I skimmed through the main event because I was tired but yeah otherwise that has to be one of the strongest episodes of wrestling TV I've ever seen

Re-watched Jericho's promo. Man, he's just on another level right now.

Honestly, his promo and the way that show ended, it is hard to imagine people still think it is a mistake to make him their first champ.

I like where this is going now with the faction and everything. We could not have anticipated that though.
Of course not. I'm not trying to sound like or be an asshole, sorry if it came across that way.
FYI, you don't need to watch Raw or Smackdown. If Vince somehow uses someone with amazing talent properly, you'll hear about it and can tune in the next week only to discover that he has squandered the opportunity and fucked up their booking by reversing the great thing that happened previously.Well, the victory goes to AEW this week. While NXT had the best match (WALTER v Kushida), AEW was just loaded top to bottom. Not to mention that crowd was just great. NXT needs to explore the idea of moving to slightly bigger facilities. While the Full Sail crowd is always rowdy...it being so small does not have near the impact of a larger crowd. I still can't get over that we get 4 hours of this quality every week. I almost don't want to watch Raw or Smackdown any longer, but I just keep that slim hope alive that Vince will actually use the amazing talent pool that he has.

People doubting Cody is like, all that seems to happen. But yeah it's daft to doubt it. Two of the best character / storyteller guys and two great in ring performers from the same perspective.Even more than that, people thought Cody/Jericho as the first title feud was a mistake and they are completely nailing it.
I legit laughed out loud at that moment
Well if he wants alot Money he knows where to go if he wants creative control he also knows where to goThe whole situation with Dragon Lee is interesting.
He's been pulled out of the NJPW tag league due to CMLL requesting it and may not get to go back to NJPW anytime soon.
Meltzer made it sound like CMLL doesn't want ROH to sign him either.
Theoretically, this leaves him with WWE and AEW as potential options.
I guess we all owe him a "thank you".I'm not sure where AEW would be right now without Jericho, but they wouldn't be doing as well.
lol at the idea of the WWE turning down money

I mean I understand why they did it. But golden NXT days are pretty much over.

Like I said. Only benefit is all the hard working people there are finally gone get paid. Hope they save their money.
Edit: is NXT still on Hulu?
I don't disagree with any of this. That's pretty much what will most likely happen. Sadly.I wouldn't say that. NXT is still just as good as it always was. Leaving the Network hasn't made the product any worse. The problem is they're running their studio show against a huge production being put on in front of thousands of people. Both weeks they've run head to head people have said NXT had better matches, but AEW is new and fresh and a spectacle.
The real problem will come up if Vince ever decides he needs to take control of NXT to bump up the ratings.
That's the thing I'm iffy about. I'm not as familiar with lucha as you and OhSatan are, but I was just thinking that this might be a grudge that CMLL may not be willing to drop for awhile, and I just don't know how willing NJPW would be to go against CMLL's wishes, even months from now.I doubt RoH cares about their relation with CMLL and are more than willing to sign Lee to keep Rush happy. I doubt he signs with AEW or WWE. He cares a lot about workrate and both companies don't have a strong jrs division. In RoH he can do NJPW ( when things calm down), BOLA and whatever he wants in Mexico.
This continues to be the most interesting story in wrestling aside from ratings. RoH's reaction should be interesting since they love Rush and the NJPW partnership seems to be on life support.The whole situation with Dragon Lee is interesting.

He can't be seriouslmao Kevin Smith said that he and Jason Mewes were supposed to be on Smackdown last week, but after showing up at the AEW show they had their appearance cancelled.
