Not sure offhand though I want to say yes. They generally keep the announce teams brand specific so if his brand was the final match then he likely called it like last night.

It was a Raw match. Cole and Graves weren't going to call it in the first place.

Andrade/Apollo was solid. Owens on commentary was fun. Triple threat tag titles match was solid. Glad Bayley and Sasha retained. This might be the best match the IIconics have had on the main roster so far. Braun vs. Miz & Morrison was about what I expected. It was entertaining at moments, but I'm never super big on handicap matches. Asuka/Nia was good up until the bs finish. I can dig a double count out when done well. This was not and made no sense to do on a ppv. Drew/Lashley was the first time I had watched and paid attention to a match of either guy in months. Thought it was pretty nice outside of a botch or two that Drew was lucky didn't end worse. MVP as Lashley's corner man shouting instructions was great . The finish was the expected bs with Lana. I have no idea what the fuck the Profts/Raiders brawl was supposed to be. It was just so damn random, ridiculous, an just had no reason for existing on this show. I'm kind of pissed it pushed Apollo/Andrade to the kick off show. That was some straight bull shit. Orton/Edge got a bit overkill at times in the last 7 minutes or so, but was ultimately pretty damn good. Its easily the best match Orton has had since was fighting Christian and Henry on Smackdown years ago. The biggest knock against this was the dumbass editing adding crowd noise. It was just so moronic and took away from an otherwise fine match. This was not a good show. I think the talent gave the effort, but the booking was just dumb for around half of it.

For reasons I'm not quite sure of I see they decided to take the longest, and arguably hardest, strike and turn it into a Nightfall Ordeal w/o any thoughts to maybe adjust the time settings so you can actually come out with a decent score. Even w/o being a Nightfall, the Corrupted tends to run long so I'm not sure why they thought this was a good idea.

This episode felt light with Styles/Bryan taking up a third of the show. Also probably helped that I skipped the Jeff/Sheamus opener.

yep, me leaving the Thanatos off currently is just laziness.

That is a pity. I loved so many of his creations.

Please quit making the board member who took 4 years of Latin sad. Admittedly I have forgotten so much and was more focused on mythology for competitions, but I would like think those times weren't a complete waste. Actually the Latin teacher I had was probably my favorite teacher.

I think its more about the confusion and language used to describe it.

I haven't played Uncharted Lost Legacy yet, but isn't that more or less a spin-off labeled an expansion? Like you don't even need 4 installed to play, and it's basically another game?

Just finished. Most of the games look interesting at the very least, but he only one I'm actively excited for is Horizon 2. And this was another reminder that I still need to finish the first game. PS5 was always going to be something I picked up, but never at launch so nothing is really changing for me.

Weren't they originally planning to skip E3?

I have never heard this one. When did he say this? The only similar thing I recall hearing about was Steph wanting to unmask Ultimo Dragon because she thought he was too good looking during his stint in WWE.

So yeah they at least aren't killing her. It is interesting to note that most of the replies are pissed they aren't just recasting.

Also worth mentioning that he has popped up on Kana's youtube channel a couple of times. Even cooked takoyaki for her.

Lee/Yim vs. Gargano/LaRae was actually fun while it lasted. The backstage stuff with Grimes was the most I have enjoyed Grimes since he came to NXT. He was a wonderful sleazy asshole. Lived him trying to get out the Balor match. Dakota/Kacy was fun. Was nice to see Kayden try to make the save and even have some success before Raquel destroyed her. Fantasma revealing himself as Santos Escobar was neat. UE vs. Lumis was amusing at times. I did love a supposedly knocked out Lumis coming alive to choke out Cole.

He went from a gentleman to dastardly asshole initially when he turned heel a couple of years ago. Not sure what the hell happened this past year or so with the new tattoo and look. Those are sadly very likely more on him. So what they did with the Hollys when they were super heavyweights? What is weird with Thorne is that were building a new tag team on Raw with him and another former TMDK member, Brendan Vink, only to stop doing anything with them randomly. It even looked like MVP was going to manage them.

Hmmm, I'm starting to think Edge might realize he and Orton are being ribbed with this tag line.

She did that thing regularly enough that it has an actual name? Wow. At some point I probably should check out more of 90s Chigusa.

Don't want to spoil anything but a lot of the stuff you are curious about does get addressed in the next 6 show or so to follow.

I was just curious because my mom used to work there before she passed in 2011 (would have retired at the end of the year). I never heard the management story you mentioned, and I think she was technically management by the time she passed/was retiring. I was curious on how legit that story for Armageddon is. Wondering if she had to do the same.

Isn't that like maybe 4 women?

Agreed. Charlotte does a lot well, but the moonsault is not one of those things.

Thought this was an interesting thread going over the funeral. Apparently the wrestler Fuminori Abe is a legit Buddhist Priest and performed the ceremony.

They really need to offer better deals than that. The last fall expansion was really not enough to justify that price, and after the crap they did this year in general they should have lowered prices somewhat just to get back in fans' good graces. That was the firts thing I noticed when I had access to the map again. Looks like all the new weapons are only available via Contact, the season pass, and the new dungeon. Got the Trinity Ghoul catalyst via a strike so that is available now. I apparently missed that Felwinter's Lie was only available for last season so I am SOL for getting that weapon now. I'm honestly more annoyed for missing the story content. Considering the requirements maybe they should have considered not making the 1000 kills part a part of the quest because that shit was pretty damn off putting with Destiny at it's lowest interest wise.
