WWE Decade-in-Review series continues with 2016; plus, is AEW Dynamite better than WWE’s best modern run of television?

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc continues his WWE Decade in Review series (2016), then compares the popular Smackdown brand run in 2016/17 to AEW Dynamite.

The review of the decade has been a fascinating exercise for Doc thus far, describing as it has the peak of his adult WWE fandom and its downfall. Thematically, Doc labels 2016 “the fork in the road” for WWE and for his own WWE fandom. He tells the story of the year’s ups and downs, including his thoughts on the increasing part-timer problem that Shane McMahon put in a new light with his return, NXT’s further establishment, and the early success of Brand Split 2.0. Wrestler, Match, Mid-Card Match, Underrated Match, and Underrated Wrestler of the Year awards are handed out as well.

Later, attention turns to Smackdown 2016/2017 and the hungry roster that carried it to WWE’s current television product standard for the modern era. How does AEW Dynamite compare to that iteration of the blue brand? Hint: Doc feels AEW is superior in almost every way.

This week, your favorite Nerds spend a lot of time talking about Marvel and the big things happening with the MCU in 2025 and beyond. We begin with a quick visit to the Trailer Park to look at the final trailer for Captain America: Brave New World and the first official trailer for Daredevil: Born Again. In News Around the Nerdosphere, the Russo Brothers gave us some insight as to why they decided to come back for two more Avengers movies, and some rather interesting details about Vision Quest have emerged. All that plus the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, a couple of video game announcements that the guys are excited about, Invincible releases its schedule for Season 3, and we pay our respects to Bob Uecker and David Lynch.
