Isn't the most recent GFW thing "Giving Cody a belt"

There were a lot of rough bumps from the event.
That doesn't make the rest of it good.

I thought you were anti-Kenny, or is that Data?
Yes! It's a Slappy new Year!

Oh shit Dutch Mantell is apparently in Orlando with the Jarretts
Okay, I might be interested in the TNA rebrand if Dutch is doing Creative

I'm pro Kenny Omega
That's the only way to get them now, sold out pretty much immediately when they went on sale.
Be prepared for about $60 each and that's for shitty tickets like mine.

Some other WK 11 thoughts:
I thought Takahasi looked pretty sloppy. I guess I was expecting a lot more from him, but there are more than a few moments where he just doesn't do things right. The top rope powerbomb for one
I don't get the criticism over length of the Omega/Okada match. Yes, it was long but it never felt like it wasn't telling a story. The whole thing ebbed and flowed, with slow builds and each guy getting their time. I would much rather that level of match than a 20 minute finisher spam fest.

I honestly thought only 25-30 minutes had passed when the main event finished.

Agreed. I felt the length a lot more on Tanahashi/Okada at WK10 despite that being 10 minutes shorter. I also can't recall the last match that had me on the edge of my seat for basically 20 minutes.

Vince will get back at NJPW with a RAW main event of Roman vs Owens in a submission match with special referee Mick Foley

The ending of that match means so much more when you have a long buildup towards it, so the escalation towards so many finishers doesn't feel jarring our out of place.
The pacing of that match was fucking perfect.
Didn't feel like 45 minutes at all.

God, fuck. Reminds me of the couple of times I tried for force myself to watch RAW recently. Whomever is the lead writer for RAW right now needs to be straight up fired.

That's it? Shit, I paid a stupid amount for my nxt Dallas tickets. I think almost 5 for two bad tickets but had the time of my life with my lady. Fucking scalpers.

Dude is too wrapped up in WWE shinanigans. Think about what it does to your excitement if you're on Galveston beach one day and then Huntington Beach the very next.

If you're looking for cheap, I'd snag them before they start announcing matches as I'm sure people will buy real quick. Sure, we know we'll get a Nakamura headlining match, but I bet they'll truly sell out when they start announcing things.
Greatest match of all time
The flip to his feet off Omega's shoulders was just effortless. When they do that flip to their feet from Cena's AA you can see them positioning their arms and prepping for ages before, then no one ever properly lands on their feet except Cesaro. Okada just floats off perfectly like it was nothing.
One low camera angle showing the entire dive and tumble afterwards, no need for five cuts and two zooms.
I paid $35 per ticket (plus service charges, of course) to go to NXT TakeOver: Dallas.

How kill all momentum in a match and story. That spot from Roadblock was just absolutely awful

Raw writers on Monday morning: "Alright team, Smackdown is really bringing the heat. AJ and Cena 3 is going to be a solid feud, Ziggler is getting a fresh coat of paint, and the mid card belt is actually being used. What can we come up with?"
*Vince breaks down the door* "HAVE ROMAN SPEAR THE ENTIRE ROSTER ALL AT ONCE!"
Seth is getting a new theme apparently...

How about a new finisher?
And yet Cesaro still has a theme that doesn't match his current entrance whatsoever.
I paid $35 per ticket (plus service charges, of course) to go to NXT TakeOver: Dallas.
My ticket face value for Takeover Orlando was $25, but after fees and parking (worth it for Amway BTW) I paid $67.
Amway Center has a bridge from the paid parking deck to the arena without leaving the deck. It's an amazing convenience and a much shorter line than outside.
ehh, still sound like butt rock. can't be worse than his current theme, though.
Hm, I don't know if I like it.
I actually think the lyrics make it worse, he does need a new theme though...
How did Dean end up with the best theme of the 3
Yeah, that's going to take a while to get used to. I actually like his current theme.

Meltz on WWE & Omega: https://streamable.com/5elpq
I know what Meltz is saying here, but to think that he could be NJPW Kenny Omega in the current iteration of WWE is just silly.

His completely wiffed top rope senton to the outside was terrifying.
I can't believe Downstait is still being used.
Wiffed or wasn't caught?

I only blame myself since I joked to my girlfriend we should go to wrestlemania on our anniversary and she loved the idea, this was about a month before. Nakamura debut brought the hype. (And the expensive tickets)

It looked like he launched himself towards the barrier when Kushida was close to the ring apron, at least to me.
