Monday's RAW was fine. The transfer portal thing is a hacky attempt to act like the draft doesn't matter when the writers need different storylines.

But if you're on RAW, and you couldn't get screen time when the show was 3 hours, you'd better be looking for a new employer now that RAW goes about 2:40. 


I'm digging most of what's happening on Dynamite, but I'm in the camp of people that simply don't understand what the Death Riders' purpose actually is. Moxley talks about reshaping AEW, but every match they are involved with just ends up with the Death Riders ganging up on the opponent, win or lose. They aren't growing, and they aren't gaining respect from the roster. 

Also, Grand Slam: Australia doesn't have an air time listed yet, but it's being promoted as an episode of Collision. 

Watched the recent Smackdown, and saw Jacob Fatu and Toma Tonga running around causing chaos, getting involved with Cody Rhodes.

My question is, are they running without direction, or did Solo put them up to it? Because Solo's loss on RAW to Roman, coupled with Solo's pledge to honor the result of the match, does not mesh with the actions we saw on Smackdown. As well, Jimmy Uso got involved AGAINST them, and WITH Cody. 

I feel it was a booking mistake to not immediately follow up the Roman-Solo match on RAW with Solo's acknowledgment on Smackdown. Pushing it out a week weakens the importance of the story. 

And with three-hour Smackdowns now, for the time being, there's no excuse of a lack of time to get it done. 

I hate the Cubs.

Always.

As most of you who have read this for any period of time know, I'm a Milwaukee Brewer fan. I've been a Brewer fan since 1980. And as lean as the last 26 years have been, I stuck with them -- didn't abandon them for some other team like some people do when the team of their childhood struggles for a few decades.

Even so, it pained me to have to 'root' for the Cubs to win some games against the Mets during the last week of the season so Milwaukee could get into the wild card race.

Last night was good for me on two fronts. The Brewers, who had to dig out of an 0-2 hole the last time they were in the playoffs, won a game. (Realistically, I don't expect the Brew Crew to reach the World Series, I'm just glad they broke the playoff drought.) And the hated Cubs got swept out of the playoffs by a Dodger team NOBODY picked to advance. And the Dodgers beat the Cubs in every single aspect of the game. Humbled them, broke their spirit, embarassed them, treated them like Cubs should be treated.

So today, if you're a shell-shocked Cubs fan, hahahahahahahahahahaha.

And you can say whatever you want in return, but you have to live with this: The Brewers weren't a favorite to win the World Series, and the Brewers aren't getting swept out of the playoffs by what most everyone thought was an inferior team.
