Good thing there isn't some legendary ass show coming up that will change your opinion of it.

Vince fucking up kayfabe for kids for decades now. Bastard
Pretty sure they did 300+k at least once. I remember it boosting my hopes for a second season at the time.

Aztec warfare match is pretty great. Lots of logical booking and payoffs to month long feuds.
Suprised they didn't put the title on muertas

I'd expect the mask to come off once he splits from Konnan. After that he can hit the mic, show his face and try to hit the bigtime.
That's a damn good spot, I enjoyed that one. Very fresh and playful.
Great choice, sucks up to Cena/Vince and basically says he is keen to work with the top talent, reaching for that brass ring alright!
Also like he said, he's already had great matches with Bryan, time to go for the top dog he's never had a chance to bite.
I keep forgetting Balor is getting up there in age, hope he gets his shot while he is still at the top of his game.
They really need to mix it up, otherwise it just feels like groundhog day flipping on Raw and seeing the same 20 minute opening promo on the same stage and ring with the same people talking. Set up a fucking disco ball or something, just gotta draw enough attention to stop people falling asleep or changing the channel.
Yeah, my fave part of the match was how many stories were told in the span of a battle royal. LU's booking team is great.

Mistico left WWE a long time ago - the current Sin Cara is Hunico, who WWE used before to replace Sin Cara when he was hurt. Sin Cara's been largely very good in AAA, although Alberto's the guy they're strapping the rocket too when they come back...whenever that happens.

These WCCW shows are super informative and despite the in-ring action being 'tame' compared to what we've come to know from the 'modern' indie scene it's really interesting to watch.
Thanks for posting this story. I just learned a heck of a lot about a part of lucha libre I didn't know much about.

That guy in the front totally overshadows the out of place refined middle aged woman just behind him. She's probably a classically trained stage actress out of work.

Jeez if you think 2001 was a bad rumble you should go back and see the other AE era rumbles like 2000 and especially 1999.
Just noticed the kid in the back just not giving a solitary shit.

I know this has been around for awhile, and he was paid to do this, but I hate this guy so much.

The screen that inspired that is one of my most perfectly-timed ever.
Holy fuck.
He looks like a Bill Plympton cartoon come to life.

'The Samoan' in WCCW did he go on to become someone with a name I'd recognise? Also, I'm loving all the masked, European and Japanese wrestlers so far.
Borash.
Really wonder if he has some sort of physical condition that's making his face balloon out like that, or if he just eats a lot.
He gets paid in tacos and hot dogs. After 10 years, that will wear on your body.
He was?

Man he's so skinny! Those genes are so going to get Roman Reigns in the end.

Rikishi was skinny once upon a time.
So was his brother.
Look at how the Usos started out:
And now:
In about 5 years hopefully they'll be about early SST size.
they explained it as "we fight sometimes"

Them breaking up was just a storyline done for Total Divas anyway. They got back together once filming for the show ended.
WWE writing at its finest. Sisters are gonna be sisters.
Brutal storyline with no payoff.
The pay off was getting rid of AJ, which is quite a win for everyone.
A fair point.
Is AJ actually gone yet? Felt like she was running on fumes for months the last time I saw her in November.
So they will see Bryan's first match back then everyone else.

Lol trying to compare with Powers of Pain. They should of said Power and Glory.
Their finisher is weak. Looks like someone forgot a button when tag combo

Roman Reigns is getting buried. From the prowrestling.net Smackdown report:
"Reigns then called him a son of suffering suckatash, and said his brain was donkey dung. Rollins demanded to know why he was really out there, and Reigns said he was there to kick his ass. He then cleared the heels from the ring and they scampered up the ramp. They gathered on the ramp, and Kane and Big Show joined them."
