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.

It looks like both battle royals will be on the kickoff show, so be sure to tune in early if you want to see them.

Come on, guys. This is how you show WWE you mean business. We'll hit them where it hurts by, um...(checks notes) walking out of a show we already paid to attend.

It's worth noting that there was no buffer match between Black/Almas and Gargano/Ciampa. That's pretty much par for the course for NXT, but it's definitive proof that WWE crowds don't have to be brought down after a hot match before they can be brought back up again. Or at least they don't on shows that aren't 20 hours long.

Calling Chono an American wrestler because he happened to be born in Seattle due to his father being stationed there for business might be the worst opinion yet.

Pretty fantastic show overall. Someone could have Black/Almas or Gargano/Ciampa as their MOTY so far and I wouldn't argue against it.

I was actually thinking "couldn't he just escape the Gargano Escape by raking his eyes?" But then he did it. Thumbs up from me.

That has to be the best example of the hoist-by-his-own-petard spot I've ever seen.

Shayna Baszler seems to get plenty of heat. Maybe not as much as Ciampa right now, but she hasn't faced a babyface nearly as compelling as Gargano. It's really a credit to Johnny Wrestling that any heel he goes up against becomes Rick Rude at Superbrawl.

I think I liked that match more than Almas/Gargano. The bulk of the match was kind of just there, but the finishing stretch was the best of any match I've seen this year.

The impromptu Richochet-tossing contest is my spot of the year so far.

I once joked that Alberto Del Rio was Spanish for Jeff Jarrett. I guess Alberto El Patron is Spanish for Eddie Gilbert.

That's entirely untrue if you actually understand what the term is meant to describe; that is, the change in the operation and organisation of capitalism that began in the 1970s and the logic of which was politically hegemonic for about 35 years. Let me ask again. What exactly is the difference between neoliberalism and conservatism? Is it solely the the former is more socially tolerant?
