All he needs to do for a heel turn is voluntarily cut his hair.

Why wouldn't you at least do a hair match and have, say, Marko laugh seeing him with his hair shaved, boom, big heel beatdown.

To be fair, that could be a 'Tony or Cody said he's done, the paperwork won't be done until Monday'.

Wasn't he there partly because Alex has been working as Penta's manager?

And not that this should even matter, but Shida barely even has a noticeable accent! English is obviously a second language for her, but her pronunciation is great.

I can't get over how good Kenny opening the envelope only for the shredded pieces of the contract to just.. scatter to the wind is. Sometimes the weather at Daily's ruins segments, sometimes it makes them.

Low key the best part was Kenny looking into the envelope after that, like "Wait, where's the contract?"

I freaking love the use of Where Is My Mind for OC, and starting it at the riff for run(well, walk)-ins and interruptions is so perfect. I will be very mad tomorrow when the Good Brothers beat him up and Omega hits the OWA on PAC.

The only thing I didn't like about Adam Page winning was him drinking from a can of beer afterwards.

They should've had someone run out afterwards and present him with a cup of beer.

That's actually something Page addressed early on the pandemic, he said (in his normal fun way) that he's not drinking from open containers at shows any more for health reasons. Frankly that's probably a good idea even outside the pandemic, given how risky taking random solo cups from the crowd could've been.

I do think bottles might be a better look. Would also open up a possible tag team with James Storm, which would rule.

Also, how much longer is Jeff Hardy shackled to the Fed? I figure Matt can milk one more short run out of the Broken gimmick with Brother Nero by his side (like enough for one PPV cycle, no more).

PAC, but yeah. He also got real disdainful when Excalibur called something by its Japanese name (“Oh yeah, would hate to get hit by (move).”) and straight up forgot the name of who he was talking about during a head on segment when Tony was out of the booth.

And I know some people are visceral about this, but Callis or Taz would be a massive improvement. Even in heel manager mode Callis during the men's title match was throwing in little things putting over PAC and OC and pointing out cool stuff. He used to do the same in NJPW (honestly the worst thing he would do there is poo poo on Charlton and I think it was a genuine mistake on his part because he'd do it with Rocky Romero and Rocky is a quick enough promo that he'd fire back), where he'd never outright bury Okada, he'd poo poo-talk Gedo but constantly talk about how amazing Okada was, or gush about Tanahashi, or sell being terrified of Suzuki.

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

The Thunder Rosa "Loser Stays In Town" match going to a draw is textbook lovely booking of a stip. If the other person can't take the loss, but you don't want to follow through on the stip, don't book the stip.

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.

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.

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.

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

I feel like TK's planning to try and get New Japan to let him use the IWGP US title like that.

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 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.

Because there was an angle where DDP was Christian's life coach

I remember it. It was right before DDP retired and also the first time they kinda let him be himself (I mean, not that the life coach stuff ISN'T him) with actually letting him hit the Diamond Cutter and do the BANG stuff, and amazingly, he started to get over!

***
On a different note, I'm not sure anyone's pointed out that they made sure to have OC get visual pins on BOTH other guys in the world title match (Don pulling the ref out to make it clear he was getting the 3 on PAC and there's the usual thing of having the heel pinned for more than 3 seconds but the new ref needs to sprint down and doesn't get to 3 before the heel comes round with Omega.)

I can see Lana managing Miro, even if others can't. She can be the hot sharp tongued ice queen that directs Miro's mayhem. Or maybe I just want her to walk on Fuego Del Sol in high heels.

I do, but I'd go the other way, have her just be super into him killing guys. Like he murders Marko Stunt and she just starts making out with him over the carnage. Don't just do Lana again, have CJ be something different.

Dark gets 150k-200k views on YouTube. Even if you assume literally every one of those watches the show in full with 100% attention (which lol no) that is 20% of Dynamite's audience. It's fair to assume the other 80% don't know poo poo about what's happening on there.
