Raw is entertaining in the same sense a bad horror movie can be.
SD is entertaining in the same sense a good horror movie can be.

Seth Rollins is damaged goods. I can't believe how bad they fucked him up in hopes that the samoan substance abuse machine could get over. He should pray to the wrasslin gods that he gets sent to SmackDown.

Cool. The quicker Crossfit wrestling dies as a genre, the better for the business.

Hollywood Hogan was so fucking cool. That Bash at the Beach promo is up there with the package for Bret/Austin at Mania 13. He says brother a billion fucking times.

We need more characters and less bullshit indy style matches. Ffs, I bet someone could do a piledriver off of a ladder and the receiver would kick out today. Ten years ago a lot of the spamming of moves wouldn't be happening.

I wonder why Alex Riley hasn't tried to go to New Japan yet. He had/has potential.

Here's the thing - I love bullshit indy style wrestling...in indy feds. It doesn't matter when somebody kicks out of 18 finishers in front of 800 fans at an Armory in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
It does hurt the business long term when it happens in front of millions of fans, because it makes every other wrestler less effective.

Seth's style of "moves just to be doing moves" exposed his blandness now that he's not opening the show for 20 minutes...and 10 minute promos at the beginning of the second and third hours and then closing the show. He fucked himself up by constantly seeking a "this is awesome" chant.
Any time that he says brother, he really means the n word.

I've seen people say Nikki
is gonna be fighting Alexa Bliss for the title at Wrestlemania while Becky Lynch fights Mickie since it seems likely that La Luchadora at this rate is gonna be revealed to be Mickie.

Missed the last hour of raw cause an outdoor cat we feed passed away tonight. He just got ill suddenly and the vet said he had liquid in his lungs. RIP Chomper.
Just caught the last match since I just got home a few minutes ago. Glad Jericho won. Seems like now Roman is going over at RR and will be Universal Champ.

A shame they didn't do something like greenscreen Lana into the trailer or at least photoshop her onto the movie poster.

Because he actually thinks it's beneath him, which is why you'll never see him on the indies either...well, that and the fact that he's a colossal asshole who has a hugely over-inflated opinions of himself and his abilities.

Mandrews vs Moloney and Burch vs Devlin should be good, but as with the CWC the best looking potential matches are further into the tournament. Look out for the aforementioned Mandrews, Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate & Trent Seven - they're the stand-out talents, for sure. Bodyguy Roy Johnson has a lot of potential and is something of a dark horse, so perhaps he could surprise people and go further than the first round, or either of the big lads (T-Bone and Wolfgang) could be within a chance of making it to the semis.

To go back and look at the reactions Seth was getting upon his return to now where he's practically got one foot back in the midcard is mind boggling.
WWE completely fumbled The Shield post break up. Only one as over as he should be is Dean Ambrose, and even then you have to contend with him being kind of shit in the ring and probably not the guy you want representing the company.

Don't watch RPW, how good is Matt Riddle? Also doesn't the New Beginning card give away the RPW result?

New Beginning cards look great!
Shibata vs Ospreay should be something to see.
I'm oddly intrigued by Goto vs Juice too.

It was announced as only being an RPW title match if Shibata's still champion.
Also, here's a free Riddle match vs TJP;

Suzuki-gun winning a bunch of titles on their first show back seems like a pretty good bet, tbh. No complaints with a MiSu title run either, even if it does end up being relatively short.

Ah right that makes sense now, thanks.
Cool I'll check that out later when I'm home from work.
EDIT: I actually see Suzuki walking away with the belt here and it ends up being Omega being the one who takes it off him.

This is his RPW debut lol
Riddle vs Ospreay in PROGRESS was great. Everything else I've seen of him is great. He's super over everywhere
Also trotting out this gif cause I can and I love it

That would save Omega vs Okada round 2 for another PPV, which would be smart booking to have both guys go in strong.

That was my thinking, Omega looks good cause he has the belt but it still means Okada looks like he has a shot because he beat Omega last time.
