Asuka was over when she was killing people. It was booking her to be destroyed and win in banana-peel fashion that derailed her.

Braun is actually older than Roman.

I would say he is more Buddy Landell than Gilbert. Even Eddie knew when to stay when the moment was good. Buddy fucked up in the worst possible times for him Come to think of it, No Show Alberto does have a nice ring to it.

Bryan is such a breath of fresh air in the ring.

Where does this leave Absolution?

This is no contest for me. The WM13 match isn't my favorite match of all time (it's not even my favorite Hart/Austin match), but it is the most influential for me in terms of developing my tastes of what I look for in a match. It's the reason I view brawling combined with submissions as basically the ideal wrestling style. Meanwhile, I actively hated Atlantis/V3 the last time I watched it. The never-ending stretch of your-turn/my-turn nearfalls and near-submissions completely killed the match for me. It was like a PWG Cena match times ten.

The solution is to expound at length upon how whoever is being discussed compares to Volk Han or the Crush Gals.

Of course these dorks have to go and cheer Elias.

I can't generate any feelings stronger than indifference for most wrestlers these days, but "too sweet woop woop" has to be the cringiest fanchant of all time. And think of the ground that covers.

I would argue that Reigns constantly be granted unearned title shots has done at least as much damage to him as the perpetually delayed coronation.

People are speculating that WWE promised the Saudis a title change on their show and that's why they held off pulling the trigger at Mania.

I will say this. I'm more intrigued now by WWE than I have been in a good while because I have absolutely no idea what direction they're trying to go. I haven't watched Raw in over three years, but I'll definitely be tuning in tonight. I'm looking forward to sitting back and taking things in as they happen rather than trying to read the tea leaves.

I just woke up. I don't remember anything after the Taker match, so that must be when I passed out. It sounds like I didn't miss much.

I did not expect that

Maybe I'm being naive, but I'm hopeful for this match. I mean, WWE has presumably seen Rousey work. And they wouldn't be putting her in this position if they thought she couldn't hang, right?

Hahahahahahahaha.

Corey Graves is awful with telegraphing nearfalls tonight. I realize it's a WWE trope, but he's taking it to another level.

Well then.

Interesting that they clearly put more thought in mapping out the women's battle royal than the men's.

Carmella's definitely cashing in tonight.

Miz doing his best Calculon impression was pretty amusing.

Long night ahead. Put the bottle down. Hey, I'm only on my fifth beer.

That was a great performance from Cedric.

Bray might actually be tolerable as Woken Matt's sidekick.

Here's some footage of the confrontation: https://twitter.com/WNSource_Ben/status/982954479220936705 Alicia looks hammered.
