Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

That show, and that match in particular. Watching it live with nothing else going to distract me, really cemented in my head the complaints that are made about the commentary and the camerawork in WWE. So many things that should be dramatic ruined by commentary and so many things that probably looked awesome ruined by camera cuts and zooms that wouldn't look out of place in the 60's Batman TV show.

It’s just the mentality.

Its a very annoying thing he does, and I mostly hate it, but it was warranted here. People enjoyed Finn/AJ, and it was a great match. But, a 4.25-4.5 star match like that really might not break the top 50 this year, when that match probably is top five just a few years ago. The WWE nut huggers want the best wwe match to be moty, and it just isn’t. Dave certainly can swing the pendulum a little far in the other direction, with his NJPW and PWG praise.

dave even basically said that in any other year it might be in the discussion, but the standard for great matches has just been so crazy high this year that aj/finn really doesn't even rate.

Today's WOR:

*Bryan starts trying to think like Vince McMahon totally of his own volition to make Finn's loss make sense*

*Dave tears apart this logic*

Bryan: "I don't know! Stop trying to make me think like Vince!"

oh hi.

ck-1 is a team with near zero chemistry (which is INSANE for people who have been in units together before AND have been in the same promotion for two decades) and only exist to give dragon kid and cima something to do while the company does other things. that's on top of their reign only having good matches carried by better and established teams, which is frustrating when this reign has eclipsed reigns by the best dragon gate tag teams, whom had better and more consistent reigns.

which as probably the biggest cima fan around, i think it's a statement that i'm willing to run down ck-1 as much as i do on twitter, in audio, and in articles.

Dave mentioned that Vince called him a couple times leading up to the invasion asking his opinion. And that Vince did the opposite of what he suggested.

Hopefully Dave gives the TLC match a higher rating than Finn/AJ because Roman should have been in it.

I genuinely think the logic was that it didn't hurt Finn because he wasn't wearing the paint, which protects the gimmick of him not losing while wearing it.

Yeah, this was my guess. My only problem with is it he still beat Bray without it, but then again I think that's more about Bray's booking being shitpoor than anything about Finn.
