Sound Off 815 - AN ACTUAL INTELLIGENT TAKE ON THE SUPPOSED "DEMISE" OF LA KNIGHT Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

We open this week with news on the death of Darren Drozdov at age 54 and the catastrophic injury that ended his WWE career, but did not stop him from living his life. Then it's the MONEY IN THE BANK FALLOUT with thoughts on John Cena teasing the idea of a London Wrestlemania, why the AEW Wembley effect is very real and what it will actually take to get the show across the pond... Jey Uso handing Roman Reigns his first pinfall loss in more than three years, where it's leading and why last night was the peak of the Jey Uso story arc... why Damian Priest winning MITB made the most sense story-wise and why LA Knight, despite what others will tell you, is NOT buried, where the man was a year ago compared to now and what to do with him at Summerslam... news on Ronda Rousey's WWE status and why the shocking Shayna Baszler betrayal at MITB suddenly makes a lot more sense... Bryan Danielson suffers a broken door at Forbidden Arm and what it means for the Blood & Guts match on July 19th... Sting takes another wild bump on Dynamite and my concern for him going forward... AEW Collision thoughts, including CM Punk against Samoa Joe next week and where things could be headed for All In & All Out with Punk, Jay White, MJF and Adam Cole... LONE WOLF Baron Corbin returns on NXT... a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on the rise and fall of The Junkyard Dog, including the racism he encountered over the years, his success working for Bill Watts in Midsouth and the way he left for the WWF, the drug problems that ultimately led to his downfall, the night New Jack attacked him backstage in ECW and the sad circumstances around his death... plus, YOUR QUESTIONS on doing Danielson vs. Okada over Ospreay vs. Okada at the Tokyo Dome, what was the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat equivalent in WWE, why Sean O'Haire would NOT have had the career Batista did if he joined Evolution instead, the best WWE video packages ever, and the best TV moments where the villain got what was coming to them.

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for June 23rd, with several changes to the card made by Vince McMahon, including Bayley's match being completely removed. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler have unified the WWE and NXT Women's tag team titles. LA Knight picked up a big win over Rey Mysterio after the match fell apart in the closing moments. The Usos had a message for Roman Reigns, but after last wek's excellent Bloodline angle, this show tonight was a bore.

Solomonster reviews the final AEW Dynamite before Forbidden Door this Sunday and they announced a lot, and I do mean a LOT, of matches for Rampage, Collision and Forbidden Door, if you can keep them all straight. Okada showed up to confront Bryan Danielson at the end of the show, CM Punk made a surprise appearance in Chicago and dissecting the brackets for the men's and women's Owen Hart Foundation tournaments this year, including Punk's match for Sunday.

Solomonster reviews Monday Night Raw for June 19th with Logan Paul returning and qualifying for Money in the Bank in a hard fought matc...oh, who am I kidding, he was handed a spot in the ladder match just by asking. The open challenge they announced for Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight Title never happened after Finn Balor attacked him and Tommaso Ciampa is back. Otherwise, a very missable episode that wasn't very exciting.
