Just throwing it out there: Since Judgement Day has been shown to be outmatched by the Terror Twins, why not end a PLE with a surprise AJ Styles return, joining Judgement Day, and doing the “Too Sweet” with Finn Balor while standing tall.
As great as that would be as an OG BC fan, that wouldn’t make any sense, plot-wise. AJ has no reason to beef with either Rhea or Priest. Also AJ will just outshine the rest, undermining the Balor push.
If we could get the Judgement Day is now the proxy for BC in WWE I'd die. Think of the writing potential that would have with other BC alumni in the company
Football though refers to two different sports. The bastardized version of Rugby that has a trophy with a name that would be making more sense in Ten-Pin Bowling [Super Bowl] that USA calls Football and what most of the world (including The UK where @WrestleTalk is based) calls Football that USA and Japan call Soccer.
@@popskies I think it’s harder for idiots like you to compare 6 years booking run to 2 years LMAOOOO 😂 Styles is almost a decade younger during Vince’s run and stop actin like there’s no horrible decisions and booking made during that run? Gtfoh
WWE should let AJ do some work with TNA. It would let AJ go home to his roots while elevating TNA, which in turn would further elevate NXT. This needs to happen
2 references to the 90s live action TMNT movie?!! Plus that Gizmo Duck t shirt yesterday?!!! Get a mustache break in this week and Luke will have to take over for Oli full time.
I honestly hate that this is how they're trying to break up new day. With E gone I'd prefer they just split them on to different shows to do it rather than hate each other.
Most of the criticism of the theme was that the song itself didnt suit, not that hip hop as a genre wasnt suitable for wrestling themes. Bad faith accounts took the criticism out of context on the basis of one tweet and blew it up.
Speak for yourself wwe used hip-hop, pop, and pop rock songs all the time. These fans wants to complained about everything especially if it does not fit the vanilla mode of pure white rock like a led zeppelin. Because they had red hot chilli peppers did a theme and they still complained about that.
You know this was Mone running to the dirt sheets to complain, because the logic doesn’t even make sense. If anything, they probably asked her once they found out she at least knows about or likes wrestling and thought it would be a good change.
luke with his axeman t-shirt wonder if he was at Progress/Noah in london last week, that was one of the few bits of merch i liked the night before in manc
Luke, you undersold the Braun/Bronson match: Bronson Reed THREW A FAN at Strowman. That is the most epically kaiju-ass move I can recall seeing in a long ol' while.
Quite frankly I really don’t like the song, besides the point that I’m not into Megan as an artist it doesn’t fit, I’m not saying it has to be rock but that song just isn’t it
Okay, so if they do add 1 more match to bad blood, which would you say. Braun vs Reed in a falls count anywhere match, or Sheamus vs Pete in a no dq, or last man standing match?
I’d like to see Judgment Day get another heavy soon. Dom, Carlito and JD aren’t shown to be legit threats to someone like Priest. My first choice would’ve been Dijak, but they fumbled him so I’m thinking maybe Josh Briggs. Finn still the obvious leader and big championship player, Dom and JD as the tag team, Briggs as the enforcer that eventually goes for a mid card title, and Carlito eats the pins. Also, feels like Ilya might be on the anti judgement day war games team with Priest and (I’m guessing) Jay (although I’d have him in the og bloodline vs new bloodline match).
Haha. Seeing Raphael from one of my favorite movies... saying one of my favorite lines. I love that every time I see Luke I somehow get a nostalgia fix I didn't know I needed 😂😂😂
"...the various lawsuits he's (Logan Paul) is involved in..." lol - you mean him scamming his followers out of millions of dollars in multiple ways / companies, infringe on US Olympic IP, and suing the guy that exposed his scams & theft to the world, etc?
Only thing that would make the CM Punk promo better was if they brought out Mic Foley to talk for 5min about how dangerous Hell in a Cell is like they used to.
Hear me out: The match between Sami and Kaiser should be for Gunther's title, but Kaiser is the one who wins, giving us Kaiser vs Gunther, and Kaiser wins because Giovanni Vinci screws over Gunther.
what exactly do WWE bring out as a last resort?Blood?in a HIAC match?surrounded by steel,2 wrestlers who wrestle bleeding in a violent stipulation is this much of an importance?it's only expected to happen.. otherwise it ain't a HIAC match.. make it a basic 1 on 1 match (imo it makes sense to be way more violent considering their recent history.. add up a HIAC it's only expected from them to bleed). great delivery on the promo ngl. HIAC matches are for wrestlers to go all out reaching lengths as such is bleeding.. it is the sole reason to have a HIAC otherwise it ain't no different than a anything goes match
honestly, rap can work with wrestling This song in particular just sucks as a wrestling show theme song. A hundred different rap songs could be a better fit.
2:18 I'm not sure who won with this one. Since I work nights, I can skip the opening theme. I may sound like a hater, but I am a father with a daughter.
How could WWE take a deal when Bianca, Jade and Naomi were all saying they were talking to her trying to get her in the ring before this summer??? She can do both look at Shaq and Snoop dogg.
Unpopular opinion: I think the new day should break up. Unless Big E is coming back soon, I don’t see any reason why they should be together still. Yes, they are one of the greatest tag teams of all time, but if Woods wants to do big things in his career, then he’s gonna have to break away from Kofi. Also, if given the chance, I think Xavier Woods can be a really convincing heel. He showed a lot of fire in his backstage exchange with Kofi last night.
Stop trying to break up New Day either. It's fun to see the turnbuckle gimmick come back. I think we might see the collapsing ring sometime soon - if Strowman and Reed ever get the main event, I'll put money on it showing up.
"Visual pin" spots are dumb. In kayfabe, the guy getting pinned knows there's no referee because there's no count and he can clearly hear the crowd count-chanting, so why would he bother kicking out when he can use the time to rest?
Agreeing to do some with an artist without signing anything is the equivalent of telling someone you'll see them later without thinking about it 😂. Megan had no plans with anyone until WWE signed a deal with her. Triple H was moving to work with artists anyway.
Punk's promo made me wonder is there enough to expand year end awards for best/worst promos, and PFC made me think the same for worst/best tag team or groups.
That Iyo/Bianca match was main event worthy I need more of Braun and Bronson using human beings as weapons against each other At this point I just feel bad for PFC.
What if when Raquel Rodriguez returns to help Liv against Rhea. Raquel beats Rhea in a match, which gets Dom's Latino Heat going. He tries to flirt with Raquel, she smacks him, then Liv smacks him and then Rhea sees all of this and she joins the smack Dom party. Rhea leaves with Damian, Liv leaves with Raquel and Dom is left with no one.
I know this wouldn't happen the WWE to call santino and ask him to use the monster Ball match rules or give these to an empty arena match where they can go nuts
Good thing you aren't in charge. Moving Collision to Friday would make zero difference because neither Friday or Saturday is ideal when your key demographic is 18 to 49 year olds. Collision is already struggling as it with upper to mid card AEW talent, so how exactly is making it even more niche going to improve anything?
@@sadboi88 With that show you'd be pursuing an expanded female demographic. You could call it Collision or Rampage. The big push would be for a brand split, and then to use that show to have matches between brands along with prioritizing female titles. It would be a variation from the traditional exclusively female wrestling shows while offering stakes for people to tune in who are fans of AEW or ROH. PS: Their timeslots are their timeslots. I'd say right now making one of those shows its own promotion would help with storytelling in a big way.
Petitioning for this Season of The Monday Night War (Pete’s Final Season) to air on PFK. SUCKS that these final Pete appearances are locked behind a Paywall
Judgment Day is pointless, and so is Sonya Deville's group. We have two teams that don't win. What makes it worse is that JD has the tag titles and due to them losing all the time the titles look worse despite being able to retain them.

Forgot the Wyatt’s promo!! 😭🤦🏻♂️
Bronson tossing the "fan" at Braun was awesome and hilarious! It was even better that the guy was wearing a Yeet shirt😂
I was laughing hahahaha
I was so confused at first like, who's this guy?! Somebody get called up for this?
Then they said Bronson just threw a fan at Braun 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He in fact, got Yeeted
Planted person because they would get sued if it was a real fan
@@raulojeda8567 I was thinking the same thing
No plans for Styles is insane. Its AJ STYLES
FACTS!!!
There's already a bunch of stories playing out. Let's save AJ until we can put a full spotlight on him
Just throwing it out there: Since Judgement Day has been shown to be outmatched by the Terror Twins, why not end a PLE with a surprise AJ Styles return, joining Judgement Day, and doing the “Too Sweet” with Finn Balor while standing tall.

didn't Balor betray Styles to join the Judgement day? and also the terror twins deserve to be turned on considering they turned on Edge
I like that!
@@CulEdzwell the OG Judgement day were rivals to AJ, Finn, and Liv, and Dom too for that matter. So it would make sense if they tell the right stuff
The Ninja Turtles “Football” joke was just what I needed to get my day started off right!
Exactly how I felt about the cricket one 😭😂😂
Agreed haha
Football though refers to two different sports. The bastardized version of Rugby that has a trophy with a name that would be making more sense in Ten-Pin Bowling [Super Bowl] that USA calls Football and what most of the world (including The UK where @WrestleTalk is based) calls Football that USA and Japan call Soccer.
@@chrisw5654 I’m not reading allat 😂😂 and you seem upset that we dominate in any sport no matter what - just look at the Olympic medal counts
*"Stop trying to break up Imperium"*
Well, Imperium was already broken up when Giovanni Vinci was kicked out of the faction, so....
Man Aj Styles gotta have that retirement match with John Cena
It's kinda silly that the Wyatt Sicks can make QR codes but don't know how to use a smartphone to record a video in HD.
All my vhs back in the day had QR codes bro
@@MediCali951 Howdy, Howdy!
Nobody is mad that WWE is using a hip hop song.. The song just doesn't fit.
Free my guy AJ styles
pure fusion collective should just rename to pure losing collective
Or pure boring collective.
I know it's hard to admit for some "Die hard H fans" but Vince's booking for AJ Styles was far better than HHH.
Totally agree!
@@popskies I think it’s harder for idiots like you to compare 6 years booking run to 2 years LMAOOOO 😂 Styles is almost a decade younger during Vince’s run and stop actin like there’s no horrible decisions and booking made during that run? Gtfoh

Here's hoping they also bring back HIAC like it used to be...brutal and guaranteed bloody.
WWE keeps shoving Logan Paul down our throats but they can't come up with any creative plans for AJ Styles? HHH needs to get his priorities fixed.
AJ shoulda asked for that Joe Henry spilt contract
2 references to the 90s live action TMNT movie?!! Plus that Gizmo Duck t shirt yesterday?!!! Get a mustache break in this week and Luke will have to take over for Oli full time.
"Carry Logan Paul in matches" oh boy i can tell you with the limited amount of matches Paul did, there are some he will carry in matches.
I was about to ask what happened to Andy Datson, but apparently he left Wrestletalk in Feb, and they didn't say a damn thing about it.. WTF guys!
It was the battle of the days. Judgement vs The New. That was a good line!!
The WWE Aggression album had more good tracks than not honestly.
I honestly hate that this is how they're trying to break up new day. With E gone I'd prefer they just split them on to different shows to do it rather than hate each other.

That's turtles scene oh yes I wasn't ready 😂 one of my favourite films growing up
But wasn't Meg the Stallion going to do Jade theme song when she was first signed? So how would Mone play a factor🤔
You know this was Mone running to the dirt sheets to complain, because the logic doesn’t even make sense. If anything, they probably asked her once they found out she at least knows about or likes wrestling and thought it would be a good change.
Powerman 5000 reference yes please. Can we get a Creed reference maybe a Nickelback reference or some other 2000s band reference?
Stick Paul in a steel cage with either Lesnar or Strowman and just let them delete him entirely.
With Pete leaving, can we get more Sullivan?
So over Punk and Drew.
Fickle
5:13, good to know wrestletalk illegaly streams raw 😂😂😂

They wouldn't steal a car....
luke with his axeman t-shirt wonder if he was at Progress/Noah in london last week, that was one of the few bits of merch i liked the night before in manc
Loved the editing with TMNT!
Now if you could edit a single word from multiple 80s movies to form a wrestling phrase, that would be too sweet.
Luke, you undersold the Braun/Bronson match: Bronson Reed THREW A FAN at Strowman. That is the most epically kaiju-ass move I can recall seeing in a long ol' while.
AJ should go to TNA for a bit along with the Good Brothers would be interesting tv
We don't want dom with rhea again dom is happy with liv
cap
Quite frankly I really don’t like the song, besides the point that I’m not into Megan as an artist it doesn’t fit, I’m not saying it has to be rock but that song just isn’t it
I think jay should win the IC title it's been years since we have a back to back trade champion.
I love it when Luke adds my childhood references in his videos. One of the best scenes in TMNT
Okay, so if they do add 1 more match to bad blood, which would you say. Braun vs Reed in a falls count anywhere match, or Sheamus vs Pete in a no dq, or last man standing match?

Saw the cricket and instantly thought of TMNT. Ready to see what Bronson and Braun do next
Where is my guy AJ 🤷🏾♂️
Luke....WELL DONE on the TMNT reference. Got a pop out of this guy!
braun vs bronson...i wanna hear the line..."I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU" through out this feud
Kevin Nash-“I never had a problem with Logan Paul”
Love the Ralp Cricket in TMNT OG's!
The visuals and the texts were off but great job as always
"...the various lawsuits he's (Logan Paul) is involved in..."

Props for the TMNT clip
I love how the bile and vitriol between McIntyre and Punk, have now spilled out to make Hell in a Cell mean something again.
Luke having to sub in for Oli but then getting a clip from one of the greatest movies of all time (TMNT!) is a pretty amazing trade off 😁
bad blood was that ppv everyone knew was the craziest. I hope this one doesn't disappoint
Hear me out:
The match between Sami and Kaiser should be for Gunther's title, but Kaiser is the one who wins, giving us Kaiser vs Gunther, and Kaiser wins because Giovanni Vinci screws over Gunther.

For me this was straight up 5 out of 5 show. Which makes me stick to what I think: it’s ok to have a 3 hour Raw as long as the content is good.
No joke I literally just brought up WWF Aggression yesterday while watching Deonte DDJ (who you guys should collab with sometime)
As soon as rap gets involved in anything it’s labeled bad smh
It is bad...
That ain’t rap
honestly, rap can work with wrestling
This song in particular just sucks as a wrestling show theme song. A hundred different rap songs could be a better fit.
@@WillJ3ll0 if you can tell me why without going “mumble rap bad” I will take it into account,
Raps been with wrestling for decades. I can't tell you one damn theme song. it's just noise until fireworks hit.
