I also feel like it has actually helped Darby.

I think people who focused on Page and Sky getting over miss the point. Sting's there to give Darby the rub and it's working, the dude is hella over and they've used Sting really well, supporting Darby so people don't watch and think of him as Sting's sidekick, but more of a protege.

After seeing Ethan yeet Darby into the wrestlers, I am both excited and worried to see what they'll come up with for Darby's Death Spot in their eventual 1v1.

i definitely teared up when he won. i was a huge sting fan as a kid but my family was too poor to ever go to a WCW show. i stopped watching when WCW died and i started paying attention again around the time sting returned to WWE. his career ended before i knew it and i just assumed i'd never get to see sting wrestle live, and it didn't even really hit me until he came out and started hitting big moves. the crowd chanting "you still got it" really got me.

That's awesome, I can't wait to get a show :unsmith:

All this crowd talk reminds me that I need to finally go back and watch Kenny and Hangman vs Bucks. After the pandemic started I couldn’t make it past the first two minutes seeing a hot crowd in the building without absolutely breaking down.

I want someone to edit the DoN footage so Max just keeps saying "Yo. Yo. Yo. Dustin. Dustin! Look at me! Yo. Yo. Dustin! Yo. Yo." for like a full 10 minutes.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

That was such a weird and funny moment, like Dustin didn't want to sell Caster's schtick and he was like "We're not leaving until you sell my schtick"

I really, really hope that was a spot, because the glare Dustin gave him is either some of the best selling of all time (which, sure, he's the Natural) or he was about one 'yo' from shoot slapping Max.

Stick with it for the aftermath too. The stuff that happens after the match is really good character development for Hangman.

turn it all around

I knew the counter to Sky's slingshot cutter was going to be Sting catching him for the Death Drop but I still yelled like a child when it happened.

Also, my partner and I both yelled out when Sting took his shirt off and I uncontrollably let out a "YAY!!!" when Jungle Boy won the battle royale. I don't know if I've ever yelled YAY unironically before last night.

It was definitely disappointing given their first match. They seemed off, but I did like the last few minutes.

The concept of cruiserweight titles is kinda outdated, the style that made it a viable as an aspect of wrestling shows is used by a huge % of wrestlers now.

Once things open back up I'd actually like to see a belt comparable to the SWA belt from STARDOM where it can only be defended against someone of a different nationality/country

In my household we spent half the match wondering if someone had gotten hurt and was out of it, because yeah, up until the ending sprint something felt real, real off in comparison to what they're both capable of, even with each other.

Sky’s ability to position himself perfectly the way he did while making it look like Sting blocked the cutter made me realize just how effortlessly good he is at this

I really hope Mark Henry's taking JR's place on the Rampage desk, too.

I think Tony said a “top star” in the company will be at the desk with Mark during the scrum, or at least I think I saw that in EMF’s recap.

PNP for the tag titles, Sammy for TNT?

Or maybe Taz demands the FTW title back from Cage and Ricky Starks ends up with it, then Sammy can take it off Ricky once he gets healed up? No, FTW should be the superheavyweight belt for Hobbs if not Cage, so... yeah, they need some sort of X Division title, almost.

I don't think it was necessarily down to an injury, I think they just tried a different style that maybe Britt wasn't capable of holding up to. Which isn't really a problem, in the long run, but did hurt the match.

I really wanted Cage to give Hangman the FTW belt after losing to him. You could do the angle where Hangman is number 1 in the rankings but Callis and Omega keep finding reasons not to have the title match, so Page just starts defending the FTW title against the guys below him on the list as if he's already the world champion until Kenny gets so pissed off he agrees to defend the title at All Out.

Rampage is going to be on TNT, so if it's not moving to TBS with Dynamite, I could feasibly see them keeping the TNT belt on Rampage and introducing a new midcard belt for Dynamite. Otherwise they don't need more singles belts.

Rampage is going to TBS.

It goes: Dynamite on TNT. Rampage starts on TNT in August. In early 2022 both shows move to TBS. Then TNT specials every 3ish months.
