To all my 4 and a half viewers, remember when I said that was going to be consistent with the content considering that I posted 4 articles in July but then it turns out that I posted 3 articles in the month of August?
Well, let's just pretend it didn't happen (like WWE's continuity before Vinnie Mac left).
Since both shows were happening around the same time, I figured that I'll give you my brief thoughts on WWE clashing at a Welsh castle as well as AEW going all out once again in Chicago (I know it's not technically Chicago so do not Ben Sharpio outta this, YOU GEEK).
WWE Clash At The Castle.
WWE's first main roster UK PPV since the fall of nu metal and it rocked hard man (get it? Rocked? Nu metal? *sigh* maybe that's why I've written 3 articles).
Pretty much every single match stole the show.
The 6 woman tag match is exactly what AEW needs right now for their women's division and it's a sense of adrenaline and overall momentum.
Gunther and Sheamus is what I expected this bout to be, which is big meaty men slapping meat.
Dominik finally stood up to Rey Mysterio presumably because the kid realizes that Eddie Guerrero is his real Papi.
Seth Rollins legit stomped Riddle's b**** a** not once but twice.
While Drew McIntyre's broken dreams entrance was rad, it wasn't enough to end Roman Reigns' championship reign which feels like it lasted longer than Supernatural.
Maybe they could build a storyline where Sami Zayn wins the Royal Rumble, building further tension between Zayn and Roman Reigns (as well as the entire bloodline) that'll lead to a Wrestlemania main event where he finally turns babyface?
A man can only dream.
Also, no surprise, World's Collide was really good.
AEW All Out 2022.
AEW's PPVs may be longer than a typical YouTube essay video but it's at least okay.
In short, I didn't love it or hate it.
The Acclaimed’s Max Caster referencing Lizzo like every reactionary white dude with a podcast that nobody listens to (oh, like yours Omar?). Nevertheless, the world tag title match was pretty rad and by far, my match of the night.
That post-show scrum was insane, to say the least. First off, CM Punk having a deep voice that rivals Pop Smoke (rip) on top of that bizarre, made his speech all the more awkward.
What's funny about all of this is I couldn't find a single article (whether from reliable sources such as F4Wonline or Fightful) stating that Punk made an attempt to fire his former BFF (yuck Omar, that was cringe) Colt Cabana.
So, congratulations CM Punk for giving MJF a Triple H circa 2002 like babyface pop.
Speaking of people going off, Tony Khan was like, "I got more money than that old white wrestling promoter from the 70s/80s" and guys, what do you expect? He's a billionaire.
So yeah, yay to the Elite guys?
