Also, why did Oba Femi beat up a bunch of cops (and why did Michael Cole say, “You can’t blame him”?!?) Is the answer to WWE’s problems staring them in the face with the crowd reactions to their mid-card matches? Did it show on the faces of top wrestlers that this Summerslam build has been a bust? Should TKO consider replacing Paul Levesque (or should they get out of his way if he’s actually lost his power)? DIRECT LINK:  VIP AUDIO LINK NOT VIP?

Also, thoughts on Mick Foley’s segment with Thekla and Willow Nightingale and why we’re rooting for Willow and how this was a step in the right direction. Also, lots of talk about AEW Redemption (or is it Retribution? Or Regurgitation?)… and why it’s a sleeper event with some real potential for in-ring excellence and some key storyline developments even with a B-show feel otherwise. Some digs at John Cena and Sting that somehow tied into Dynamite, along with other topics from segments on Dynamite. Plus, Omega brings an early 1980s well know commercial jingle into his opening promo! DIRECT LINK:  VIP AUDIO LINK NOT VIP?
