This really is a 1993 house show. Maybe Khali will come out in the Giant Gonazales bodysuit.

Trips comes off like a genius for going on first.

This one feels a little bit better due to the heel/face distinction and some extra selling?

WWE drops pretty much every opportunity but not adding Harper to the Orton vs Bray match at Mania was bad.

"It was called a dream match. Now it's called the rematch." I so rarely watch this stuff with the sound on these days.

One guy has long hair? Ah ah ah ! Any women trainee ?

Oh hey! Finn got some color after all!

Once we all got disappointed by the jacket, I just wanted that to go without Joe hurting himself, really.

Given the time for each match relative to Mania, this has more of a Wrestlemania 5-7 sort of feel to it where they run a bunch of matches that don't go all that long. It's definitely weird.

Cole: "Finn Balor of Balor Club." What does that even mean? Can you mail away for a membership card? You can't be in a faction if you're the only person. Is it like Parts Unknown?

Did anyone else's screen go black, white, and repressive when Finn came out or was it just me?

This is like a WWE Sampler Pack.

Wait, would they all be on each other's shoulders?

Oh wait, nevermind. It's an Usos match. We're in "3/4th of the match is part of the finishing stretch" mode.

Rowan's got pretty good "stuff." Weird that they totally bypassed a shine here but I guess Uso's are only de facto faces. i feel kind of bad for Miz with a newborn.

Vaguely weird to see a backstage bit where there was a moment that would have 100% get a pop in the US were it shown, and it not getting any pop at all.

This would be better if they had Nakamura narrate it in his current character.

There's working for the back row and then there's working for the International Space Station.

Good on Jeff for knocking Mahal down by tossing himself into the mat at full speed and creating a shockwave.

Ok, I'm burned out. Apparently, my patience level is apparently equal to a half-preempted by a Braves Game episode of WCW Saturday Night from 1991.

Babyface Crusher (Sheik) Wyatt is kind of fun in practice.

They're definitely hitting all sorts of crazy stuff in this.

Sometimes you need a perfectly acceptable, bland *** Coliseum Video World Tour 2018 match with a lot of star power and a goofy, feel good finish.

I like how the second after I read this, I saw a guy with a "too sweet" sign. I kind of like how Slow and Steady this match is with Trips countering a bunch of Cena's stuff in simple ways. They're working it easy and big. (And just as I say that, Hunter bumps over the top in the corner).

I wish we were in the reality where Angle married Steph and Triple H is being embarrassingly booked with Ciampa was his illegitimate kid.
