Another great NXT this week. Great match between Cesaro and Neville, good match between Kaitlyn and AJ, Maddox outshines Big E by jobbing to him, and Wade gets cheered and chanted for decimating Bo Dallas

I hope they stay on the road. Crowd seems to be better this week.
Last week was Corpus Christi which killed there ratings. lol
Vs. NBA playoffs + NFL Draft, nah.

Tarryn is so freaking hot. Vince has to think about bringing Bully in, his mic work is absolutely outstanding.

He recently re-signed with TNA. Also, he's got a lot of Heat with some of the people in the WWE locker room. They were cold prior to leaving WWE before.
AJ Style is loyal no matter how many crappy storylines they put him in and Samoa Joe stays because of the schedule.

Why does he have heat in WWE? I guess I missed that story.
The schedule is becoming less and less of a reason every year.

Is Jesse not with Tara anymore?
They are probably frowned upon in the locker room.....and then winked at......and then a laugh before the person is asked if the other person can borrow some.

Rob Terry, Brock and Dwayne must have the same supplier. Terry is a GD monster!

Two Knockouts matches in one episode? Now I've seen everything.
You obviously didn't see the episode that was all knockouts matches.
It's ok, not a lot of people did.
Maddox talked like Bane once.
I want to see Terry wrestle Mason Ryan. That would be awesome.
Just thinking about these buff dudes makes me want to go to the gym and pop some andro

Listen to the last MLW Radio, ep 71. He works stiff, bad for business. Plus, he's really a Bully. It makes sense considering the way they left the company. But...$$$ always have made Vince forgive and forget. Problem with Bully is he's a good heel. WWE have enough heels, it's faces they're hurting on.

Can you imagine WWE today giving that much time to the Divas division? Or actually having a Divas match that goes through a commercial break?

O.O Impossible. I've gotta see this.
Nothing but a pipe dream.
The Great Sasuke vs Taka Michinoku WWF Canadian Stampede 1997
Before the match started, Mankind and HHH brawled from the back out into the crowd. They were trying to make a big deal out of Taka and bringing in a lot of talent for him to face, but only for one or two matches. Sasuke has a nasty half crab. Taka slaps the shit out of him and hits a dropkick to the back of the head. He gets back dropped out of the ring and Sasuke does a diving karate kick to the floor. He definitely took the worst of that. It goes back to the ring and Sasuke kicks Taka's fucking head off. Some neck breaking shit. Some more kicks and Taka learns by hitting a dragon screw. No hands dive from Taka. Sasuke hits an Asai moonsault. Missile dropkick to the back. Michinoku Driver. Sasuke kicks out! Sasuke wins with a dragon suplex.

The Great Sasuke vs Taka Michinoku WWF Raw 1997
The rematch. Tope from Sasuke pretty early. Taka tries a moonsault, but crashes and burns. He then repeats the spot and hits it. He misses another moonsault in the ring. Space flying tiger drop! Big powerbomb. Sasuke wins again! Did Vince want to build the division around him instead?

CIMA/Tokyo Magnum/Judo SUWA vs La Parka/El Dandy/Hypnosis WCW 1998
Magnum and La Parka start off with a dance off. Hypnosis accidentally kicks Parka in the dick. We get a dive sequence that ends with a Parka Asai monsault. In the ring, CIMA tries to put Hynposis away. Hypnosis instead hits a guillotine leg drop for the win. After the match, Parka drills Hypnosis with a chair and dances. And spits on him. Through his mask.

CIMA/Tokyo Magnum vs Disco Inferno/Alex Wright WCW 1998
Magnum sneaked up and decided he was going to dance with Alex and Disco. They didn't like it. The tape was garbled, so I missed most of the match. Alex beat CIMA with a neck breaker. But At least I got the dancing.

CIMA vs Ernest Miller WCW 1998
Jericho and Ralphus brought CIMA out. Cat made short work of CIMA.
American Dragon/Lance Cade vs Mammoth Sasaki/Naohiko Yamazaki FMW 1999
Cade comes out with a cowboy hat and D-Bryne was wearing an actual American Dragon mask and red/white/blue tights. Dragon starts out with some mat work with Yamazaki. The bigger guys get tagged in. Dragon is so small. He looks pretty polished, though, ridiculous get up notwithstanding. Stretch muffler powerbomb from Mammoth. Dragon hits a sweet moonsault to the floor. Cade hits a dive of his own. Flying elbow from Dragon. Albert Bomb to Dragon. Or Mammoth Bomb, probably. Chokeslam. Cade breaks up the pin. Cade kind of hits a powerbomb, and Dragon hits a dragon suplex for the win.

This was boring as fuck. Cade got pinned after a backdrop driver.
Bryan Danielson vs Jamie Noble WWE 2003
Oh shit. Much like Regal/Inoki, this isn't exactly a gifable match, but it is a fun technical sprint. Jamie-san won with a snap spinning neck breaker.
John Cena vs Brian Danielson WWE 2003
LOL at Cena's banana pants. What the fuck. The Dazzler does some dazzling arm work. Dragon eats a lariat and flips all around and shit. Protoplex for the win.

Bryan Danielson/John Walters vs Spanky/Paul London WWE 2003
ROH represent, yo. Dragon and Spanky start out with some intense grappling and pin attempts. London gets tagged in and is a house of fire on fire in a house. Dropsault. Spanky/London win after a flatliner/enziguri combo. This was actually shorter than the Dragon/Cena match.

A handful of matches left. After that, back to slogging through the ECW project which is far less fun than I had hoped.

That was a fun show. I still mark for classic hogan, screw the IWC. That being said I think they keep Aces & 8's strong, I don't think this will turn into a Triple H style burial. That being said this company needs to revolve around Roode and Aries. Those guys are stars and need to be utilized better.
