Episode 125 Show Notes
WWE Wrestling News
John Cena: “ There is no one ‘Top Superstar’
“SmackDown, Raw, NXT, you don’t have one person you go to see. If you go to a show, you go to see eight or nine people. I don’t think there’s ever been more potential under one roof than right now. The Attitude Era was the era of universal popularity. The opening match had a definable storyline into the main event and everyone in-between had some sort of narrative. Now, we have a few loosely crafted narratives and some big storylines and a lot of matches for the sake of action. But I also believe that’s on the performers to make something out of that…I do think there’s never been more athletic talent under one roof than right now.”
Thoughts?
Wwe website:
WWE Money in the Bank 200 is coming on Sunday, May 10
What does this mean?
McIntyre, Edge and Undertaker docs
Review
Edge got offers from AEW
Nia Jax returns
Tells a story about Alexa refusing to throw people under the bus even though she’s getting injured :(
NXT News
Io Shirai wins the first chance to job out to Charlotte Flair
Pretty lame ending
Thank god Chelsea Green didn’t win
Who can actually beat Charlotte?
Also...when did they switch the NXT Women’s Championship back to be the ‘women’s’ belt and not just ‘a’ belt
Indus Sher vs. Ever-Rise
This reminded me that this is a development brand
Ciampa vs Gargano
The ending would have been better if Ciampa and Gargano couldn’t hit each other anymore
I think it was fun to watch.
AEW News
Jericho pretty good on commentary
Boosted by AEW roster encircling the ring
Jake the Snake with another strong promo for Monsterhawk
Shawn Spears loses again
