Very good match tbf but so many fucking dangerous spots. These dudes have publicly admitted how fucked up their bodies are, and it’s not just one or two injuries, it’s more, and they just took more time off their career and probably life after this match. Well, I hope the Meltzer stars are worth it.
Bryan’s presser hit the nail on the head. Even that mad bastard thought it was unnecessary, he pretty much called it dumb in a roundabout way.
The match didn’t need that spot to make an impact.
Speaking of Bryan, injured yet again, after getting injured in his last singles match too.
I believe that’s his 4th or 5th injury since joining AEW.
It’s starting to remind me of Rey before he left WWE a decade or so ago when Rey kept getting injured over and over again until WWE pulled the plug. Rey needs to share his secrets(I know he’s big on stem cells) because he’s looking fitter than ever now at 48, wrestling full-time and at a top level.
WCW dropped the ball by not pushing Steiner as a legit main event guy until late 2000. He was the best heel they had in his title run.
Guys like him, Benoit and Booker T should have had pushes sooner than they did. They didn’t phase out the older guys quickly enough and it cost them.
Steiner and Booker had some very good matches together and excellent chemistry. And if you watch Steiner matches in 98-99 he still had a lot of speed and could go.
It’s a shame WWE got the 2003 version of him with nerve damage and a fucked back. And they also tried to push a natural heel as a baby face which just made it so much worse a run.
Apparently the dude was then bleeding. Only a ducking wrestling journalist would be assaulted during a press conference, bleed, and actually sit through the rest of the conference and keep marking out.
Booker T and Steiner absolutely. Benoit was whatever. Eddie Guerrero and Jericho deserved it more than him. Getting charisma vacuums like Malenko (Jericho) and Kidman (Eddie) over is credit in the bank.
watched a clip on youtube of Jungle Boy turning heel, the guy just doesn’t have IT for me and I don’t think he would ever be a star if he went to WWE, doesn’t have much charisma
