Honestly, the LT/Bam Bam match was not terrible

Mostly because Bam Bam worked his ass off. Put him in the HOF god damn it!

It was easily the second best match on the card. Sucks that Bam Bam didn't get the full push he was promised. I think it was a mistake making him a face anyhow. He should've been going against D for the title.

New Japan vs TNA main event

Plus Aries vs Itami should be great

Team blue v team black here. Fandango wearing Molly Holly's pants.

Some Devil, who's this Billie Kay girl? I know she was on SD last week. I will have no idea who she is though.

That's it for round 2. Based on the brackets the quarterfinals are as follows:

Akira Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Noam Dar
Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi
TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann

Why were they pushing this MitB as the greatest/best/biggest one?

Just like they push every event as the biggest/greatest/best ever. Wouldn't it be weird if they said, "Well not as great as WM 17 but it's great!" Why even watch it if it isn't as "great" as the other one? That's how they sell you on things.

FWIW,
Gargano
was carried to the back with a knee injury. Probably a work, but I guess we'll see.

Second round was spectacular. Really great stuff.

Yeah they do this with most PPVs that are even moderately successful. It's automatically "THE GREATEST IN WWE HISTORY"

Eighth match:
TJ Perkins b. Johnny Gargano

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our biggest upset.

Had a feeling
TJP was going to go far after they focused on him so much in the Bracketology special, even having him out there at the panel with Bryan/Mauro.

What's very interesting is this means
Rich Swann is now the only guy left in the tournament that's actually under contract to WWE.

Didn't
Ibushi
say a few weeks ago he eventually signed a contract after they kept asking him?

Also
Metalik
says he would accept a contract if offered but claims they haven't offered one, which is standard word even if you have signed.

Is from NXT. She signed in 2015 and was doing mostly just house shows. She just came back from a type of surgery and is about to make her NXT debut.

Ibushi said he turned down several offers from WWE, but has agreed to do the CWC. But he also said there's still stuff he wants to do in Japan so if he's staying after the CWC who knows. He's really quite flaky and hard to pin down. New Japan couldn't hold onto him and he probably would have been IWGP champ eventually there if he'd stayed.

Seems like money and position are not his big goals.

Nash shooting

Giving his blessing to The Club to use the "too sweet" gesture:

"If you're over enough to use that and the people don't sh-- on you, you're over. I don't mind it at all. I just didn't like them bringing in Doc and Anderson, then having that six-man elimination match [against Roman Reigns and The Uso's]. There is no reason to beat those two guys coming in the door. You're missing heel talent and you're going to beat these two guys? But they corrected it. It's almost like, 'No one can get over you except us,' even though you were over someplace else. They make the reference to AJ like he was a Japan guy–he was a TNA guy. He was in Japan for like a year. And the thing is, he's tearing the TV up."

I still feel like NXT is his destination, even if not immediately after the CWC. They'll probably give him a Nakamura-like godfather offer at this rate.

It's like saying Stone Cold is just a WCW guy and he didn't change at all while in ECW, even if he was in WCW far longer.

I can't wait till Samoa Joe becomes the NXT or ROH guy.

I bet he would be happy with being called that. Better than being remembered for Dogs and Ninjas and face tattoos.

Joe is clearly having the time of his life right now, since he's finally actually the featured top star and champ, instead of second fiddle (if that).

I wish that Christopher Daniels was able to be the top guy at any point in his career. He's vastly underrated and deserved it.

BB is the one true victim of the Kliq and that's only because no one like Shane Douglas, who was coughing up blood but being accused of faking it even by non Kliq members like Yokozuna.

No one likes Shane Douglas is the moral of the story.

He basically resurrected his career. TNA beaten down the last few years and their was talk he was done, fat and just lost the passion and was wasted potential.

When he left his lasting image was that pic people posted here and him being sucked in that hole like winnie the pooh.

Did anyone expect he had this run left in him?

Catching up on LU last night. Gift of the Gods was a million dollar match with a ten cent finish. Sexy Star is the Roman Reigns of LU, only the fans there haven't realized how much she sucks yet.

People realize Roman sucks. She's more like the Balor. Also, Billy and Chuck are on SmackDown every week!!! More than anybody so far.
