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.

Tony Khan hinted it was a huge number on the post show press conference.

That 200k was a guess based on Google trends.

Shit... Bret just can't catch a break.

What caused Omega's bloody nose?

Jericho has the fat Axl Rose vibe going.

Use the PPV thread. Will unlock this tomorrow.

It would be hilarious if they started booking full blown Canadian tours based on all of the buys from "Canada".

Here is the full card. No point in trying to make predictions for wrestlers I don't follow. I am also splitting the cost of the show with a friend.

I am legitimately excited to see Chinese acrobats.

I don't have any real knowledge about her. Did she have any substance abuse issues that were made public?

Yeah, they shouldn't really do replays in slow motion where the big boot is a foot away from the face.

Game of Thrones for sure. I might go back and watch any matches that get positive feedback.

Maybe, maybe not. We have been told for years that wrestling is a soap opera for men. You have an award winning writer on your staff. The correct response is to heap praise on the award winner and promote the shit out of your award winning staff for hiring purposes or publicity.

This is my favorite story in the most recent Observer. A writer for the WWE just won an Emmy and it's considered a bad look to show it off.

I must have missed that entire era of NXT
