eddie and wait on Pac vs Archer.

Or does Archer just go it alone.

Yea I'm not vibing with it at all. I'm liking Top Flight who has been around about the same amount of time a lot more.

I wasn't all that interested in this episode in general, turned it off during the big tag match, I kind of realized I was watching AEW a lot of the time for Moxley. Right now i'm not interested in much outside of Hangman's deal with Dark Order. usually this time of year i'm hyped as hell on wrestling but I stopped watching WWE, I'm out of the loop as hell on NJPW and AEW is just kind of there to me right now. I did enjoy Triplemania a lot though. I'm missing the Cody open challenge because it was a weekly hook to see who he'd have a match with and a majority of those matches were good to great. Everything feels kind of like it's in holding pattern right now unless you are vibing with this Kenny/Callis thing and honestly I don't care that much about it.

Yeah, I definitely would love TK to put a restriction on calling other wrestlers bitches at the very least to force the promos to be more creative, same with the weird misogyny & cuck joke, but also they’re heels, so I think that buys a little more leeway when it comes to what kind of shithead they can be.

I do think the Acclaimed has a high ceiling once they spend more time with each other in the ring and can build up some tag team chemistry. Ultimately, I think this is a fine experiment to get them some exposure on the big show and see how they handle it before heading back to Dark for their reps.
