Did you notice Jim Ross pointing out some things that didn’t make sense on Dynamite this week, like when Kris Statander just stopped rather than keep pursuing Layla Hirsch?
I did, and I love it. If I am calling a match and something makes no sense, I would want to say it too. The WWE announcers can’t, but JR can. In the case you mentioned, I always wondered the same thing. Red Velvet was saved and behind Kris. Why wouldn’t she keep chasing Layla, even if it’s only to ask what the hell is wrong with her?
Could Adam Cole have looked any worse on Dynamite? Orange Cassidy wasn’t even holding him with much force, but he stood there and did nothing before he got thrown to the ground.
That was hard to watch and partly why I hate the Orange gimmick. Cole should have punched him in the face or head butted him, something! He stood there not being restrained and allowed himself to be destroyed. I hated that finish. It made Cole look so weak.
And why is Orange Cassidy beating Adam Cole anyway?
I know Tony Khan is a big Orange fan so that is probably why. And you know, I wouldn’t have as much of an issue if Orange had won with fire instead of the lame way he got control of Cole. But as I always say, if fans like it, it doesn’t matter what I think.
What was the point of Britt Baker’s promo on Dynamite, why didn’t they use it to set up her next opponent, it seemed like a complete waste of time to me.
Well, she got to crap on Cleveland. That seemed like the main point of it to me. I agree, if you are going to do a promo that is that cocky, someone should come out and respond. And if they aren't going to have someone come out, there is no need to let it go on that long.
The ladder match between Cody and Sammy actually scared me at times with some of the things that they did. I know that they are trained but the human body can only take so much. Does it ever worry you that we will someone get paralyzed, or worse, doing the things that some of the wrestlers do today?
In a word, yes. The bar has been raised so high that it just seems like a matter of time until someone gets really hurt and I don’t want to see it. But the flip side is that the talent are adults and they choose to do it. I remember once I said to New Jack that his spots were getting crazier and crazier. We were at the PPV in Danbury and he was showing me the long fall he was set to do with Vic Grimes (which sure didn’t go as planned). I said to him, “Jack, I don’t want to have to write your obituary.” I still remember what he said. “If I die doing it, it’s because that is what I chose to do. And if I die, you will write about it, because that’s what you chose to do.”
