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 :)

I didn't like the binge format because it was hard to find non spoiler discussion of it until you watched them all. Would prefer once a week

The binge format was perfect for me, because my partner and I had just marathoned Glow the weekend before, so we just went straight from one to the next.

I really enjoyed this tournament. These kinda shows are the reason I keep my Network subscription, so I'm glad they keep happening.

Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
Didn't like the binge format. Didn't like that all the matches had the same 8-13 minute length. It stinks of WWE cost cutting measures not having a seperate day seperate event for the finals. Where's the eliminated competitors tag matches? The scouting? The main roster showcases? 30 minute ending is just a letdown IMO.

But wrestling is still fun, I liked Shanya more in the finals than before, a fun match happened where Kairi looked great winning and I'm happy for her.

The eliminated competitors tag match was on Night 2, but was uploaded as a bonus video to the Network. :ssh:

The advantage of doing it the way they did was they went right from the Owens/Vince segment to the match so you had a crowd that was still awake.

Codependent Poster posted:

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.

Billie and Peyton loving suck and should never come close to touching the title

Yup, they've been on NXT for a year if not more and they are literally exactly still just as poo poo as their first appearances.

Despite my current loathing for WWE I found a front row ticket ( the corner section to the right of the announce booth) for super cheap on a resale site and so I went almost entirely because of this match. I couldn't have asked for a better one for my first ever Row 1 experience.

Also after Kairi won and she was doing the turnbuckle climbs, she came over to my corner and I was waiting at attention saluting her, and when she noticed we made eye contact and she did a little laugh and saluted straight to me. It was the best thing ever.

They advertised the live special well in advance, and the crowd woke up by the end of the final match. Also the NXT team apparently booked most of it.

It's in the same section as the episodes and final, it's the "Road to the Final" show or something like that.

I wouldn't say they stayed excited, everyone was pretty dead for TJP and Rich's match. They woke back up for Gulak's powerpoint though, and they absolutely exploded for the Fashion Police, the pop was second only to Orton and Nakamura coming out for the Dark Main (holy poo poo Orton is still a megastar, I nearly fell out of my chair I was so shocked by how massive the response to his music was)

...I wasn't the only one who secretly hoped that police siren meant Scott Steiner, was I? Stupid, I know, but still.

if they did decide to cancel 205 live a proper finale would be getting steiner to redo this

Yeah that match was pretty dead, which is a drat shame because I really liked it, but it seems to be getting better every week. I'm not Enzo's biggest fan, but his presence on 205 has been a real boon, and it's not like they just cheer for Enzo and ignore the rest either. Gulak seemed to be handling the crowd pretty well even without any star power, and when Breezango came out they went absolutely nuts.

Hopefully they maintain this forward momentum and increased crossover so people actually get properly hyped for the good show.

My Dudes, I think I've said before but there's an all women's show on FITE.tv tonight(afternoon in the states), it's a crossover show from Bellatrix and Shimmer.

I'm a bit biased on this show as I train at a wrestling school run by Skarlett who is facing off against Mercedes Martinez, she's very good so it should be a fun match.
