It’s looking like Matt Hardy is gonna be the leader of the Dark Order on AEW. They did a promo tonight and at the end Evil Uno said obsolete. Betting he’ll debut at AEW’s ppv Revolution this Saturday.
 
After watching ShowDown, I'd give it a solid 3.5/5.

Some matches weren't too bad, but most of the crowd was dead and didn't really get me that excited.
 
People losing their **** on Twitter over Goldberg beating the Fiend and becoming new champ.
 
Wish everyone would calm down over this, I think we all sort of expected it to happen and everyone is going overboard, I know they have built the Fiend up over the last six moths or so and he has grown to became the best thing in the company but one loss isn't going to destroy him, he will probably fight Cena at WM and beat him and get some sort of redemption in the process, Reigns will probably face Goldberg for the title and win.

At the end of the day its only Wrestling and its not the end of the world.

The rest of the show was mostly meh, I liked the Undertaker thing and it will hopefully set up a match between him and AJ at WM, but there wasn't really a lot else to mention, the crowd were pretty dead throughout and the whole show lacked atmosphere, I didn't like the setting of the show either as it looked like it was in a field or something.
 
This company is ****ing dead to me

Outside of the Royal Rumble I haven’t seen anything from the main roster since Survivor Series.

Granted I haven’t been thrilled with AEW or NXT either. I didn’t watch the last Takeover and will be skipping Revolution as well. It’s sad that all the optimism around pro-wrestling has fizzled out for me. Hopefully that changes as the year goes on.
 
I think out of all the matches, Reigns and Corbin was probably the only good one.
 
To distract from the merits of Reigns/Goldberg in 2020, AEW is running their Revolution PPV tonight. Card:
AEW World Championship
Chris Jericho © vs. Jon Moxley


MJF vs. Cody


AEW World Tag Team Championship
Kenny Omega and Adam Page © vs. The Young Bucks


Jake Hager vs. Dustin Rhodes


Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara


AEW Women's World Championship
Nyla Rose © vs. Kris Statlander


SoCal Uncensored vs. The Dark Order


Pre-show
Pac vs. Orange Cassidy
 
The Roman agenda is back in full swing boys

Vince never ****ing learns

In Roman's defense, he didn't lose the Universal title, he had to relinquish it because of his leukemia. So, it makes sense for him to challenge Oldberg...

The only explanation I have for the mess at SSD is that they made Oldberg win so Roman can win the title back, win the crowd (since Oldberg is the bad guy here), and to "protect" the Fiend, because it would have been worse for Bray to defeat Bill and then lose to Roman. Once Roman wins, Oldberg can return to retirement and his Dodge commercials.
 
I don't think Roman has actually won any titles since his return from his cancer fight, and he has been back for over a year now.

Raw tonight seems pretty good, there is a Raw tag title rematch from SSD between champs Rollins and Murphy against the Street Profits, Rey Mysterio and Humberto Carillo v Andrade and Garza, Shayna v Asuka, Aleister Black v AJ Styles (that should be good!) and Beth Phoenix makes an appearance to give an update on husband Edge's condition, I cant wait to see what Orton will do there!

Elimination Chamber is this Sunday, Its seems mostly fluff though, there are two Chamber matches for the Smackdown tag titles and a Women's match were the winner will face Becky for the Raw title but we all know that Shayna will win it so its seems a little pointless, there is also an Intercontinental title handicap match with Strowman defending against Nakamura, Cesaro and Zayn.

Matt Hardy is now a free agent.
 
Edge/Orton at WrestleMania is gonna look rather daft now if they start with anything that resembles a wrestlemove. Or at any point in the initial few minutes.
 
That last bit of Raw with Orton and Beth Phoenix was fantastic, shame the rest of the show was average.

Three more matches made for Elimination Chamber, tag title re-match between new champs Street Profits and Rollins/Murphy, US title match between champ Andrade and Humberto Carillo and a No DQ match with Aleister Black and AJ Styles.
 
Come on guys, wrestling is just a game, nothing more. Even a child knows that punches are fake.

Not that it matters at all, but in what way is [pro] wrestling a game? Boxing is a game, MMA is a game, as are all the other forms of combat sports(many of which have themselves had major problems with being fake over the years). Pro wrestling is a show.
 
Can't wait to see how Edge is gonna retaliate. Randy is playing his part like a true master.

Drew keps looking stronger and stronger as the weeks go on. He made Lesnar look bad and then proceeded to defeat Rowan on a dark match after the Viper RKO'ed Beth.

Honestly, if the doesn't defeat Lesnar at Mania I'm gonna lose it.
 
Side note: Interesting to see how WrestleMania will be dealt with considering the coronavirus outbreak.
I'm sure they're doing the best they can to make sure the superstars and fans are safe. If it does get out of hand, they might have to go with a Plan B. Don't know what that would entail.

Eric from the Viking Raiders got sick after Super Showdown. It hasn't been confirmed that it's coronavirus.
 
If it does get out of hand, they might have to go with a Plan B.

I'm not saying being irresponsible and uprooting everyone's travel plans is a good idea, but Lincoln Financial Field is free that day not saying that because it'd be a break in the usual Wrestlemania circuit or anything and it's nearby enough to me.
 
JBL to be inducted into this years Hall Of Fame, I don't like him, I think he's a bully.

WWE personnel reportedly had a meeting before Raw about the coronavirus.
 
So Jake 'the Snake' Roberts is doing stuff in AEW, getting involved with Cody (Rhodes) and is to manage someone not yet named. Hell I'm in.
