That sucks. First heard him announcing for WWE with Carsten Schaefer back in the 90. For years those two were the voices of WWE in Germany.

It’s a sad day for wrestling in Germany. Only saw him a couple of times wrestling, but he always gave everything in the ring. Rest in Peace, John.

I still think it was match of the night. Was it overshadowed by Stings retirement match? Of course, but that happened to every match on the card.

The El Desperado vs. Sho match was hands down the worst match of the night.

As soon as AEW started to showcase Toni Storm in black and white and the others in color, I waited for a shot like this. And it didn’t disappoint.

Don’t worry they’ll push EVIL and the House of Torture, because that it what the people want to see. /s

This fucking sucks. All the best to him.

Yep, that was me. Me and my friends somehow got tickets for Bash in Berlin and the SmackDown tapings next year. I’ll try to post a recap for that too.

My personal highlight this year was going to All In in London from Germany. Disgusting expensive four days in London, but worth every penny. Went to the Revolution Pro Anniversay Show on the day before All In to to see Will Osprey vs. Shingo Takagi and was blown away by that show, with suprise appearance by Skye Blue, Mickey James and Chris Jericho and whole lot of RevPro and NJPW talent.

All In was spectacular, the atmosphere was crazy. Beeing surrounded by nearly 80.000 wrestling fans is something I will never forget. I wish I had a better view though, the action in the ring is hard to follow if you're sitting to far away.

The downside of the weekend was the trip back home. Monday after All In the air traffic control in the UK broke down, my flight got canceled, had to reschedule onto the next day just to get it canceled again. So I had to spent two extra days in London and had to take the train to Brussels, from Brussels to Cologne and form Cologne to Berlin. Luckily the airline had to cover all the additional expenses.

The WWE House show in Berlin was also very good.

And now some general thoughts: AEW: I wish AEW would feature more women than just Toni Storm, Skye Blue, Julia, Willow, Saraya, Ruby Soho and Hikaru Shida. One match per show is is not enough. On the plus side though, Julia has really improved a lot since joining the House of Black. Orange Cassidy has really one me over with his first title rain as International Champion, even though I think it was a little too long.

NJPW: Eddie Kingston in the G1 was really fun to see. Lowlight of NJPW for me was EVIL stealing Sanadas belt and proclaiming himself champion. House of Torture is such a trainwreck that I usually skip their matches. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to watch NJPW regularly.

And in TNA he will be used. My biggest gripe with AEW is the big roster, that you will always see the same big names on Dynamite, Collision and Rampage.

Haven’t watched it yet, and unfortunately, won’t have the time to watch it before Collision. Where’s my fine, Danielson?

I want him to retire and live the rest of his life in peace and happiness and without health problems. But I also think that wrestling and commentating is what makes him happy, it’s not just a job for him, it is passion. So I will gladly listen to his rumblings when he’s back at the announcers table, because, as you said, one day he won’t be there anymore.

So let’s hope that this fateful day will be a long time away.

That’s exactly what is going through my mind.

Dude, I thought the same. Unthought everyone was exhausted after the PPV and took a break until Wednesday

MJF vs. Jay White: MJF

MJF & TBA vs. The Gunns: this one is hard. I could see a case for both teams to win, but I think it will be MJF and TBA that will stand tall.

Storm vs. Shida: Shida retains, IMO it’s still to early for the Timeless Toni Storm character to get crowned.

Cassidy vs. Moxley: Mox wins and we finally get the run we should have got if it weren’t for the concussion.

Hangman vs. Swerve: Hangman

TBS Match: Julia Hart

Tag Team Ladder Match: the champs retain Sting, Allin and Not-Edge-anymore vs. CC, Luchasaurus and the son of the late Buddy Wayne: I go with CC so that he can rub it in everyone’s face that he „retired“ Sting early.

Golden Jets vs. Bucks: this goes to the young bucks, they will steal the win

Claudio vs Mathew’s: Claudio

Eddie vs Lethal: Eddie retains

Whoever it is, I think it will still be a disappointment.

Mox put the company on his shoulders and carried it around like nothing when a lot of AEW top stars were out with injuries.

It’s just a minor thing, but the rule about sexualized content uses the word subreddit. Maybe this should be changed to the kbin name/word.

It was only the UK that got some big shows. And even though I usually don’t watch WWE, as a wrestling fan I’m still happy that they are bringing their PLE to Europe and hopefully other international countries.

I was laughing so hard when I saw that. Such a little detail made a this jobber match a thing to remember.
