To be fair, I'd make that trade since the shaky cam is literally vomit inducing.

It is better so far, but you're never going to get that next step in the sanitized world of WWE. It's hard to be a scary character when you know the company won't actually go to that next level. It's like a PG rated horror film, no matter how good all the pieces are it has a lot working against it.

They almost cleared that table too.

LOL

Random observation: the black NXT mat looks like when they put carpeting on the ring during an interview segment on Raw.

As stupid as that move is, it is his finish and kicking out of one off a ladder is dumb.

Nigel must be fighting the urge to deliver just one last shoot headbutt.

Didn't TNA do the "cage with weapons all over it" gimmick way back when?

Can't wait for October when Vince starts paying attention to NXT as counter programming to AEW and we get Johnny Sports Entertainment.

Part of Dream's entrance.

Jesus Christ, Mauro.

NA title still the best looking belt in wrestling right now.

He seems way too good to still be here but I don't want him anywhere near the main roster.

That finish was like something out of CMLL, tying the arm up like that.

So much this. It's refreshing to see a Japanese woman not being presented as some kind of childlike loli character.

Time for Candace to die for our sins.

Mauro gets all the attention for good reason, but Beth out here sounding like the outtakes from the latest video game commentary track is no shakes either.

The focus would have been on Ronda and Shayna, so having the other two as basically the Buddy Roberts of the team to take a beating and do a job would have been fine. In the long run it was better for their careers to stay in NXT and learn, but a Horsewomen program (IMO at least) would have been a bigger deal than the wet fart we ended up with at Mania last year.

The problem is they really need to do something diabolical with the Fiend to really distinguish him not only from his Mr. Rogers alter ego but also from his previous gimmick. When WWE tries to do stuff like that we get worms projected on the canvas at Wrestlemania.

I don't have any inside SCOOPZ but I get the feeling they are waiting until Ronda tells them she's coming back to call up Shayna. Everyone wanted the Horsewomen feud to happen and you have to think WWE knows that was a missed opportunity. Considering that Ronda keeps putting out videos on her YouTube indicating she's getting the itch to come back, it might be sooner than we think.

Funny thing is this isn't the worst looking card on paper, but I can't remember the last time a Big Four PPV had such little hype. lol WWE never gonna stop WWE'ing ....they're too sophisticated for blood n' guts right?

Charlotte's a weird one, she can do PR just as good as the Miz does but he's hardly a household name either. She's only known as Ric Flair's kid and not for anything she's actually done herself.

Worst people on wrestling Twitter*: vanity searchers or people who tag-snitch in conversations trying to rope someone famous in to an argument? (*obviously the racists and whatnot are the real worst)

This. He always looks like he's embarrassed to be seen in his gimmick, when I would have no problem believing him as a complete 80s metalhead.

Doesn't make sense, since WWE already has the Network, and purchasing Fite TV would cancel their agreements with other companies and defeat the purpose of anyone signing up with them. Edited to add: like, I get this would just be WWE swinging its junk around to mess with other promotions, but why would they spend whatever the cost is to buy Fite just so people in the EU can't watch AEW or ROH on PPV?
