Are others noticing Cena favor and regularly check his knee throughout this match? I wonder if that's related to his upcoming break or if he merely tweaked it tonight.

Brock vs. Big Show -- Show is one of my least favorite guys on the roster. But this was still awesome. Loved him popping up after the choke slams, loved the suplexes as well as how quickly they finished it. Post-match belly to belly and another F5? Thank you!

This has been a perfectly acceptable show that feels very normal. Nothing outstanding but absolutely nothing offensive or that feels like a huge waste of time. Why won't they even try running Raw like this, even from time to time? It'll save everybody in the office from headaches at least a few times every year.

I enjoyed the opener as Dolph sold well and with more focus than you usually see from this type of pairing on Raw. Also a couple fun spots with Orton backing from and ducking a lariat. Its crazy how he actually seems engaged on these non-routine TV shows. Dude must be bored with Raw.

Already an aubile as Orton-Sheamus is now Orton/Ziggler vs. Sheamus/Rusev.

To be...no pun intened, fair, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone to be a contrarian on any aspect of Ric Flair's career. Even if you think someone was a better promo or story teller in the ring, it would be hard to find someone that doesn't think Flair belongs in the conversation about the best of all time in those aspects. To say nothing about said person being willing to sit down for a long recording about the topic. The entire reason Parv produced these podcasts is the fact that there are contrarians out there. Just how low on Flair are these contrarians? Not quite top 10 material? Borderline top 100? Simply not fans?

There we go! 5 years down, 10 to go. Will seek these out.

Is there a neat list of the best / must-see lucha post-2000? I've been saving various matches to a playlist as I come across them but it always feels like a matter of luck in stumbling across some recs. Not looking for anything as deep as Ditch, but anywhere to start with the best of the best would be great.

Outside of the Bryan match, I just don't see when he's delivered in a singles setting. Loved the character based upon early impressions but since then its been too much True Blood jibberish as opposed to anything I can sink my teeth into. Hopes were high but it has failed to deliver.

Liger is a top 10 candidate. Rey is top 50. The end.

I can't comment properly -- primarily because Tito vs. Valentine is near the top of my watch list and I'll be approaching it for the first time -- but outside of a few choice WWF classics, Savage does not rate very highly for me pre-WCW. Not a big fan of his work in the early 80s territorial days and thus far he's faring worse than anyone other than Michaels when going back through network footage.

I definitely come out a Cokehead in that camp. Although perhaps Tenryu could be squeezed in as Diet Coke? Definitely not sweet.

Fuck, that is terrible. Thoughts and prayers to her and her family.

With Brock/Taker potentially ending next month, is there any chance Austin's relented and they'll use the podcast to kickstart him vs. Lesnar at Mania?

Were results ever compiled for this set?

Apparently i'm in the minority but have no problem with Rollins-Kane if it means Rollins keeps the title for a while, and more importantly keeps it away from Sheamus. Underneath Brock/Taker and a presumably solid Cena match it'll be fine.

Cena vs. Rollins - Good match that didn't touch Summerslam, but they couldn't go that hard with Sting having to follow. Crowd is hard on his match as it is. Surprised but impressed that there were no shenanigans at all in the finish. Really curious if Rollins or Sheamus leave with the title tonight. Hopefully Rollins. Cannot wait for him to turn face as I think he'll really excel there.

Reigns & Ambrose & Jericho vs. Wyatt Family - Match of the night so far. Thought they did a fantastic job utilizing Strowman and making him look like a beast while not exposing him. Hoping this leads to heel Jericho vs. Reigns at HIAC. 3.5 stars. White outfit Rollins means the next hour will be fun.

If this is a pass/fail course they passed. Remains to be seen what grade they'd earn for this.

Charlotte vs. Nikki - Really enjoyed it, probably the best women's match since they called up the NXT crew. The finish came out of nowhere though. Would've liked more of a comeback.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev - I enjoyed my sour patch kids/watermelon/swedish fish medley and these two did nothing to capture my attention. Both need to move on, especially Rusev.

Worst DDT ever? Rusev's head was a solid 2-3 inches from the mat on that spot.

Wouldn't be comfortable betting for or against it happening.
