Matt D

I'm looking at joeg/migs on, jmare out. Will probably roll the dice tomorrow night (I'm still in the process of writing up mine, too). Anyone else back on or temporarily off?

He screams pro wrestling and is everything casuals would expect in a good way.

But Brock didn't beat him.

If they wanted mainstream attention, they should have shifted the belt off of Brock and done Brock/Rousey vs Hunter/Steph. That would have been the biggest thing in a decade.

Seems a bit off to do this with both Nia/Asuka and Bruan/Reigns in one night?

I think the political hit stuff is pretty funny, too. Anyway, I get Reigns produces all the time, but after the second or third time that he hits February getting pushed over a guy who is clearly more over, there's something endemically broken about it all.

It's still better than BIGLAV?

If Roman's going over after Braun has to fight the Shield 2 on 1, then that's in political hit territory. (Unless they do that I guess.) I don't feel bad about my loathing of Rollins. He's better at running more spots in a short period of time than just about anyone. That's not a feature, its a bug.

I thought Miz was bumping really well? I thought the image of Braun shrouded in shadow in the pod while other guys were facing off was good?

Such a no brainer.

She's going to pick up so many bad habits in that match.

The video package was rough, I'll admit. What do they even try to do with Matt now? I kind of want a Broken Matt vs Miz feud.

I'm going to buck the trend and say Hardy vs Bray has been sound. A lot of it is meat and potatoes with Hardy's mind games along for the ride but the stuff that they've been doing generally works.

If I had to guess I'd assume Asuka rolled the wrong way. I loved Asuka's selling after that (unless, you know, she was actually in agony).

I think its an improperly formatted Haku. You can be the one to tell Haku hes improperly formatted.

This thing's been alive for four years now.

So the NXT system of honing talent works?

All I wish for those that i care about is that someday, maybe, just maybe, they can love something as much as Parv loves WWF Ted.

I am going to cautiously thank Tim for that. I think. Unless he chimes in that he's seen it, I've given him this:

They just did something for the upcoming Savage DVD with Mooney, Graves, Bayley, and DDP.

This has to be one of the better 90 second matches in history:

That was kind of what I thought it might be, which is why I avoided it.

I haven't. Nor the houston one. I half figured i'd get annoyed with Conrad ragging on them as workers or something.

It's no PWOGWE.

It's got to be Road Dogg. If only the Double J stuff matters, there's almost no one else. Maybe if they can get some current mainstream country star or something?
