I don't think any of the returns have been terrible so far tbh, depends on how they position Lumis I suppose. Kross was absolutely ruined on his initial call up by Vince (losing to Jeff and then the BDSM ring gear) so he definitely deserved another shot. Hit Row got a huge pop and are a decent injection to the tag division (Swerve is a massive loss but they can definitely work as a tag team going forward). Dakota and Iyo speak for themselves and have been booked well thus far at least.
I can make a defence of Killer Kross (who I know you described as bottom of the barrel and I can see where you're coming from) but the Good Brothers are genuinely the bottom of the barrel. Kross seems to at least understand the finer details of the business and with a manager like Scarlett, there's money there. He's not Malenko or Angle but there's $$$$ definitely there.
If he brings back the good brothers he's really lost the plot. 2 of them are abysmal. Delighted when they stopped showing up on AEW.
So will Hunter bring back the Good Brothers and finally put the Club together and give them a proper story line with Balor and AJ.
There contract with Impact is up any day now.
Thought you were joking but Google says you aren't. Has to be some kind of invasion angle with how Dexter Lumis came back.
Gargano and Candace seem the obvious suggestions for returning as well.
Vince must be turning in his grave.
Hunters WWE really is turning into TNA they are bring back Top Dolla tonight along with the rest of Hit Row of course minus the actual star of Hit Row who is working for another company.
Also, CYN seems to be a bit of a shïtshow...
How could Kross choose WWE over CYN?
I don't mind them bringing back people that were released because Vince released a lot of talented people but Kross and Dexter feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Don't think AEW were ever interested in them even.
People say WWE don’t do long term booking but Shane’s lockbox storyline from 2016 finally played out with all these allegations and hush money payouts.
WWE re-signing all these former WWE guys feels like the WWE is turning into TNA circa 2005
Interesting comment and pretty positive
I imagine both HHH and Cody have sat down and put past differences behind them. Cody definitely has potential to be a 'HHH guy'. Cody has impressed since he came back particularly af HIAC
Strong argument to be made that this undisputed title stuff needs to end and a world title is badly needed for each show
I always thought it would be Cody at Wrestlemania next year that would dethrone Reigns.
Not sure now with HHH. He could strap a rocket to Kross by giving him the win.
Twenty five years ago yesterday summer slam 1997 happened which is best remembered for Steve Austin breaking his neck due to a botched pile driver from Owen hart in the IC title match. I mean for someone like Owen Hart who was so safe in the ring it was very unfortunate that it happened but him not checking on Austin after was a bit poor form.
Yes. Although I’m not sure Earl Hebner has much fondness for them as he twisted his ankle at WM 11 because they wouldn’t get out of the way.
Yeah, it's amazing how decades of abusing steroids and painkillers finally caused a body to collapse..........
If you believe in that sort of thing karma is a great thing.
The Lex Lugar episode is next in the A&E 'wwe legends' series
Looking forward too it, one guy I wouldn't know much about other then the archives from stuff like Monday Night Wars etc
Would of been a few years before I started really watching wrestling. Amazing how such a big athletic guy is now wheelchair bound
Remember when wwe/wwf had all the photographers around the ring
No chance imo. What would WWE get out of it?
It would benefit the other companies far more than it would benefit them.
With things changing now in WWE, could we see more collaborations with other companies?
Though now I think about it, that's not always a good idea.
If HHH brings Tegan Nox back, bringing her back at the Cardiff show would be a no brainer and a nice moment.
Jacob Fatu is top five all-round pro wrestlers in the world.
Yeah. Bloody stupid by Mox there.
Makes me think of Moxley. Last night he was wrestling in a warehouse in front of what looked like a couple of hundred people. Getting wooden sticks jabbed into his head, going through barb wire tables, bleeding (what's new...)
What's he at? He must be on at least at a minimum of a million a year in AEW. How lucrative can a show like that be?
I agree, although it's not a particularly revelatory or insightful point from Amore. Veteran wrestlers on shoot interviews say the same kind thing all the time. It's one of those things Kevin Nash is always banging on about for example.
@Agent Coulson Double J Jeff Jarrett was a member of The Four Horsemen, NWO & The Bullet Club 3 of the greatest factions in the history of wrestling.

He obviously knew what he was doing in the ring and had a good head for business, but he never had the charisma to really get to the top.
The term "mark" gets thrown around alot. But on the AIW indy show tonight (Absolute Intense Wrestling) some guy dressed as Freddy Kruger. Whatever. Nothing new about wrestlers dressing up as horror characters. Could be seen as markish but that's not the mark thing.
So 'Freddy' comes out with the razor glove on as you would expect. Glove gets taken off, they work etc. But at the end Freddy puts the glove on, swipes the other guy on the stomach and hits a million dollar dream for the finish (of course he would... a sleeper get it?)
But what's markish is the glove was genuine razors. Not gimmicked. The other guy had slash marks on his gut with blood. This wasn't a death match. This was a straight up normal match and the mark used real blades.
It wasn't a big "oh my god freddy is cutting him" spot. He swiped and put the sleeper on. M-a-r-k.
