Brodie Lee playing Vince made me chuckle.

There was some great moments in the Hardy Jericho promo. Lee mentioning the sneeze thing was hilarious. Pretty solid episode.

I didn't think the exalted one would have a sense of humour but here you go :lol: At least he's not generic dark heel.

Hardy and Jericho's promo was hillarious. Only thing i would have done is have Havoc go over Cody to establish him as a big time talent (then again honestly, maybe ROH and AEW should swap Jay Lethal and Havoc).

Oh was that what it was? I wish I wasn’t so out of the loop on stuff like that because I was really confused why the exalted one is eating steaks in a suit lol

Yep, McMahon is notorious for eating steaks at pretty much every meal. He also has a huge phobia of sneezing and is highly irritated when people do it around him.

AEW is introducing a new midcard title called the TNT Championship (basically a TV title).

I don't like All japan's Gaora TV title for the same reason i don't really like this, just feels very weird cause if that relationship fails after 3-4 years, then it won't be good.

I've long thought that WWE should have a TV title that has to be defended on every Raw and Smackdown. Thought that would be fun and you could realistically hot shot a title like that around a lot since it's defended twice a week so you could use it to spotlight a lot of different guys for short periods of time.

Well the observer said that realistically this would be more like an upper mid-card/borderline main event belt.

So i'd imagine it would be closer to the ROH TV title (or at least what it was) where a top 5-10 wrestler would have it. In fact i could see Cody being the first champ or someone like Chris Jericho.

Would love if this gave Darby a bigger push but showing half of the bracket and guessing Cody is more likely.

They've been willing to do the unexpected before but can't see it not being Cody vs Allin now. Guessing it's going to end Cody and Archer.

Yeah they kinda made it obvious with the bracket and post match. I’m thinking Cody and Darby win their openers, then Cody beats Darby, and then loses to Archer.

Surprised they didn’t do Kip vs Colt... I’ll be so pretty upset if Dustin goes over Kip, Dustin needs be strictly putting the younger guys over

That reminds me of Bill Watts when he ran Midsouth Wrestling, and some young up and comer named Sting was brought up.

Cody can learn from Watts' mistakes. Watts did even worse developing Ultimate Warrior. At times, that was the best wrestling organization of its era, but Watts' ego got in the way. He also came up with the dumb idea to disqualify any wrestler who caused his opponent to go over the top rope - apparently the idea of using padding on the outside of the ring never occurred to him - but that's another story.

Marko Stunt getting ragdolled will never get old :lol:

Jake Roberts is such an amazing promo as is Brodie Lee, he's pretty unique for a cultist leader i must say.

I can see Cody and Archer both going to the finals (i think Sammy beats Darby and then loses to cody whilst Archer murders everyone on his side).

I think that Archer will beat Cody fairly convincingly to become champ. Its kind of been the story of Cody, get up to the top only to be completely destroyed. I think Archer's run with the IWGP U.S title also holds him in good stead as well to get a good run with the TNT title (i mean he'd be a strong choice). I mean i do think Cody will take it from him eventually but only down the line.
