Highlights from the R.D. vs. Russo about AEW Dynamite Grand Slam:

-Russo hasn't watched any wrestling since he turned 60 in January (except for WWE Raw, which he is paid to do)
-Russo has no memory of Sting's guard bird
-R.D. Reynolds (a fan of AEW) predicted Russo would hate Omega/Danielson since it lasted 30 minute. Russo didn't hate it, but he doesn't care if they wrestle again. That being said, Russo likes Bryan Danielson as a person based on work outside the ring, but is worried about his health given Danielson's injuries.
-Russo thinks Kenny Omega needs a gimmick to stand out
-R.D. could not stop laughing after every time Russo made a disclaimer, which happened a lot
-Russo thinks everyone in All Elite Wrestling is trying too hard to be cool, unlike *various 90's wrestlers*. R.D. Reynolds pressed him, and Russo declared CM Punk as potentially cool, but also mentions he enjoys Hangman Page's and Britt Baker's characters.
-Russo doesn't understand why anyone cares about Cody Rhodes because he loses too much
-Russo: "[Darby Allin] is not going to be cool to a 60-year old." R.D.: "Let me write that down!"

Bryan, Lance and Craig saying Balor should sue WWE for an unsafe and hostile work environment was great :allears:

Yes she did and yes it did

The whole package is they talking up the extreme, no rules, no limits etc only for 1 match to have anything of the sort in it.

Couldn't they just have changed the name of the show if they didn't want gimmick matches? Like, if this was No Mercy 2021 would anyone be mad?

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Dave was trying really hard to forgive the fact that a PPV named EXTREME RULES only had a single Extreme Rules match on it. Yes, the wrestlers are working hard to put in a good show (within the confines of the WWE style), but when the NAME OF THE GODDAMN PPV is EXTREME RULES, putting on a bunch of normal matches isn’t going to cut it, unless they’re kicking it into the sixth gear like Danielson/Omega! This isn’t on the Dan’s for cheering for tables, it’s on WWE for delivering tue lowest-effort PPV possible!

WWE don't care about PPVs cause they literally get paid more to make a Saudi show then everything else they do combined that year or something like that.

Between the Saudi Shows and Wrestlemania they're basically just a content farm.

It's because the Meltzer haters don't actually listen to him and only react to other sites reporting things he said.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Listening to retro Bryan and Vinny talking about 08 era TNA and they talk a lot about Dave dedending and justifying TNA. Hell a long forgotten story from i think 2006 maybe 2007 they keep bringing up was how Dave kept saying TNA waa better than WWECW and should've won worst show and how insane that was. He is overly fair if anything and doeant take hardlines on anything.

Why does every reviewer act like extreme rules ppv matches have to be all weapon/table spamming hardcore matches? Coulda did like a cage match, a falls count anywhere match, a tornado tag, a battle royale, just various stips and gimmicks.

I think they did have this, or at least one or two matches would differ from the generic no rules rules

Like any good cult, they've indoctrinated people to take any praise towards, or even the mention of the existence of, another way of life different from their own as a threat to their own existence.
