God i wish we could get Brock vs Joe because on the active roster between RAW/SD/NXT Joe is one of like 2 people who makes me believe that he poses a real threat to someones health and would love to just see him and Brock get into a ring and just beat the hell out of each other. He is what Ambrose tries to be on a daily basis.

The long term story they're telling with Asuka - the over confident (soon to be heel) champion who gets beaten by some upstart - is a good one. Problem is what do they do after that? Whoever Asuka drops the title to (Ember Moon most likely) is gonna seem near invincible by proxy.

Its the Brock problem.

Outside of a few guys that people feel are strong or tough enough nobody will believe them beating him/her.

The violin people are making me laugh because they have no reason to be there

Wow, not even bothering to pantomime the theme. They probably payed more for the violin rentals than they did for the actors to fake playing them

Why the fuck Joe even bothers? It's pretty clear who'll win just by seeing the effort spent on the entrances

Can't accuse Haitch of not knowing how to put on a show.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
The dumbest and most unnecessarily long entrance in all of WWE

I got grudge sucked!
I liked it and the Dallas match but they're only good when I thought they might be great. I dunno I feel like Bayley, is just a wrestler that doesn't clash well with her.

Part of the issue was the way it was booked. Bayley was still inexperienced and had not fought anyone with Asuka's talent, background, reputation. Charlotte and Sasha are Bayley's contemporaries, Asuka is another level better and thats how the match went, she was overwhelmed.
I think the second match was more of a payoff for Bayley's character at the time. The lack of selling was the whole NJPW fighting spirit thing, and thats sometimes a tricky thing, but it worked here because she was overwhelmed in the first match and she still lost in this one, so it didn't become ridiculous.

Of course all of that was squandered in Bayley's call up.


What am I watching with this entrance?

I have come to the conclusion that YEAOH will never work in the West. They just don't screech it like you have to. It just sounds like a loud YAW at the end.
