My entire argument the entire time, even when discussing Orton in the AEW section, is that you either have charisma or you don't. It's not something you can turn on & off. It has very little to do with wrestling angles. Randy Orton has charisma. The fact he can make people react the way that he does shows that. It's not really a debate or an opinion. There's a lot of wrestling fans that don't even know what the fuck charisma means. "Oh, he stinks at promos, he has no charisma." It just makes them look stupid.

Just remember, as great as that Orton/Edge angle was, there's still people that think Randy Orton doesn't have charisma...

That Orton/Edge thing was the best thing WWE has done on TV in quite some time. Managed to catch it thanks to social media & buzz & I'm glad that I did. Good stuff. More of that please! Pro-wrestling is at its very best when it sparks that emotion.

Sean Mooney news has my hype. I saw the news on Twitter last night during the Royal Rumble & I was more excited for that than anything WWE was doing. I actually quite like the commentary in NWA. I don't remember truthfully if Sean Mooney did play-by-play or color when he did announcing, I just remember him doing the newsroom studio stuff the most, but him & Barrett would be a lot of fun.

OK. I can live with that!

Dude. If fucking super scrub Cain Velasquez' dumpy ass shows up to throw out Brock, WWE can fuck right off.

Well, if we're talking about what's best for the wrestlers then none of them should wrestle at all to be honest. You kind of have to be a masochist to get into wrestling.

Man, thinking of Bryan working with Okada or Ospreay makes me hurt inside with disappointment that I can't see it.

That ending wasn't good but that's definitely still the best match Wyatt has had as the Fiend so far. Another notch on Bryan's belt.

More than half the entrants were nobody jobbers. The crowd was constantly going "who?" Tegan Nox, Mia Yim, Sarah Logan, Lana, Liv, Carmella, Dana, Mercedes, Tamina, Chelsea Green, Xia Li, Shotzi... and even Santina. Outside of making Bianca look strong & having Charlotte win, it was pointless. The Mandy/Otis stuff was fun. Even Naomi did the same spot she did last time despite looking like a superstar when she came out. No Ronda. No Sasha even. No Trish, Lita or any of the big pop returns. I wasn't a fan. Big props to Beth though for working through that brutal cut. Imagine watching that match if you don't watch NXT.

Welp.

This has been brutal. Where's the star power?

Woof.

Has there ever been a WWE superstar as bland for as long as Nattie Neidhart? Feels like she's been there forever & never done shit. Like her biggest accomplishment is what, the match in Saudi Arabia? She's going to come out tonight to apathy & silence, just like always. Her on the preshow just reinforced that to me. Pushing the limits of mediocrity. Not a good promo, not a good worker (despite some rumblings about it for awhile), pretty much no character to speak of... and a lot of awful .gifs of her looking lost & clueless.

It's going to be super awkward when one of the commentators tries to shoe horn in a Kobe mention to be topical... probably on the preshow. I hope it at least comes off as sincere.

Admittedly, I do like Devlin & Garza. I think they have a lot of potential. But I'm not really feeling this 4-way. Just too many bodies. Everyone gets spots, then has to wait while their opponents get their spots. Doesn't feel like a fight at all. Hard to explain.

Well. Toni Storm Vs. Rhea Ripley should be good, I guess? For the Women's NXT Championship. This card looks dreadful to me though. Especially if you're not a fan of the wanna-be Shawn Michaels style of work. Like both factions in the main event are the shits. I would much rather have just had WALTER Vs. Cole. DIY/Mustache Mountain is going to be overly indulgent, masturbatory bullshit, guaranteed.

Feels like the best direction. Becky has cooled off a lot but there's not a male superstar that's over really either & Ronda coming back would be a huge thing. I mean, what's the alternative? Kevin Owens main eventing Wrestlemania? No, please.

That sequence where Thunder Rosa went for a running flipping Senton off the apron onto a standing Kay, whom caught her & hit her with the apron Powerbomb was insane.

RIP my entire bracket. But both those opening matches were fun.

I decided I'll be watching the Pay-Per-View after all. I'm interested in the TV Title Tournament. Plus, honestly, 7PM on Friday Night is a great time for me as a fan. I don't have anything going on & I'm not going to watch Smackdown...

I actually think that Zicky Dice might win the TV Title. Not sure though because it's interesting that his first match is against Dan Maff. As long as they don't go the Question Mark route.

100% agreed. That's what I'm hoping they get from ROH. Love the avatar by the way. I'd like to see NWA do the picture-in-picture old school style promos. The promos in NWA are great right now but they do them the same way every time so I think they should try to switch it up a little bit.

Man, WALTER seems like such a big deal, even with how they treated him on RAW but Mauro's constant, non-stop yelling still turns me off from NXT. Even just watching the clip from the end of the show for like 15 seconds all I could think was "Someone shut him up!" It overshadowed the awesome knife edge chop that WALTER hit on Adam Cole even. I genuinely don't get what other people see in that guy. I don't know if they relate to him because he's a geek, because of his mental issues or what. He's straight up not a good professional wrestling commentator.
