Mauro

I'm not sure, but I hope it did.

Way to give away the finish, Mauro, by pointing out that Adam Cole is so close to breaking Finn Balor's record reign. (But Mauro is still the best in the business and the GOAT!) I assume this means Cole vs. Balor is next *groan* - along with a Cole face turn.

Belair wasn't involved in the post-match at all, so I think that closes the book on her participation in the Mania NXT title match.

I think we can safely rule it out now. :\

Awful finish.

Are you saying WWE is racist? But yeah, I don't see Charlotte vs. Belair happening - even though it would be the far more interesting match. Belair losing to Charlotte so quickly after winning the title really wouldn't help her though.

I honestly wouldn't mind if Belair loses and gets called up after WrestleMania. She's light years ahead of the other NXT women when it comes to character and presentation.

I don't follow... How does Belair's gear portend the finish?

This match would be much more interesting if the result wasn't such a foregone conclusion.

My eyes glazed over for most of this. If it was a classic, I wouldn't know it. I somehow doubt it was though.

Glad I'm not the only one. Heel Balor is just as dull to me as face Balor, and Johnny Gargano feels like the rare example of someone whose main event potential was never fully realized in NXT.

Demi Moore? No, I have no idea either.

This has been fun, but does anyone else wish a Street Fight would actually, ya know, take place on the streets?

Vince: Remember Kamala, pal? Kim Chee is going to come back and put the mask on you. It will possess you, goddamnit, and you'll become the NEW Kamala. That'll be some good shit!!!

I also forgot about his involvement, but his entrance pumped me up like Reebok Pumps!

Also Yul. Ironically, I'm not even familiar with most of these people... My friend has been trying to get me to watch Survivor for ten years now, but she finally got with me with David vs. Goliath because John Hennigan was on it. Wish I had started much sooner! Still, I lucked out with what was apparently an all-time great season for my first one. It was certainly better than the seasons since then have been.

I watched Survivor instead of wrestling - neither card looked compelling to me on paper - so it worked on at least one viewer.

Wrestling Inc.: MLW Accuses WWE Of Contract Tampering, Claims They Have Evidence

I finally read this. A fun read. Some highlights (SPOILERS): - Kofi and Hawkins were Swoggle's best friends in WWE. - Bob Holly and JBL are *gasp* not bullies - according to Swoggle anyway. - CM Punk is a cranky unprofessional bitch. Swoggle got a new phone and lost all of his numbers, so he asked Punk for his number and the number of a musician (?) who was a mutual friend. This set Punk off, who called Swoggle a "user" and even taunted him about being on a future cut list. What a dick! Swoggle later apologized (even though he wasn't in the wrong) and Punk accepted that. However, Punk was eventually standoffish again. Punk has always struck me as someone who has no concept of friendship and doesn't value loyalty. Sad! - Heath Slater once complained about having to get beat up by a midget. Dash Wilder was boo-boo-facing about being eliminated from a battle royal at one of the SaudiMania shows by Swoggle (maybe the Greatest Royal Rumble). Stuff like this confirms my suspicions that The Revival are really their own worst enemy at times. - Khali was lazy and wanted to make as much money doing as little as possible. - WeeLC got a standing ovation from everyone in the back, including Vince. IMO, it's the greatest PPV pre-show match of all time and one of the top ten matches of the decade. Yes, really. - Swoggle's Wellness Violation was because he couldn't piss in a cup in time, not because of any drug failure. Yet, WWE refused to specify that Swoggle did not actually test dirty for drugs. This and other frustrations really paint WWE as a really shitty place to work IMO. Still, Swoggle is grateful overall for his career and getting to live his dream. It's a really compelling read in general, because he goes into what it's like to be a midget (his word, which he says he doesn't mind).

His last name isn’t even Hart though. I like way it’s done in Mexico, where a famous family name has to be earned - such as Colibri eventually becoming Rey Misterio Jr. Teddy “Hart” hasn’t earned shit.

Bret should have banned him from using the Hart name two decades ago. He never made it anywhere and has a rap sheet a mile long.

*Groan* This is really a tweet by an official account? Yes, yes it is.

Because she's a heel.

Barely anyone remembers Hector Garza's run in WCW and no one remembers he was also in WWE. Vince Russo championed him. Guess what: he was right!
