The Thread Killer

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.

I've been watching this show for exactly 9 minutes and I already want to punch Byron Saxton in the mouth. I never appreciated how much Corey Graves keeps him in check before, by barely letting him talk.

I don't see any fallout for Vince either, since WWE (showing their typical tact and sensitivity) have already released excerpts of an email Ashley Massaro allegedly sent them last year, attempting to "mend fences." Pretty sickening that this poor girl's body isn't even in the ground yet and WWE is releasing private emails to basically say "this wasn't our fault, see?" I guess they're worried people are going to draw a line from her previous claims of CTE, to her reported depression and suicide, to WWE.

Touched a nerve, did I?

Well, we all know Rovert is the most reliable source because he has a lot of Twitter followers and is friends with a lot of wrestlers and wrestlers have even been to his house...but then again Conrad also has a lot of Twitter followers and he knows even more wrestlers who have also been to his house, so I don't know who to believe and the world is just so confusing to me right now.

I know if you go back and read this thread, I basically come across as the world's biggest Eric Bischoff/83 Weeks fanboy but I am way behind on this podcast, which is why I haven't been posting my usual effusive reviews every week. The last episode I listened to was Uncensored 95, back during the second week of March. I am about 9 weeks behind on this show. I still catch Cornette's Drive Thru every week and I have listened to the first two episodes of Grilling JR, but aside from that I have stopped listening to other podcasts. Having said that, I have heard nothing but praise about the Collision in Korea episode from multiple sources. Considering that I tend to agree with about 99% of the opinions and reviews posted by @SomethingSavage, I am going to go out of my way to check this one out soon, based on his recommendation alone.
