@JDfromNY206 Honestly bro, what upset me most about last night is Melo not being added to the US title match at Wrestlemania and HHH is 1000% to blame for that.

Triple H is to blame for the last 2 years of garbage. He deserves the blame for the terrible weekly television we have gotten coming out of WrestleMania 40 I don't blame him for last night's Pat McAfee fiasco. They are actively trying to sabotage him during their busiest season of the year. He's the one going to get the blame for this year being a flop. Meanwhile it was TKO's decision to run Mania in Vegas again, inflate ticket prices 25-30% over last year. The fact that it is all down this year, it has prompted Ari Emanuel to start making requests creatively. Ask yourself this. If Vince McMahon was still there, would Ari Emanuel tell Vince McMahon what he needs to do creatively? Highly unlikely. Triple H will be out in 18-24 months. 7 Bucks Productions will take over. And Brian Gewirtz will be running creative.

@Ace109610 No.

Yes or no AEW will beat Smackdown on TV ratings

@Moses0507 @AIRGold_ Meltzer gave them 5 stars, I never said that I agreed with him. Learn to gather and process information properly bud.

@AKStylesOrg @AIRGold_ Oh boy those were not 5 stars at all

Maven thinks that WWE is in trouble: 1. They don't do enough house shows and because of it, the wrestling isn't as good - "you don't get better as a wrestler by not wrestling" 2. There's a lack of camaraderie because wrestlers aren't on the road together 3. Every match in WWE looks like a dance instead of a fight. 4. Wrestlers have forgotten how to call matches in the ring. 5. The product as a whole is too expensive 6. Too many ads - "It was painful to get through an episode of Raw"

@DanteOnDeck They had one lackluster segment two weeks ago. Everything else has been good to great IMO.

5/10 at best.

@FernandoJValla1 @AIRGold_ I don't hate it. I may disagree with it on whether he rated certain matches too high or too low BUT I look forward to seeing it every Friday.

@AKStylesOrg @AIRGold_ I thought y'all hated Dave's star system

@Dr_Cryptox @AIRGold_ My point is WWE had a lot of fantastic matches in 2025 despite it being creatively lackluster.

@AKStylesOrg @AIRGold_ People really think Dave's stars mean something. THEY MEAN NOTHING. Its no different than I came around, and said "That was a 5 star match" NO different

@Moses0507 @AIRGold_ Kevin vs. Sami, Iyo vs. Rhea vs. Bianca, Smackdown TLC and Cody vs. Cena 2.

@AKStylesOrg @AIRGold_ lol Name them

@Zashy120 I agree.

I genuinely try not to be negative as much as possible, but when a feud that I’ve been waiting years for starts involving a country singer that lost weight and can do a chokeslam, it’s hard not to be

@AIRGold_ We all know Dave favors AEW so when a WWE match gets 5 stars, we know it was more than well deserved.

@AKStylesOrg Dave's ratings don't matter and I'm saying this as an AEW fan

@jayceepxrez Honestly, in terms of match quality, Melo vs. Trick was disappointing when they feuded two years ago.

This could have easily been Melo vs Trick what are we doing man

@quantumleapPS4 Apparently some people forget that unlike Punk, Roman has NEVER been interesting on his own. He was interesting when he was in The Shield with Rollins & Ambrose. From 2014-2020 he was on his own and it was mostly trash. That's why he needed Heyman and The Bloodline to get OVER.

Dude that had his name chanted throughout the decade of absence when he was gone from the company, is apparently not a bigger star than the guy that was heavily booked to be THE guy at a time when the fans didn't want him. Let's be for real, right now.

@WrestlingNewsCo Because there are a lot wrestlers who work full time that have a wife and kids.

Kevin Nash said on the Kliq This podcast that someone has to turn heel during the Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk match at WrestleMania 42 for the match to work, even if it happens in the opening moments. ​ "People say all the time, there's no such thing as a heel or a babyface anymore. Well, let me tell you right now, somebody's got to get heat on somebody, and it's got to be more than the other guy. So somebody's got to get heat. I call that the heel. Somebody's got to make the comeback. That's the babyface." ​ Nash acknowledged both men are essentially tweeners right now. He pointed to Reigns' promo about being a full-time father as an example of how hard it is to boo him. "You can't have a graphic that says Roman Reigns has headlined 11 WrestleManias and I should dislike this guy for what reason?" ​ Nash said the turn does not need to happen before the event. "It could be night of. If Punk takes a shortcut, or if Roman takes a shortcut to get the advantage, then that's it. I just don't think the back-and-forth Japan style, shake hands between arm tosses, works." ​ He referenced Rock vs. Hogan at WrestleMania 18, where Rock immediately played heel when the crowd made it clear they wanted Hogan. ​ Nash also said Reigns should close the show. "You don't put a graphic out that says Roman Reigns has been the main event of 11 WrestleManias and not have him close the show. That doesn't make sense." ​ #KevinNash #RomanReigns #CMPunk #WrestleMania #WWE

@TripleFraud Ospreay vs. Darby on Dynamite later that same year was better IMO.

this match isn’t even that great

@davemeltzerWON Best NJPW match IMO.

Tanahashi vs. Ibushi is one of the best matches ever.

@TheRajGiri He should not beat either of them.

Agreed

@SKeL_420 @JobberNationTV No it ain't, not even close.

@AKStylesOrg @JobberNationTV It's better.

I finally realized that AEW is nothing but Tony Con's version of NXT Black & Gold Tony Con is obsessed with WWE #AEWCollision

@TheHulchal 39.

So let's settle this debate permanently.. Which one was the BETTER SHOW according to you ??? WRESTLEMANIA 39 OR 40 ?

@CrispyWrestlin IYO running the gauntlet if I had the pen.

I'm curious who we think wins this??? Asuka, Lyra or Bayley are good shouts
