The Superkick

On the most recent episode of The Superkick Daily Show, I gave my first impressions on AEW’s new Fight Forever game. I hadn’t touched the creative suite yet but since have and will give my impressions in my full blown review. I think it’s better than expected, seeing some of the reviews.  Then again, I’m pleased every time Nintendo puts out a new Pokémon game because it has familiarity and stuff I like. Which is what the AEW game is. It’s nuts and bolts and I’m fine with that.  Elsewhere on the show I talk about who I think should win Money in the Bank and a certain wrestling legend calls Will Ospreay the next Shawn Michaels.  Please comment down below any of your feedback and I’d really appreciate if you tune in nightly. 

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite takes place live from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. AEW continues their Canadian tour and they’ve got one of the greatest Canadian wrestlers of all time in action. “The Painmaker” Chris Jericho teams up with his protege Sammy Guevara to take on “The Icon” Sting and Darby Allin.  Elsewhere on the show we’ll be getting promos from AEW World Heavyweight Champion, MJF and his stop challenger Adam Cole. You can check out the full preview with full preview of the next Owen Hart Tournament Match: What do you think about the announced rundown? Do you think people will be tuning into see the fallout from Forbidden Door? Please comment below! 

Started my daily show and we’re going to continue this. Every single day. I’m not even kidding. I broke down Carmelo Hayes’ Raw debut, the disappointing Collision rating and Batista’s Hall of Fame claim. You can catch the full first episode right here: Your thoughts on my first episode? What do you think about Kenny Omega’s autograph being featured on the new Sami for Syria shirt? Are you going to purchase that? I talked about that in the episode.  Let’s continue on with this and please keep tuning in! 

Bryan Danielson’s injury appears to be worst than originally thought according to his wife, Brie Bella/Danielson. She posted on Instagram saying it’s worse than expected and expressed her dissatisfaction with him wrestling 10 minutes after the break.  Danielson wrestled Kazuchika Okada in the main event of Forbidden Door. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer confirmed on Twitter that Bryan fractured his arm with 10 minutes left in the match. Danielson confirmed the unfortunate injury on the Forbidden Door press conference. Fans were hoping he would be available for the yet to be announced Blood and Guts show and for All In at Wembley Stadium in August. According to his wife, that may not happen. Fans will remain hopeful that he can make a recovery for All In. They could always schedule Blood and Guts in September or October. Maybe for Collision to help boost the ratings. According to Fightful, it’s looking like a July 19th date for Blood and Guts, AEW’s debut in Boston. That could eas...

Is WWE misusing Natalya? She’s a bonafide future WWE Hall of Famer and still gets a solid crowd reaction. She’ll once again challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship on next week’s Monday Night Raw.  Natalya’s been challenging Rhea for the Championship on the house show loop and was unsuccessful at last month’s Night of Champions. It was a squash and Natalya deserves more than that. She’s paid her dues to get to the spot she’s in. She’s also wrestled at a proficient level for years. She’s a former Women’s Champion and in my opinion deserves more respect than she’s getting.  She endured a flatulence gimmick and years of poor booking. She didn’t deserve to go out there and lose a quick squash to Rhea Ripley. I think Natalya could be used so much better than she was at that event.  Hopefully next week when she challenges Rhea Ripley it’ll be a much better affair. I think they’d do well if they got 15-20 minutes of TV time. Maybe have Natalya actually look like...

Would the AEW Collision rating for this week be higher if CM Punk had wrestled a singles match instead of another tag team match? According to Wrestlenomics, the most recent episode of Collision on June 24th averaged 595,000 thousand viewers. That’s a significant drop from the debut which did 832,000 viewers. CM Punk wrestled in another tag team match against Bullet Club Gold. The additions of The Gunn Club and Ricky Starks weren’t enough to maintain the strong start they did the previous week.   Would CM Punk vs Samoa Joe in singles action have been a better idea? Or what about CM Punk vs his Forbidden Door opponent, Satoshi Kojima? Would that have done the same? Who’s to say. I think they would have been better matter main events than what we got.  What if they advertised the fact that Sting would actually be there? We were told we would find out he and Darby’s partner. But the legend Sting made an appearance. That would have been nice to know. It’s always a pleasure seeing ...

Carmelo Hayes wrestled Finn Balor on Raw last week ahead of Money in the Bank. We saw Seth Rollins head down to NXT to face Bron Breakker and we saw the reverse of that.   Hayes lost to the veteran Balor but looked every bit the part on the main roster. Simply put. He looked like he belonged. WWE has two wrestlers with tons of potential in Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes. They both proved they could hang with the best of the best in WWE.  What do you think about both Hayes’ faring against Balor? Do you think he’s ready for the main roster? I think he could be but who would be the next NXT Champion? Dragon Lee.  It looks like Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes have bright futures with WWE. It’s up to the powers that be. These wrestlers have massive potential though.
