I liked the show but I thought it was a lot heavier on talking and out of ring action than the usual Dynamite, and probably not everyone will feel that.

Is this actually true? There was an episode a few weeks back that felt like it had 3 or 4 talking segments back to back and the pacing was wildly off. That episode felt like a huge drag.

How many non-wrestling segments did they do last night? Whatever they did, it flowed a lot better and there wasn't a part of the show where I was groaning that we were getting another talking segment like we had a few weeks ago.

I know a lot of people were saying this was one of the best episodes ever and I wouldn't go that far, but it was another one of those episodes where I never thought about what time it was or how much time was left because everything was just firing really well. Not a best-of-all-time episode, but really solid IMO.

They call Biden "Demo Joe" for a reason.

Well, they don't actually call him that at all but if they did this would be why.

I thought it was pretty weak for sure. The Jericho promo was fine and Miro beating Kip for 2 minutes was good but other than that, nothing really struck me as great.
I haaaate the QT Marshall/ Cody stuff, I don't know what it is but it just does nothing for me.

Also... no belts in the limo! AGH!!

I see no mention of OC vs. Penta in your post, so I must conclude you missed that match. Go watch that match, it was very good!

It would be an interesting way to trend Kip facewards if you wanted to. Miro keeps booking them in tag matches and letting the other team destroy Kip, only coming in to break up pins. Then after about 10 minutes he drags Kip back to their corner, tags himself in, and cleans house, before winning and leaving Kip lying in the ring.

So does Blood and Guts wrap up the whole Pinnacle vs Inner Circle storyline? I feel like it would be weird to have a match where everyone gets to fight everyone else, but that isn't the culmination of the feud. Unless someone turns, are they going to have one off matches for weeks afterwards?

I'd imagine we have at least one or two matches at DoN as a result of B&G.

Who knows? An exploding barb wire death match didn't finish the Omega/Moxley feud, so it's really a coin-toss.

It rules imo that the go home segment to a huge gimmick dynamite was All Ego Ethan Page beating up the champ and a legend to no reaction. The Era of Ego is now on national TV. It's not confidence.

They’ve already done MJF-Jericho and Wardlow-Hager. I can’t imagine there’d be much need for a Sammy-Spears match post-Blood and Guts. I could see them doing a FTR-Proud and Powerful follow up, especially if the Pinnacle wins and they wanna build up PnP for a push - basically “you might have won that match, but you couldn’t take us head-to-head” - but they could just as easily not do that

I think it's too soon to find opponents for them and it doesn't make sense for them to miss the PPV so I am currently expecting Jericho vs. MJF at DoN.

Personally, I would avoid FTR vs. PnP until it's for the belts, but that might be a while. Bucks might be holding those things for a while.

Trios feud of SFTR vs SPNP gets around that issue while building toward a 2023 feud when the Bucks finally drop the belts.

B+G is probably a pivot point where a bunch of stories get set up though, so yeah, I'm not betting much on any individual part moving forward.

The feud seems too new and there are too many matchups that still need to happen (MJF vs Jericho, FTR vs PNP etc) but Blood and Guts really feels like the type of match that should be the blowoff of the feud

I wonder who will be the one to surrender? I could see it being Jericho and that leading to the Inner Circle falling apart.
