Would've this be better to air this AFTER smack down, to keep the brands separate.

Best Match: Gargano/Ciampa
Worst Match: Noam Dar/Sihra
Favourite Performance: Ibushi
Least-Favourite Performance: Da Mack
Biggest Surprise: Raul Mendoza
Biggest Dissapointment: Tajiri

ZSJ's match was such an afterthought he didn't make an impression so far one way or the other.

Best Match: Gargano / Ciampa
Worst Match: Sihra / Dar
Favorite Performance: Rich Swann
Least Favorite: HoHo Lun
Biggest Surprise: Lince Dorado
Biggest Disappointment: Zack Sabre Jr.

I am hoping Sabre is more entertaining in his next match, but I find Gulak boring, too, so not expecting much. I am guessing Tajiri loses in the next round, so you won't have to see him around for too much longer after Metalik advances.

Next Sabre match is a lot more explosive and better than his first match. You won't be disappointed.
 
Not sure what compelled me to watch it but I have the Owen Hart tribute show playing in the background while I build furniture. This is depressing. 😔
 
There's nothing refreshing about that. You could take that script and put it into the mouths of just about any other superstar.

The 'almost forgot only the most important belt in the company in a taxi cab" gimmick is better because it shows he doesn't give a shit about the back office culture and reminds everyone that only the results speak.Everything else, including the belt, is inconsequential.
Different strokes for different folks you know?

It's clearly a shop, brother. Hell, you can still see specks of red on the left side plate that they failed to shop out.
Yeah, when they announced it, some cat said he knew a little bit about it so that's why I'm skeptical of it. The best thing would be that the titles wouldn't be switching back and forth like it was once before.
What does Jobkaveli have against 'Big Money' Bryan Alvarez?
EXAGGERATION!

Still think that Blue & Red belts should be decided at smaller PPVs and special events on TV, with the current holders squaring off at big PPVs to be the No.1 contender for the Black belt.

Plus, with WCPW becoming a haven for ex-WWE talent (Sandow, Rhodes, Angle), I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryback there in the near future.

Dar was definitely sloppy, and they never got on the same page in that match. He'll be forced to keep it simple against Lun, which might be a good thing.
