love to have a triple threat end in a no contest, two days after the other company runs a huge ppv with a title match entirely based around triple threats always being no-dq

Yeah it was a pretty good match, too. Seems there could have been a better way to get everyone in to the match, but eh.

So this Candice/Poppy thing is leading to an Io/Sarray tag team, right? Because Candice and Indi beating up Zoey/Zayda tonight and likely confronting Poppy next week seems like a way to have Sarray and Io find common ground and get a tag title shot at Takeover (probably with Sarray/Io winning, because they really need to start pushing forward on this InDex storyline, and losing the tag titles is the way to go for it).

So is The Diamond Mine basically WWE's (attempted) answer to Bloodsport?

And didn't they already try to do an answer to Bloodsport with RAW Underground?

I'm just wondering why they should worry about a GCW worked shoot special event done in a parking lot

edit: not denigrating bloodsport, i bought the drat thing to watch it - but why would WWE even have this on their radar

If it's the impetus for anything, I'd imagine it's because Bloodsport kind of gets a good bit of attention from diehards and is usually received well. So of course they'd want to try and do the same thing but make it extremely watered down and weird to the point of removing any actual similarities between the two things.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I had just assumed that this would be either a Tough Enough kind of deal or would be the actual developmental brand for people not ready for NXT TV.

Joke’s on me for thinking WWE wouldn’t try doing worked shoot fights for a second time in 12 months.

Possible reason is that they really want to push Karrion, and he's very good at the worked shoot style.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Yeah I just caught it now, I enjoyed it. Lots of good matches, mostly new feuds starting and I'm not tired of Cole and O'Riley yet. Samoa Joe really adds a nice element to everything.

the whole production also seems a lot tighter and smoother the past 3 weeks, even with the 10 minute grace. it's got a good flow as of late

The fact they ditched the video fans is a big help. Even if I think Florida perpetually trying to make Adam Cole the top face is weird.
