I'm trying to think of commentary teams that could replace these losers, and I just came up with the Dream Team of Kris Kloss and Don West

There would be so much yelling

I wonder if Jim Ross could set up some kind of live streaming commentary service. Pay him 5 bucks to listen to him call live events from his home. It would be like Rifftrax but for competent wrestling commentary.

I'm reminded of Claudio vs. Kensuke Sasaki, but that was way better than this

I feel kinda bad for Bennett. They've overbooked the living hell out of this match and he's the one that's gonna be poo poo on for it.

match was watchable. Tanahashi won without being hurt. About the best you could've expected.

Bennett's apron suplex bump and Maria's interaction with Tanahashi saved that from being the worst Tanahashi singles match I've seen.

This is the basically how all of Michael Bennett's matches go actually because all that he's got for him is Maria.

Shame that Nakamura didn't hang in the ring longer for "Please Come Back" chants.

O'Reilly was Davey Richards' sidekick and he turned on him so they came up with a decent name stylized really dumb to play on that

No reason. People assumed that the DR is only capitalized because the formed after O'Reilly turned on Davey Richards and its supposed to be him obsessing over Davey.
