I really liked all these post-match promos. Their tone is a nice change of pace and one I'd like to see more often in wrestling.

Is it just me or does it feel like Sanity takes forever to do anything? I don't dislike them and I feel like the gimmick has legs potentially, but they stand there and pose before, during, and after everything they do for like 2 minutes at a time. I feel like they should strike suddenly and cause chaos, then be out of there before you know what happened.

I'm glad the music department has finally caught up to the popularity of Robert Miles' 1995 hit "Children".

Sometimes. I am a fan of the flailing dancing they started doing in the background when Eric Young was cutting a promo in the last episode though.

Yeah, I'm fine when they're actually in motion and I'm glad they're speaking now. Before then though their intro/outro felt overly long.

I've been really high on Daria Berenato since Tough Enough so I'm really happy to see how much she's progressed. I see more potential in her than pretty much anyone right now, and part of that is her style standing out so much from anyone else, even the main roster.

Evie and Heidi Lovelace dropped the SHIMMER tag titles to Tessa Blanchard and Vanessa Kraven this month.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I hope Ricochet doesn't have enough leverage when if he ever signs a contract to bring along Tessa.

Tessa is very good. Her promo ability alone is great. WWE would be dumb not to sign her.

Didn't she already get a shot? Not that it would stop them from bringing her in if they had a mind to.

Do we really need to have the Tessa conversation yet again? There's good reasons why she hasn't been signed. Yes she nice to DM Punk but she's been in endless backstage fights and is known for having a horrible attitude in general. Despite Tessa's 2 year head start Racheal Ellering WILL be signed ahead of Tessa.

Good, that means it'll be only a bit more than 2 months between Toronto and San Antonio, and a bit more than 2 months between San Antonio and Orlando, instead of 4 1/2 months between Toronto and Orlando. That should hopefully result in storylines progressing faster in NXT and the episodes being more important than they have been over the past half year.

:agreed:

Hopefully they just have the Takeovers be on the weekends of the "big 4" and then have another one between WM and SummerSlam to keep it from dragging.

We are getting a new title contender now, right? As much as I like Nak, it seems like those two have been facing exclusively each other for a year.

E: Also, Aries should start doing a Cowboy Bob Orton/Lex Luger gimmick where he hits people with his eye socket as a cheating tactic.

Joe vs Nak is going to be at Japan. That could logically be the last match, assuming he doesn't just win it back in Japan, giving Joe his contractual rematch

There's a cage match as well on the 8th in Australia and that could be the "ok I don't care who wins no more rematches" point in the feud (with the loser hopefully getting called up to SmackDown Live)

psst you wanna do a communism?
What they need now is multiple challengers, hell make a Triple threat or Fatal Fourway for the main event; enough of this tedious log jam bullshit.

Or better yet have Joe and/or Nakamura have legit matches on the TV that aren't just squashes.

STOP DOING HEROIN
If they have to keep the stupid rematch clause, they should do it on the first TV episode after the Takeover. Just get it over with and get some new contenders in the mix, and oh hey your champ is actually wrestling on TV and you have a quality main event to promote. Instead, they just book the rematch for the next Takeover and everybody's gotta spend another 2-3 months with their thumbs up their asses.

Balor, Joe and Nakamura have been going around in circles for over a year now and it's strangled the life out of the men's singles division. Stop dragging this poo poo out and let's get some real storyline progression going.

The problem with doing the rematch the next night is it becomes a foregone conclusion, jut like it does on RAW when they rematch half the PPV card every time. Rematches should be a big deal, built to properly and the outcome sold as unknown, the problem is having 4 month gaps between them.
