Didn't they just name it Sailing the Seas a couple episodes ago, or am I misremembering things?

Not a good match considering the hype. At least it didn't have the run-ins that most speculated, but having Shayna play a big monster as green as she is just didn't work well for me. They are already naming the Diving Elbow the Insane Elbow, lol WWE.

I wouldn't take a single word from Lita or JR to heart. We're lucky they didn't call it a knee dropping.

jr called asuka, summer, becky, and charlotte "fans at ringside" and referred to a random woman seated near ronda and jessamyn "marina shafir"

I actually thought JR and Lita were better and didn't detract from the action in the ring. The booking was spot on in the lead up to this, having the naturally lovable face versus the naturally unlikable heel. If there was a meta-storyline leading into this match, it was whether brand exposure (the often suggested 4HW finish) or pure wrestling booking was more important to WWE. In fact for me, the meta storyline made the heel/face dynamics even more elevated. In this case, the right call was made and now Kairi Sane is an instant star and the MYC goes down in the history books as a success rather than a wasted opportunity.

Edit: Also Kairi's finisher should be called the Blunderbuss

Yeah JR and Lita weren't as bad, few slip ups, but not too many miscalls in the ring. There was one pretty bad one where JR praised the stomp to the solar plexus when she was working the elbow, but Lita was there to correct him instantly and he caught the hint and corrected it.

My thoughts on Kairi being in the title hunt now: She should lose, but get the title either at the Royal Rumble Takeover or Wrestlemania Takeover at the absolute latest.

It's a multi-women match, right? Probably best for Kairi to look good in it but not win because Peyton and Billie cheat or someone else interferes against Kairi. It'll be a lot more impressive to win it from a single's match, and waiting until Wrestlemania season would probably be the best idea to make that happen.

I mean, unless you want Kairi to go undefeated like Asuka.

Considering its a multi person title match supposedly, its not a bad idea. Kairi doesn't have to eat the pin.

Match was entertaining and I thought both women did good work. I'm happy the win went to the better wrestler of the two, and incredibly happy there were no stupid four horsewomen things or interference.

More of this kind of stuff. A lot more.

I am so tired of people saying things should wait until Wrstlemania. This is why we never got Undertaker/Sting.

We should just be getting the best matchups possible, and not suffering through garbage 11 months out of the year because something needs to go on Wrestlemania weekend.

Had hoped Alison would be invited as she lives locally.

Alison worked Japan and the UK when few women did and (re)opened communication channels 15 years or so ago.

OK.

Wish the semi formal recognition on JR's initial podcast that Johnny Ace screwed the pooch for a whole generation of women continued on in the MYC. Like each loser kicking him in the nuts or something like that.

He was making a prediction based on the angle they were developing on tv. He didn't really position Shayna winning as an insider scoop.

Kairi is super fun so I'm glad she won, though it wouldn't have bothered me if it went the other way.

The binge format didn't really work for me but the tournament was cool, the best heel and best face made it to the final, and the face won. Hooray :)
