  1. Initial thoughts on LBOA:
     

    Spoiler

    -That cage Ellering was suspended in looked really rickety. I would've been terrified if I was in that thing.

    -One huge pet peeve of mine is when a match between guys who are in a blood feud begins with a lockup. I didn't like it in Magnum/Tully, and I didn't like it here.

    -I also wasn't a huge fan of Sawyer working an armbar in the opening minutes. But Rich breaks it by going low and from that point on, it's basically all punches and ramming each other's heads into the cage, which is exactly what I want from a match like this.

    -I liked how they started a ten-count whenever both guys were laid out. It got over the brutality of the match while forcing them to keep things moving. In fact, I totally would've bought passing out from blood loss as a finish because they both bled buckets.

    -I was a bit worried when I saw that the video was 28:53. Matches like this shouldn't be anywhere near that long. So I was pleasantly surprised when the match ended at 13:00 (the rest of the video is Ole/Ellering which took place immediately afterward). It ended up being the perfect length.

    -Really good match overall. On first blush, I'd rank it behind Duggan/DiBiase among 80s cage matches but ahead of Final Conflict, Magnum/Tully, and Lawler/Idol.

    That Slater/Rhyno segment was like an episode of Trailer Park Boys (which would be a great tag team name for them also). 

    If the tag team tournament doesn't work out for Slater, he can try to come back under a mask.

    "Heath Slater? Who's Heath Slater? I'm the fuckin' Green Bastard, parts unknown baby!"

    It's the Christian paradox. His character works better as a heel but his ringwork is better as a face. There's been other examples but that's a super notable one.

    That's how I've felt about CM Punk for the past few years.

    Like, seriously, other contenders for top 5 tag team in WWF/E history, based on ring work....

    The Rockers (Clear and Far Away No.1)

    MNM (They ruled)

    Hardy Boys (Been in enough classics to be in the discussion)

    London and Kendrick (Only a one year run, but it was great)

    Rhodes Brothers (Another short run, but it was great)

     

    Anyone else wanna throw in some names?

    Hart Foundation? British Bulldogs? Dream Team? Brainbusters?

  5. I'm prepared to say that Cena is the worst big match worker in the company, if not all of wrestling. He's become Davey Richards in jorts.

    The truth is, WWE main event style has become unsustainable. The only way they have of keeping the audience's attention outside of reversals and kick-outs of finishers is with holy-shit spots, so you end up with injuries like Sasha's tonight. They need to figure out a way to put the genie back in the bottle.

    Don't worry guys, they love to humiliate Dolph so he'll probably lose the title shot to MVP before SummerSlam.

    I could actually see them doing this, except with Shelton Benjamin.
