The two matches that were good (Sami/, Owens and Big E/Apollo) should have had five minutes longer. The Raw women's title match was fine, let down by an unenthusiastic crowd. The main event was good until that finish.

This Aleister Black stuff is awful. Just let the dude wrestle and not talk. He's got enough natural charisma and mystique to get himself over without the videos. Oh wait, it's WWE, they can't play to anybody's strengths at all.

BJW is weird because WWE let WALTER wrestle a show there in October 2019, and they don't normally do that kind of poo poo with anyone but EVOLVE or WxW or PROGRESS, so I guess everyone assumed some deal would happen which made no sense because, y'know, deathmatches.

Walter must have something in his contract that allows him to work anywhere he wants with the exception of televised events. He's the biggest star in Europe and has this awesome "I don't need WWE" attitude. They're desperate to keep him happy.

Re: WWE buying a Japanese promotion. Isn't there a law that prohibits any foreign company from owning a Japanese business? Like Disneyland Japan is technically owned by a Japanese corporation that licenses the Disney stuff? How would this affect WWE?

There was no chance ITV was going to continue to produce World of Sport. It was a nostalgia run for British boomers who only know Big Daddy or Giant Haystacks. It's hilarious that WWE instantly went into panic mode about this and torpedoed the UK scene as a result.

Instead of doing Kross vs either Cole or O'Reily or Dunne or Gargano in a singles match which could highlight the challengers strengths as they attempt to defeat the great beast (ie Walter's NXT UK title reign), WWE chooses overkill and puts on a Fatal Five Way match and burns through all the contenders on one show.

Tommy End is a cool chillbro, who cares if he didn't bury WWE on his way out. He's probably pretty financially secure and we're three months out from seeing him somewhere he can fulfill his potential. That's what's important. The entire wrestling world is his oyster, why waste time being bitter about garbage WWE people.

Kross anywhere else in the world would be at least mildly interesting. It's because he's in WWE where they have no idea how to play to a wrestler's strengths. They're running a test on how Kross would fare without Scarlett, an integral part of his act. They're loving morons that don't have a clue about wrestling, storytelling or basic entertainment. All WWE matches would be better anywhere else. All WWE wrestlers would be better anywhere else.

For anybody that cares, NXT UK is leaning towards WALTER v Ilja Dragunov II.

But when it fails to get over with fans it's going to end up not being over with Vince either. It's pretty much doomed to fail.

Or if it does get over with fans, Vince will pull the plug on it anyway because he got over without permission!

He isn’t talent though. He can’t wrestle, can’t play or sing, can’t entertain, the mistake was hiring him not burying him or leaving him off TV, that’s them making a rare correct choice.

Elias is a pretty entertaining low/mid card dipshit heel. He's not great, but it is WWE that is the problem. They make everyone look a hundred times worse than they actually are.

AEW has subtlety and nuance in their storylines. Also, wrestlers who are part of a stable are allowed to be friends with wrestlers who are not part of the stable. Anna/Tay, Hanger/D.O, Sammy/Fuego, Cole/Fish. I'm sure the average E fan can't wrap their head around that.

Nash owns, he started a union and conned idiot Vince into giving him a year long title reign and then conned idiot WCW into paying him an his best friend an obscene fortune for doing the bare minimum.

Having a yearly PPV with the Chamber as the focus hasn't helped. The first couple were fun, but it should have been a HIAC tier match, only happening once every 18 months.

WWE used to treat Ladder matches the same. After the Shaw/Razor one in 95, the next was HHH/Rock in 98.
