Iron Moose

I'm guessing we get Nia/Bayley again for number one contender, Sasha interferes, and then we get a fourway in the same way we got the three-way last year. :\

This is my favorite post in months. I have nothing to add but a reference to Sasha Banks' well-documented fondness for Sailor Moon and a hope for a match between the two where we learn that yes, it IS physically possible to counter the Eclipse into the Bank Statement.

I wonder if it's too un-NXT/swervy to have one of Billie or Payton take the fall immediately for the other, and then have Regal restart the match as elimination and give us a lengthy Asuka/Cross after tossing the other Aussie.

Least predictable Royal Rumble in years?

At risk of fantasy-booking entrances, I want Gallagher to come down in a three-piece suit every week. And then have a striped beach tent by the ring that he steps into and changes in.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the INTERNET MATCH OF THE YEAR thread, but here's a 13 minute video of Becky Lynch fighting a can of pineapple.

I will add at least one other AA/Revival, and the other Revival/DIY. I also really liked ZSJ/Metalik -- worked at a furious pace appropriate to its place in the tournament, and said pace covered up a lot of sloppy execution.

They're giving Mustafa Ali the gimmick that belonged to Daivari's brother.

I read that they're cancelling Superstars in favor of 205 Live... if that's the case, does it also mean that this show will be on air in foreign markets?

of all the things to expect on the DVDVRMB, GIGLI WAS NOT ONE OF THEM, SIR.

I've grumped about it before and I'll do it again: The End and the 2/3 falls on the weekly show were both better than the Dallas tag. The only thing Dallas has is the feel-good ending and a less cloying babyface shine at the top...

this card had so much potential.

At least one of them was a real violinist: Brigit O'Regan ... and per her instagram the others might be as well.

I didn't feel like Nakamura did Joe many (any?) favors until the ending. I was relieved. I will also gladly add my voice to the chorus singing the glory of The Revival. That was beautiful.

Without intending to spoil anything: since it's Toronto, does anyone hope/think we'll get a Trish cameo?

oh god why would she do that #alldeadeverything

I'm surprised they didn't lean more on "YOLO" for Liv...

Given the Raw-exclusive cruiserweight title, it probably should have been Steph. Given the Full Sail crowd I have no idea how that would have played out, but I am very curious.

hell of a show.

Sasha also called Dana Miss Piggy back in NXT, setting up Emma/Dana v Charlotte/Sasha (in return, Sasha gave Charlotte a title match. )

Billie/Peyton/Asuka tripe threat! And I guess ... Itami/Tozawa v TM-61?

I've enjoyed Aliyah and Liv performances in the past, but I felt like this match was ... simultaneously weightless and a climax to a story we had not seen the rest of. Both Aliyah's viciousness (the running knee to start, the punching in the ropes, kicking during the submission - these are things you do once you have a history with someone) and Liv's finishing kick felt unearned / came out of nowhere. Maybe a less decisive finish (flash pin after a harder kick?) would have worked better.

A time-limit draw or double count-out or something might have been interesting.

In a hypothetical Ibushi/ZSJ final... ?
