Rarity posted:Ep 5: That was a great match start to finish. Bianca is awesome in the ring and I love that hair whip thing she does, I definitely thought that the match was over when she hit that 450, it felt like the finale. I don't think it's possible to not mark out when Kairi calls her shot on Sailing the Seas.

Bianca really impressed me for her level of experience. Super disappointed that Shayna didn't choke out Stephanie in the ceremony. Also disappointed that the WWE Network thumbnails for later episodes spoiled earlier ones for me. Ah well. Just don't look closely when navigating if you don't want to see who wins the quarter finals.

She's basically an anime pirate, which is almost exactly the right tone to strike. And I adore the whole look and music, it's so different than anyone else on the roster that it immediately screams to pay attention to her.

The commentary is a BIT better in these later rounds, but I feel like JR kept going back to the same talking points for each woman. It got really annoying by the semi final matches.

Lita's the same, I think she said that bit about young girls not knowing to be intimidated about 4 times in ep 5 and 6. This is where the CWC commentary team shone, because Mauro, Bryan and even Corey would certainly have followed guys like ZSJ, Ibushi and Metalik enough to know more than what's bullet-pointed on a sheet of A4.

My favorite Lita moment so far is her continuing to talk about how a head kick has just given Abbey the advantage, while Rachel is already back on her feet throwing forearms at her and about to land a super powerslam.

Yo I watched the first MYC episode and really liked it, but I don't think I'm going to have time to binge the other seven eps before the final airs. Anyone have up a set of recommendations for each episode on the very good matches I should watch? I'll try to see everything, I just might run out of time and want to watch the finals live

Rarity posted:Ep 7: Yeah, going in I was certain that Shayna was taking the win, but man they put on a hell of a match and had me rethinking it by the end. That midair reversal into the rear naked was an awesome finish. I wasn't huge on Shayna at first, I'm usually a bit wary about the idea of shoot fighting stars going into pro wrestling, but she's one of my favorites now and was doing some great heel work in the ring.

I was honestly a bit worried about the MYC at first since there were some weak matches in the opening batch, but these last few episodes have all been good to great matches back to back.

wwe filling half the bracket with people who have no business being on television right now was a stupid decision when they had very talented alternates in town but the release schedule being what it is it wont matter and will be forgotten when people binge the last four

the best part of kairi/bianca (and kairi/tessa) was that in round 1 when kairi pointed to her elbow it was almost like "hey everybody! watch this fun elbow drop i'm gonna do!" in the bianca match, when she pointed it was "i am going to kill this bitch" piper niven and abbey laith area also really good and i hope they do big things

My fave was in Mercedes vs. Shayna when she was trying to say "these women know each other's moves very well" and came up with something like "these women each both know their moves." I think it was actually worse than that but I can't recall the exact phrasing.

Saint Freak posted:I don't even think 'yachtsperson' is a word. Sounds like someone needs to be elbow dropped. I binged it all and came away very impressed with Belair, she looks like she can do whatever she wants in the ring athletically, and just needs some refinement, beautiful 450. So while the NXT entrants were mostly fodder, I feel like Logan, Belair, and Conte all looked good. Evans too, I just hate the gimmick. I also came away loving Toni Storm, having never seen her, and it's a shame she's unlikely to sign, but she's got to be likely down the road I would think? Anyways, the horsewomen vs. horsewomen is irritating since any match would be all smoke and mirrors, but it's totally a Wrestlemania thing. I am just not sure what heat Rousey is going to have with the way she went out. Baszler makes sense though, they want a big heel for Sane to fight She's alright, but she's also 38 and this is all to set up a gimmick match, so my feeling is that she should lose and then head straight to the main roster.

Lita is just as bad. I hope for the finals (although I'm not holding my breath) they have someone who is competent/interested on commentary. Bring out Graves and Philips or something. Or even McGuiness.

Yeah, I feel like JR didn't give a gently caress and just phoned in his commentary (and with the stream quality I was getting it literally sounded phoned in, gently caress my internet connection), especially since Lita is abysmal as a commentator and gave him less than nothing to work with. As for the episodes (all of them): I didn't think anything was as good as Logan/Yim, but that match was super solid so no shame in that. Pushing Shayna this hard came as a bit of a surprise to me, I have to say. Maybe I thought she was too green or expected the MYC to basically set up Kairi as the breakout star, but they're really going for the 4HW matchup, huh. I actually like her pseudo-shoot style, I think it works well inside WWE IF her opponent is willing to engage and work stiff. Mercedes/Bazler was basically a strong-style match, and probably my match of the semis. Just two big woman hitting the gently caress out of each other. Bianca Belair has the potential to be a goddamn superstar if this is how good she is with ONE YEAR of experience. Unfortunately she might be more of a comet considering she's 28 and retired from Crossfit due to injuries, but hell, she's, as Scott Steiner would put it, a GENETIC FREAK. Abbey, Toni and Piper are also pretty good, and I feel like I didn't see enough outta Dakota Kai. Her quarter-finals match felt way too short, and since her R1 was a smoke-and-mirrors affair...Toni is basically ready-made for WWE. She has a great look, good spots and is an okay promo. Lots of in-ring charisma too. Just put her in there and let her kick Emma's rear end until Emma gets back in shape or something. I saw a bit of Abbey's stuff in CHIKARA and I liked her better here, she's a real good babyface and I think WWE needs more of those in the women's division. Piper was just good all-around, her match with Toni was fun. I guess the story for the finals is that both Kairi and Shayna have insta-kill finishers, with Kairi being more experienced while Bazler is Legit Tough. If they just wanna do a 4HW x 4HW thing, I'd rather have Sane win it. Ronda is famous enough that Shayna will be second fiddle to her regardless. Kairi is probably poised to challenge Asuka for the title, so you could do a champion x champion match if she wins the MYC. I guess you could do the same with Bazler, but I kinda think NXT needs a pure babyface to win that belt for a change, plus if she's gonna be busy with 4HW shenanigans the main roster is a better fit.
