It depends on the company as far as "breaking the rules" of wrestling. I loved HUSTLE and love DDT. They can do shit like that gummi bear thumb tacks. But if New Japan did that, or any local fed that the basis of its "wrestling physics" hinges closer to reality - it would have annoyed me. That being said, Danshoku Dino is way better at wrestling than Joey Ryan, and technically he carried Ryan's junk in that match. So Joey Ryan getting a vote and Dino being left off the nomination list entirely is a bigger travesty.

When I was a kid I thought Z-Man was cool because his name was Z-Man. That was before I watched him wrestle. Then I was like "He's not nearly as cool as a guy named Z-Man should be." Then I found out his name was Tom Zenk and I was like "Oh that makes more sense. That's how a Tom Zenk would wrestle I guess."

I should have voted for Fujita Jr. I really dig him. He's one I regret quite a bit.

I love Suwama, can't believe Dean loves him more. I was the other vote for Kaz. I think he's one of the most consistent dudes in All Japan, he's absurdly smooth in the ring, and while most of the juniors want to go bananas with the spots, he'll reign it in a little so everything matters a little more.

I'm with you, but I've kind of been that way for a long time. I only keep up with the show via youtube and whatever my friends tell me is going on. I got the Network for free this month just to watch Shinsuke/Zayn and Bayley/Asuke. I didn't even want to watch Mania and I only did because we didn't have much going on and I figured it'd be okay to have on in the background. I didn't even finish it. The talent is so immense that I can't fully ignore it, but I refuse to invest money into it until there are massive, probably unrealistic, changes.

Austin was the only one who let his guy beat him up so he could make a comeback before the stunner. Made me want to rethink my GWE rankings.

I think they were trying to out think the audience by not giving them a satisfying ending so that by the end they'd have to cheer for Roman. I also think they don't think very well.

Maybe she was planning on a trip to Red Lobster. Were the skull people different people than the ones in the video?

I'm not disagreeing, but are they also saying the masses are also world champions? Does that mean the Authority were actually praising the masses who are voiceless as being championship caliber fans. A Kind of thank you for sitting through so much shit, knowing their opinions didn't matter. We really need to dissect this as much as possible. How far down the rabbit hole can we go?

Thought it was supposed to be a Mad Max kind of deal, with the metal over their mouth and Steph yelling down on them.

That Triple H entrance was amazing. It fully explained the booking of this show as a meta wrestling art piece that expresses the conflation of the Authority Characters with the reality of the people who run the company. And the audience's inability to separate themselves from it despite knowing it's awful because their lives are empty. The whole show I've been trying to figure out why this show was so bad and that entrance and promo made everything click into place. So much so that I'm satisfied and can go to bed now without even watching the Reigns Hunter match. The climax of this beast was that entrance. Good night all

Rock with a flamethrower doing what has to be done hopefully.

oh didn't see Mark Henry was still there. He must have been effectively using the negative space as MAtt D would say.

I guess I'm rooting for Tyler Breeze to win now?

Mark Henry walking to the ring outworked that whole Taker match.

They could have cut 10 minute off this, and given it to the women so they could actually have time to sell.

Scott Steiner brawling with Bobby Lashley is a good time. More gooder than this.

Paying an absurd amount of money to see something clouds the judgment.

There are so many "whys" when it comes to this match it's hard to know where to start.

You're right it is literally nothing. It's just a waiting game until the M. Night twist ending.

Sent. I'll probably continue working on it after the fact until we do it again, because I'm terrible completest. Still expanding my Lucha understanding so any excuse to do that is always fun.

I thought that was Scott Hall's fantasy booking plan, and it made so much sense that of course they didn't do it.
