Who is this individual who seems to have eaten Matt Hardy 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0?
I've heard of feature creep, but that's ridiculous.

The line fed to Cole this week was "The Divas revlotion really started with Nikki Bella"
The angle is dead and the division will be dead soon.

Matt Hardy will not die-t!
I completely forgot the last segment of that show... Crush ranting with Doink and Crush just saying 'BRAH!' every 5 seconds. It was adorable.

The cuts to ads in this GLORY/Bellator show are super awkward.
Keri Anne Taylor-Melendez bodying Hadley Griffith so far.

As soon as Rob Bartlett leaves I pretty much enjoy RAW from 1993-1996. One hour RAW with squash matches, superstars matches building angles, really weird characters, it's great.
That's a porn name if I've ever heard one
As far as B level PPVs go, I think Night of Champions has a pretty solid card. I feel every title match could go either way and that a good thing, there's still Reigns/Ambrose partner reveal (even if it turns out to be shit, I always love a good surprise factor). The only meh match for me is Rusev vs Ziggler, but at least we can hope that it will end that shitty feud and have them do more interesting things later on.

I'm about ready to resub to the Network again to watch that 97 stuff they added, but I'll immediately fall into that trap of, 'I do not want to watch full 2 hours of any kind of wrestling in a week, much less a day.' It's why I usually pick at my matches over the course of a week rather than all at once.
It's why I liked Lucha Underground so much. It was 1 hour long and it never wasted ANY of that time.

Mediocre one hour wrasslin>good 2 hour wrasslin, though great wrasslin can be 2 or 3 hours.

Pre-Show match: Neville and The Lucha Dragons vs. The Cosmic Wasteland
There's some level of 'comfort food' to the early and late Nitros that I can sort of enjoy it like as background music that I look at out of the corner of my eye. Partially nostalgia but partially for all the wasted money of it. You'd think I'd hate it for what it 'did' to my favorite wrestling company, but I still like it a lot. It's definitely a comfort of familiar voices and faces though I never felt that comfort when some of those show up in TNA because it always felt cheap.
It's also partially why I watch ECW shows and go, 'This is garbage. This is really fucking bad. This sucks.'

When will the Night of Champions thread go up?
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the New Day and the Dudleyz were still feuding by the time Royal Rumble comes around, or even to WrestleMania if they stick a break in there. The only 2 tag teams that get a reaction are 1) a face team of old people 2) a heel team of new people. Its like modern-WWE magic.
Why would there be a Night of Champions thread
its just a random tier 2 PPV
Because of STOING

Seth Rollins (c) vs. Sting for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Even with WWE's love of old people I can't see them going through with this. If Sheamus cashes, Orton will fuck with him so he fails so they can set up even more sheamus/orton matches and by gawd you will love them
Seth Rollins (c) vs. John Cena for the United States Championship - Rollins can't keep both, and its Cena, he needs his win back.
Ryback (c) vs. Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship - The only reason I care about this match is Owens is in it, so I'll pick him even if I don't have a reason why I think so
The New Day (c) vs. The Dudley Boyz for the WWE Tag-Team Championships - they definitely want to set this up to never end
Nikki Bella (c) vs. Charlotte for the Divas Championship - Charlotte losing would be the ultimate in "fuck you" to the audience and even WWE probably has had enough of this
Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and a mystery partner vs. The Wyatt Family - They probably want to set up a rubber match. If the mystery partner is Daniel Bryan, I'll change my vote, but otherwise I'm assuming its Kane who is there to eat the pin
Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev = They obviously want this dumb fucking feud to continue forever
Pre-Show match: Neville and The Lucha Dragons vs. The Cosmic Wasteland = Picking the Ascension to win at a PPV seems like a bad pick but what's the point of the Cosmic whatever otherwise

In this era, the only PPVs that matters are Royal Rumble (or i must say, the royal rumble match itself) and wrestlemania.
All others ppv are glorified RAWs or SDs... Even Summerslam was overshadowed by NXT Takeover ffs.

He almost won too lmao
There's only so much room on the card, Neville is a small guy, and Neville is also the second coming of Justin Gabriel.
He will have a nice career, but his "talent" won't change things for him.

Bellator's made of UFC rejects and veteran champs
Bellator original champ beats UFC veteran champ, clearly he's more important than the average Bellator champ and is now World champ

Kofi's a heel now, and intimated on that Table for 3 thing that he might retire when New Day eventually ends, so Neville is there to do the flippy dippy shit for the kids. It's a good spot to be in, where you get featured on the show regularly and get to hopefully move a bit of merch, but you're right that he's likely never going anywhere. Maybe a strong IC or US Title run someday. Which is totally fine, btw. This idea that every talented performer needs to be in the main event to really matter is silly. Being reliable in having enjoyable matches lower on the card that keep the crowd hype for the bigger stuff is an important job in wrestling. (Not to mention that Neville was only interesting in the tail end of his NXT run, when he basically turned into a cynical opportunist who was willing to break his own moral code to stay champion.)
