I think most people were well aware of how good Hart, Steamboat, and Savage were while they were active.

Pretty good show outside of the handicap match and the horribly booked Nattie/Nikki match. Alpha still aren't very over and to be honest they haven't set the world on fire on the main roster. I think that was a case of The Revival just being that fucking good. I liked Becky/Mickie and thought it was a good start to their feud. Cool moment for Naomi, but she doesn't do much for me. Harper made me like a Randy Orton match so that dude is pretty good. I don't know if a Harper babyface run has legs, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. Chamber match was good until the eliminations started with Corbin getting geeked out then doing the same shit Usos did to Alpha earlier. Cena dropping the belt to be moved to a possible midcard match while Bray faces Orton for the title doesn't have me very excited for Mania. Plus we may end up with Styles vs Shane; ugh. They vould really use Nakamura against AJ or Cena at Mania.

I love the Revival, and Dawson may be my favorite worker in the company but I don't know about them on the main roster. They are undersized and have a gimmick straight out of the mid 80's. They will win people over with their work if given the chance, but I'd feel better about it if Alpha(or any of the other face teams) were actually over.

Nikki Cross is my favorite in NXT right now. That slap she gave Wolfe after the main event cracked me up. Dane was quite impressive this week.

You mean independent contractors pal. I'd be pumped for Mania if we were getting Stroman/Brock and Roman/Joe instead of Brock and Roman against a couple of washed up 50 year olds.

So they're going to turn her to be the #3 heel behind the two women that just beat her? Makes no sense to me, and Nia or Charlotte turning face makes no sense. I think they need to trade Sasha to SDL for Becky or Nikki, and have her be the one to beat Alexa then Asuka comes up for the title feud with Sasha at Summer Slam.

Charlotte's "acting" took me out of the match. She's good on offense, but I think she kinda stinks at everything else.

The Rumble match was enjoyable until #30 came out. Stroman was the easy MVP of that match, and the first half was excellent. Cena winning #16 was actually a cool moment, but I'm beyond sick of the Big Match John style. Charlotte has joined Roman in having go away heat with me.

I went in thinking this would end up being better than it looked on paper. Everything delivered and I thought it was a fun show. I have to give a lot of credit to DIY for getting a good match out of AOP(to be fair AOP looked competent). Nak's selling really sold the angle and I thought it came off well. It'll be interesting to see if we get AJ/Nak at Mania as I can't imagine he'll be going after a third NXT title run.

I haven't watched Raw in months, and nothing I'm reading here makes me want to watch this show. I'm bummed that the cruisers have flopped so hard, but they way they introduced the division was terrible. Kendrick looked like the best worker in the company before being brought up to work the stale house style. Honestly AJ is about the only worker I'd go out of my way to watch on the main roster right now.

The Balor match could've been really good if Nak had bothered to sell the leg. My interest in NXT has plummeted over the last few months. I think they made a big mistake by not grooming Cedric Alexander to the next babyface ace of NXT.

I've completely checked out on Raw. A little over a year ago Sasha was my favorite act in the company, 6 months ago Bayley was, 6 weeks ago Kendrick was. Then they go to Raw and I don't give a shit. I'm starting to think they actually could make Nakamura just another guy.

The Aries and Strong tag match was a ton(no pun intended) of fun. There could be a lot of great matches in the near future in the tag division. Cross was over doing it a tad, but she'll figure it out. Billie and Peyton are great I just hope they don't get squashed by Asuka before they can build some momentum.

Ellsworth and Slater are so much better as top baby faces than Rollins and Reigns.

So a guy that was never known as a good promo takes 12 years off, and on day one of his return cuts a better baby face promo than the guys they have been pushing as their future baby face aces lol.

Well if they go on last after two other HIAC matches that just makes it more likely they'll try something stupid. Why couldn't they just have this be the only HIAC match on the card? It would feel much more special that way.

Pretty fun episode. Nak was great in that brawl, and totally came off like a baby face ace that could translate it to the main roster. Sanity was ok, I thought Moss looked pretty solid in his tag match. Peyton Royce in those tight pants though.

Man AJ's last second adjustment saved Ellsworth's life.

The booking for the triple threat sucked. They try and put over Ambrose as the wild crazy brawler yet he goes an entire no dq match without using a weapon. Sandman would've been cracking skulls from the opening bell(and his own before the bell).

Naomi has zero baby face charisma. I really liked her in Team Bad, but as a face she's just high spots. The fore arm of death should be Nikki's finish. I missed Harper's return due to Bray/Orton being so boring I had to turn it off.

Styles and Miz are the two best acts in WWE right now. I'm just imagining how good they could be if they actually faced people I gave a shit about.

Wasn't WWF doing shit business with those guys at the top of their cards? So yeah WCW deserves credit for taking them and making them bigger stars than Vince ever did. They also proved Vince wrong about Hogan being old news as he helped create a second wresting boom with his heel turn. Vince had the right idea, but may have jumped the gun by a few years.

SDL has been really good since the brand split. Besides the Bray Wyatt crap it has been a very well booked show. AJ is on an incredible roll on top, and the world title picture has been solid. I'll go as far to say the booking in the tag division has been perfect since the split. Miz is on an all time great heel run right now, and they've managed to get a really entertaining women's division out of a roster that doesn't look great on paper.

Swan's reaction gif also works in relation to those Matha pics.
