This is the great example of addition through subtraction in wrestling history. If they could trade Bryon Saxton to EVOLVE it would the greatest Smackdown ever

So weird seeing Natalya booked as a face after years of being one of the most annoying women on Smackdown No idea what Rousey hit Sonya Deville with but it looked kind of painful

Well that makes the NXT title situation confusing. Based on the pre-show for Takeover he was going right after the winner. That isn't happening. People on Twitter trying to compare Dolph and Drew like Shawn and Diesel is funny. Dolph has never been at Shawn Michael's level much less in 1994 need the beginnings of his big push

At this rate I expect the mystery person in the main event to be Bobby Roode

In terms of Eclipse bumps, that was the equivalent of the Rock selling Austin's stunners in awesomeness

Apparently they are looking for some new opponents in the Curt Hawkins "storyline" as they brought in Zach Ryder (according to his twitter) and Breezeango

Well given that AJ Styles is still probably going to RAW it isn't that big of a slam

Always make last week's match and that finish really stupid

Yeah Cole is right this is weird. How do you trade someone who is "fired"

I don't know if I want No Way Jose's first feud to be against Jinder. But got to start somewhere God if Corey is just going to do shtick this entire match at least explain it besides they wanted another JBL ripoff.

I would think that guarantees that Miz is going to Smackdown

Given what Miz said in the buildup for last year's Wrestlemania, they should be tag partners in a "man I tried to tell you" thing Weeks of promos with cena on the couch looking like the guy in Forgetting Sarah Marshall while Miz and maryse are trying to raise their kids.

Holy shit the footage just 10 minutes in is amazing. From everywhere. Granted they are talking about 70's territory wrestling and maybe 50% of it is from the 80's but nitpicking

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

Well it is back to mute button with Corey

The setup for Carmella's cashing in the title was so awful that I was sure Charlotte was going to win. The long ass delay made no sense. Luckily it didn't happen and Carmella got the belt

So they are the Iconics not the Iconic Duo? Okay sure. Anyway it is about they made it the main roster. Incredible annoying team that will be Michelle McCool & Layla to shame for their attitude and because how good they in the ring

I would think the New Day is going to RAW next week. They can't do anything else on Smackdown really. The question though is how many of them. The reality is that Big E has been ready for a singles push for years. My quess is that Miz goes to Smackdown and Styles goes to RAW

My top 5 matches of the weekend that I saw live in no particular order: 1. Lucha tag team match - Flamita & Bandito vs Fenix & Ray Hourrus (Wrestlecon Supershow). I don't really watch a lot of lucha but this was incredible to see live. Nobody was off their game that match. I really would be interested in what hardcore lucha fans think of the match 2. PCO vs WALTER (Janela spring break 2) - pretty much everyone has said what needed to be said. He is 50 years old and is still doing dives like a madman at pretty good speed. And took one of the worst beating to your chest in the world and perfectly fine doing it. Incredible 3. Matt Riddle vs Will Ospreay (WWN Live Supershow) - I can understand why people don't like Ospreay given his style in the ring but nobody can shit on this man's toughness and heart he showed this weekend. He is clearly hurt and probably badly. Yet he is still working close to the same style. After Will almost broke his neck again and they did the injury angle, Riddle up the asshole meter to 10 and this match was just great. 4. WALTER vs Zach Sabre Jr (Progress Saturday show) - I really don't know if this was Sabre's best match of the weekend because his match against Ishii at Rev Pro on Saturday was also great. But I loved this match because it was 2 guys beating the shit out of each other with Sabre selling like a maniac. Joining Suzuki-Gun was the best thing that ever happened to his career because now he is just an awesome dick in the ring. 5. Jeff Cobb vs Ishii (Wrestlecon Supershow) - I really was disappointed with Cobb last year at the weekend but between this match, his match with Suzuki at Rev Pro, and a match against travis Banks at Progress he really brought it. Great hard hitting match with nice buildup to the brutality at the end. This match might get more love if it was on a Friday or Saturday. It isn't a match but a top 5 moment definitely was Joey Ryan doing a killer Andy Kaufman impersonation completely with the robe and ring gear and then the Jerry Lawler surprise. Show of the weekend - NXT Takeover was probably the best show but I didn't see that live. Wrestlecon Supershow was the clear winner of shows I saw live MVP of the weekend - Ishii had great matches with Cobb & Sabre Jr and probably had Punishment Martinez best match ever at ROH. So many contenders this weekend with WALTER, Sabre Jr, and others Breakthrough star - I agree there wasn't really one although I was very impressed with Adam Brooks who I never saw before this weekend. Looked great in the Wrestlecon 4 way flippy match and pretty good against Brian Cage at Rev Pro show My only recommendation for next year is a special battle royal match where your elimination determines the number of times you can be on fucking shows. I am really tired of seeing Brian Cage and Sami Callahan on every single show regardless of the type. Flip Gordon was on every single non WWN Live show and apparently 3 fucking times at the ROH show. David Starr was on probably the most shows this weekend as he was everywhere. Given that hundreds of wrestlers are down there in the weekend, it is painful to see the same ones EVERY FUCKING SHOW.

How long is this Greatest Royal Rumble show going to be with apparently 7 title matches and the 50 man Royal Rumble. It might be longer than Wrestlemania

And Corey Graves trying to speak like Woken Matt is a recipe that this gimmick will be at best annoying in about 3 months.

Really hate phrases like "smarting me up" by Reigns like we are supposed to be believe that Brock and Vince is shooting on him

It isn't like AOP are good talkers either that didn't really need a manager. They need a mouthpiece at least for a little bit to bit over how awesome they are

"I don't know if you follow Smackdown" is always a hilarious line given they were the top angle for almost 6 months.

After this weekend, Fight Forever is definitely on my top 3 Hopefully Paige can stay as a manager. She really needs this business because her with idle hands has been a problem in the past
