Rhodes Brothers/Shield up there for me. Amazing payoff. I was thinking about some NXT stuff but the issue there is that basically all their great mid-card feuds became main event level after awhile, especially with the women.

They need to announce their Bay Area dates for that next week. My guess is that they run the SAP Center in San Jose because Meltz, but them selling out the Cow Palace could be fun from a historical perspective, even if that place is a dump.

People going crazy about them getting Hardy’s music for his debut when that music has been Common Use since the beginning (and has been actually used under SPORTSCENTER HIGHLIGHTS) is hilarious.

On the bright side, watching Wardlow steamroll Scorp next week is gonna be fun.

Nah, Anthony Henry gets to work the mat with Bryan Danielson, we all win.

Tony fucking booking DANIELSON/MOX VS. THE WORKHORSEMEN AND DANTE/PAGE TONIGHT. Golden god.

If Lee’s recent showing on Jericho’s pod is any indication, Lee was more a victim of Vince trying to pigeonhole him into something Keith wasn’t, which is just something that happens. The reason he wants this NXT is because he wants mounds of clay he can mold. Bron can be anything Vince wants (even a boat!) Lee was already who he was, and Vince trying to change it was just not doing either one any favors.

Been waiting for Sting to come out to Turbo Charged for 30 years.

Surprised Omega didn’t make an appearance tonight, but happy to see he’s getting a much needed rest. Guessing Double or Nothing is the spot now to build up to All Out.

They need their versions of Clash of the Champions.

CALLED IT

To be fair, Britt matches normally start slow then pick up.

Also, per their Instagram, this really reads like a rundown to me, right down to the trios match being the cooldown prior to the main event.

So things I expect to see tonight that haven’t been talked about too much on here: -Kenny comes back to confront Cole -Claudio debuts in the Eddie/Jericho aftermath -Regal shows up -Samoa Joe shows up as backup for Punk I think with all eyes on this show, you unleash hell with getting big names back, the ROH tie-ins, etc. I’m not sure if you save any of these for TV, but considering what Tony did at All In with new faces and this show has similar vibes, I feel like this is another chance for something like that to happen.

Also, nothing wrong with bringing in ANYONE who was close to Brodie.

Yeah, but absolutely cool in Saudi Arabia. Hypocrisy is palpable.

More contradictions in that statement than title reigns for the big man.

Vince on McAfee’s show on Thursday.

Have to imagine they low-balled him or gave him the Sami/KO deal scaled down and he wanted more security. Don’t blame him.

Consistently amazed at how many amazing folks have come out of the DVDVR boards across a multitude of industries.

Respectfully.

Up and let Cesaro walk, what a company.

Bryan mentioning Regal last night was no coincidence, either. That’s a ghost from Mox’s past that would rattle the hell out of him.

HELL YEAH, GIMME MORE.

That disrespectful boot to the face is what I want in professional wrestling, man.
