    Smackdown isn't perfect by any means, but there's some really good wrestling happening on that show right now. We didn't even have AJ or Shinsuke wrestle on TV tonight and we got two really strong 20+

  • Not that I agree with how they're going about it, but when someone does dethrone Lesnar, it'll mean that much more -- the anticipation build to him finally losing has been quite the long road, and in

  • Takeover was great per usual.  Didn’t think it was their best show but that’s just because everyone is always amazing. I’m pretty stoked for tonight.  We’re staying at the same hotel as the wrest

And he’s only 67.  Wrestling sure takes its toll.  My dad is 80 and still mows and weed-wacks his own lawn every week.  He also just removed an old glass block window and installed a new one last week.  I only helped him position the new one.

The Rotundas have experienced a lot of bad news in the last couple years

How do you have John Cena tap out in his final match?  Triple H is bad at this.  The crowd chanted “You fucked up” as Triple H came to the ring celebrate Cena’s retirement.  He was then booed soundly when he entered the ring.  What a jabroni.

Cena pretty much booked the show. Guessing thats what he wanted. Go out on your back, or tapping, I guess.

Do we know this for sure?  Vince Russo thinks it was all about Triple H booking his own ending for Cena due to him trying to bolster/protect his own legacy.  He made good points — Gunther already lost to Sami Zayn and Jey Uso but can’t lose to Cena in his final match?  Not to mention, Cena’s motto is “never give up” and they have Cena tap out?  He was literally wearing socks that said “never give up.”  Why ruin a bunch of kids’ memories in a meaningless match?  Strange.

Way late to the response on this, but I can't think of a better way to call it a career than for a guy whose motto was never give up, to finally have to give up. I mean hell, this whole retirement tour was basically Cena giving up wrestling. It made sense to me.

The CM Punk / Chicago Bulls intro was pretty cool.

After weeks of build up, Danhausen was in the crate.  Apparently Jericho is still under contract with AEW after Tony Khan executed an injury clause in his contract.  The crowed literally booed and had no idea who this bum was.  They just introduced the guy for the first time and also effectively ended his WWE career at the same time.  It was the worst crate reveal since The Gobbledy Gooker.  Triple H should be fired.  My guess is that his original plan was to have Jericho in the crate but he was duped by Tony Khan.  I can’t imagine that Triple H thought this clown act would go over, unless he is worse than I thought.  Awful.  Vinnie Mac can’t come back soon enough.  I feel sorry for anyone who actually pays for these awful PLEs.

Why would Jericho ever be in the crate?

Why would Danhausen?  Why would anyone?  Are you serious?  🤣

It’s a stupid gimmick to try to get someone over cheaply.  Triple H made it disappoint to the highest degree by using a guy that no one even knows or cares about.  He literally got booed out of Chicago.

Jericho’s original entrance into WWE was the whole Y2K gimmick with a countdown popping up over the weeks before he debuted.  It’s really not that much different than a crate with a deadline to open and frequent reminders.  It’s all about the build up and surprise reveal.

Are you holding out hope for that because uh...don't think that's happening.

The latest rumor is that Vince McMahon is looking to buy back the WWE from TKO with Saudi investors.  Problem is I doubt he would get rid of his own son in law.

I like Danhausen as he is Svengoolie in wrestling form. Since we were in Chicago and he's friends with CM Punk and Danhausen, I thought he would come out with him. Now that would have made it work. 

One backstage segment and hes good again

I’m guessing he won’t even or will barely wrestle.  He’s on the R-Truth gimmick plan.  Mostly used for comedy, just for the merchandise sales.
