Whoever’s in charge of booking locations decided to spend a whole month in Canada?
Canada Day is on Saturday July 1st. I guess they didnt want to risk a bad turn out?

I saw a report this morning that if booking the venue for two nights back to back gets them a deal, then they'll do Dynamite one night and tape Collision the next.

Money saving wise this is obviously smart but they're really going to have to do a hard roster spilt as I don't see many people buying tickets to both shows unless it's a great package deal and I would think most would go with the live one.

Does TK want another Rampage? Because if true, doing this to save money will cannibalize viewers and turn a pretaped show into meaningless content.

I like it more with Jonny TV in it, but I think Hobbs isn't a good fit for the groups dynamic. It was fine as a one off to pay back the favor and introduce the group, but that should've been it w Hobbs involvement.

Why do I love Julia Hart's theme so much? It reminds me a lot of the early albums by the female fronted symphonic metal bands, heavy on the doom with a touch of death metal vocals in the background.

That's kind of my jam though lol

Jon Moxley has had more 5 star matches this year than the collective whole of the wwf/wwe between 1997-2011. It’s crazy how much better a wrestler he is than Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero.

I stopped giving Meltzer any weight when he started going over 5 stars. Rollins is right is is silly how much value and power he gets over people for his personal match ratings. It aint gospel. Form your own opinions and move on lol.

Page vs. Mox - Revoution (my personal match of the year at the moment)
Anarchy In The Arena (was fun as hell but still basically just an extended brawl overall, hard for me to consider a "match")
Mox/Claudio/Shota vs Okada/Tanahashi/Ishii (dunno if I'd rate this one that high)

It’s wild to think Kurt Angle and Benoit never had a single 5 star match from Meltzer. That’s his complete bias. He hasn’t reviewed a match based on the match in ages. He just has his pets who feed him info and make him feel warm and fuzzy and he pretends they’re better than they truly are. The Toung Bucks are nowhere near as good as Angle. Can’t fucking touch Benoit. But they’re heralded by Meltzer like they’re the greatest wrestlers on earth. Everything they do is so much better than these guys who were the greatest wrestlers on the planet, legitimately. I’m not upset about Kenny Omega’s matches, because despite being weird, he’s really fucking good and I can really get into his matches.

We should boycott Meltzer forever. Let’s start our own 5 star match rating system and report on them.

Sadly i cant think of any ratings system that is ever gonna be fair. Even in terms of Rotten Tomatoes and Video Games. People will always tank a score cause of an agenda. Even now cagematch has been bombarded w WWE fans who got a whiff of it and now they jack up NXT episodes where Bron/Ilja had (at the time) like a 9.3 rating which is insane to me.

Someone on the old ROH boards used a dollar value as a rating so you'd add up the total value of matches to see if you got your money's worth from the shows. That's the best one I've seen.
