erm maybe not girls
I was about to say...isn't Ibushi part of that community that enjoys the matches of one Stylish Alan Jones?
Re: Lana and Rusev...they must have skipped the Performance Center seminar where they brought in an old timer to teach the kids "it's not what you make, it's what you save."

Fans get +1 for chanting "Ho...Ho Lun" in New Day cadence.
-1 for not chanting "Alejandroooo....ale-ale-jandro.....ale-ale-jandroooooooooo" at Saez.

No updates on Tyrell
He's alive. That's who was on the phone at the end of the episode. The caller said, "bonsoir, Elliott," which si what Tyrell said to Elliott a few times in season 1. And it was clearly his voice.
Good enough opener and I'm with you w/r/t the show going in directions you didn't expect.
Whenever a series premier or season opener is front loaded with the first two episodes, it's because someone thinks episode 1 isn't enough to hook new viewers. And they're usually right, as episode 1 is always heavier on table-setting than on flashy stuff. So good choice in that regard, USA.

Wow, what a good show. It came off as so spontaneous and fun since it wasn't overproduced like Raw. Bryan & Mauro were excellent and I didn't hear a single reference to a wrestler being "fun to watch." Amazing how well an announcer can do when they don't a geriatric loon in their ears yelling at them to use catchprases and $10 words at every turn.
I noticed the ring looked smaller and had wider turnbuckle pads. Good choice.

Vince is really tone deaf about race. This is a guy who claims MLK is an idol of is, yet booked a storyline (and storylines involving Vince are just his way of living out his fantasies, come on now) where he drooled over the possibility of having "bestial" sex with a black woman. Because sex with blacks is the same as fucking an animal, I suppose.

I mean that's just 'billy best practices.
Great idea. Like Marilyn on The Munsters, or Baby Firefly.

Does any of our older posters feel the Monday Night Wars burned them on wrestling?
In a way, because it made matches less special. I grew up on syndicated shows where the occasional midcarder vs midcarder main event was something unique and fun. I'd look forward to SNME and Mania like they were Christmas because that was the only time you'd get a bunch of matches with marquee guys. Also, the squashes served to build guys up.
The Monday Night Wars killed this dead because the competition between the companies forced them to put star vs star matches on free TV. And now, even though the war is long over, they still burn through prospective matches and nothing is special anymore. I've seen Owens vs Cesaro on free TV 3-4 times already and, while they're awesome wrestlers and I enjoy their matches, the bouts mean nothing. There's no build to the matches and nothing to get excited about.
So I'd say one very particular aspect of the wars -- the overexposure of big matches -- still has repercussions today and absolutely burned me out on WWE. I like Popeye's chicken but I don't want it every day.

Who could Steph get back for Cass? Not five guys but maybe 3.
Traded for multiple picks? Overrated and run into the ground by a petty, power mad GM? Oh shit dudes Cass is going to be the RG3 of this draft.

I just realized they just shoved U.S. wrestlers' pics wherever they could, unless Rich Swann moved from Baltimore to the middle of the California coast and Gargano left Cleveland for Colorado (not saying I'd blame either of them).

If I had a dime for every time Vince didn't let his love for big men cloud his judgment, I'd have....

Holy fuck look at Taker's head bounce off the mat. I'm in pain just watching it. I'm fairly certain this was his last dropkick and he swore them off after that.

Is AJ Styles also only over because hipster indy fans demanded it or was he away from the indies long enough (his awful appearance at BOLA notwithstanding) that it doesn't count?

I forgot how addictive the non-storyline stuff is, just exploring, doing bounties, picking flowers for the survivalist stuff, dead-eye shooting dear in the head with a pistol, killing ambushers. I did one mission for McFarlane and then spent an hour assing off. More than any of the GTA games, the world in this one just feels real and is one you want to spend time in to see what random shit happens next.

Not quite a finisher but I want someone to bring back Kidmans apron to floor shooting star press
Adam Page in ROH does it to a standing opponent. Looks like shit 100% of the time.
EDIT: Damn, posted before I noticed @Ryan beat me to it.

To the fans, on the other hand? He was never "Antonio Cesaro", all of these things were jokes (to the fact the crowd actually bought into doing the "WE THE PEOPLE!" claim done by the guys who were sold as racist assholes who hate everyone who wasn't a straight white male)- all of that was nothing. To them, he was Claudio Castagnoli, the same guy he was in ROH or CHIKARA all along, and he needed to be treated as EXACTLY as big a deal as Claudio Castagnoli was in ROH or CHIKARA, no matter that either promotion are far smaller than WWE- and if he wasn't instantly as huge a deal as he was there it's was BERRIEDED and proof WWE hates them (even if they changed the story to make Daniel Bryan win at Mania 30...what've you done for us LATELY? We want Cesaro now!)
I think, in your irrational hatred for indy fans and your overzealous rush to demonize them as wrestling hipsters at every opportunity, you overestimate the size of that fanbase vs the size of the part of WWE's fanbase that only follow WWE. I guarantee the majority of people watching WWE had no idea who Claudio Castagnoli was when he was brought up.

Hey guys, did you know that most black people are killed by other black people? Well that's what some dopes like to bring up in these discussions but my counter to that is ALL races are more likely to be killed by someone of their own race. No fucking shit. People are going to kill people who live closest to them. Whites mostly kill other whites.
Such a dumb argument.
That argument right there with "but...but...something something Chicago!" on the Dogwhistle Racist Bingo Card.

I was scanning around talk radio yesterday (because I'm an idiot) and hear this kind of thing and it just drove me nuts. Is there anything as tone deaf and clueless beyond the pale as older, well-off white guys telling all black people how they should feel and act?

I just watched my requisite 30 minutes of Raw and wow, that Wyatt segment was bad. Now I see what everybody meant when they were talking about the use of Adobe Premier templates. Jesus fuck I got a headache 1 minute in. Also, the accidental race war undertones were upsetting.

Wait wait what? I haven't watched Raw yet, just read a recap. So Stephanie and Shane will be COO's of their respective shows and then each will name a figurehead commissioner, too? Holy fuck. So the only thing better than an authority figure is FOUR authority figures? Well I guess the trend of FFWDing through their shows and watching two segments will continue unabated.

I'm not surprised they used free templates because Adobe Premier is so difficult to learn that you essentially can't teach that.

What the "All LIves Matter" morons don't get (or simply refuse to acknowledge) is that the "too" is implied. Holy shit, it's not hard to understand. When I say, "I really like Five Guys hamburgers," nobody pipes up and yells, "fuck you what about BGR? All burgers are delicious!"
It's sad that we have to be reminded that black lives matter too, but a normal, law-abiding dude just got gunned down in his car by a scared-ass cop for nothing and nobody seems to really give a shit outside of the requisite two-day period of virtue signaling, so here we are.

oh wow, Rude and Bull were sort of doing the Problem Solver/Snap Shot?
Seriously, I've never seen that. I remember Rude finishing guys with the DDT back then (the original "Rude Awakening") but I can't recall ever seeing this double team. Awesome.
Has there ever been another team where both guys have such amazing, sweet mustaches? Instead of "R n R," they should have been called "The Flavor Savers."
