I did, pretty solid match except the finishing move by Cassidy was a tad awkward.

Jericho is such a fun wrestler to watch.  He really is a showmen.  My boy Cassidy must be moving up in the world to get a prime spot like that.  I'm glad that he is getting recognition.

Seemingly Tony Khan is very high on Orange Cassidy, so he's in a good position going forward.
What do you think will happen with Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre? I'm ready to see Orton become champion again, he's had an amazing year.

I can't comment on WWE because I don't watch it.

So the owner of AEW digs on Cassidy?  I was wondering if they watch merch sales or not and that drives the airtime?

Also special saturday AEW event.  Starts at 6pm!

ConorKavanagh

When is the Saturday event? I haven't seen in a couple of weeks.

Yes, I read somewhere that apparently Chris Jericho said it in an interview Tony Khan and AEW management all view Orange Cassidy as a very big star.

aren't they doing saturday nights for a few week cause of the NBA?

Didn't like how they treated Mickie James' comeback. Was like a throwaway match.

Renee Young quits WWE. Guess she'll be joining her hubby in AEW

igotid88

Yea I was about to post about Renee Young. That will suck her not being there. And Cathy Kelly is not there anymore. She could have been a good replacement.

Yes, but they added "at a special time" so I'm regurgitating it, lol.  Watching NBA playoffs now.

NXT Takeover was of course overall really good. Ladder match was probably the best match of the night. Pat McAfee actually held his own in his first match and was pretty impressive. Heard Karrion Kross got injured in his match with Keith Lee. You could see him holding his arm halfway through the match.

SummerSlam tonight, predictions:

Drew McIntrye over Randy Orton

The Fiend over Braun Strowman by DQ

Angel Garza and Andrade over Street Profits for RAW tag team belts

Sasha Banks over Asuka

Asuka over Bayley for Smackdown women's belt

Apollo Crews over MVP

Seth Rollins over Dominick Mysterio (probably with some outside help)

Mandy Rose over Sonya Deville (this could go either way, no contest, Otis helps?)

Will be interesting to see what Retribution does tonight.

I've never liked a ladder match so I am intrigued.

Really? Ladder matches are pretty awesome. Michaels/razor Ramon at wrestlemania X, edge/Christian vs Hardy bioys vs Dudley boys at wrestlemania, or most money in the bank matches?

Street Profits annoy me.

I didn't watch Summerslam but from the clips I saw on social media, that virtual fan set-up seemed like a pretty cool visual.

Yeah the Thunderdome setup was pretty good. Of course you have some people doing some weird stuff on there. One person had a pic of Benoit on there. Another person had posted a KKK member on there. Pikachu was also there.

igotid88

I was going to sign up for Thunderdome. But too many rules. Maybe one day. Unfortunately I won't be able to wear a Pearl Jam shirt
