So, just a heads-up, if you're a Network subscriber, double-check your bank statements. I canceled back on April 3 and was just looking over my debit card charges yesterday and found two more Network charges, one from just this past Wednesday, on it.

It's literally the match my ex showed me that got me into wrestling. I can't believe I've been so into this for 2 years now.

I'm eagerly waiting to see if Jinder/Orton can match Ospreay/Ricochet,Taka/Taichi, Dunne/Bate or the DIY/AOP match. I'm sure it'll be super hot!

I don't remember that Sasha/Becky match specifically but I'll probably go back and watch it tonight based on the comments from everyone. I'm sure it was great and I loved it when I saw it, but you cram a lot of wrestling into two years and totally forget certain things.

America's $1 Funnyman

Nearly seven full hours with no posts, WWE brass would be having a field day. Well, I'm here to say that the squared circle is the only place to see catch as catch can bowling shoe ugly not ballet stuff!

I am looking forward to Nakamura vs Ziggy, even though Ziggler's heel schtick hasn't done much for me of late, I think it'll be a good watch.

If nothing else, it should be deeply satisfying to watch Dolph Ziggler take several knees to the head and face :unsmith:

In all seriousness, JR is currently on WWE contract, there's no reason he can't call this match.

WWE isn't operating their scammy service (in which they gather massive amounts of credit card information on the promise that so long as you hit a button they give you they won't charge it) in a perfectly legitimate manner?

Well I never.

Okada showing up would actually make the show good. I'm not sure much else would.

It's not unreasonable to try and focus on the newer younger commentators- and JR is getting worse with age. Enjoy your bizarre UK JR and that's all you're going to get!

Also, commentary rant:
During Tyler Bate/Pete Dunne there was a moment where Tyler knocked down Dunne outside the ring, noticed it was the count of 8, looked at the ref, thought about it, then decided to throw Pete into the ring to try and win by pinfall or submission and not just take the 'weak' win. Pete Dunne then slid out because he's an rear end in a top hat who wants every advantage he can get, and used this to get his comeback into the match.

Commentary mentioned none of this fantastic storytelling.

I heard their segments are the lowest rated segments of smackdown cause they're only internet-popular. Casual fans probably just think they're a new billy and chuck. Basically after this minipush they're done until they eventually break up.

He should be getting himself over in another line of work because the unnamed person in NXT who told Cass "If you weren't 7 feet tall you would have been fired a long time ago" was absolutely right. He's had six years of time in the WWE system and he barely looks better than he did in FCW so hey good for him that he lucked into another few years of a steady paycheck being the next Too Cool.

Sadly WWE needs the next generation of tall monsters for the up and coming babyfaces to be able to conquer and the only one showing any kind of ability to both work and get the crowd interested is Braun. In the end this is a condemnation of NXT and the Performance Center in general since talent goes in, spends years training, and come out looking no better for it while NXT has moved from 'developmental fed for the next wave of talent' to 'the place where you get to enjoy our recently signed mid-30s indie talent for 12-18 months before they get called up to the main roster, oh and maybe also watch these five Performance Center graduates in the undercard, who cares'

Didn't Braun not work a single match on NXT? Is like the only person who debuted straight to the main roster without going via NXT in forever.
