    I won't lie. Sting coming down from the rafters made me sob. It all hit me that it's his last dynamite and he did that classic entrance all at once. Loved it.

    The thing is we’ve seen it a million times that the heels try to cut them off on the ramp but they enter from somewhere else And because of nostalgia I was kind of joking when i said “ He’s in the rafter” Was still cool though

    I was at Dynamite last night and it was amazing. Seeing Sting come down from the roof had me almost in tears, and I found out that it was the 2nd time that Sting did it from our arena here in Huntsville, AL. Overall, the whole Go Home edition of Dynamite gets the Golden Up!

    I was there too. People started pointing up and I was like, "PFT.. no way...". And then more people started pointing and I was like "NO WAY" and then I saw the bottoms of his boots and was like "NO FREAKING WAY!!" Did you go look up the video of his doing it before with DDP? Pretty epic.

    Simon, Orange's match was an open challenge, That is how Nick Wayne became the challenger. It was announced during the entrances. And Yes Sting coming out of the sky/rafters was awesome! There was one other time I thought they were going to do that and now I dont recall if they did? I will miss Sting! I have watched and followed his whole career. He is Legit My All time Favorite. I hope he still does signings I still want to meet him one day!

    I will never apologize for thinking that Orange Cassidy is spectacular. He’s a master of working a match between situationally silly to absolutely incredible. I’m not sure there are many moves that I *haven’t* seen him pull off. He’s amazing and one of the most likable characters I’ve ever seen I want so bad for this to culminate into a proper Cassidy v Christian match

    Of course it's time to say goodbye to Sting. But on another subject what Hangman did was just a good old fashioned okey doke move. Many wrestlers have pulled that before. Ric Flair was there last night. That man was a master of that kind of tactic. I actually like how he swerved, Swerve.

    Will doesn't need Don to go to the top and have success. In fact, his rise to the top has nothing to do with Don Callis and their relationship was predicated in defeating Kenny Omega at the time. Times changed. So it'll be a matter of time before Ospreay bails and Don know this. Takeshita, on the other hand, is Callis protege, creation and under his full control. And since he's supposed to be Kenny Omega's replacement in Don's eyes, defeating Ospreay will put Takeshita one step closer to the top, as the best wrestler ever and cement Callis as the true architect of wrestling. In the end, it's all about Don Callis and his ego. It's about him thinking he's the smartest guy in the room and the hidden hand that manipulates everything. We saw it with Omega, Sammy Guevara, and now we're seeing it with Will Ospreay. He wants and needs Takeshita to beat Ospreay in order to validate everything he has worked and say all these years. It's not really that strange or weird or confusing.... But to each their own I guess. C'est la vie.
