Goldberg vs Ziggler was a decent squash. I have trouble rating any match that goes that short at *** but maybe. I'd rather watch it than most Raw matches so I guess it's fair with that in mind.

Wish Ziggler got a bit more offense but I enjoyed it. Glacier outlasted Ziggler which is always a fun statistic.

I do think that was a great example of booking hurting star rating for me, since that was recently topical. Rollins just winning strong and clean over Lesnar I just don't really think was the right way to go there. Lesnar's mystique is kinda gone now between that and Mania and I don't really feel Rollins just magically gets it.

Other than that though I dunno just seemed like a formulaic WWE PPV main event to me. Not really sure where the hook was.

Should put to rest once and for all this idea that AEW doesn't qualify as competition.

Not sure it's gonna go the way WWE hopes, though. Seems like it's been proven time and again that the general WWE audience doesn't watch NXT. So the section of the fanbase that would seemingly otherwise be the target of the show is going to be more attracted to AEW.

But I could be proven wrong.

I actually think if WWE really believed NXT could be a strong deterrent to people watching AEW, they'd put it on the Network and make it only available to watch live. Delay the archive for a week.

With them both on television, even if we were to assume they have equal strength in a vacuum (which, again, I don't agree with), it's going to be very easy for people to just watch one live and DVR the other. And because AEW is the new and shiny product, I expect that at least in the short term and/or until AEW shows that its TV is actually bad, people are going to be inclined to choose it over NXT for their live viewing.

This deal, if in fact it's true, says to me that WWE thinks NXT can really only take away a pretty insignificant amount of viewers and they're just okay with that anyway.

Like, I'd think this was a bigger story if it didn't come on the same day that AEW sold out their second and third TV shows.

We keep seeing the evidence that people want an alternative. This is only huge news if you were still one of the people holding onto the silly belief that AEW didn't have Vince tugging on his collar a little bit.

I feel like NXT and AEW fans are more likely to watch AEW weekly shows because, if I remember right, NXT weekly numbers are super down on the Network but Takeovers are still super strong.

Context

During his recent podcast with Christian, Edge commented on if he could wrestle again. Here is what he said courtesy of SEScoops.com:

To be perfectly honest, I think I could do a match tomorrow, Edge said on the show. I might be blown up but Id be okay. Its just from what I know with the WWE medical staff, they wont allow. It is what it is, right?

I did have a doctor tell me that he thinks theyll be able to basically get my neck relatively healthy within 5 years. And then theres stem cells which Im also looking into. Just from the stuff Ive experienced in the last eight years and the things Ive done physically, its like I could pull off one. Im not saying I could pull of a years worth.

Very true, as proven in the past

Face Kings
Bret Hart
Ken Shamrock

Heel Kings
Owen Hart
Mabel
Steve Austin
HHH
Billy Gunn
Kurt Angle
Edge* (debatable, though he didn't turn face until AFTER KotR 2001)
Lesnar
Booker
Regal
Barrett

My pick right now is either Drew or Corbin. I don't WANT to see Corbin win, but I wouldn't put it past WWE to pull the trigger on it.

I'm going to the week 4 AEW tapings in Pittsburgh!

All $20 tickets were gone by the time I got out of the queue in 6 minutes after the sale. I got the last set of 4 $35 tickets. Everything else was $50.

The hype is legit.
