Apples and oranges friend.

Nitro is a sports show featuring wrestlers, Raw is sports entertainment featuring superstars.

But it so fucking good man. Even shit like the crowd being well lit to take advantage of the colorful crowd.

I didn't really get into wrasslin until 98-99 so this WCW stuff was way before my time.

Benoit vs Eddie.

My god what a match.

You know what an underrated WWE PPV is (because its in that dark age of 07-12 that all blends together)?

Great American Bash 2007.

The cruiser scramble is fun, a surprisingly good Jeff Hardy/Umaga match,and Cena/Lashley ha s a Big Fight Feel.

(Just skip anything involving Khali).

Is that the one with Cena calling JBL a poopy?

..#2smarky4me

It also has Candice Michelle win a hardfought match to retain the Women's Championship, and immediately soak herself in water for no reason backstage while the Hardy Boyz jerk off.

..Giving Divas a chance, alright.

I ain't gonna lie. I didn't realize R-Truth wasn't in the Money in the Bank match until Kane pointed it out.

See I thought thats what they were going for(That he's always in these multi-men gimmick matches), and not "He thinks he's Kofi" thing everyone was saying.

* A six-man match with Neville, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns vs. Kofi Kingston, Sheamus and Kane is announced for later.

* Dean Ambrose kicks off SmackDown with the WWE World Heavyweight Title. He talks about touring New Orleans and posting the photos on Instagram and what happened at RAW with Seth Rollins, who comes out. Rollins threatens to come get the belt if Ambrose doesn't give it back. Ambrose drops it and leaves but Rollins discovers it's just a replica title belt. Ambrose says he lost the title somewhere in New Orleans and the last few days have been a blur but he will find the title and bring it to Money In the Bank. Ambrose leaves and out comes Kane, who announces Dolph Ziggler vs. Rollins for tonight.

* Ryback defeated The Miz with Shellshocked. After the match, Big Show came out and said he's unimpressed. Show says he's going to take the Intercontinental Title at Money In the Bank and Ryback is no match for him. Ryback tells Big Show to bring it.

* Backstage segment with Orton, Neville and Reigns talking MITB.

* R-Truth comes out for commentary for the next match - King Barrett vs. Jack Swagger. Truth put on Barrett's crown and cape during the match and danced on top of the announce table. Barrett won with the Bullhammer.

* We see highlights from Michael Cole's interview with Lana talking about how she laughs and has a good time with Ziggler. Rusev interrupts and want Lana back. She tells him it's over and he gets upset. Rusev yells at Cole and starts hitting the chairs with his crutches.

* Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler with a roll up and a handful of tights.

* Paige defeated Alicia Fox by submission.

* Reigns, Orton and Neville defeated Sheamus, Kane and Kofi Kingston by DQ. Neville went up and grabbed the briefcase while the rest of the Superstars were outside of the ring. Neville placed the briefcase on the ground before walking to the back.

:jnc neville and swagger and especially rusev

Well Smackdown ends with
Neville taking out 8 men and was the last one standing with the briefcase.

Well he is not winning money in the bank.

Man, I haven't watched any New Japan in at least 4 weeks now. I guess I should watch the BOSJ final and...?

The BoSJ final is the only essential one, but all these were good;

Liger vs Komatsu, Fish vs Romero, O'Reilly vs Komatsu, Cavernario vs Baretta, KUSHIDA vs Fish, KUSHIDA vs Romero, O'Reilly vs Gedo, Owens vs Taguchi, Dorada vs Cavernario and the KUSHIDA vs O'Reilly final.

Batista's comeback run would have been so much better if it happened after Guardians of the Galaxy. Have him come back as Super Douchetista who now thinks he's better than everyone and should have the title because he made it in Hollywood.

It also would have been so much better if he could go 2 minutes without getting blown up.
