  1. People are really shitting on the angle.  But think about it.  It wasn't bad timing, it was PERFECT timing.  That crowd was fucking bonkers like it rarely ever, ever is.  The shot right before the knee with the slow hand raises was insane.  Austin levels of over.  

  2. Really starting to like Scott Dawson, everything he does looks precise and crisp. He's probably lacking the cutting edge to be a singles act, but can see him being part of a great tag team on the main roster.Quite liked the look of Rawley, though think it was notable that Burch controlled the bulk of the match. From the sound of things, he's not been wrestling long so he probably needs help structuring things, but his energy and athleticism means he looks pretty carryable for now.

    Man, I am all over the Burch wagon right now.  Dude looks super great in the ring.  His own look is maybe a bit off for WWE TV, but the dude can really, really go.

  3. You know, I tried YA and it wasn't clicking for me. One of the most beautiful books I've ever read but it kept slipping to the bottom of my giant pile and eventually fell off :(

     

    Daredevil and Hawkeye are maybe the #1 and #2 books being published today.

     

    Do you even read, bro?  :)   just kidding, mostly.

     

    East of West smokes either of those and until then, those were the two I talked about most as well.

  4. People are talking about the Joe match like it WASN'T a garbage match.  He landed on his fucking head multiple times, he bladed gushers.   It WAS a deathmatch without gimmicks in the ring.  And as for Drake Younger, he still makes his name being basically suicidal, even in PWG.  Ridiculous bumps, drops and dives.  To me taking the risks he does is no different then being hit by lighttubes.

     

    Let's not distract ourselves from the FACT that these guys do NOT get booked for their wrestling ability.

    I feel like someone needs to go through and revisit Jimmy Hart's entire run as WCWSN booker.

     

    WCWSN was really strong when he was booking.  He would take a handful of the decent guys he could book (Benoit, luchadors, Alex Wright, Disco, etc) and mix them with the Power Plant/development guys, which led to some pretty decent matches given some time.  This was why the "Natural Born Thrillers" came on the scene so strong when they were all repckaged and pushed. 

     

    Plus, Hart knew he was never gonna get any title matches on WCWSN, so he got control of the TV title, and he booked Duggan as an old-school tv champ that defended the title on tv each week, and they built feuds with guys like Fidel Sierra and Emory Hale over it.

     

    It was a consistently entertaining show when Nitro/Thunder were at their worst. 

     

    I always get the impression that guys would come up and ask for a match they wanted to be in, knowing it would be good.   Like Finlay saying he wanted to work Dandy and put on a show.

  6. I am thinking the Swagger match is as good as the Cesaro match.   Zayn is like the best at taking heat babyface in a long time.  Sells like crazy and sells "indy" style too, which connects better then the "WWE" style if you ask me.  The reaching out with a pleading look to fans, etc.  Love it.
