The Thread Killer

Wh...wh...what? Somebody actually wrote that? And they meant it?!

That's a hell of an idea. Instead of Hell in a Cell, they could hold the match in the Turkish Embassy, and the loser gets beheaded.

The only reason I even watched MITB to begin with is because I wanted to be able to flip back and forth between this and the Raptors game, and I promised my goofy roommate that I'd wait until she got home from work at midnight before watching GoT with her.

I don't know what's sadder, the fact that Ali had enough time to unfasten the case about 10 times before Lesnar lumbered to the ring, but instead he stood there like an idiot... Or the fact that Lesnar was trying to look all smug, cocky and cool as he climbed the ladder, but you could clearly tell he was worried about falling off as the ladder wobbled. Gotta be honest, at this point if they're going to be this stupid, they may as well go all in and have Lesnar show up on Smackdown, cash in and squash Kofi for the title in three seconds. If you're going to be dumb, then commit and go all the way.

Balor is going to be crippled from this match.

That Andrade/Balor sunset flip spot was FUCKED UP.

They can dress it up however they want, but it's still Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens in a WWE Title match. Only so much you can do with that.

I get the Network feed as an actual TV channel through my cable provider, so my feed has been fine. I missed the entire AJ/Rollins match because I took my dogs out in the yard, so it could have crapped out then, I guess. But as a TV channel it never really does give me trouble.

Did Michael Cole just say "slaughterous?" Also, it should be noted that Cole sounds near orgasmic when he describes Sullivan. Either that or he's doing a bad Ranallo imitation.

OMG Lars Sullivan is going to beat up on three Mexican dudes! He hates them almost as much as he hates Jews and Women and Arabs and...

Yeah upon closer examination, that does not look like my Mom's dressing gown. Her gown doesn't have spiked shoulders or long fringes. At least I hope it doesn't. *shudder*

I don't understand Elias's wardrobe. It's like Luke Harper's ring gear covered by my Mom's dressing gown.

Maybe this is all leading to them bringing back Mr. T as a special trouble shooting referee for the big matches. You probably had to be a WWF fan from the 80's to get that.

I liked that - to quote JR, that was a good little piece of business.

OMG HORN HONKER HORN HONKER!

The announcers talked about how Tony believes in hard work, so he must be the good guy, whereas Daivari wears a gold necklace, brags on Twitter about tanning, and drives a car and honks his horn. Can't be a bigger heel than that. C.S. I hope you've never honked your horn, because that would make you a bad person and I would have to lose all respect for you.

Oh no! They took Sami to a local medical facility!

It's bad enough that they put the title on Nese for reasons I can't even possibly fathom, but with all the talent on that roster and they can't come up with a better challenger? Talk about booking the division to fail.

Holy crap this match is fucking awful.

LOL Daivari literally stumbled and fell on his ass trying to apply that submission.

You can tell Daivari is a heel playing head games with the champ, because he drove his car through the curtain and honked the horn. Only a heel would do that. Or a person who is really proud of his car, I guess.

So the Cruiserweight Championship finally gets defended on the Main Show, not the Pre-Show...and it has to be a Tony Nese defense.

I have no interest whatsoever in this match, but I am a big fan of Shane McMahon ripping off an old Bugs Bunny cartoon when he makes the announcer keep bellowing his name.

Based on her worked "limp" I'd have to guess yes.

You said it. After watching a bunch of Impact and MLW, the difference in camera work is really jarring. Considering the higher budget, you'd think WWE would be better...but no.
