Solomonster Sounds Off

The wrestling world lost Dory Funk Jr. this week, one of the more legendary names in the history of the business, and I'll talk a little bit about why that is.  Brock Lesnar also announced his RETIREMENT this week and I've got a lot to say about that, too, including how legit I think it is, what his legacy will be and the best Brock matches of his career.  Plus, thoughts on the WWE/AAA tournament to crown a challenger for Roman Reigns in Mexico City... Smackdown thoughts from Friday on Kevin Owens and CM Punk's first face-to-face, Tatum Paxley's debut and then injury that could DERAIL Chelsea Green's title run before it even begins... AJ Styles sticking up for his son leads to SAD TWEET honors for this week... why the Paramount deal to acquire WBD, in my opinion, appears to be DEAD and what that means for AEW... Grand Slam Mexico fallout with the return of MJF... and my DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on the quick rise and tragic fall of The Renegade from WCW.

Solomonster reviews the post Summerslam episode of WWE Raw, which may have been their best all year as it felt like a bit of a much-needed reset.  LA Knight standing up to Roman Reigns, Oba Femi and Bron Breakker eyeballing each other, the returns of Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer, the debut of Big Cass and an unexpected cliffhanger with Rey Mysterio and Roman Reigns going off to discuss... AAA BUSINESS?

Holy crap, it's a LOADED SHOW in between both nights of WWE Summerslam with my reaction to Night One, including Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell, and Triple H's comments after the show about the need for talents to GET THEMSELVES OVER if they want to be in a top spot.  I've got a LOT to say about that, as well as his absurd comments from Thursday on Busted Open Radio about wishing the fans would just BELIEVE more (yes, it is OUR fault, you see!).  Plus, the latest installment of LOLTNA with Lebron James, thoughts on the Grayson Waller "pipebomb" from NXT this week and a DARK SIDE OF THE RING REVIEW on the life and death of the Big Boss Man, including insights into his close friendship with Chris Benoit NOT included in the episode!
