His career revival is one of the best feel good stories in wrestling. Left the business very bitter and felt that nobody missed him. Then years later he gets roped into doing a podcast and discovers how appreciated he really is by everyone at large and any bygones that did exist became forgiven over time.

The opening tag match was the obvious blowaway match of the show, but Darby/Havoc was perfect for what it needed to be. The entrances were great, they set it up well where suddenly this random number one contenders match felt like the most important thing on the show. The match itself ruled and didn't overstay its welcome
Weird to see the coffin drop be used in a traditional top rope finisher sense, I don't know if I've ever seen Darby actually win like that?

I think he did it on AEW Dark as well. Looks like it's a high risk move but definitely meant to hit hard when it lands.

Yeah I forgot about that too
I've seen him in EVOLVE matches where he spams it to the outside because that was always his thing, just throwing himself at people to hurt them. Seemed like he transitioned into making it a thing he misses until he finally hits it
Not in I don't believe the story as in How didn't he know what was going to happen.
CMLL is probably mad that other companies finally started to notice their talent and started poaching it. The grudge is against Rush and Lee is the scapegoat. Like, they are fine with Mistico, it was just Lee disobeying the order and doing BOLA. But CMLL does not have as much to offer NJPW and RoH, as both companies do not want to expand to Mexico. On the contrary, the USA and Japan are an important income for CMLL luchadors. Add that Lee cares a lot for workrate (in every interview he says that) and you can see how he will end up in either RoH and NJPW. I could see NJPW officials telling him to wait for the tag league to end, or Hiromu to return to bring and sign him.
The Wednesday went from a nothing wrestling day to the must see out of nowhere, The best workrate and the best venue are back!
Now they just need to confirm the return of La Griega to turn it into a blessed day.
Only the first day they turned on the restrictions all the days after save for one had no lock to watch live.
NJPW wants Dragon Lee bad, like really really bad. They made clear that they wanted to sign him when he was under CMLL and that would have been bad optics, I can't imagine that now that he is free they will take into account their feelings.
The Ace Returns
Getting to meet her is still top best things that happened to me this year
You know what are great matches that still stand up?
Nakamura vs Roode I & II
I'm glad the Coffin Drop is his finisher. I always thought it was the most devastating looking top rope move, since it looks like he is just landing with his full weight on his opponent. It's better than the pinning combination he used before.
I think chucklehead is going to be my go to insult these days.
Like look at this chucklehead. Seriously tho, I thought it was a great TV match with a hot crowd. Super fun.

Kenta vs Roode was much better than both Nakamura matches tbh
Edit: wth is his wwe name? I forgot.
I remember enjoying them but haven't watched them since they happened.
Here's hoping dark order gets a gimmick change. The cheap gimps are the worst.
Closest was Almas/Gargano and I gave a 4.75. Don't think any other NXT match hit 4.75 in my book, a few 4.5s for sure.
Hasn't been a 5 star WWE match since Goldberg squashed Brock at Survivor Series, prompting the posting of wcwatlanta.gif again and again
Before that it was Punk/Cena MITB
Right? Also they should do a talent exchange to get more of TNA's knockouts involved.
They've got to build the women's division. I think they've done a decent job so far, but there remains a lot of work to do.

By whose standard? Cornette or Meltzer? I've heard about Cornette star rating recently, but I also don't know anything about that system.
OP
OP
Meltzer was going to give Jimmy Lloyd vs. Masashi Takeda 4.5 but the scissors pushed him over the edge, "you love to see it" said Meltzer on The Different Boy getting impaled and thinking he was going to die
Missing Tanahashi vs Suzuki and, like, three Okada vs Tanahashi matches. Clear bias against the Once in a Century Talent? That's a paddlin'.
Godddam, young lion Tana was jacked. The LA dojo guys have to up their game.
You're right I was unfair to Minoru Suzuki, who had a 5 star match vs AJ Styles
By mine, I don't give a fuck about what some old geezers think
