Why the FUCK does the ring announcer keep telling an empty building to "please welcome" someone????  This makes me want to punch things.

They're talking to you the viewer at home. Duh. THE UNIVERSE~!

Andrade/Garza make a hell of a tag team. I wouldn't mind seeing them go farther and win the tag titles down the line before the big breakup. Garza/Chuck vs Zelina/Andrade is going to be great.

Promos need to be conducted in empty arenas from now on. Such an improvement. Orton's was outstanding.

It's probably a Vince thing on one of his lists. DO say this. DON'T say that.

I tried to watch most of this show. The one part that cracked me up was Alister's match. When he hit the kick on that poor kid, the referee's facial expressions were amazing. The ref was like DAMN.

So I guess a prefilmed match will get around Taker's limitations. It's amazing how a 42 year old AJ Styles is the young guy in this match.

I thought this episode showed some encouraging signs for WWE adapting to this new format. Besides the camera angles, I thought choosing two fast-paced high-impact matches in Cena/Brock/Seth and Charlotte/Asuka was a much more effective use of archival footage than replaying the entire men's Rumble, even though that was a very good match in its own right.

Andrade/Garza vs. Ricochet/Cedric was nice though Garza seemed to have ether mistimed some of his superkicks or just desperately want to go into a superkick party. He had to pull back on at least 2 or 3 of them. I felt for poor Cedric on that elbow at the end. Andrade/Garza going for the tag titles feels so damn random, but I don't have many complaints since they are good.

Orton's promo at the end was good stuff.

I know they don’t really care about managers, but they missed a prime opportunity to say Zelina was able to negotiate them into a tag title match.

I didn't have a problem with them showing more archival footage but the choices were so fresh in my mind I didn't need to see them. 

It's funny. I was just thinking "man, having stuff from a few years ago made it a lot more interesting than stuff I just watched a month or two ago"

I don't like Randy Orton, but, "Adam Copeland is a junkie for Edge" is a great line.

I'm not a huge fan of either guy in the ring barring the sprinkled match here and there, but they've always made magic together. That RAW match the week after Shawn/Cena nearly went an hour was a pretty great tv match.

One of my favorite matches from either guy. Heel vs heel matches are tough, but they got the crowd on board and made it feel special.

Angel Garza stealing the Tag Rope and trying to tag in the wrong corner was a great Heel tactic that I don't believe I have seen before. 

Referring to your board tag, I think the MCMGs did something similar in RoH or Impact, but that was a long time ago.

I'm waiting for Andrade to turn on Garza and we get the cousins teaming up for a run.

Andrade can call on "Lucha Royalty" to back him up...

As much as I'd love to see Ricochet rock the Prince Puma gimmick again, I don't want the WWE to buy the licensing IP so that he can only use it in the WWE.

Yeah, Taker and McCool were at a legit cult compound ran by a dude that has brainwashed himself a whole harem of women. ?

I saw your post before I read anything about the Tiger Shark thing, and I immediately filled in the blanks with McCool meeting the girl from Smallville at a convention signing and dragging Taker to NXIVM meetings. 

The reality is at least...less bad.
