nth. tucker and otis are on different brands! Makes no sense for Tucker to turn, unless he gets traded or something.

Also that was the last match I got to see last night, the network pretty much decided I wasn't watching HIAC anymore after that for some reason.

MOTYC: Bayley vs Sasha Banks from Hell in a Cell.

Never gonna happen, but Sasha had bladed, this match would have been an all time great.

These two are so good together and deserve so much better, but even WWE couldn't get in the way of the two of them just having a hell of a match. Bayley may legitimately be the absolute best all around performer in the promotion.

Nth, agree about Bayley too. Absolute legend

Oh my loving God. Words cannot express how loving dreadful this was. The lovely match structure, the botches, the :geno: ref, the ACT-ing, the TERRIBLE ending.... Jesus loving Christ.
Nth

I've spent most of a day trying to figure out what I didn't like about this match, and I think its because its something that could only happen in the no-crowd era, but in a bad way. The attempt to draw me further in by mic'ing the ring so you can hear everything did the opposite. There was a weird dissonance between that and the canned crowd noise, combined with them not playing to the crowd at all, that just made me feel like I was watching a badly acted TV show. If Roman had a mic or something it would've been better.. but also wouldn't have made sense for the story they're doing..

Also when they mic the ring like that you can hear all the loving awful coughing and retching from the selling and thats just unpleasant to listen to.

they moved tucker back to smackdown apparently, rescind your wmotyc nominations for miz vs otis based on otis and tucker not being on the same brand!

I'll second this. I thought the action in the match was pretty good and even the acting they were doing was decent.

Also nth the MOTY for Bayley/Sasha.

Well, WWE has gotten another MOTYC, the first for the main brand since Wrestlemania(!).

On the flipside, they've added two new WMOTYCs to their tally, less than a month after they got their last. Also, in what I thought was an amusing coincidence:

The sad thing is that the Roman/Jey storyline would most likely have turned out great if they just didn't overscript the whole thing to hell and back.

Supposedly they're not actually scripting it. They're letting Roman do what he wants.

I refuse to believe that Vince would keep his hands off a Roman storyline, but in case it's actually true then what in the actual gently caress?

HM: Brandon Cutler vs Peter Avalon, AEW Dark October 27th

A proper satisfying conclusion to their story. Very dynamic, managed to balance the comedy of both characters against a real sense of drama. And hopefully they can both move on from here.

I guess that explains why even in short twitter clips he doesn't seem to know if he is concerned or a cold blooded killer minute to minute. (Not that this is his fault the match makes no sense so he wouldn't have any idea how a real person would react.)

I do feel bad for Jey there because he seems to think this is a permanent thing and he won't be scripted anymore.
