ROH was pretty good this week.
No, seriously. The American Wolves vs ACH & Tadarius Thomas was actually pretty awesome.
*edit, oh, you said not on TV. I forgot NXT isn't on over there.
I need to start watching ROH again. It's just a matter of getting back into it I guess.

If feel like raw could go back to 2 hours and the 8 o'clock hour could be NXT.
Would be a nice way to show off future talent

ROH isn't on television depending on your market.
I think we also said this back when you had to illegally watch FCW if you didn't live in Florida.

Yeah, I'm kinda forcing myself to watch it again - the match quality was never an issue, the presentation just felt stale, but after the 11th anniversary iPPV surpassed my expectations I felt I should give the TV show another shot.
Steen and Richards talked up how it has improved since Cornette has been gone and I have to agree....also the addition of making the house shows delayed iPPVs makes those shows kind of worth seeing again.

For a while there those house shows were so awful, they really were phoning it in and I have no idea who would have bought those DVDs. I'm glad they've seemingly improved in quality and having them as delayed iPPVs definitely helps - I bought the Honor vs Evil event from last month and it was a fun show, I'd certainly buy more if they can keep the cards interesting.
Yeah, the crowd is basically dead.
The double taping I went to a while back wasn't so bad. That taping featured Roode's awesome turn on Storm across the those two episodes. It wasn't draining at all those weeks.

My buddy is at NXT tonight. Looking at his pictures it looks like he got

Cesaro v Neville
I worked the show last week (photographer) and it actually flew by. All the backstage stuff was taped earlier in the day, even before the first episode. I actually got to sit backstage and watch it being taped. Was pretty cool.
The crowd was really hot for the 1st episode, but as expected, cooled off for the 2nd one because they had seen everyone earlier in the night.
Well, you were working.....of course it flew by for you.
True. The second episode only took like an hour, though, because there were no commercial breaks and we didn't sit through the backstage stuff. It was just one match after another.

AJ wants Bully at Starrcade.
Let this be a sign, WWE. End it now while its early days.

I'm okay with that. I see him doing a fall from grace story, and then working his way back up the ranks. Looks like he's pretty locked into his character right now, weight gain, shaggy beard, and everything. I dig this version of AJ. Decent segment with Tenay, Tazz, and Storm there, though a little busy. Just went to show that AJ's not listening to anyone.

Man, I think almost half the show has been that documentary (not that it's a bad thing in this case, given it took 9+ months to play out).
I'm okay with them trying to save this storyline. At least it's now making progress. The buildup was absolute garbage, but the explanation works well. The only thing that STILL hasn't been explained is...why? What's the point? What's their motivation? Just to fuck over Hogan? Why?
NXT Spoilers:
Dark Match: Sammy Sane (formerly El Generico) b. Briley Pierce in a quick match. The crowd was chanting Olé all throughout.

* William Regal attacked Kassius Ohno at the announce table. Dawson and Maddox talked about it once the ring crew fixed the damage.
* Paige and Sasha Banks b. Audrey Marie and Summer Rae when Paige hit the Paige Turner on Audrey after Summer left. After the match, Paige immediately went to the back to go after Summer.
* NXT Champion Big E Langston b. The Ascension Conor OBrian with the Big Ending to retain. After the match, Big E hit yet another Big Ending for good measure and did the 5 count.
