I just love when one of the few times I want to watch Smackdown,it's pre-empted for high school football. At least it comes on at 11 so I can DVR. I know it's Friday,and it's probably a local thing around here,but I question that decision.

I knew he was a coach or producer now. He had one specific niche and that was TNA/Impact X Division. That was his sweet spot. Otherwise, he's just useless

Head of talent relations I believe.

He's not a WWE guy for sure. But, he was a heck of a tag team specialist as well. Him and Kaz were really something special in TNA, ROH, and NJPW. World Tag Team Champions of the World FTW. Then Chris got old.

He also won the ROH world title at one point. Dude had a pretty epic carrier to never make it WWE, in the era where TNA was its biggest competition.

Oh yes. I know. I have seen it all. Doesn't mean I agree with it. I respect the hell out of the career he has made for himself, but he's one of those guys I just never "bought " kind of like AJ Styles. A lot of flash. But not a lot of substance.

We have a fundamental difference of opinion there. AJ is the prototype for his era IMO.

But hey, it takes all kinds.

Me too. Just finished it. Excellent show. Again, I think Collision was the superior show this week

I just finished Daniels vs Juice. Chris needs to retire. Juice is one of my favorites currently.

Collison has been the better show more often than not. I was worried it would end up like Thunder. But it's ended up being the marquee show in my mind.

I can appreciate this take. I honestly enjoy both shows fairly equally. It's a week to week basis on which ends up the better show for me. I love that they both have their own distinct vibe and the soft roster split really works.

This week's Dynamite has two matches that are gonna be fantastic plus the DDR Battle Royal.

I was skeptical of the soft split. But it has really been working. I feel like it's given Ricky a slot where he can shine. There are weeks that Dynamite is better. But generally I have preferred Collision. Part of it is the "vibe" I think. But having Ricky and BCG as the feature acts sure helps.

I'm amazed that Daniels is out there wrestling anymore. I'm surprised he didn't follow Kaz to Impact and form the tag team they had going. It would protect both of them at their age(especially Daniels) ,and not use him as a singles guy.

I need to catch up on Collision however. Sounds like some good stuff. It will be good to check out the actual wrestling instead of people going on about Tonys tweets 24/7.

The top 10 of Pro Wrestling Illustrated's women's list for 2023 revealed - NoDQ.com: WWE and AEW Coverage

Pretty cool list. I can see why Hayter is in the top ten despite her being out for a big chunk of this year. She had a big year until the injury. I've heard good things about Gulia.. Tony should look into bringing her in on one of those Forbidden Door type shows when some Japanese talent comes in. Deonna and Grace is hard to disagree with as is Athenas work in ROH as a heel. Rhea goes without saying.
