Delusional spoiled brat?

My goodness, Beth looking like she's ready to administer death by Snoo Snoo.

Not to mention Cody's already won the title his dad did (the NWA belt), but I guess it makes sense now that Dusty has been retconned into a beloved figure who was grandpa to the OG NXT crew instead of the bad guy who was booking the company that was taking food off the McMahon family table.

Man it was depressing to hear Dave talking about Sami and saying even though it's the hottest program, they never even considered (and still won't consider) Sami getting the main event because.....He Doesn't Look Like A Superstar. At the end of the day I'm not surprised, but I thought taking Vince out of creative might have put an end to them turning down piles of money over stupid shit.

Lanny was my favorite WWF jobber growing up, he had more personality than half the guys on top and was doing moonsaults back when no one else was. And yeah, the Genius was absolutely meant to be effeminate, but it honestly Lanny was so into it that somehow it didn't seem that bad. It's always funny to hear Lanny do an eerily perfect impression of hs brother and realize the famous Macho Man voice is just low pitched Leaping Lanny

Yeah that gimmick was actually pretty cool, if it wasn't for the accent it would have been a guy embracing his culture.

I completely forgot that Commander Dabba-Kato Azeez returned tonight until I went over the WO recap just now. I suppose that doesn't bode well.

You ain't kidding, god damn he cut him in half. Also fucking finally a WWE cage match without those stupid escaped the cage rules. Bruno was literally the only person who made that work and everyone else just looks like a punk ass bitch for winning by running away.

Gigi Dolin's makeup in this match makes her look like a psychotic Raggedy Ann doll. Also either Roxanne's makeup made her look like she was a clown. Someone teach this poor girl how to blend her foundation.

Watching now, the opener was nuts solely for Wes Lee. Dijak's not bad but I'm not feeling this Berlyn-ass gimmick. I suppose it's better than the nonsense he was stuck with before. Women's tag was good, Henley/Kiana is actually a pretty good team and I hope the angle they are running doesn't entirely overshadow that. Apollo losing two straight falls was a choice, but Melo rules so I'm okay with it. Don't know what you do with Apollo at this point though, dude's whole deal has been returning to NXT for unfinished business and so far he's finished none of it Four way tag team matches are kind of unwieldy but this ruled for what it was. Has it come out what happened to the missing Coffey bro? I thought it was just visa issues the UK crew were dealing with, but he's disappeared to the Phantom Zone.

Dave's coverage in Japan has been pretty much like his US coverage: have real connection in the main promotion(s) and kind of wing everything else. It seems pretty clear he has at least some connection in NJPW, and of course he obviously has Kenny who was a main event player for quite a while. I've heard enough Dave double entendre and hint to assume he has at least some communication with Gedo too. He sometimes speaks about NJPW booking with the confidence of someone who has a line to the booker directly. He'll often talk about what he thinks the long term plans are with the "I don't know for sure, but...." and then barring injury and/or shit happening it's exactly what happens.

They need to get the crying dude in the raincoat from when Randy and Liz reunited to be in the crowd.

Speaking of Maina tag title matches, apparently the plan is for Ronda/Shayna vs Dakota/Io. That'd be an awesome match but it really shows how much Ronda's stock fell this past year.

As awesome as the final segment was, it has me concerned about Elimination Chamber. If they job Sami in Montreal there might be a riot. Also I *really* hope they don't pull a "well of course your hero got screwed in Montreal" here.

Dang, Raquel was sporting quite the shiner whilst watching tv WWE Awkward Style

He wasn't that much shorter than Braun, which was surprising. Also I hate the WWE trope of "established team loses to two dudes put together randomly".

I wonder if Charlotte is gonna get mad when Rhea gets cheered over her despite her babyface return.

The Ashley Massaro allegations alone should have been the end of Vince, and been a major fucking scandal for the military too.

Bryan vs RUSH is gonna slap pretty hard.

starting Dynamite, and I love that Mox's dad looks exactly like you'd expect him to.

oh shit, forgot we were getting Gulak vs Regal Jr!

Someone doing a Twitch Streamer gimmick should either have a manager ringside running the stream, or be wearing a GoPro to film the action.

The NXT parking lot continuing to be the most dangerous place on Earth. More people gettin' got there than on the streets of Compton.

oh hey, Von Wagner still exists

All this lampshading of Axiom being A-Kid is getting kind of old.
