WCW Nitro vibes, overall MUCH better episode than last week. Chris Jericho is playing his Hollywood Hogan role perfectly. Good shit!
I feel like this ending was overbooked as fuck but...
...I love it??? Everyone was booked correctly for what their role was supposed to be in those last minutes. What a great show.
Yupppp this. Love how they're setting up the card and not randomly throwing matches together.It seemed chaotic but when you think it through they set up Page vs Hagar, Young Bucks vs LAX, MJF or Dustin vs Sammy, Jericho vs Cody, Jericho vs Darby.
It all made sense!
We get to watch more of this next Tuesday AND next Wednesday!Guys
We get to watch more of this next week.
And the week after that...
AND THE WEEK AFTER THAT
This show is fucking great! Can't believe two hours just flew by.
I'm honestly really surprised at the MJF bit. Tons of credit to whoever decided not to turn him against Cody. This is way more interesting.

So, serious question: was that the best televised episode of a pro wrestling promotion all year? Because I think it might have been. They got so much accomplished, and the layers storytelling at the end were incredible.
More important than bringing back lapsed fans, they'll make brand new fans of wrestling. People who were babies or not even born when Nitro vs RAW was a thing.If they keep this up, they will absolutely bring back fans who exited stage left over the last 15 years. I've already had non fans comment to me that they've seen clips on social media and that it "seems cool". My son doesn't watch wrestling at all (although he likes the games) and after watching part of All Out Darby was immediately his favorite. He asks me every time he knows I'm watching wrestling of any kind "how's that skateboard guy doing?"
Again with this shit from Bea. Kahn needs to put his foot down.
