Sky Blue Sam

Thanks man. What a day. The last 14 months under Mark Robins have been tremendous. Big Checkatrade Trophy win, built a really great squad, got promoted with a big Wembley day out at first time of asking. He's a national (well, Coventrian) treasure.

Nixon feels like a lock to do well in this. You've got the whole "injury redemption" angle, which they've already played up on WWE.com, and they've already got her working the bulk of the recent house shows

I'm down for them to repeat the simultaneous low blow, both fall to the floor, and have the MitB holder run in, cash their briefcase in and stand there proudly as the ref counted both men to 10, giving him the title

The best choice for Nakamura's manager would be to find where Jamison is nowadays, and have him each week whining to Paige about how Nak should be champion. "You aren't using him correctly. Have you not seen his New Japan stuff? Of course he isn't putting in much effort when he's stuck facing the likes of Jinder every week"

Danny Burch has signed a full time NXT contract, announced it at his farewell Beyond show last night. Hopefully this means they'll do something more with the Lorcan team that I don't think has won a match yet

Given that this is a rare PPV airing at a sensible time in the UK, I would watch this...if I wasn't going to be watching Jeff Cobb take on Chris Ridgeway at a show in Coventry at the same time.

His first week on 205 Live saw him booked as a heel, citing people judging him due to his skin colour, before they thankfully wised up and made him a face the next week.

To be fair, Nia/Alexa has a year of back story to it, and at some point you have to give the overpowering force of the division a featured match. I'm assuming/hoping that Bayley/Sasha spend most of the battle royal fighting, and end up being eliminated at the same time as the final elimination by the eventual winner

Dar/Alexander on the third episode is really great, and it's driven more by Dar than Cedric

There is nothing non-Goldust related in Cody's career as good as the saga of Disco's complicated submission hold

This was my first thought too. Best friends vs best friends (you can run the footage of Bryan comforting Kendrick during the CWC), don't lose any aura when the crowd totally ignores them for Bryan, can be FIP to build to the huge Bryan hot tag, plus it's a nice "thank you" for Itami smashing his face in.

Bull was the NYWC champion for most of last year, had a surprisingly fun defence against Scott Norton in that run. Sadly, also had a painful comedy match with Joey Ryan that's one of the worst matches I've ever seen

I think you'd run the risk of the crowd realising "Oh shit, he's bumping. They're going to let him wrestle again" and not reacting as viscerally to the heels. This way, you get the rollercoaster of emotions, where the fact the audience were so happy only intensifies their rage

Seth Rollins stays in the back with his briefcase where he belongs

You honestly couldn't make up this shambles regarding the "Reigns steroids" fiasco. Did Johnny Bravo ever use the word "Roman" in his statements, because if this was intentional, it's the most hilarious hustle ever

It's worth noting that, when you look at the biggest factions in wrestling history, Jarrett has been a member of the NWO, the Horsemen, the Bullet Club and of course Planet Jarrett. This also finally puts to rest the "Vince hates Jarrett" talk that's been going round for years. No doubt that there was some animosity straight after Jarrett left, but it was long ago reported (and confirmed by JJ) that Vince rang Jarrett after Jill Jarrett's death so there must have been some level of cordiality between them. Jarrett never demanded extra money from Vince for the Chyna match, just what he was owed up front, so there was always the possibility of this day coming.

The best part was that Henry was defending the American flag and, when Rusev forced him to tap to the Accolade, Henry produced a tear before submitting

Oney Lorcan and Lio Rush, for starters

I've never understood the hubbub about Chyna getting in. For me the issue has never been that she made some porn films, so much as the content of the films. If I'm a petty millionaire who runs a vanity Hall of Fame for my company, and a disgruntled ex-employee makes a porn film featuring versions of me, my daughter and my son-in-law, then I'm probably going to put Jeff Jarrett, Tekno Team 2000 and Kwang into my HoF before Chyna.

Both guys obviously getting rewarded for their stellar performances in the Rumble of nearly three minutes combined, plus their superlative non-placed rankings in the Smackdown top 10

Apparently Aldis is defending the title at Coventry Pro Wrestling as part of his UK tour. I'm not opposed to Aldis as champion, but having your belt defended at only the 2nd biggest company in Cov doesn't exactly shine a spotlight on your title

I think it's a testament to how good Becky is that she constantly stays over despite being booked to be a bit of a loser. Her PPV record is pretty terrible, including losses to people like an untested Alexa and stale Natalya, yet she hasn't reached the level of crowd apathy that Bayley has, despite now being pretty much the #3 face on Smackdown

I remember Gotch did an interview where he said there was no heat on him for the Enzo injury, because everyone knew Enzo was a klutz.

Very pleased that the payoff to Ziggler forfeiting the US title was him coming out to no reaction and getting murked out within a few minutes. So, is the KFC Rumble going to go down as Ric Flair's retirement match?

I'm legitimately terrified Dolph will win. I keep trying to convince myself that his "leaving the belt in the ring" bit was to set up a big US title ladder match at WM, but there's a nagging doubt that he'll come out at 30 as a surprise and win the thing.
