AEW Dynamite 8/16/23 Review - THE WORST MATCH IN DYNAMITE HISTORY, MORE ALL IN MATCHES

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for August 16th with Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett in a Texas Chainsaw Masssacre Deathmatch, a match we would find out later was for a good cause. Sadly, that good cause did not include the viewing experience, and it will go down as the worst match in Dynamite history. Sure, there may have been some awful matches before, but none that dragged on for as long. But on the bright side, MJF and Adam Cole did the best promotion yet for All In at Wembley Stadium, while the rest of the card was fleshed out with very mixed results.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for August 14th with a crowd in Winnipeg that wasn't buying what they were selling. Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus had a bad match with a worse finish to keep their feud going even longer, while Shinsuke Nakamura didn't have much to offer beyond the obvious when it came to explaining why he attacked Seth Rollins last week, and The Judgment Day got its killer instinct back by the end of the night.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Sound Off 821 - CM PUNK AT IT AGAIN WITH HANGMAN PAGE AND JEY USO "LEAVES" WWE

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Welp, here we go again. After an excellent main event on AEW Collision last night, CM Punk couldn't help but take shots at Hangman Adam Page, which ended up overshadowing the show itself. Were his comments all part of a plan to get Punk and Page back in the ring at All Out next month? I would certainly hope so, but if not, Tony Khan is getting exactly what he paid for. And as AEW continues to break attendance records for it's Wembley Stadium show in two weeks, I've got a lot of thoughts about the card for the show so far, and the impact of running back-to-back PPVs like they're doing. Plus... when the Endeavor deal for WWE is now expected to be completed, Triple H being left off the new Board of Directors and why this "story" is really a whole lot of nothing... the latest on Bray Wyatt's recovery from his "life-threatening" illness, Randy Orton's return to the ring and Sonya Deville's ACL surgery, including my thoughts on how to handle the situation with the Women's tag team titles... Jimmy Uso explains himself on Smackdown, Jey Uso "leaves" WWE, thoughts on them possibly stretching this story out until WrestleMania 40 and the one thing I hope to see WWE do out of this with Roman Reigns... the end of Austin Theory as United States champion and what to do with him now... thoughts on the end of the G1 Climax, Sanada's injury and why Eddie Kingston has been the best story in wrestling this past month... and a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING season finale review on the cautionary tale of Marty Jannetty, including why The Rockers were fired after only two weeks in WWE, the incident with Chuck Austin being paralyzed in the ring, the vicious hotel room fight between Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, the Barber Shop Window incident, why their WrestleMania VIII match never happened, his short-lived WWE returns in 2005 and 2006 and what led to the end of both of them, and his Facebook tale about having murdered a man when Jannetty was only 13 years old... and YOUR QUESTIONS on how to get the Intercontinental title off Gunther at the Royal Rumble, is LA Knight this generation's DDP, what would have become of Brian Pillman had he returned to WCW, what to do if LA Knight continues to gain popularity and Cody Rhodes starts to falter, and what's the greatest unplanned moment in wrestling history?***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
