Partial Dominion thoughts -
Skimmed through the show this morning - really enjoying spending a bit more time with the matches I cared about. Haven't gotten through everything, but the main event was an all-time great. All of the finishing stuff at the end...damn, that was Flair-Steamboat slick there. IC Title match had the right result, and the heavyweight tag title match was about what it needed to be and the best match between the teams so far.

So who's the dude with the kid "driving"?
-
He was going to Japan anyway to visit Masa Saito one last time and figured "well, might as well have WWE pay for the trip" and did the match. It's very doubtful Brock got high six/seven figures for this - and if he did, good on him.

Loved Jericho-Neville - it was just what it needed to be. Divas title triple threat was a thing. BROCK-KOFI WAS PERFECT. Kofi took a great ass-kicking, but had enough from Kofi to where he didn't look like a total chump. Loved New Day being beaten up too - I now want Brock-Big E. Balor-Owens was just perfect. It had drama from beginning to end, and we got to see the WWE debut of BLOODY SUNDAY! "Fujiyami" celebration with Balor was nice. Glad to see Finn win it - they're doing everything right with him so far.

Silent rage like Big Andy or just RAGGGEEEEE like A-Ry? Anyway Streets of Rage could be involved?

Sabin is so nothing now in the ring - and he's been like that since 2013. He's in flea market mode with his training and overall look now. AJ Styles, however, FUCKING RULES.

The arm thing is just Davey making some weird bow and arrow gesture. King Cuerno can make it work - Davey can't.

Tag title match was good, but not quite great until the end. EC3 vs. Kurt had a big match feel, but wasn't as good as EC3 vs. Spud, which just seems wrong. KOs 3-way was fine, and the Jeff-Tenay interview was nothing. It wasn't even surface-level as they didn't even show him winning the KOTM Title. Still, this was a really easy show to sit through, and like how they set up Drew vs. the world for the elimination match that suddenly became a "this faction must end" match for some reason.

The opening was pretty good and at least entertaining throughout much of its 18 minutes. Miz was hilarious during Show-Mark, which was nothing. Ryback-Miz was nothing, and Paige beating Alicia via rollup was whatever. Bellas are now back as heels this week after apparently being faces last week. AMAZING Cena-Cesaro match. Owens attacked them both, which was perfect. In one night, they've remade Cesaro...if they want to.
Lana and Dolph thiing was largely awful. Nice catfight between Lana and Summer though. Dean's homoerotic promo with Roman backstage was amusing. Neville had a nothing match with Sheamus and lost. Swagger is now beneath Barrett. Fast action to start, but we get a POST-BREAK CHINLOCK of course. Heels won thanks to the numbers game, Dean jobbed, and Roman ate five billion moves and the show FINALLY ended with a Sister Abigail.

Boy was the first third of this show just stuff. KOs match had Kong do more than she has since returning, and was a fine ass showcase at points. Storm vs. Magnus was a video game hardcore match using real people, who I sure hope got paid tonight. Aries-Davey wasn't much.
Tyrus and EC3's tag was an SD mid-show main event, but with Brodus Clay, who is fatter and more jiggly than Homer Simpson now. KOTM was a cluster, but ended with a crazy EY piledriver on a ladder to Jarrett - who probably shouldn't be doing that at nearly 50, and the show itself concluded with a feel-good moment for Jeff and his family celebrating. Weird show.

ROH sale is still ongoing - the only 2010 release still available is the Civil War show, which I went to. It's amazing to see Tyler Black go from wrestling in this giant tin tool shed to being WWE Champion in five years.
-
No chicks' asses, also? This thread is awful. Just awful.
There weren't any on display this week, sadly. Taryn's breasts were shining brightly though.
-
God, The Rising sure wound up being possibly worse than the TNA Front Line. Why should they disband? If they're pro wrestling's version of warriors standing up for justice, shouldn't that cause extend beyond "these three men team up because..."?

THIS! SHOW RULED! THIS! SHOW RULED!
ROH was an unbelievably fun show. I loved the opener and the main event so very much. Nothing here was a classic, but it was all very rewatchable and a riot. The Young Bucks are to the new 10s what the Midnights were for the '80s. They're one of the best teams of all time and easily the best of their generation.

What a crazy newsworthy day for TNA. Sadly, it didn't result in much build for the PPV. Jeff's return was both surprising in nature, but unspririsng given the GFW/TNA mergery rumors that have been going on for the last couple days. Heels vs. Wolves was really good, but nothing amazing. Ditto everything else. Uno won the green X Title...good for him. There wasn't much to the Angle-Hardy match, and Jeff Jarrett's in a king of the mountain match for some sort of goal to close out his TNA career.

Raw was three hours of things with a handful of highlights. Anything involving Brock and Heyman NOT IN CLIP FORM. Kofi's clap to the ring. Goofiness of the Roman mouth and eye cutouts during the Bray stalking segment. Owens-Cena stuff. Closing stuff was a lot of fun overall, but went on forever.

They didn't get a new belt - they just did a shitty repaint of the blue on the existing one.

Fun show despite nothing really amazing in-ring. AWFUL job with Magnus-Storm. They tease MAGNUS'S SON BEING THROWN OFF THE STAGE and just cut away from it the second it's revealed as a ruse. There's no outrage, they just went to the commentators talking in the studio. EC3-Lashley was okay, but didn't make EC3 look all that dominant. Lashley should either have something worthwhile to do in TNA or just focus on MMA - having him show up randomly is a waste of his skill and risks his MMA career for nothing. EY-Melendez was a thing. Ditto the Dolls tag. The Dusty tribute to start the show was fantastic. LOVED the return of Joseph Park, who lost his lawfirm and all of his money thanks to investing in Tout.

I loved the Dusty tribute again, and the Seth promo. Dean vs. Sheamus was nothing, and weird given that Dean just suddenly stopped his protest due to Sheamus being named a random opponent. Great Dusty-Harley vid - more of that filmed '70s stuff should be out there. Truth beat Barrett. Fucking hell. Dolph came out to accept Kevin's NXT Title challenge - Kevin now wants Cena's US Title.
I enjoyed Owens-Dolph, although it's crazy how big bumps are on the app while chinlocks are on TV. Paige stuff sucked. Kane vs. Orton sucked. Roman and Bray exchanging words was boring and creepy. LOVED OWENS KILLING MGK! So so so great. PTPs and Neville vs. New Day was a thing. The closing with Brock wasn't bad, but it was a bit underwhelming - even with Brock just scaring him shitless by standing around and doing little things.

Truth-Barrett was a waste of time. Loved the Dusty tribute - WWE absolutely shouldn't have had Renee even trying to do work when she was in tears. That was tough. Loved them having a Dusty tribute to start the show, although cutting off his theme for the MITB video sucked. Divas title match was a blend of good in-ring with bad booking and fine fanservice. Finish was unbelievably stupid though. Should've been a DQ after the clear interference, but whatever. LOLed @ Ryback's armbar, and the finish as it sets up Miz as being the one guy in WWE with a brain.
Cena vs. Owens was batshit crazy on several levels and a ton of fun. Title match was structurally fine, but I'd have kept the belts on New Day. At least Titus is really good as the hot tag guy - he is a highlight of their matches in the ring. WWE Title match was a crazy collection of spots with a new finish - not exactly a good finish, but one that protected Dean to some degree. Time for Dean to go on a lunatic binge.
