C.S.

I'd mark the fuck out if Kofi won. It would be a genuine surprise, and he's long overdue. Plus, the JImmy Redman post would be epic!

Of all the women, they're the most over as characters (outside of Ronda). "Rasslin'" isn't enough and never has been, in any major league company.

Rusev should win. Miz will win.

Nia was an awful champion. Bliss was a good one. It was too soon for Rousey to win. I'm fine with this.

Not exactly a Hot Take. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind disagreeing with this. As a wrestler, yes. As a draw? The other things that usually go with being a WON HOF member? I could maybe buy influence because of Dragon Gate, but it's a lose call. He was one of the top 3 cruiserweights in WCW, for whatever that's worth. If he influenced Dragon Gate, that's pretty big. Also, there's a move named after him (that I think he also invented) - the Asai Moonsault. Good enough for the WON HOF.

Remember when announce table spots were special?

In WWE, AJ's had great matches with almost everyone else, while Nakamura's had great matches with almost no one else - I think I'll give AJ the benefit of the doubt.

This match is another bore. Shin-skay has done nothing of worth on the main roster and even less to deserve a World Championship. Time to end this experiment or send him to 205 Live. Such a shame, because I was nuts for him after his NXT debut vs. Zayn. Didn't take long for the bloom to fall off the rose though.

I liked the finish. The right person won. And good to see Ellsworth back.

Random observation: Asuka is dressed like one of the enemies from Streets of Rage.

Hopefully Mella can carry Asuka to something serviceable.

That Superman Punch missed by a mile, but what a sell-job by Sunil Singh.

Has Corey "Call me, I still love you" Graves acknowledged the CM Punk chants in any way? I've all but tuned out the commentary.

I'm sure Reigns vs. Jinder is better than expected, but I can't get into it - there are no stakes and I don't care who wins or loses.

Good match, but did Alexa Bliss really need to win. :\ (I like Alexa, but it's not like she needs this.)

Wacky prediction: Lana will win.

I'm sure I'll be in the minority, but I couldn't get into that match at all. Yes, it was fast-paced and "exciting," but this type of forced "epic" does nothing for me anymore.

Jason Jordan > Lashley I want Elias to win, but at the same time, this is the perfect spot for Seth. I'm guessing Seth wins. Great news. I'm confused how the board loses functionality it had before, but I'll leave that technical stuff to the experts. I'm glad it's all going to be fixed soon enough. Thanks, Loss!

I wasn't impressed with Lashley vs. Zayn. I don't know if the idea was to make Lashley look like a badass with the squash, but that didn't work. I don't know if the idea was to keep from exposing Lashley's limitations, but that also didn't work. I hope Zayn's stock is raised after this, because he took a shit sandwich with a horrible feud, bad writing, terrible segments, etc. and made Nutella out of it.

What's the point of posts like this? I love Miz but it has to be Braun for me. He needs to mixing it with the big boys already. The MITB matches are very intriguing though. If you don't like my posts, this might help: https://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=ignoredusers I both agree and disagree about Braun. Yes, a win would signal that they're really getting behind him this time. But he doesn't need it and can get a title shot a million other ways. So, with that in mind, why not crown someone else for MiTB and give Braun his moment separately?

"Had a good run in TNA" means jack shit to me. I heard that about Roode. He's terrible. I heard that about EC3. He's terrible. etc. Lashley isn't doing anything to change that perception for me. Zayn has carried this awful, goofy feud.

Now let's see if Zayn can carry Lashley.

I agree. I'm surprised. Nice little match.

Bryan in the opener means he beats Big Ass, right? "Starting out the show on a positive note." BTW, they should have changed his name back to Colin Cassady. The name "Big Cass" will always carry the stink of Enzo.
