819,000 viewers. Great job AEW. You popped your best number in less than two months. And none of the extra viewers will be back next week because you followed up the Punk segment with awful Chris Jericho.

Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley have done the best job so far of completely re-creating themselves once they left the WWE bubble, so much so that if Moxley ever went back to WWE, they almost have to call him Moxley and just leave Dean Ambrose in the past.

Loved Kenny Omega's comments on Punk. I was worried he blindly followed The Elite but seems like he's level-headed and knows there are issues with both sides, not just one or the other.

Smackdown was pretty fun as well. Looking like AJ will get the first crack at Cody which is fine. He's come off a run of losses since re-inventing himself a bit, but it's AJ Styles so I'm cool with it.

Looks like The Bloodline story will continue with new players and new layers. I'm fine with it. Would be interesting to see a babyface Roman come back, reunite with The Usos and face off with Solo, Tama Tonga and The Rock, if that's the way they go. I even saw someone add Sami Zayn in there if it happened at WarGames, which would be kind of fun honestly for a one-off.

Dynasty was pretty good. Ospreay v Danielson mostly delivered as expected though the finish was kinda weird. Okada v Pac was excellent too. And Swerve!! What a great moment.

I haven't watched Dynasty though I do want to see some of those matches. Super excited for a Swerve Strickland title run.

So sad to see that The Acclaimed went from the hottest act in AEW to something so awful and stale. Caster or Bowens has to turn on the other and join Bullet Club Gold. Bowens has the most potential but Caster is the one who needs to get away from this gimmick the most.

Another act that needs a big change is The New Day.

You really do forget how much a hot crowd does for wrestling until you actually see it. One of the best decisions of the new era is bringing WWE PLEs to an international crowd. If Smackdown was any indication, what would otherwise be an OK show should be a lot of fun thanks to Lyon, France.

It's wild to me that Logan Paul has only wrestled 12 matches so far. He is giving the name "part timer" a positive definition. Puts in the work, makes enough non-wrestling appearances, makes himself and his opponent look great in the ring. Yeah it sucks how he got here but... considering wrestling is pretty much 50% nepotism, I'm fine with how he got to WWE.

The little teasers of the Liv/Dom affair are just too much.

When Rhea returns and Dominik turns on her? Dear god Liv/Fom may actually get death threats

Liv/Rhea could turn into the Lita/Trish Sasha/Bayley, Sasha/Charlotte of this decade

I've actually been watching TNA wince they got Ali and Dolph (working Brock schedule) and I'm relatively pleased with it. I think midcard and tag is their strength since most of their guys can't talk, though I respect that they committed to their main faction by making Moose retain against Dolph, and Broken Matt coming back to the one place it's worked for a few months filler world title feud, why not?. Grace is a better women's champ than AEW's though she is 100% going to end up on main roster WWE. I think I'll check out all the PPVs and maybe skip some of the weeklies.

I can't stress how much I loved the Wyatt Sick6 segment. I really hope this works without Vince's meddling, which is what I'll forever blame the handling of Bray Wyatt/The Fiend on.

While the ratings are dropping, I feel like AEW has grown up now that it has some wrestlers fans turned against and had no choice but to go heel like the Bucks and Jericho. The Anarchy in the Arena match was pretty fun.

I've dropped AEW completely. I don't hate it but life just isn't allowing for hours and hours of wrestling every week and I'm just more on the WWE bandwagon to keep up with them as a company over AEW.

It's weird that at this time last year I was so stoked for Forbidden Door and afterwards thought it was one of the best shows I'd ever seen. Now? Don't even know if I'll watch it haha.

Though not exactly in love with wwes programming, I am atleast checking the results and clips to keep up with the story.

Nice to see scumbag MJF back. Adam Cole is gonna have to be the face in their feud I suppose.

Grabbed a summerslam ticket! Section 112 for $138 ... expensive but could have been worse. I don't love the card but figured I'd regret not going.

All In was actually really good! Feels like they've semi-officially made it their Wrestlemania with all the big matches and emotional endings. I dunno if I'll start watching Dynamite on the regular again, but I'm feeling positive about the company for the first time in awhile.

I originally thought the Moxley thing was just to give Danielson a storyline driven feud for early title reign he gets through, but the more I think of it, I could see Khan trying out a "Dominant heel faction" storyline. Plus, whoever wins probably ends up losing to Ospreay, so having a heel faction to overcome sense. But, Moxley as champion is still pretty boring idea overall.

While the matches themselves were mostly good, I'm back to being baffled by AEWs booking. There was so much glut on the Wrestledream card. And the shocking betrayals become less shocking when they happen all the time.

Putting Shelton against Lio in his first match made him look like Brock

I think the Halloween Dynamite was one of my favorites to date, I liked the Private Party win, Lashley being called in after the secondary boss was defeated and the Moxley storyline like feuding old rival Cassidy and chasing off Young Bucks.

I'm too far behind on main roster WWE to catch up and don't watch NXT cause of spoilers, so other than trying to keep up with AEW I watched TNA almost all of 2024 and was pretty happy with it. Their main event scene was good enough with Nemeth, Josh Alexander, Moose, etc. and Hendry on one of those wrestling lightning in a bottle runs from getting over making fun of Top Dolla for jobber "Digital Media belt" when I started watching to the main event of their biggest show, Mike Bailey holding down the midcard belt that has the PPV's best match role (though he's a FA now and rumored for AEW as if they need another Ricochet/Ospreay) along with Ali's temporary stint, Jordynne Grace putting in her time before her inevitable main roster WWE run in an overall shallow women's division, some guys going back to 2004 TNA like Young and Kazarian giving a sense of history even if their matches are average, and some fun stuff like Santino as GM, my crush on their faction heat mouthpiece Alisha Edwards, 58 year old French Canadian Frankenstein, and the new TNA-NXT relationship. They'll probably lose half of these guys in a year but I guess that's TNA.
