Interesting. I've had zero buffering issues on the preshow. But couldn't go about 90 seconds on Armageddon '05 earlier without buffering. -
I hope people would feel the same way, but I'd be shocked. I think part of what people enjoy about the NXT women's matches is just how different it is. Yes, they're women, which is different from basically every match of consequence we're accustomed to domestically. Its also completely different from how women's matches have been presented for years, so what we get here feels incredibly fresh and unique. My point is its not solely because they're women and we've got a bunch of feminists here, but that it doesn't look at all like what we're used to seeing in good wrestling matches. You get a match like Lesnar-Reigns at Mania this year where there was legit and not insignificant blood -- this added immensely to the match because its been years since it was used that way. Back when blood was a regular thing it simply wouldn't add the same intensity and lock you in because you were seeing it regularly. Give us something we haven't seen that hasn't been desensitized, and if you present it decently it will get over. Variety is huge. Give us a solid 15 minute divas match on TV every week and pretty soon the standards will change to reflect that.

There is no such thing as two main events. Its great to push things on an equal footing and attempt to portray them that way. But only one match is the main event. I say that watching the main event, thinking its having a tough time matching up to the emotion of the women's match. But there is only a main event.

No Japanese teams? Or have you just not seen them?

Probably not, but if the standard are 3 of the 5 or 10 best ever and another who's not far off, then almost every wrestler ever fails in comparison. Yes, I think his matches with Suzuki in 2012, a few with Okada and the G1 final with Nakamura are leaps and bounds better than any of these.

Echo this. I've yet to find the Young Bucks that isn't fun. I'm a Bucks fan, too, but I am mostly an unabashed PWG mark. I can't say I have loved them in ROH nearly as much. Strongly agree with PWG Bucks > ROH Bucks (not that I don't enjoy the latter). But I also enjoy what they bring to the NJPW undercard every time out. They've got a distinct place on the show there that's a nice contrast from everything else going on and the matches are always entertaining for that style.

Side question -- who will be your highest female worker and how high? I imagine it'll be Bull for me and can't imagine lower than top third, but haven't yet wrapped my head around how to rank them.

Why can't Ambrose turn but not be associated with Wyatt?

Is a reigns turn this weekend possible?

There are shoot style guys like Volk Han who probably had less matches total than Jose has on tape that people still seem to be really high on voting for so it's not like there's no precedent. Don't we have most of Han's work on tape though? Or close? I think there's a huge difference where a small sample of matches represents a fraction of someone's output as opposed to a majority of it.
