Ticket prices are double?

What happened?

I actually thought the leg work made perfect sense. It didn't lead to the finish but it didn't have to. When Juice went through the 1st table and started to sell the leg, I liked that Moxley picked up on it and switched his focus.

I watched Moxley vs. Juice earlier and I didn't think it was a MOTYC but I enjoyed it more than any Dean Ambrose singles match ever. Ambrose channeled his inner-Terry Funk/Jerry Lawler and learned how to punch. He tried busting Juice open hardway, succeeded and started biting the cut. No stupid slingshot lariat. When he wasn't trying to punch Juice's head in, he was working the legs including a Texas Cloverleaf and a Bret Hart ringpost figure four. A couple of missed dives by Juice kind of take you out of the match because they were two really big spots but Moxley was bringing it and made me want to see more. Great match.

Did they show any footage of Kofi in Ghana on their main programming this week?

I understand the sentiment but he's the newsworthy topic right now. As long as he keeps doing these interviews, we will continue to discuss them.

I don't know if it was here or on DVDVR but someone mentioned Nyla Rose. I think it is to the company's credit that she is a transgender wrestler but it doesn't define the character she is playing. It also doesn't seem to be something the company is running away from. Despite the Cornette-Sonny Kiss nonsense, there is real progress being made, especially if they stay the course with Rose where she is judged as a performer and not for her gender.

That might be true. They had grandpa Jim Ross, a frumpy middle aged guy and a skinny guy in a lucha mask. It was refreshing in how non-WWE the three of them appeared.

I know people have been pretty critical of Marvez but I don't think he did a bad job. The announcing was so much better than any non-NXT announcingI have heard in the last 10 years or so in WWE.

This is a great post and needs to be quoted for truth.

Add the Corbin win and I get where you are coming from

My buddy from Mexico couldn't stand the fact that there was no wrestling in the first hour. After thinking about it for 45 seconds or so, I think limiting the wrestling to 2 hours is a good move. They can't sustain more than 2 hours of interest in the ring anyway. An hour of bullshit followed by 2 hours of wrestling seems like a good formula.

I think you're criminally low on Cody-Dustin but I think they actually booked that match specifically for me. That's what I want my wrestling to be and one of the few matches from the past decade I will still talk about when I qualify for my AARP card.

I think this thread is a fine place to ask that question and i am curious myself. I saw the Bucks & Cody q&a on YouTube. Also saw the roast of Bruce Pritchard which had bad audio and was horrible for the 15 minutes or so I watched.
