Still never quite conquered that speech impediment though. I can't listen to him for longer than two minutes.

I appreciate Big Dave tweeting out Cody's presser today. Or maybe it was someone else from the Observer but I'm giving Dave credit anyway.

Given that, would it have made sense to hold Shaq off til the main event? Build up his appearance?

I would've started the show with a Shaq promo, nothing over the top, just a basic talk shit promo on Cody. If you want a pull apart, fine. Then have commentary plug the shit out of it all night. You could then have had Hangman & Silver vs Hardy & Quen. Shaq match could've main evented.
I know they wanted a huge number of fans to tune in to start the show and then plug their PPV as the night went on, hoping to keep fans interested.
Good idea in theory, but the final 30 minutes of Dynamite was really weak. 10 vs Caster and the Hardy tag? Not strong at all.

I really can’t stand this guy. I can’t believe you all can’t see how terrible of a “journalist” he is. He’s so obviously compromised and biased. I find it hilarious that his two biggest fans on the board also hate Fox News with a passion (I do as well). It’s the same damn thing guys. You can’t trust a god damn thing he says. And he absolutely has an agenda. And he pretends he doesn’t. He’s such a fraud.

He's good for a laugh every once in a while.
Usually when Bryan is making him sound dumb.

Sasha Banks appears to be done with WWE after she and Naomi walked out in the middle of RAW in May.
Banks is scheduled to appear at the Wrestle Kingdom 17 event in Tokyo Dome on January 4th, 2023, as PWMania.com previously reported. The talks between Banks and WWE to bring her back had slowed due to financial constraints.
Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio that “The Boss” is done with WWE.
“Okay, there’s a lot to this one. I had talked with WWE about it and they basically had nothing to say as far as the situation. Obviously, we’d talked about this before, they [WWE] had been talking to both of them, but they had been talking to her [Banks] about a return and they were very far apart on money. That was the last that I had heard….What she was asking for was a very high number for a WWE woman wrestler, but if you look at the amount of money that WWE takes in, she would still be underpaid. Everyone from Roman Reigns to Brock Lesnar is underpaid…That was the last that I had heard. Now, her contract was set to expire at the end of the year. However, as we’ve seen with so many people, they could freeze the deal.”
“She’s not going back to WWE, but you cannot always rule that out. Maybe they’ll just say ‘She’s more trouble than she’s worth. She’s asking for so much money.’ Which is, of course, the attitude a month ago of ‘Oh my god how can she ask for so much money?’ January 4th Tokyo Dome and other dates, and Mercedes Vernado or whatever name she will go with, but as of right now – she’s done with WWE. It can change at any moment, but that’s the situation right now.”
Meltzer discussed WWE making talent wait out time they missed despite being at the end of their contracts.
“She is going to the show, she will be on the show, she will not be wrestling on the show. She has dates booked with NJPW. In her deal, which I believe is not signed, she could still sign with WWE and this could all fall apart, but she has pretty much agreed to their terms. As far as they’re [NJPW] concerned, they have a deal.”
Meltzer stated that he has no idea how AEW fits in or whether she will be Saraya’s mystery partner on AEW Dynamite on January 11th.
“She is going to be making appearances for NJPW in 2023. Barring a last-minute change and her backing out on what she has agreed to, she’s not going back to WWE, but you cannot always rule that out.”
Meltzer went on to say that WWE might give her the money she wants to keep her from going to NJPW or AEW.
“That’s where it kind of all stands….but as of right now, she’s done with WWE. Like I said, it could change at any moment.”

Meltzer is the worst. That whole spiel could have been 1 sentence. And yes we know things can change at anytime Dave. What a fucking tool. You don't know shit, never have and never will.

Dave Meltzer is the embodiment of verbal diarrhea. Listening to him talk to Alvarez is hysterical. Brian tries to get a word in but Dave just rambles on and on and on. No wonder ADHD Tony and he get along so well.
