For a 'B show' ROH - Brew City Beatdown is actually really good - pretty much every match hits the mark. Mike Sydal (Evan Bourne's little brother) looked much improved in the opener against Rhett Titus, right up until he crashed and burned trying to reverse frankensteiner Rhett to the outside, but it was a fun much nonetheless. Jay Lethal vs Mike Mondo was a really tough match, with some more good character building for Mondo. He's not quite over as a face yet, because he is pretty dislikeable, but he keeps having great matches and establishing his intense persona, so I'm sure the fans will warm to him eventually. Next up was a jobber 6-man tag with a bunch of guys I've never heard of, and Tony Kozina. Not a bad filler match, big man Samson Walker looked good. Then, Kyle O'Reilly vs some guy named Tadarius Thomas. Uh, holy shit. This was actually a really fun match, and one where O'Reilly (and this Thomas guy)'s faux MMA styles worked really well. Just a really hard hitting, fast paced match that was compact and focused more on some great strike exchanges, rather than a series of big bump moves, and thus was all the more believable for it. Tadarius Thomas was very impressive here, keep an eye out for him in the future. O'Reilly is a total ass and will make for a great heel. Next, a series of 3 kinda similar, tough, hard-hitting singles matches; the returning BJ Whitmer vs Roderick Strong, Michael Elgin vs the underrated Silas Young, and Eddie Edwards taking on Rhino, which was surprisingly the pick of the bunch. This was one of the best Rhino matches I've seen in ages, fantastic work by both guys. Young and Elgin have wrestled each other numerous times elsewhere, and it showed in their match, really good stuff. Finally, the main event sees Kevin Steen & Jimmy Jacobs take on the Briscoe Brothers and, as expected, after a pointless false start, this was a wild oldschool ROH brawl highlighted by a crazy Mark Briscoe balcony dive. Awesome. There really wasn't a bad match on the show, and the Milwaukee crowd were in good voice throughout. Much better than expected. Recommended.
Tadarius Thomas;
WELSH? WWE? I don't know what to be more offended by.

Cena last year: "I'm the best because I have this, and I earned this. *holds up WWE Title*"
Cena last week: "I may be throwing away a chance at the championship, but I am not going to call you the Best in the World."
John Cena is a liar and a hypocrite. Boo this man.

Challenge: Find a single Cena promo where he doesn't say something that can be proven to be massively hypocritical.

Dude calls himself "new school" while dressed like a decades late hip-hop parody. What a hypocrite.
TNA is a failure. The product may be better now, but you know it's going to revert the other way. It's sour from the top.
Also, I hate their production values. Like, I much prefer super low budget Chikara productions over the weird faux reality show with twisting dutch angles for every match crap that TNA does.

It's fine, none of the marks in this thread can find Wales on a map, much less England. They believe what I tell them. For practical purposes, I'm going to need you to be billed out of Cardiff from now on.
There's too many Englishman in this thread these days, makes things confusing. All your avatars look the same to me.

"Wales" isn't even a real town and "England" is just a fairytale place like "Transylvania" or "Smackdown"
He's an agent for the WWE.

I know it gets mentioned a lot but damn, there was so many more legit people near the main back then. Shit is sad these days in the E.

Net_Wrecker only knows the cities Vince McMahon feels are important enough to be mentioned on air when they host Raw and Smackdown.

Don't know what got into Rhino, but he's been awesome for pretty much this whole run in ROH.

I'm just sayin', if Vince doesn't feel like the city is worthy of a Live broadcast of Raw 1000 SuperShow featuring Brock Lesnar, Mondays at 8PM EST, USA Characters Welcome, sponsored by Be A Star, WWE Studios presents The Day starring Shannyn Sossamon, Tout us what you think, Tweet what you feel, and Facebook what you know.....
....it probably isn't a real place.
Shannyn Sossamon is in The Day? Nice.

That makes it the longest running, weekly episodic show in television history.
This signified the end of the brand split and now Smackdown superstars can compete on Raw, courtesy of WWE COO Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
He has nothing left to conquer.
It's on at 8pm Pacific as well because despite simulcasting their ppv's and embracing social media as much as they have, they still haven't realized that it might be a good idea air Raw live on the West Coast (aka, where N_W wishes he lived). Maybe Raw GM AJ Lee will change that, right Aiii?
Remember Pacific Blue?
Don't be a bully, you A-hole.
Oh man, I hope she's going to be Raw's social media ambassador!
WWE has too much invested in Tout, it cannot, under any circumstances, fail.
Only Professor Beef and Bobo Brazil do that and it's only directed at Tazz.
I know you're a mark-aRRRse-mark and I don't even need to say it on Facebook.
Damn straight, if I find out Raw is coming to me live from Wilkes-Barre, PA- I'm changing the damn channel. Vince is a smart man.

I wouldn't say decade late. That was like 03 04 where people actually dressed like that.

Bill's about to fuck everyone up. Next week can't come soon enough.
Yeah, wasn't Mario Lopez in that?
What was the name of that game show that was on after RAW? I remember Big Show went on it at one point. It was hosted by Frank Zappa's kids or something.

How was your match? I wasn't able to make it.
Extremely entertaining. Crowd was hot and I had them cheering the devil over me. Abra is the ultimate in evil. Ended with El Diablo catching me by the throat as I jumped off the turnbuckle and chokeslamming me. It was great.
After that I stayed in costume for a couple hours drinking, taking pictures, and enjoying the multitude of women making dirty suggestions for things I could do with my mustache.

Nothing wrong with putting your face in someone else's armpit. It's completely natural.Something just isn't right about this picture.

Yup. Vince is also going to hire Heyman as head booker and writer, they're going to limit Cena's overall appearances, AJ is going to go back to wrestling in an overhauled Diva's division, and everybody at home is going to get a pet animal of their choice.
Kings of Wrestling will reunite, Sarah Del Rey will be intercontinental champion, Daniel Bryan will be WWE champion, and JR will replace Cole on commentary.
