I'm sure not everyone will be a fan of this move, but I thought it looked phenomenal in the context of the match.

It looks like the February 4th episode of NXT will have

Hideo Itami vs Finn Balor

and we'll get
Adrian Neville
vs the winner of that at Takeover.

I may be wrong.....but that is how the
#1 contender tournament
is looking right now.

They only try tonight with Smackfown because of the move. Wish it always felt like like less like an afterthought on a weekly basis. But yeah, tonight is great.

You think so? Seems like the same old shit.

The only thing that seems same old to me is how uninvested the crowd is.

I thought all of the matches were pretty forgettable from Smackdown yesterday. The promos were mostly great though.

-Great Bryan speech
-Great Rollins and Heyman exchange
-Good Dean Ambrose backstage stuff

...and then the matches happened. The six-man at the end felt like it was paint-by-numbers.

Conclusion: Another great show from Lucha Underground. At this point, I’ve come to expect nothing less. All of the performers here put their hearts and bodies on full display for the audience, and the passion was palpable. The fact that the stories make sense, get follow-up, and are actually interesting makes this the can’t-miss weekly pro wrestling show.

If you haven’t checked out Lucha Underground yet, you’re totally missing out because it’s quite easily the freshest televised wrestling show out there in January 2015. That’s not even hyperbole but a legit fact at this point.

HIGHLY recommended.

I still don't know how Sting V Taker is a dream match. I thought it was just by default with Taker being the only WWE guy left from that era.

It's just kinda developed out of that era of Crow Sting and The Undertaker being big dudes of their opposing companies that had supernatural elements to their showmanship.

Although Kane vs Undertaker and their partnerships kinda satisfied that itch for me tbh. Would still love to see that match put them both into retirement but it's super selfish of me. They should both just hang up the boots and try to enjoy the rest of their lives with their beaten, battered and torn up bodies.

What's the general consensus here on Sasha Banks? I friggin love her so much. She's one of the more interesting women wrestlers the WWE has right now and I hope they keep her gimmick the same when she goes up to the main roster.

Totally awesome to watch. Highly entertaining and is great in the ring. Sports entertainer AND wrestler!

The charges on Slater were dropped because the statue of limitation had expired. So, uh, yeah. Hope he really didn't do that shit.

That's pretty shit. I wonder if the details will come out on what the police would have alleged.

This match isn't half bad, maybe it's the lack of Cena that's clouding my judgment. It's not totally free from suck though, it still has Big Show's smelly ass.
