Thanks, I'll have a look.
Hopefully not Ricochet and Taguchi. For a hot minute I thought Ricochet was going to say him and Sydal would be challenging. For a minute, I believed.

Nah if he's hurt you can use it for anything can happen in the WWE even at House Shows.
Apparently Owens asked for a rematch tonight so he might just win it back before the night is through. We'll see

Looking at how most of the front row are looking at their phones it seems like it was worth it.

NEVER Openweight 6-Man tag title matches are always the most interesting to me.
CWC was so fucking awesome in how it treated wrestling like it was real and it meant something.
Then Vince gets his hands on it and we have months of Alecia "Fucks".
It's just mind blowing to me how he purposely puts out a bad product.
you have all this talent and you have to double book MSG?

Vince doesn't care about wrestling that is for certain.

What's mindblowing to me is people keep saying this.
Vince isn't doing this stuff just because he loves it. Just like HHH isn't booking himself to fight Sting and overcome him/NWO with DX, himself to say people like Booker don't get to be champs, himself to win world titles and Rumbles just to make Reigns look stronger, just because he loves it.
They both, obviously, love it. But they both, also, genuinely believe it's good decisions. And it's awful WWE's fans continue to ignore that just because they think it all is intentional and that everything will be better when it's only one of them doing it, not both. Ignoring that not only will it still happen, but it'll still be considered the smart/right/good thing when it does.

It's probably a longer than normal house show, and it makes it feel special to do things like that

It would have been really interesting to see how 205 got over with the crowd if it kept the 100% work rate focus from the CWC.
Naw, the matches aren't the problem.

The matches aren't the only problem but they still are one. The CWC used a totally different style from the standard WWE match where as the majority of 205 matches are standard WWE matches. I'm saying this as somebody who thinks Neville vs Mustafa a few months ago was one of my favourite matches of the year.
Wait until after the second match, could be a work

If he truly enjoyed it he would have long term plans and those plans would show themselves in getting to product more popular.
Where is the story? They change plans every fucking day.
You ask most people what they want to do with any fiction they will usually lay out long term plan even if it's unrealistic. Vince pretty much has the ability to do whatever he wants with his product. He's got an event named after testicles. So where is the story for all these "characters"

What match?
Whoever's idea it was to book JR and Josh Barnett, who got names wrong too, should be ashamed.
I mean... does anyone know who Tama Tonga is?

Brock passing the torch to Reigns has been a thing they've had in mind for 3 years now, and are paying off at either Summerslam or Mania
Cena passing the torch to Reigns has been discussed for even longer, and is being paid off at Mania (either this coming one or the following one)
Not even getting to other Mania plans like Taker passing the torch to Reigns being set for, and to main event, Mania months as of the previous December, or Rock/Cena for a Mania being legit announced a full year in advance
You could definitely argue there aren't Enough long term plans, but they definitely have some that aren't screwed over by injuries or crazed fans
Oh people need to calm the fuck down with commentary. Jr did a fine enough job.
And he's an actual fucking name who is able to get on things like ESPN radio to promote the product.
Commentators having a 100% accuracy with nouns is not as important as their ability to sell the match and realism of their workrate and he did that way better than most announcers.
Just read about Aries. Hope he ends up in a good spot.
The problem with Neville is that no one is going to take his gimmick seriously if you were to place him in front of someone like Braun. It'd be like an angry ant.
The cruiserweight division is the only place where he can really shine.

I'm no veteran commentator but if you gave me a sheet with pictures and names of wrestlers and nobody else on the show looked like Tama I could probably call it right.
That's part of the problem though, JR isn't really good at that anymore. I get that he's a big name but couldn't they have paired him with Kevin Kelly or someone that knows what they're talking about?

Seriously. That was the laziest commentary I'd ever heard and I watch WWE every week.
I should be commentating these thangz.
Oh no, it's Marty Squirrel again.
I think we can all agree that the New Japan commentary is missing the key ingredient of forced bickering and yelling. Magic!

People take Finn seriously and Neville is better than him.

He's been commentating for New Japan on AXS for over a year and a half now, and he commentated the 2015 Wrestle Kingdom. I ain't giving him a pass anymore for not bothering to know shit about what he's paid to talk about, because frankly it's unprofessional as fuck and extremely disappointing to see
Kevin Kelly and Vampiro, hell, OwensIsNow and Zach would have done a better job
That's A to Z plans, what about the in between stuff?
Yeah Vince wants to get the bodybuilder with the long hair and Today Show appeal over but what about him doing things in the meantime?
There's just nothing and I wasn't a fan of reigns before his singles push even began but I can't deny he has improved as a worker (still too puch kick for my liking imo) which was my main beef with him.
Put him through the redletter media test

True, but Finn is taller and better looking which unfortunately helps you be ahead in the business.
