They already have. She Should have been put on Raw months ago. So the 3/11 show is going to take place from the Performance Center because Full Sail is booked that night. That's going to make the show look even more indie than it already does.

Nakamura and Braun taking bumps on a grand piano on a random smackdown is the stupidest thing i've seen on WWE tv in a while. They seem to be heading towards a Gulak/Bryan match and I'm all for that. Hopefully it gets time. Goldberg is beating Bray on Thursday. I'm convinced of that now.

So how should they be used? Roman level? Main events every week and multiple championships? Rey was already at that level and out of the three, I think Andrade and Garza can get to that. Especially Garza. Humberto is just missing something. Not sure if a heel turn would work better or not. I enjoyed Bayley/Carmella on SD this week. It was Carmella's best match ever and it was the one time I felt that Bayley looked comfortable being the heel. Main event was fun too as it was nice to see Roman against someone other than Corbin for a change. Otis/Mandy was what I expected but Otis is so good he's got me looking forward to him destroying Dolph on the Mania kickoff show.

Good nxt tonight built around Sundays takeover. Lio/Garza was an awesome match. I think it was garza's last nxt match. Loved the riddle/dunne vignettes with the finish being the best. Takeover should be a good show. Interested in how it does since its the first show without a main roster ppv the day after.

Finally caught up with this week's episode I continue to love everything Cody/MJF and Le Champion. Jericho's entrance on this week's episode was outstanding with the drunks singing Judas. 6 man was a fun match too and the best use of Marko Stunt so far in the promotion. MJF got a decent match out of Janela and loved the ending with the Bucks throwing him in the pool I can't get into PAC at all. Not sure if it's the character or if he's just boring. I think he worked best in the WWE system. Moxley/Jericho is going to be something else. Good to see Priscilla in AEW. Is she still in MLW or was this a one-time appearance? Didn't mind Britt's promo.

The Production on the show was way more noticeable than most weeks and that's not a good thing. Multiple missed finishes, bad camera angles, jut things were off. Maybe Keith Mitchell shouldn't be in production in 2020. I remember his time in WCW and it wasn't much better. Otherwise, I enjoyed the show for the most part. The opener was really good with a hot crowd. I liked the Six-man too. PAC/Allin was was good but man I hate seeing Darby lose again clean. I can understand losing to Cody but PAC? Just blah. Even the parts I didn't like( women's match) was better than most of last week's show.

Good NXT show tonight. The women got a half hour and did more with the time than other shows. They even got over a NXT Uk feud with Toni and Kay Lee. Really looking forward to the Time Splitters reunion next week. i hope they make it to the finals. Really good main event, I think Lee should have won the NXT title instead of the NA title but he's still over and maybe he can help that title

Good smackdown this week Usos returning to save Roman from Corbin and Ziggler was a nice touch. Glad they are on the blue brand with Roman as that's a fun trio. Gable made Sheamus's kick look like a million bucks. Landed on his neck too. I'm sure it will be a squash but that should be a fun match. God help me but i'm enjoying babyface Lacey too. She's so natural at it. Especially her promos which are right up there with Asuka as feeling genuine and not wooden like heel Bayley and Charlotte. Morrison going to smackdown and teaming with newly heel Miz reuniting the Dirt Sheet is going to make me feel nostalgic.

Should be interesting what happens with the ROH/CMLL/New Japan deal if this actually happens. AEW is with AAA so you know CMLL will want nothing to do with them. I can't see ROH/AEW working together given the bad blood and if ROH loses the New Japan deal I gotta think that's the death knell to them. Hope the deal happens cause I want to see Tanahashi on Turner tv. As for Dynamite, I loved the show this week. Especially Cody/Darby. Arn was perfect in that match. Also, I thought Taz did a good job on commentary. Had good chemistry with JR.

The only reason Cody should lose to Darby is if he's turning heel and I don't think that's happening. I like Darby and he's entertaining but he's not on Cody's level. I think his first major win should be against a guy like Hager or even Kenny. The only thing I hope for the match is that it's clean and doesn't feature interference.

This topic reminds me of the last indie show I was at, USA pro. It went on for almost 5 hours with no intermission. The show started with about 500-600 people and by the time it ended, only 100 or so were left. People started leaving after the 4th talking segment 2 hours in and when Shane Douglas started doing intros for the decesed Bam Bam and Chris Candido. Contrast that to the last NXT house show I went to that was under 90 minutes and had about 5 matches in less than a hour. I think it all depends on the pacing of the show and what's on it. I can get through NXT and AEW easy enough in 2 hours. Raw is pushing it with 3 and even then I usually watch on DVR. I don't watch the ppvs live anymore cause I can't sit through them in 1 sitting.

Because it's fun and I don't take it seriously? Also I watch all WWE shows on DVR so I can fast forward the stuff I don't like. Do the same for AEW and most wrestling shows except for NXT. Loved the Miracle on 34th street match. I think it's the best gimmick match they do. Mostly cause it's only once a year. Otis is so great. Heavy Machinery is another act that works better on the main roster than in NXT.

Because the shows really don't have security. At least when the tv talent is on the road. When I went to a house show on Saturday, they only had one security guard at ringside and all he was worried about is people not taping matches with their phone. At full sail it's usually 3 or 4 security guards. They don't really care what you say but god forbid you tape anything or stand up for too long.

Well AAA is going to get a good Cease and Desist letter from good ole Jerry sooner than later. Big Mami vs Lady Maravilla ruled. Not a technical masterpiece whatsoever but a heated bloody brawl that was the ending of a great year-long angle. Few companies do that better than AAA when they really commit to it. Rush in AAA will take a while to get used to. He could fit in but we'll see how long him and Park last.

I can't get over how over Otis is. They should have him beat Nakamura for the US title. Then Roman came out and dwarfed that reaction.

Really good NXT tonight. Garza/Lio was hate-filled and awesome. Full sail was going nuts and Garza is a star. Dakota/Mia was also good and featured a crazy bump by Mia doing a backdrop driver on Dakota through a table. The main event was fine with a great finish. Even Breezango/Bollywood boys were good. Next week should be a crazy week in the Wednesday night war.

They cut it really close on that ending of Aj vs Rey. Fun match on a good show. I know people here don't like the Rusev/Lana angle or the Seth turn but I gotta admit I do. Glad Seth turned heel as he's better suited for it. Rusev might be the most over babyface on Raw. Raw is such an easier show to watch than SD now even at 3 hours.

This was pretty sad to watch. Between the small crowd in the ecw arena and them not giving a shit. We got some witty cat calls like all is fatter than buddy rose and fuck Frank talent. Sabu couldn't do much and what he did was botched mostly. Ian waddles in and cuts his usual long promo to crickets. Bad

Smackdown is such a chore to get through even on DVR. I did like the 4 way tag. Otis is getting over and Shorty G has replaced Cesaro as the best tag wrestler in WWE not named the Revival. Turning Lacey babyface is interesting but I guess that was to be expected after Saudimania. Roman/Corbin has run its course.

Who I like and would rather watch? Roman no doubt. But Okada is more important.

So is the Dark Order, Brandi/Kong and the Butcher and the Blade going to join together to build one big goth universe like Rosemary in IMPACT? 3 groups with the same type gimmick is a bit much. They should build the whole women's division around Kris Statlander now that she's signed. Such a star. Between NXT and AEW, the Picture in Picture commercial break might be the worst thing about the Wednesday night war. At least NXT doesn't do promos and big moments during it I guess.

Good episode of NXT tv tonight building up matches for the next two weeks. UE vs Lee/Ciampa/Dijakovic and Riddle/Ohono are worth watching. Excited for Garza/Lio next week and Rhea/Shayna in two weeks plus Cole vs the winner of Finn/Lee/Ciampa for the respective titles. It was also good to see Kushida back from injury.

I usually don't listen to the commentary during shows but man Lawler was expecially bad last night. Between totally burying Tozawa and the line during the Kabuki Warriors entrance where he broke out the asian accent that was way worse than what Cornette did, it was bad. Joe and Vic are good together since I guess Dio is gone.

I'm not a big fan of Damien but him using his kendo stick as a pool cue to hit sagrada in the balls was funny. The match was fine but the Tarzan slow turn was dull by this time. also, they didnt seem to follow up on the dandy zumbido tension.
