  1. Watching this match, you almost forget that their is a pandemic going on in this world. You got crowd brawling, spitting beer in the crowd, no social distancing whatsoever. However, it's entertaining. I get a kick out of Caristico's fat brothers. They have turned into lucha brawling machines. Also watched the Canek match from this show so @DEANdoesn't have to. Having a almost 70 year old man wrestle in that environment has to have broken some law.

    This is the most Monterrey goes to Memphis match i've seen a while. Except for a chain it's a weight belt. Lots of working the crowd. Dig Electo's new look.

  2. I think NXT right now is the best it's been since probably around 2017 or whenever Sami/Nakamura happened. Finn is a great champion who can have good matches with just about everyone. The midcard is loaded with lots of feuds and good personalities. The women's division is the best it's been since the Sasha/Bayley days. I'm looking forward to what they do when they move to Tuesdays.

    The invention of streaming every show on Youtube or IWTV has hurt my interest in Lucha and to an extent Indie wrestling. There was a time back in like 2017 when I was watching every AAA, CMLL, IWRG and Monterrey show on that was on the net. Plus the handhelds from guys like Black Terry Jr and it just became too much. I remember watching a random Friday CMLL card and just wondering " why am I watching this it means nothing?" Same thing happened with IWTV. I see so many shows to watch that look intriguing but it's just too much and I don't know where to start.  I get this is very first world problems.

  3. 10- Ever Rise WWE- This is probably cheating since it's two guys but love those dude. They don't get much ring time but they are always entertaining

    9- Eddie Colon- WWC: No crowd WWC is a tough watch but Eddie has been great since his return. Feuding with his brother and Cousin and beating up jobbers every week.

    8- Jey Uso- WWE: Been killing it on Smackdown with Roman. Every match he has is at least good

    7- Jon Moxley AEW- I liked him as Ambrose in WWE but his AEW run has been incredible. Glad he is with Kingston now

    6- Timothy Thatcher WWE- Been injured lately but his matches are must see. Especially the ones with Ciampa

    5- Eddie Kingston- AEW- Not much needs to be said. Incredible promo and good matches

    5- WALTER- So glad he's on the main NXT even if it's just for a a couple weeks

    4- Rey Fenix AEW- My favorite guy in AEW. Best flyer in the game

    3- Sheamus WWE- He just has one banger after another. Works incredibly stiff. Need him vs WALTER for the NXT uk title

    2- Daniel Bryan- WWE Continues to be great. This feud with Roman has reignited something in him

    1- Roman Reigns WWE- The best wrestler in the world IMO. The heel run is legendary.

  4. 1. Io Shirai- NXT. Not just the best woman in WWE but one of the best wrestlers in the world. I'm interested in how she's going to fair on the main roster after she loses at Takeover

    2 Sasha Banks WWE - The Bayley feud was great. Still a must see wrestler even when in the ring with Nia Jax and Tamina

    3: Bayley WWE: Even if she was the longest reigning Smackdown women's champion, she's still underrated

    4 - Tay Conti AEW _ I've been a fan since she first started in NXT. One of the few people that has benifited getting out of the WWE system that went to AEW. She gets better every week

    5. Dakota Kai NXT - Another must see every match wrestler. Great as a heel and a bayface.

    6 Thunder Rosa AEW/NWA - The Britt Baker feud has been real good but I enjoyed the match with Priscilla Kelly better. She's awesome and should beat Shida for the title

    7- Asuka WWE- Bad booking has hurt her some but she's still great. I have hopes for the Ripley match

    8  Britt Baker AEW- Great character and good in the ring.

    9- Reina Gonzalez NXT- Probably the most improved in NXT.

    10- Shotzi Blackhart NXT- Her matches aren't always great but I love her character and her feud with Robert Stone was the best thing in NXT for a few months.

  5. Never thought I would see Pro Wrestling Diana footage on WWE tv but here we are. Excited to see Sarray finally after hearing so much about her.

    So glad WALTER is back. Who knows for how long but I hope they do the WALTER/Finn match while he's here.

    Main event kinda fell apart after the Danny injury but I'm glad they Finn and Kross didn't win like I feared.

  6. Robert Stone breaking out in hives over Shotzi and her tahnk continues to be the best story in NXT.

    Tag title match was disappointing especially the finish. I hope this doesn't lead to a NXT women's tag titles but I'm guessing that's what happens.

    Next week's episode is loaded with Cole/Balor and IO/Toni.

  7. IWA Puerto Rico returned with it's first "match" since the pandemic started with Mr. Big vs Noel Rodriguez. I put match in quotes because there is no ref and it's just a brawl that goes all through a Puerto Rican junkyard. Lots of bumps into tires and cars. Sadly no blood but a legit Junkyard Dog gets involved.

    Quick question for anyone who was around at the time:

    What promotions other than GWF and AWA aired on ESPN? Ive found a few sources online saying USWA and WCCW but mostly just reddit threads, nothing too concrete.

    Herb Abrams UWF did for a while on ESPN classic. And I swear I remember mid south airing on the channel on Saturday mornings back in the early 2000s

  9. Started watching Mister Mayor on NBC cause I like Ted Danson. It's not horrible but feels like a Parks knockoff show. Holly Hunter is funny as Ted's righthand person. He gets into shenanigans and she has to clean it up. Lot of cameos too since it's a Tina Fey show.

    I'm also watching NCIS New Orleans. It's interesting how they are doing it based on COVID.  Still a fan of the show but they probably should have ended when LaSalle got killed off.

  10. The first week of the Le Batard free shows were interesting. First you had "drunk" Dan on air and then Dan going crazy after the Capitol riots. Looking forward to where this Skipper thing goes. I'm guessing the route of a Dan Patrick type deal. I wonder who else jumps ship to join Dan down the road.

    I think most would find that in poor taste, and rightfully so. I would think a sincere tribute would be on a show that featured most of his friends, like Smackdown. Are there even many currently featured on NXT that were close Brodie in the indies/Harper in WWE?

    Breeze, Fandango, all the Undisputed Era guys, Gargano, Ciampa etc. Probably more i'm forgetting

    Tonight's show was good. Dunne/Roddy and the main was good stuff. I also liked the Kyle promo and the backstory video to Rhea/Raquel. I hope with Metalik and Lince coming in to feud with the Legado guys that they stay around. Probably in just for the Dusty Classic in two weeks I would guess.

  12. So is this Shawn Spears leaving AEW worked shoot angle going to lead him to going to IMPACT? That's the gist that I get from it. Spears vs Callahan sounds like absolute hell.  Send Marko there too while you are at it Kenny.

  13. Ciampa vs Thatcher in a FIGHT PIT is going to rule. Some good stuff tonight between the tag title match, Rust Taylor with BIVENS and a real good Jake Atlas vs Swerve Scott match. Sad to see the Dream back but he'll be gone again soon i'm sure.

    Best part of the night was the Way Christmas stuff. Gargano was on fire all night between giving Indi her new name with a empty PS5 box and the incredible No Way Jose burn. I almost want to see Jose return and beat Johnny up next week when he faces Leon Ruff.
