It's such a good entrance, then you're so disappointed when the white lights adjust and you see that goober of a garbage look. What a waste.

Do they have a Hogan licensing agreement with Marvel for that one

Is Matt Riddle an actual good wrestler? I've only seen his MMA fights in UFC and he was pretty mediocre there.

Just the network, I'll look up some of his stuff on youtube.
EDIT: Watching random match against Cody Rhodes and at least he doesn't call himself "Deep Waters" anymore.
EDIT 2: Nevermind the commentator just called him Deep Waters.

I think his matches with Hero were there at some point but may be gone now
If you get round to them, his matches with Shibata and Ospreay are both great

Riddle vs TJP;

Cody is garbage.
He's fairly green, this will undoubtedly be the biggest match of his career - ROH signed him after last year's top prospect tournament, where he lost to Lio Rush in the semi-finals. Since then he's been teaming with BJ Whitmer, but no one saw any of it because it was on ROH TV. Interested to see how well he does here, kinda been thrown in at the deep end - I guess either ROH see a lot of promise in him, or it's indicative of how depleted their roster is these days.

They're actually going with Tiger Mask W and not Ibushi? LMAO.
Hope this leads to a Mr. America type thing where Omega is the only person who recognises him.

Just watched Elimination Chamber. Wasn't spoiled for the results for the first time, possibly ever, and that's definitely the way to watch. Forget rumours, booking odds or whatever Meltzer has to say about upcoming plans (although I'm interested in hearing behind the scenes stuff from recent events).
So the two things were:
- I was surprised and happy to see Naomi win the title. Regardless of what some people say, she's one of the best female wrestlers in the company and has been for a while. I have absolutely no idea why people are down on her, except for a few gimmick things, but let's be fair, pretty much all of the female wrestlers have shitty gimmicks. At leat Naomi's entrance is fun to watch. Sure she botches here and there but that's because she's got a varied and athetically impressive moveset. Really wasn't expecting her to win, so that was a nice moment.
- I actually was spoiled for the Wyatt win, not as in 'he's definitely winning this match', but a few weeks ago I heard the 'rumour' that Wyatt v Orton was supposed to be the WWE title match for mania, so I saw it coming and felt nothing. Had I not heard that, I might've been intrigued by the result. Even so, good to see a new champion. Glad AJ stayed in the match the longest.
Show was okay overall, kind of boring though. They need to sort out that tag division and properly develop the midcard.

I don't think there's anything particularly confidence boosting about those ROH shows. Good example of what an absolute state the promotion's in, though.
Also, just think how much better those cards would be with the talent ROH let slip through their fingers this past year - Lio Rush, Donovan Dijak, Keith Lee, Jason Kincaid, ACH, etc.

Didn't even notice that when writing the cards up, what a missed opportunity! Also, where the fuck is Cheeseburger? Legitimately the most over ROH guy in Japan.

Notice that Delirious always makes sure he's wrestling whenever they tour Japan. Now there's a gimmick that was played out a decade ago, let alone in 2017.

Ah well, good for Naomi.
AJ is too f**king good not to be involved with something major at WM. I really hope they do something with him, he deserves it.

Wrestling against Shane is perceived to be "something major" by the WWE.
Probably one of the most over, relevant and biggest draws in the company when it comes to Wrestlingmania.

That is kinda true.
Sports entertainment mania is always about spectacle. Maybe a lot of people like us would rather see a 30 minute match of AJ vs Nakamura or whatever, and wrestling someone like Shane who isn't a good wrestler is kind of disappointing, to most of WWE's fans it is probably a pretty big thing.
because he's a professional?
because he wanted to?
because he was asked to?
because he did even stupider shit in TNA and this is a far grander stage than that?
maybe because it was his first EC and he wanted to do something "special"?

Are we expected to just accept that neither Cena or AJ get their rematches before Mania? Make it a fatal four way at Mania. It frees up more room on the card, and would be better than the forecasted AJ/Shane and Orton/Bray.
Let Miz continue to go off on DBry to the point where Shane has to step in between them, and set up that match. Story wise, it makes a lot more sense - dude has been angry at how the show has been run for months. AJ has been angry at them like, one time.

I WAS HITTING THE REF ON PURPOSE
I just don't want the man to kill himself, doing spots he doesn't have to do.
None of this is going to happen
Why won't Cena get a rematch? Can always have him to the job to Wyatt after Orton interferes.
Can't have a good match with such a easy match..
Yeah that was my finisher F5 need to rename it to something more black sounding.....
I didn't like the padding and felt it took away from how dangerous they kept saying the EC was. The worst thing was the untagged spoilers.
Edit:
Harper's weird moving wood entrance was the worst.

I like Naomi and I'm happy for her but I don't think she's that great in the ring. She has a few cool moves but that's it.
Regardless I'm still insanely happy for her and think that her going into her hometown as champ is sweet.

There's still 7 weeks into Mania and Vince is insane. I can sadly see her dropping it the week before just for vince to get a giggle. I'm looking forward to her entrance with the belt Tuesday.
Wasn't the old EC outside ring steel or something?
