Well that was a dumb decision unless Asuka is going to contend for singles gold (i mean Bayley vs Asuka or even Sasha vs Asuka post wrestlemania would be cool).

Kairi is kind of stuffed though but i get the decision if she indeed hasn't resigned yet (especially with rumors that she may look to return to japan).

Couldn't they have gotten Mauro and not the worst play by play the company has ever had.

I know they are trying but wrestling just doesn’t work well without crowd reaction. They definitely can’t do promos like this.

The first match worked because tag matches don't have a ton of down time. This match isnt working because there's a lot of selling.

Are we to imagine that Becky drove to the building in that?

First, Screwball peanut butter whiskey is phenomenal. Second, Gronk is really, really bad.

More than even the match itself it was Corbin before the match. Whole point of that was to get heat. Stuff like that definitely won’t work. Need video package, intros, match. Anything extra is a no.

Mojo has more charisma.


There's not enough diversity in the venues. Three straight matches in the same building. That tag match worked in the PC. The Elias, Corbin match should have been at some kind of music venue. This match should have been in an octagon.

Zero creativity so far.

Might be one of the only people in the company that Goldberg could still lift into a Jackhammer. :lol:

Wow, what a bad finish and a shirt match. Isn't that how Sane beat Shayna?

Follow up: why aren't the entrances more cinematic? You can edit these things as much as you want. Make Lynch look like Clint Eastwood. They should be going all out on produced skits. The Undertaker entrance should look like a supernatural horror film.

They're not making the most of this.

Are all the heels gonna lose lol? So glad they didn't put the title on Shayna. She has no business being in big matches. She's more bland than Natalya.

Another secret to making these matches work: lots of guys talking on the outside

Why would you book a match where the heel stalls without a live crowd? F*cking dumb.

Couldn't disagree with you more. That story works without a live crowd. Just because there are no moves, doesn't mean there's no action.

This has pretty much been trash so far.

Really disappointed by that Zayn/Bryan match. You've got two of the best wrestlers in the world in the ring at the biggest event of the year and that's what you give us? F*ck off.
