I agree Nakamura is coasting but Corbin is just awful. I don't get what they see in the guy at all.

I mean, when you get the opportunity, I know some other matches you couls watch... At this rate, with NWAonDemand down, i'm going to have to lose bets just to figure out what to watch. I'll have both of yours watched/written up by the end of this week barring disaster. I'm running casual and noteless tonight. (which means I'm not writing up this Bate/Dunne one either, though I will say that I love how into everything Dunne is. Surly teenager isn't necessarily a hard character, but the commitment is charming). Try the Stardom streaming service. Lots of content and it's broken up into matches.

You may very well be out of touch! But there is very much zero interest in this show. I'm hoping that along with my super low expectations lead to a pleasantly surprising evening. Not holding my breath. True... the answer could be both! They couldn't sell the show out in Philly and were even offering good discounts on seats.

There seems to be very little interest in this PPV.

It feels like the Smackdown roster is paper thin right now and I'm just not down for another show of all heels winning. I think Usos/New Day will be good and I think Cena/Rusev could be really good as well. I expect Orton/Mahal to be an absolute pile of garbage.

I'm sure it will be the usual decent wrestling with shitty finishes and booking.

I also expect to see another show where it's all heels winning again minus a token win for Cena and Charlotte.

It's amazing that guys get blamed for circumstances that aren't there fault and never get a chance on top again but man, Randy Orton gets the ball every other year it seems and just fails in spectacular fashion. If it was a sane company and he wasn't a HHH guy, he wouldn't be seen as a viable main eventer after this. Just an awful program. Mahal is also an absolute dogshit champion and he has to be one of the lowest points for the WWE Title on a historical basis. I've also seen some commentators that live in India say they aren't going to make money there. No one is going to buy the network because it's too expensive and no one is going to be merchandise because you can get bootlegs for 10% of the cost.

I was shocked when I got All Japan TV from 1984 and realized Magic Dragon was an actual wrestler from Japan. I always assumed it was just some jobber they put a mask on.

Let's also add, run a place that isn't in the ghetto.

There's a guy that used to be on Opie and Anthony called Dr. Steve. He does a medical podcast and in the late 70s worked on the TV crew for Mid-Atlantic TV.

Yeah. You can be second row and pay second row prices and be further from the ring than someone that paid a lot less. The ring is also in a pit and if you're not balcony it's hard to see.

Also, if you're a promoter and use a venue that has standing room only areas, you should be punched in the face.

And of course RoH wants NXT prices for the show in a venue where $75 gets you second row at a super shitty angle where you can barely see anything. Pass.

If you go solo you can usually find a ticket later. I know the last NXT in Columbus you could find tickets weeks later which was a first.

That's why I stopped going to NXT here. You have to sit there and jump on tickets the second they go on sale if you don't want to pay almost $100 for one.

In fairness to both of them. They had probably been up all weekend doing the Coke that was in her bag.

I've been dying for them to do more mixed promotion sets. I've been running a promotion with all the indy sets crammed together in a giant promotion. It works really well when you cycle talent in and out.

I liked his first heel run against Misterio quite a bit. I still don't know why they had him lose at Mania. He really lost all of his momentum with that loss.

They should just go the most absurd route and bring up KENTA as the other son and feud him with Jordan over daddy Angle's love.

I don't remember hearing much until they released him.

Can we just use the funeral they did for the Dudleys on one of the early Impacts? I can't think of anything more fitting.

I kind of get why people keep making the mistake of trying to use Alberto as a center piece. He should be a star in theory. Good look, good talker, gimmick is solid and his inring work is above average. If you listed all of his qualities in paper we'd all think he was good. It's when you put it all into practice that you get the boring lump of nothing that Alberto is most nights.

This is all a plot to hire Rhaka Khan for the women's division.
