I agree! They didn't have a lot of natural chemistry but both guys gutted out a good match through pure force of will.

yeah it was obvious they had "bad chemistry" or whatever but both guys are so good that it worked out entertainingly anyway

my biggest takeaway from THE FOOTAGE is that Paul Turner is a badass because he got right in the middle of that faster than Samoa Joe

oh also I think Mariah is elevating the women's division pretty significantly, Anna looked fantastic tonight. also the toni/rosa segment into mariah's entrance was perfect, no notes

mariah is good and I think toni and mina shirakawa arent doing enough, everyone on the roster and crew should take turns kissing her and saying thanks

This show was good because it had everything that makes wrestling good: luchadors in cool outfits, old men doing gnarly poo poo, violence, drama, blood, people getting hit with foreign objects, sex, a guy with a lot of money, hyped up people screaming at the camera, and really loud chops. It was pro wrestling at its purest.

FTR promo kind of sold the whole airing of the video for me. Was a good “we all saw it, it’s loving done, let’s move on, we’ll be the future of this company if the Bucks don’t want to be” stamp on things. The video never has to be referenced again and the feud can just be about two teams wanting to be the best and gently caress each other up.

This is the main thing that makes everyone freaking out about this look like a dunce, to me. I can fathom the idea that you think airing the footage was a bad idea or counterproductive, but also they immediately followed it by having the good guys come out and cut a WE WANT TO MOVE ON AND FOCUS ON EVERYTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS COMPANY!! promo. That's the end of it! If you are tired of Punk stuff, that was the show telling you that's a normal feeling to have and they're not going to dwell on it

No, I think Punk was stuttering and stammering that he is a tough mma guy and he will totally beat Jack Perry up but then he had a hug with his new pal

Yeah. It didn't work for in terms of getting me fired up for the match (because I'm just not excited by FTR these days), but it was really good at giving them a coherent motivation moving forward and it established that that era of the company is over*.

*Until Jack Perry comes back and the Bucks applaud him as their perfect little Californian golden boy, but you don't have to allude to Punk during that. Call it burying the hatchet.

Yeah, I mean it went down exactly as Jack's side said it. Like you can literally take Alvarez's audio put it on the cam footage and it's basically it

Though, I didn't see a pie face there but maybe it got obscured and that's Jack's side describing it too.
