Weird question about NXT but somewhat appropriate since they need people. Drake Younger took the ref gig because when he tried out they apparently told him they already had enough talented guys his size. Now that NXT is going to need more workers, would he transition back to the ring or is he cool with reffing from now on?

Casaro's UFO was mentioned in another thread, so...

Moments after that picture was taken, the mascot turned on Sting.

Probably a worse scam than Komen. Nice.

It would be fairly amazing if SmackDown, with their first pick, took Samoa Joe or Nakamura.
I think it'll be Tiger Woods

Wyatts are gonna be seperated. Wyatt and Rowan probably going one way, Strowman the other.
Remember during the original brand split, how it was cool because talented guys who wouldn't normally get pushed to the top, like Rey & Eddie, got to shine on Smackdown? Well this is like the bizarro world of that, when Vince pet projects are pushed because "fuck it, it's just Smackdown."

That was Holly's fault anyway. He'd somehow convinced himself that, rather than being a JTTS who was employed to make the young talent look good (which he was), he was employed to stiff them, sandbag them, and teach them discipline and that they had to respect the business.
Blame Jim Ross.

what bothers me that he seamlessly transitions between submissions for little to no reason. Like I would get if a wrestler was struggling as he was trying lock something else or he went for something with more torque than the hold he on, but ZSJ just changes holds to sometimes less precarious holds and does so as a whim.
Yeah, this. All of this. I love PWG but I was dreading Sabre vs Strong. I sat through it because I'm a dumbass completist. You know it's bad when the inclusion of Roderick Strong is what makes a match better. For an excellent example of Sabre's ridiculous style, Sabre vs Scurll from last year's BOLA was just masturbatory King of Sport cosplay garbage. Between the floating between holds for no god damn good reason, as you mention, to getting out of holds with zero effort, it was just utter shit. I have literally developed an unfair aversion to "British Style" because of that match. Maybe Zach will tone it down for the CWC. I know it's sacrilege but this is one case where working more WWE style might actually help.
He's also crazy skinny, yet has a weirdly big head. I'm not a Vince McMahon level size queen at all but the dude is like the British Cheeseburger. His kneepad-less gear does him no favors, making him look like a Q-Tip.

Now I can't stop imagining Vince in his study on an old typewriter writing Reigns promos overstuffed with stilted verbiage and $10 words. "Nailed it, Vince. You still got it," he says to himself, reaching for a steak rollup and a bottle of ketchup.

Remember those brief 2-3 seconds when WWE was planning on teaming Shaul Guerrero with Baron Corbin?

That can't be real, right? It looks like a vacation advertisement.

I was about to say...isn't Ibushi part of that community that enjoys the matches of one Stylish Alan Jones?
Re: Lana and Rusev...they must have skipped the Performance Center seminar where they brought in an old timer to teach the kids "it's not what you make, it's what you save."

Fans get +1 for chanting "Ho...Ho Lun" in New Day cadence.
-1 for not chanting "Alejandroooo....ale-ale-jandro.....ale-ale-jandroooooooooo" at Saez.

No updates on Tyrell
He's alive. That's who was on the phone at the end of the episode. The caller said, "bonsoir, Elliott," which si what Tyrell said to Elliott a few times in season 1. And it was clearly his voice.
Good enough opener and I'm with you w/r/t the show going in directions you didn't expect.
Whenever a series premier or season opener is front loaded with the first two episodes, it's because someone thinks episode 1 isn't enough to hook new viewers. And they're usually right, as episode 1 is always heavier on table-setting than on flashy stuff. So good choice in that regard, USA.

Wow, what a good show. It came off as so spontaneous and fun since it wasn't overproduced like Raw. Bryan & Mauro were excellent and I didn't hear a single reference to a wrestler being "fun to watch." Amazing how well an announcer can do when they don't a geriatric loon in their ears yelling at them to use catchprases and $10 words at every turn.
I noticed the ring looked smaller and had wider turnbuckle pads. Good choice.

Vince is really tone deaf about race. This is a guy who claims MLK is an idol of is, yet booked a storyline (and storylines involving Vince are just his way of living out his fantasies, come on now) where he drooled over the possibility of having "bestial" sex with a black woman. Because sex with blacks is the same as fucking an animal, I suppose.

Does any of our older posters feel the Monday Night Wars burned them on wrestling?
In a way, because it made matches less special. I grew up on syndicated shows where the occasional midcarder vs midcarder main event was something unique and fun. I'd look forward to SNME and Mania like they were Christmas because that was the only time you'd get a bunch of matches with marquee guys. Also, the squashes served to build guys up.
The Monday Night Wars killed this dead because the competition between the companies forced them to put star vs star matches on free TV. And now, even though the war is long over, they still burn through prospective matches and nothing is special anymore. I've seen Owens vs Cesaro on free TV 3-4 times already and, while they're awesome wrestlers and I enjoy their matches, the bouts mean nothing. There's no build to the matches and nothing to get excited about.
So I'd say one very particular aspect of the wars -- the overexposure of big matches -- still has repercussions today and absolutely burned me out on WWE. I like Popeye's chicken but I don't want it every day.

Who could Steph get back for Cass? Not five guys but maybe 3.
Traded for multiple picks? Overrated and run into the ground by a petty, power mad GM? Oh shit dudes Cass is going to be the RG3 of this draft.

I just realized they just shoved U.S. wrestlers' pics wherever they could, unless Rich Swann moved from Baltimore to the middle of the California coast and Gargano left Cleveland for Colorado (not saying I'd blame either of them).

Holy fuck look at Taker's head bounce off the mat. I'm in pain just watching it. I'm fairly certain this was his last dropkick and he swore them off after that.

Is AJ Styles also only over because hipster indy fans demanded it or was he away from the indies long enough (his awful appearance at BOLA notwithstanding) that it doesn't count?

I forgot how addictive the non-storyline stuff is, just exploring, doing bounties, picking flowers for the survivalist stuff, dead-eye shooting dear in the head with a pistol, killing ambushers. I did one mission for McFarlane and then spent an hour assing off. More than any of the GTA games, the world in this one just feels real and is one you want to spend time in to see what random shit happens next.
