I imagine if you have seen something and have already written it up (especially recently), you could ask for a different match. Still haven't heard anything from topropepodcast. I guess I'll give it another day.

Is there any character work by her at all? The only thing to her character I have seen so far (mind you, I don't watch the weekly show, at least not in the last half year) are the contacts and the video on the screen during her entrance. I don't even know what her character is supposed to be. Vampire? Werewolf? I think she battles the dark forces of the Negaverse?

I think it's a little different if the part timer is an smaller internet darling workrate guy, one that had been held back over the years.

It's pretty obvious that they're using 205 Live as a way to cope with the fact that so many of the current talent pool is tiny but well-supported by the fanbase. Just stick them all in the corner so as to not dilute the heavyweights they actually want to push/market, etc. Really, what they should have done is made the paltry investment in buying TNA when it was at its lowest and make this the new X Division.

It's on the front page of youtube and was well over 6 million when i saw it was there this morning.

Im sure I can find you guys a podcast of a six year old trying to read the phone book that would be more worth your time.

We might have a couple of repeats this week. It's bound to start happening. Sam, topropepodcast has apparently been lax on giving people stuff. I'll reach out with a PM later on and make sure he's still with us. If he's not, then I'll be glad to double up. HeadCheese, if that is in fact your name, you're new to the board. Welcome. I've got a few reviews from you here but I don't know much about what you're into/what you've seen, unlike people who have been here for years. Tell me a bit about yourself and I'll get you a match?

It's ok. Not everyone has to do every week. I think we'll still have a solid roster for tomorrow. Keep in mind, I was expecting ~10 people tops, not ~30.

lol ownedIts nice to be pleasantly surprised once in a while. This is a time where Im more than happy to have been wrong.

We might have to do a review of people who dropped off the face of the earth, too. But I'm not ready to do that yet. Maybe next week. I'll catch everyone who wants off the ship for a week, everyone who wants ON the ship starting this week, and shoot out a new list tomorrow.

The Mickie/Trish stuff was great too. They packed a ton into that Women's rumble.

Another nitpick/missed opportunity: Alexa tripping Naomi off the chair as she passed by to eliminate her would have been so much better than Nia catching her and tossing her out.

I would have rather Asuka fought off both Bellas as opposed to having Nikki eliminate Brie. Especially so soon after the really great Natalya turn on a crying Beth.

Is this really true? I thought the final six felt special (both the young vs old and then shifting to Cena/Reigns vs Nak/Balor) which is pretty much half the battle. The Corbin stuff was good. The Slater stuff was good. One very fun surprise and one great return. Cole completely didn't matter. Almas had a good showing, I guess. The Kofi stuff was ok but went on a bit much with him hopping on one foot. The match felt like it was missing a hoss/giant. The women's match felt a lot more special/memorable to me.

I loved how the Women's Rumble felt like some sort of weird celebration of the last twenty years with all the ups and downs including the Bellas as final bosses for the Revolution. Rousey came off as charming actually, and I'm naturally inclined against her.

Kelly gets a K for effort. Sorry Stace.

Molly coming out with the Mighty Molly styled walk and then just killing everyone was tremendous.

Where's Torrie's little dog? Or at least David Flair? Logan feels like a really good base for this thing so far.

Shouldn't Dana be working the new character somehow? (also, how awesome was Hojo getting her moment?)

Lita's astoundingly blown up. Sasha has to be in heaven though.

This is fun.

I just thought Braun eliminated Brock by tossing him over the top. I think I'm still an hour ago here.

Rey vs Finn seems like a very natural Mania match. Watch them do Finn vs Kane instead.

I can't imagine being in the crowd at this point, for this match. I'm burned out just sitting here.

I'm just caught up. Some of the face-offs there with the final six felt like such a huge deal. Good for them. I will say that there were a ton of mechanical bits that felt off for the whole thing really. Stuff like Big E putting himself on the apron with Jinder or Ziggler and Nak struggling to get in the right spot or sure, Cena talking to Reigns openly during the double 619. But there was just a ton of that up and down. I noticed it way more than usual, maybe because the camera seemed to be playing catch up the whole time.
