Episode 61 - Eight Away from 69! WWE and AEW News - a podcast by Brothers of Discussion - A Wre

The Brothers of Discussion go over the big press conference for AEW. Sure, it was exciting, but did it really need to happen?
They also go over whether RAW is really making changes, with the return of Hulk Hogan and John Cena, the fact that SmackDown was the best show for the WWE this week, and your official NXT UK TakeOver Blackpool Preview!


Show Notes

AEW
Very silly presentation by AEW
Felt like someone who wants attention so they post on social media that they’re going to start a new diet
Unless I’m mistaken, they weren’t in need of any more investors
Very excited that Mr. Garrison from South Park was the master of ceremonies
Pac and Chris Jericho were fun, and Billy Gunn is a producer
They need about 6 more Chris Jerichos (not Tye Dillinger, not the Revival, Y2J’s)

NXT
Johnny Gargano gets his match with Ricochet
As if we didn’t know it was coming
DIY keeps getting the hints and the nods
Aleister gets the Undertaker treatment, with lights going out, all non-Aleisters poo their pants over his music, actually, being projected on the jumbotron, he looked like the garage scene from “IT”, playing the role of Pennywise
Bianca Belair sends Nikki Cross to the main roster on her back
Tag Team division appears to be growing again
Street Profits are back, and they got to open doors for 10 minutes
Aichner and Barthel get a victory, yay! Or should i say, NEIN!
War Raiders between poop out of Undisputed Era
EC3 says goodbye with Adam Cole’s kneeprint on his skull

NXT UK
Gallus vs Mustache Mountain and Pete Dunne
30-minute epic
Camera work screwed up some false finishes
Ligero vs Joseph Conners
Looks like El Generico vs the Wolfman from Harry Potter
Ligero wins with a spinning DDT
Tyler Bate corkscrew 1080 off the top rope
Joe Coffey gets the pin...will Blackpool follow main roster 50/50 booking






NXT UK TAKEOVER BLACKPOOL
Rhea Ripley (c) v Toni Storm for the NXT UK WOmen’s CHampionship
Pete Dunne (c) v Joe Coffey of Gallus for the NXT UK Championship
Moustache Mountain v Zack Gibson and James Drake 1st NXT UK Champions ((Grizzled Young Veterans, wtf?)
Dave Mastiff v Eddie Dennis
Travis Banks (Kiwi Buzzsaw) v Jordan Devlin (the Finn Balor trainee)

RAW
Fuckin Hulk Hogan has an emotional promo
Still bad idea
Great way to send Hogan off into the sunset
Revival vs Gable and Roode is a good wrestling
Do we care?
Can it get to Uso/New Day/Bar level?
Everything else really sucked
Elias and Corbin
Brock and Strowman
Mixed Tag with Apollo and Moon vs Mahal and Alicia Fox
Moment of Bliss
Rollins and Ambrose
Cena + Rollins + Finn was kind of kewl, but a reminder we’re back to people declaring themselves into the Rumble instead of earning it :(

SmackDown Live
Daniel Bryan makes us all feel bad, not me though, I had vegan chicken nuggets for dinner
Rey and Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe and Almas
Pretty god damn good/Almas can even make Mysterio look good
The Bar and Usos deliver AGAIN
Nakamura and Rusev is really good
I think Nakamura looks more like the rockstar again
Great storyline showing the heel being correct about the accusations being thrown
When are Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair going to get arrested for stealing another show?
Are all of the new characters debuting at Royal Rumble? The “New Watch” continues…

Matt, ongoing segments:
Evolution of Royal Rumble Picks
Tally of “New” things on Raw and Smackdown after plummeting ratings
