Punk having some fun on Instagram poking fun at Becky and Seth's naked belt celebration.

Hana Kimura Hana is often remembered (and sometimes exploited) for her tragic death, but I think it's worth celebrating what a natural and charismatic wrestler she was. Her Oedo Tai tag team with Kagetsu was one of the highlights of 2010s STARDOM. Her hard-hitting feud with Giulia pre-COVID also helped establish the style that would lead STARDOM to big success in the following decade, and I have no doubt she would have been a huge star in modern wrestling. Matches: vs. Giulia - STARDOM, 12/24/2019 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS4iJiDkTjs w/Kagetsu vs. HZK & Momo Watanabe, 01/05/2018 vs. ASUKA - 09/02/2018 vs. Kagetsu - 09/10/2017

Things nearly boil over when Taktarov crosses a line. Maeda (hopefully) still manages to send the fans home happy.

Apparently, on the post show, Nick Aldis announced that McIntyre has to defend the title against Cody on Friday at SmackDown. Which could lead to Cody vs Orton and maybe Fatu vs McIntyre at WM?

WrestleWar! Here we go! Pillman's always the way to go to get the fans energized LOL, only Hayes could survive like that. Props to the Bullet. The man still has it At least Holly got one move in. Taker's coming on strong I remember hating it when the VHS versions would cut several matches Hall's moving up Jannetty putting in time as a solo OOOOOHHHH Paul E added even more heat to the Nikita/Rude feud Doom's dominating the tag team scene right now. That match was a statement Steamboat and Hennig steal the show as Steamboat pulls it off. I'm thinking Paul E may have found a way to get the decision reversed Great write up with the War Games. Totally felt like I was there live. Sting's Squadron gets the win but man Sid delivers the final image. Poor Owen. WCW delivers once again

Well I suppose it's true that they tossed all their Mania plans other than Punk/Roman.

Renesto's losing his patience with Tasha The Dudley's bring the comedy and take care of business At least Richie was thinking of Tasha but his gift turns into chaos. Looks like Tasha found herself an enforcer. At some point I think I need a Dudley's/Crazies match LOL The final shot of the chicken at the end cracked me up

I did not see that coming.

Okay, having to cut your TV short because Turner execs didn't realize the overlap with the PPV is classic WCW. As for WresttleWar.... Pillman's Giant equalizer allows him to hold onto the TV title. Hayes winning the elimination match without actually eliminating anyone cracked me up. R.I.P Bob Holly. The live crowd sees a good win for the Natural. Hall & Jannetty get their own showcases. Outside shenanigans between Dangerously & Dusty push Rude over the top against Koloff. I now Paul E was getting mega heat for cracking the Dream with that phone. Another successful defense for Doom puts Demolition at a crossroads. After another barnburner, Steamboat stands tall as the new US champion. Sting's Squadron wins Wargames but Sid puts Owen down to prove he still rules the world.

One of the things that I like about the newer stage set up WWE has been using is the interactions between the talent and the kids on the way to the ring. There have been some really cute visuals. Some talent are even stopping to sign autographs, it reminds me of classic World Class.

That little girl made Orton break on his way down, that was unexpectedly cute.

Damn near a lock for me, model picture of consistency for what, 15 years now? I’m sure there’s good stuff past that too. All time great tag worker, great heel, great TV worker, he just checks a lot of boxes for me.

Yeah that was surreal. And Cole got the teeth!

I just watched it, but I still can't believe Danhausen was on a WWE PLE.

Punk vs Balor was pretty much what I was expecting, a decent solid wrestling match. No surprises, but no complaints from me.

I’ve seen a couple of people on Twitter saying it was a good match as well. I just don’t see that, but to each their own, I guess.

The guy reviewing the show over on 411 gave Becky/AJ 4 stars 😂😂😂

HAHAHA the moment the lights went out I knew what they were going to do, fucking fantastic

The best thing I can say about that match is that it’s over. And I am quite happy that Becky’s reign is, as well.

I admit I'm not a fan of extended dead ref spots but at least in this case it was part of an existing storyline.

Show's 2 for 2 so far, impressive how good AJ is for only having like 3 matches in the last decade.

Wow, that was awful.

Becky dressed like a British police officer is cracking me up.

This is going to be rough I think. AJ hasn’t wrestled in 10 years, and Becky is not exactly setting the world on fire lately.
