Isn’t that the arm he injured? Could he be protecting himself? Maybe but hitting the ropes at jogging speed seems a weird thing to protect against when he's taking all of Osprey and Wardlow's high spots and power moves. |

Still won't make me go out of the way to watch WWE. There isn't anyone I really want to see!

Hasn't it been debunked already?
If not I'm guessing it's because Cody wants to bleed every week.

They should go back to more Ruthless Aggression era which was overall better than the Attitude era IMO.
But I doubt they are going to start blading left and right.

I love OC but I’ve always been a mark for a comedy gimmick. When they work anyway. Orange pulls it off effortlessly… which is very on brand for him.

He's had good moments and nothing wrong with some goofy but he shouldn't be nearly beating someone like Wardlow.

Nah, OC is over and can put on bangers, he shouldn't be getting squashed by anyone. OC v Wardlow was really entertaining, the crowd loved it and I was fully invested by the final stretch of the match. Wardlow got to show a bit more athleticism and personality in the match and Best Friends got a little cameo, I thought it was well booked all round.
I shudder to think how OC would be used in WWE if he somehow ended up there

Released within a year after Vince gets bored would be my guess. Sort of guy HHH would have had on NXT.

OC can go and he's entertaining outside the ring. Danhausen is also entertaining but is definitely more of a comedy jobber imo. I wouldn't put him anywhere near a title unless it's a fluke false-finish in a multi-person match. Personally I'd book him as a ringside interview talent with a penchant for appearing out of nowhere and trying to get interviews during matches.

Dynamite has gone off the boil for me. I thought the main event was completely flat and pointless. There's no real contender to the heavyweight title. The celebration of the tag titles was meaningless and something that has been done endlessly.
I'm struggling to think of any positives at the moment, aside from Christian, but now they've pulled the trigger way too early, and again felt overly pointless.

Yeah, it feels like it's in a slump at the moment - obviously doesn't help with Omega, Bryan, Punk, MJF and Cole out but still.
Jericho/Kingston should've ended a long time ago; I've got no interest in this feud at all.
I'm surprised they've not used the injury opportunity to try and push a few people into the main event - Miro, Black, Joe, Claudio etc. could bring a bit of freshness to the scene.
On the positive side, I really liked the opener (King's finisher is amazing) and I have a feeling that the Christian/Luchasaurus partnership isn't over. Wardlow's still ticking along nicely too.

I really like his mic work - some of his promos are fantastic and there's the 'realness' to them that a lot of guys lack.
Mostly undone as soon as he steps in the ring sadly.

God what the hell was going on there…
I’m not a big Eddie Kingston fan. I get sometimes you want someone who looks like they’ve just stepped off the street but more often than not he feels like he visited a few Wetherspoons on the way.

Oh man it’s night and day. KO knows what he’s doing in the ring and is so comfortable talking. The only reason he’s not been on the world title picture more is because he’s a chubby funster.

Yeah he ain't going to tow the line, unlike WALTER. I'll do whatever you say Vince.
Oh and Jericho got his nose broke as well!

KO knocks Kingston out of the park in the ring - no contest.
On the mic I much prefer Kingston - KO's had his moments with Jericho and his current program but outside of that (and the Steen/Generico feud) he's merely decent imo. I can point to a few great Kingston promo's that work in isolation - with KO I only remember the promo he did on Shane McMahon being really good (and the one he cut on Cornette back in the RoH days).

Vince absolutely loves KO though going off interviews he did after he resigned.
More than deserving of another title run.
Kingston just comes off as that try to hard type. (But not in the gym)

Not a minute too soon. Now drop the Butch gimmick and bring back Pete Dunne.
I disagree with KO just being average on the mic. He’s had classic moments no matter what he’s been handed. Some of the best stuff has been in ring stuff picked up by the cameras. Think there was a triple threat match where he’d made an alliance with Rusev and while beating down the babyface Rusev went for a cover. Owens politely breaks it up and says “C’mon man, I’m right here!” His screaming at Ezekiel about being a liar got turned into a meme too.
Meanwhile Eddie Kingston’s whole deal is he’s just angry about everything. We’ve got Mox for that, thanks.

Can't believe Vince has finally gone - really interested to see what direction WWE heads in after this.
