Pete and Timothy check out some key shows this week.
-ROH we discuss the most recent episode. We look at Adam Page and his lack of connection with the crowd.
-Lucha Underground has Aztec Warfare 3. We discuss what we liked and what we didn't. We discuss booking decisions that have helped cool down the company from a year ago. Are their better female options than Sexy Star? Hear the guys thoughts.
-CWFWorldwide is looked at. We look at all the matches. Does White Mike have a babyface run in him? The guys discuss key factors on what makes the show consistent.
-Rev Pro Global Wars Night 1. We analyze each match and give star ratings. Is Shibata the right guy to be Rev Pro Champ? Was having Sabre Jr. be the heel good for business? Would the current audience know the significance of Flying Yamada? Is Marty regressing? This and much more.

I have a theory that Taya was supposed to be in Sexy Star's place at Aztec Warfare but got hurt. They had been planting seeds of dissent early on with Mundo before her injury. Then Ivelisse fucked up her ankle as well. There's no real baby face women on the roster otherwise, so Sexy Star ended up getting the underdog role. I honestly thought it worked for the episode. Definitely the 3rd best AW to date, but still a really good match.

It's funny, because this prove your points on Page in a roundabout way, but he DID beat Jay Briscoe (at DBD - and Timothy was there!).

 

I liked the build to that Fish/Page match and do think there was more a chance than usual to see a change there given the past TV and the running angle of Fish being beat up and continually worn down. Now, despite of that, the crowd probably still wasn't buying it, which goes back to Page overall.

 

I liked him best as the second to Whitmer as a jerky midcard heel in the Decade. I've long stumped that he hasn't connected at all in any capacity since the face turn earlier this year.

 

I really liked the CMLL/Addiction match. Kamaitachi came off so happy to be in the ring with those guys, he just bumped like crazy for them. Good send-off for him also.

 

Agree on the teammates feuding storyline for castle/cabana. I actually think anyone opposing Castle could likely be booed - even Cabana - but the show is in less than two weeks, which makes it tough. We'll see.

 

The re-programming on Lee/Taylor will take a couple matches, but ROH using them in traditional tags and as part of the division is a good thing. I like that they started so different and came in absolutely crazy.
