So Kushida and Ikemen Jiro’s team name is Jacket Time
I’ll be the 400th person to say that this was also the original name for Toxic Attraction.

Haha when I saw the promo they cut and it was (insert random blonde interviewer name here) who suggested the name to them, I immediately thought to myself, how in the hell did Russo not come up with this name for a female faction in the Attitude Era?

If we were still doing our Territories, I'd book Ikemen Jiro and Tokyo Magnum as a team. Team Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. And yes, they'd walk out to Blink 182.

O’Reilly (and I think Gargano’s) contract is up in December.
If I were them, I’ve done all I could in NXT and Vince won’t give them shit on the main roster because they’re small, go to AEW.
Gargano is only 34 and about to be a dad. Get that money for Candice and little baby Gargano, not developmental money, which he’s making.
Kyle could obviously team with Fish and have bangers with every damn team there.

I think WWE will do what they can to entice Gargano into staying. They'll probably let Fish go though.

What do you do when you have a roster full of inexperienced talent? Put them in a cage of course.
Wargames returns next month.

They just threw a bunch of inexperienced girls (not named Io) into a random ladder match a few weeks ago and Zoey Stark got seriously injured.
What’s another crazy match, right? I’d guess it’d be Mandy, Gigi, Jacy & Dakota vs Raquel, Kacy, Kayden & Cora? Maybe? I have no idea really.
Having matches like this with green talent is just a recipe for disaster, whether it be a really shitty match or worse, someone gets badly hurt

That ladder match is what caused me to tap and think about returning another day.

Mei Ying, the 1,000 year old woman gimmick has been dropped. Karen Q will now be Wendy Choo.
Also they re-named some of the referees because that’s super important to do.

Longtime heel in NXT UK Kay Lee Ray joined the babyface team for War Games apparently.
And next week she's in a ladder match with Dakota Kai for the War Games advantage. Because the last ladder match they did no one seriously got hurt or anything (hi Zoey Stark).
What happened to a good old fashioned coin flip that the heels miraculously win all the time (unless you're TNA, bro)? I'd take that over another ladder match.

Also the men are having War Games too. Old School vs. New School. Gargano, Ciampa, Dunne and LA Knight (he's Old School? I guess everyone else has been released) vs. Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Tony D'Angelo & Grayson Waller
Io, Cora Jade, Kay Lee Ray & Raquel Gonzalez vs. Mandy Rose, Jacy Jayne, Gigi Dolan & Dakota Kai - War Games
Joe Gacy vs. Roderick Strong - CW Title Cameron Grimes vs. Duke Hudson - Hair vs Hair Imperium vs. Kyle O'Reilly & Von Wagner or Legado Del Fantasma (winner of their match next week)
This is on Peacock December 5th. Much like Survivor Series, I'm sure the matches will be ok, but I just don't give two fucks about this brand anymore.
This could be Gargano & Kyle's swan song if they don't resign.

So this is WCW "New Blood" booking?
When did Vince Russo come back to WWE?

Gargano signed a 1 week extension to his deal. It was set to expire December 3rd, but this gets him to the War Games show.

Beth Phoenix wraps up as a commentator on Sunday. She said it’s taken away from spending time with her family.

So I watched all of War Games and it still took me a while to figure out who that was who attacked Gargano during his speech.
Apparently it was Grayson Waller, who is so forgettable I only realized who it was when he himself said his own name.
Gargano is sticking around for sure and that makes me a little sad. Hopefully he at least got a pay increase and not have to make NXT money.

Good for him.

They're doing a good job with the "reboot" shows. It felt fresh again.

If he does stick around, all the credit in the world for them for posting something like this to get people to bite.

Another swerve? At this point I’m beginning to think John Boy is showing up in the Rumble. And then be on Main Event by Mania. Hope I’m wrong, on literally all of it.
