The Thread Killer

I think (hope) they have finally pulled the pin on the Jey Uso singles push/experiment. He’s popular as hell, and the kids love him, but once the bell rings? Yikes. I don’t know how you can literally grow up in the business, be surrounded by family members in the business, have a 18 year career…and despite all that, STILL not be able to throw a halfway decent looking working punch. Plus that dude is just so damn sloppy and all over the place. Jey Uso can move all the merch in the world and fans can Yeet until the cows come home, but he just don’t wrestle so good.

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?

I did not see that coming.

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.

Yeah that was surreal. And Cole got the teeth!

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 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.

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.

I don’t get the Kiana James push, but whatever.

That Women’s Chamber match was pretty good, and the right person definitely won.

A lot of people are speculating it might end up being Danhausen? Coming out of a Boxhausen would be a very Danhausen-like thing to do.

Well, according to Vince Russo, during a booking meeting Jim Cornette once loudly proclaimed that “anybody who comes out of a box is automatically over.” Which might be true, although it apparently does not apply to anybody that comes out of a giant egg.

After watching Raw last night, I have one question…
