Ruminations on TV Shows, Comics, And Music
We start off this season with a TNA event called Turning Point, and spend most of the WWE portion of the season focused on what's probably the best stable in wrestling history, Evolution. Both of these feel like accurate descriptions of this season. TNA goes from weekly pay-per-views starring Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, and a Senior Citizens Home of WCW and WWE superstars with special guest star AJ Styles to a legitimately fun organizatoin with monthly pay-per-views, and slightly less Monday Night Wars-era storytelling. And while Triple H is in the midst of his Reign Of Terror in the WWE, Samoa Joe absolutely dominates Ring Of Honor, which continues to have effectively minimal storytelling and fantastic matches featuring the future of WWE & AEW. And while he doesn't have any matches this season (but don't worry, he'll be dropping by again next season), it's really fun to see Ricky Steamboat pop back up as an ethical referee in Ring Of Honor.
