As a further point about Hardy: Let's just assume, for the sake of argument, that it's true. He was not concussed. Something happened that lead him to be nonresponsive, but somehow, it wasn't a concussion. He's fine now, and he was fine the whole time. Okay. Well. That means that it worked out okay. But there was no way to KNOW that. Sure, a full CT scan might have later shown that he was totally fine, but that's irrelevant to whether you stopped the match. If we're at a target practice thing, with bows and arrows, and you go downrange to pick up an arrow, I have to stop shooting. It doesn't matter if I hit you, me continuing to shoot was a problem. It doesn't matter if Matt Hardy was ACTUALLY concussed or not. He was in a situation in which a concussion was quite probable, and they didn't know. Assume he has a concussion, and be relieved if he doesn't, don't assume he doesn't and then say "Aha, I was right!"

This was one of the worst years I can recall to be a wrestling fan. I had a hard time making it through a full episode of anything, to the point that I finally cancelled WWE Network. Even after getting my hopes up after WALTER and Dragunov gave me goosebumps and reminding me what it felt like being a fan nearly 40 years ago, nothing followed that kept my excitement up. WWE should be ashamed of their creativity, and while I give AEW more leeway as they are still defining what they are, nothing was as good as it could have and should have been. Also, one of the biggest booking flubs for me was in AEW, having Moxley lose to Omega. Eddie Kingston positioned himself perfectly to be a one month transitional champion, and then they could have saved the Mox as a one man army against Omega and his cronies for later for some catharsis. Being a transitional champ would have only raised Kingston's value, and his ability to talk could have helped build around the contenders' scene with some good tweener feuds with Hangman, Cody, MJF, etc.

Frankly if i had a better idea for "Underground" i would have done this. Underground would be an extreme wrestling set up. All the matches would be Hardcore Rules / Extreme Rules / Deathmatch style matches that happen within the show. The show also has a title belt which is basically a remade hardcore championship title and it gets contested for within the ring. The whole champion system would be set up first as a hardcore battle royal with 10 stars looking to get the title belt. Whomever wins becomes the Underground champion and then challengers can fight for the title. Women also get their own title too.

"We don't need to pick sides in Wrestling!" *gets flashback to the Brodie Lee tributes* WWE: *Has a little Tribute* AEW Fans: "THAT TRIBUTE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH!" WWE Fans: "The Tribute was small but tasteful. They probably also kept it small since Brodie wasn't employed by WWE anymore and so let AEW have the proper send off. Also, if WWE would've done more, you'd probably complain about them doing it only for publicity or to one up AEW!") AEW: *Does Tribute* AEW Fans: "THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A TRIBUTE, WWE!" WWE: *releases some more videos of Wrestlers paying their respect and talking about how great a guy Brodie was etc.* AEW Fans: "YOU'RE JUST CASHING IN ON BRODIE'S DEATH! THAT IS DISGUSTING! YOU CAN'T EVEN LET AEW HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THEIR TRIBUTE!" Sigh... i mean, I tend to gravitate more towards WWE, but come on...

I agree fully that people who are guilty of such things need to be held accountable for what they did, but I'm also just as worried that someone may be accused falsely so that other people might gain from it. While I do hope that these allegations are taken seriously, I also hope that due process is respected such that the bad apples are punished and the innocent are treated fairly as well.

We should always take accusations seriously. As in investigate and look for proof. The burden of proof will always be on the accuser. Because without proof an innocent person's life could be ruined because of false accusations that he or she is punished for before the evidence comes out. Which is the problem with hashtag speaking out. It mirrored the me too movement in the sense that there are bad people in the industry but, too many good ones were thrown to the wolves simply because it's easier to believe something bad happened than the accuser just being a vindictive liar. False accusations have been exposed as false but, everyone including fans would rather sweep it under the rug than address it. Because if people start talking about the dark side of a well intentioned movement then the rest of said movement will lose all credibility.

[@theprince09]

It seems like Raw Underground ended right when they switched to the Thunderdome, which makes sense because they would have to film at two different locations. So it could be that or they just use that as an excuse to end the experiment.

I think Keith Lee's booking has been fine, not everyone can come onto a main roster that's already saturated with talent and be booked with dominance from the get go. I think its more indicative of a lack of trust in WWEs overall booking -which is fair - but him winning two titles, getting promoted to what WWE views as the 'big leagues' and still continue to win most of his matches, even if they aren't all clean, is hardly terrible booking. He's stalled when you look at his run in NXT, but I think WWE like to run with the idea that the main roster is more competitive, and giving him 50/50 booking for a bit isn't really a bad sign in any way - just look at Drew MacIntyre. You can find plenty of examples in AEW and NJPW guys in similar booking limbo, I think those companies have just earned slightly more trust from fans atm.

[@jliller]

It feels like they called up Keith Lee without a clear plan of what to do with him. Him getting thrown into the main event right away seemed promising but it feels like he quickly got lost in the shuffle.

[@ConfusedProud]

@@jliller I agre, I guess I just expected that a little, but WWE tend to wait 6-12 months on the main roster before giving them a real push. Always just saw it as more difficult to win on the main roster in kayfabe, so the plenetiful wins he has picked up are encouraging to me.
