broke

I forgot that Jericho ran over Wade's Dog back in 1999. Or was that Sean Waltman's dog?

I'll give full credit to Shayna for continuing to sell the ribs well after the final match ended. Considering the confrontations throughout the tournament there's no way this does not result in Shayna, Rousey and co. jumping the WWE Horsewomen within 2 weeks on RAW.

If it helps any Rachel looks better in round 2. With her bottom rope twisting legdrop thing she's shown more agility using it twice than Precious Paul had in both his Memphis and Mid South runs.

Danny Burch actually gets a bit of an angle! That made my day. Really good match between Ember and Ruby. Not a bad show at all.

Norton's a guy I've come to appreciate over the years. I think they could have done a lot more with Vicious and Delicious.

HOG was definitely carryable. Not a great worker by any stretch but he was legitimately strong. Tex couldn't really work to save his life but the guy was all personality outside the ring. I've had beers with him a couple times - funny as all hell. I think he would have been a hoot as a colour guy making weird observations on WCW Worldwide.

I'd venture that Alpha was brought up to be the aces of the Smackdown tag division, and after a few weeks somebody realized exactly what Truth posted above. Good tag team, remarkable athletes, but put Alpha in there against Ascension or Vaudevillains and it's just not the same as what they had with the Revival. By contrast, I'd argue you could plug in almost any other team into a program with the Revival and they would leave the program more over than when they went in.

Glad to see Danny Burch finally get some shine. The guy's still far too talented to just be squash fodder. Ciampa's still going to get cheered by some of the crowd no matter what he does or how hard he turns on them.

I'd argue Asuka has been a "heel" since beating Bailey. I know he's never getting a push in NXT, but I'm a fan of Danny Burch. Find him a tag partner, let them do a football chant or something before the match, the smark crowd would probably pop for it.

Gonna have to do a marathon viewing this weekend. I liked what little I saw of Danny Burch in nxt.

TJP got mega mainstream coverage back in the Philippines. If WWE plans to tour that part of Asia this gives them another name to push. If nothing else he can turn heel in a few months after Tony Nese wins the belt and give him a Duterte gimmick of calling his opponents sons of whores.

I thought Slater looked pretty good in defeat (generic appearance aside), which is probably how you want to keep things with a tournament like this. Probably hurt that the crowd only wanted to pop for Tajiri's signature spots. Full marks to Ranallo for sneaking a Slick reference in during Johnson's entrance.

His prime was a bit before my time as a fan but I always thought he was a very good promo right up until the end.

Alexa's got the body language down pat for a bitchy heel. Hopefully all 3 are able to grow while in developmental (now there's an idea......)
