Poor Adam Rose, we all hoped for Leo Kruger in the Wyatt Family and instead he gets saddled with Brad Maddox. The only way this could get worse is if they make ZZ their manager.

is the sick fan the one with the beard?
Brad Maddox is awesome, very underutilized

I love how totally bemused Jay White is by the whole thing.
Just like Vince McMahon, Joe knows that millennials love passion. Thousands of Retweets and Favorites proves it. I just got a little choked up typing this.

Is he? Maybe I missed that run the last few years as I only saw him intermittently and mostly as GM or whatever. What do you recommend?

Oh, he did nothing else. I just think he could be used better
That's NEVER Champion Togi Makabe to you.

Hahaha fair enough, was willing to eat crow if I was wrong. I am a sucker for tag teams so maybe he and Rose will do well.

Screw washing windows for tips, we need more traffic stop lucha;
They're doing a good job of not tipping their hand too early, but I agree it'll be disappointing if both guys get their run to the finals stalled again. I think Naito/Nakamura would be the best way to go, presuming Nak's good to go - Naito gets to beat the man who defeated him in the 2010 G1 finals and earns a chance for redemption against Okada at Wrestle Kingdom.
The only other scenario I want to see happen is Tanahashi winning so we can put the whole Okada/Tana thing to bed, because if it isn't this year then it'll be next year.

Catching up on LU and Matt Striker is driving me insane. For about five weeks straight he's said the line "We won't beat you over the head about equality, just watch the matches."
SAYING IT EVERY WEEK IS BEATING PEOPLE OVER THE HEAD.
Also, that second Ivelisse/Angelico match is an embarrassment. Whoever decided that was a good idea should probably not have a job anymore.

Its super ironic, too. You look at what they do with their intergender matches and what is shown in the ring is anything but equality. The women are clearly being made to appear much weaker than the men. They barely get any offense going for an extended period of time one attach from the guys is enough to get them to desperately reach for the hot tag.
Yeah he has the beard rocking back for that. Don't worry Vince can change mind in 3 weeks to go back to the original plan.

Shibata wining and then winning the IWGP title would be great. They keep hi it g at unifying the IC and heveyweight title. Let Goto and Shibata do it.

WWE removed Hulk Hogan's theme music from Spotify and the entire "WWE Anthology - Vol. 1" album that had Hogan on the box art.
You can still totally listen to Chris Benoit's theme on WWE Anthology - Vol. 2 though.

I look at this and I think, yeah AJ nailed her and the other divas in that segment.

Curses. I was hoping he would return to the gimmick that got me interested in him and join the Wyatt Family.
Just imagine Terrible-At-Everything-He-Does Brad Maddox standing alongside Bray Wyatt, not realising it's a cult the entire time
Yeah the commentary on LU leaves a lot to be desired imo. I'm near half way through the season and Vampiro just gets worse and worse.
Very very mild spoilers for Sexy Star:
She actually talks to Cueto about her gimmick being "I DON'T NEED NO MANNNNNN" in the most obnoxious way possible. Pretty terrible.
El jefe speaks truth
Ultima Lucha Pt. 1 was great. And Dario delivered one hell of a promo there... really do hope Netflix picks this up. Or maybe a DVD/Blu-Ray of the entire series would be released.

I rewatched the first episode. So many things hold up so well - no continuity issues whatsoever. Lucha Underground is amazing.
Yes but now he's with Andrea the Giant and others chatting with Jesus.
Or whatever deity you worship.
Can you imagine the promos!
