Jerry Jarret's non-union Mexican equivalent paid even worse than he did.

Really fun show this week. Loved the Nia squash of Blue Pants, whose new theme sucks. Baron beat Tye in convincing fashion, and Storm looked far better in this match than his first one. The switch to the Last Call is a lateral move since the 8 Second Ride sucked. Team Gable's match ruled, and Joe vs. Ciampa was absolutely perfect. Ciampa shined a lot, while Joe looked better here than every before on NXT. It was a very rewatchable match, and a must-watch edition of NXT. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/12/wwe-nxt-12-1-15.html Screens - #goemmago http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/xnchdzizy2o8ehwzfqt9p9gsqolxrywp

Every single about this show either sucked or was counter-productive. This company is doomed beyond all reasonable hope right now. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-raw-11-30-15.html Screens - "THERE IS THE STATE OF WWE NOW! http://http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/yc2ub82lc3mo4j8d7w6cqwl5c6yziirh

That Charlotte action figure has some fantastic articulation.

Fucking awful show. Just boring shit from beginning to end, outside of the divas match and a brief sign of life with Heath Slater being amusing. Main event was okay, and at least Barrett gets to be used in a main event angle again - so hopefully they make the most of this and at least gets some new acts heated up. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-raw-11-23-15.html Screens - Kofi with the best hair in the company Viva La Paige http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/eo50dqd0ryi2o5z8j5sxdmi4oxpro373

Not much of a show match-wise. Alberto vs. Roman had brief flashes of greatness at the end, but nothing beyond that. Owens vs. Dean was "better", but not great. The Survivor Series matches were nothing, but Goldust's return was at least amusing. Charlotte vs. Paige was pretty bland and heatless. Wyatts vs. Brothers of Destruction was fun, but not worth rewatching beyond the entrances. Both Roman's title win and loss were LOL-worthy. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-survivor-series-2015.html Screens - Dolph's worst getup yet. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/r6f1k442nhrm2a9w68ki86dv7i7q1xns

Super-fun show here. We got an effective Nia squash, while Gable and Jordan looked strong against the Ascension. Emma's squash was great too, and it led to a spooky as hell Asuka bit too! Mechanics vs. Team Jobbers was fun, and Alexa vs. Bayley was excellent. Not Takeover-level, but a great TV main event that showcased Alexa's progress. Bayley has done something that not even Shane Douglas could do - get the belly to belly over as a legit finisher. Eva's promo on Bayley and the NXT crowd was so glorious too. God, what a fun TV show. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/nxt-11-18-15.html Screens - Reason #29393 why Alexa's gear rules http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/37ri71xag1tvxncmmrfq13jkns32h95l

Disappointed they didn't go with the obvious bit and use Christmas cookie designs for the shirt.

Roman vs. Cesaro ruled so much. Cesaro came off as a top level guy once again, and Roman held his own. The finishing sequence was superb as well. The BoD-Wyatts stuff kinda sucked, and holy Jesus was the main event promo exchange between Paige and Charlotte a disaster. They have Charlotte, who can't deliver scripted lines well yet, try and do that while also balancing TALKING ABOUT HER DEAD BROTHER and how she's fulfilling his dream. If it was part of her character's story, then there's a way to do that well and enhance her act - this wasn't that way. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/raw-11-16-15.html Screens - NEW DAY! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/rr75witkvlh8vuccz0uzjqvzezld5mzw

Shera won the "most improved" award last night. COMMENCE TO LOLING.

The show started off strong with Madison Rayne being the NINJA QUEEN! That was about the peak of the show until Matt's awful interview. Dixie and EC3 meeting in her office, which included a WWE action figure of Kurt Angle was another highlight. Matt vs. Eddie Edwards was good, but EC3-Anderson was just 15 minutes of nothing after the chops early on. Screens - The laughter. WILL. NOT. DIE! Dixie's office includes a Kurt Angle WWE figure. I'm astonished there isn't a framed photo of Stephanie sending her a retweet. She's a NINNNJAAAA QUEEEEN! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/8gouc8p38n5nnuvwvv2mgam3gtenkwht

Enjoyable stuff with Crews and Baron to start the show. Alexa's cuckolds ate defeat, but It's Bayley! was great. She got the belly to belly on Murphy, had her biggest fan there, and even prevented those evil-doers' cheating! Tag title match wasn't much, but Nia's squash was fun and they're building up something with her being Eva Marie's muscle. The Joe-Balor stuff was a fine way to end the show too. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-nxt-11-11-15.html Screens - It's Booty! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/6ofpsn8s9pvuwrhy03mloggr641boimu

Cesaro vs. Sheamus ruled. The Brothers of Destruction-Wyatts stuff was mostly good. Breeze got a lot in against Dean, and the tourney set up some good matches. They also planted a seed or two for a future Reigns turn. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/j23gkrppoztg3ea35obvb5zv5p2o56eo Screens - Divas http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/j23gkrppoztg3ea35obvb5zv5p2o56eo

Asuka vs. Cameron was so much fun. Asuka just killing people rules. Loved Gable calling their team the World's Greatest Tag Team before Jordan saying nonono... Eva Marie vs. The Un-named Cute Blonde was fun, while Crews vs. Finn was good enough to show you what they COULD do in a Takeover match while still having Baron Von Wolfie interfere and then Joe come out and turn on Finn. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/nxt-11-4-15.html Screens - I don't which Izzy face is funnier http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/0jb3kt7l1b35afn1dqr4ys0pw2ixh7xi

To be fair, no other babyfaces have friends - so they might've forgotten.

Pretty enjoyable show this week. New Day returned in full, and we got some really fun stuff with the tag division getting some renewed focus to some degree with a Lucha Dragons win and video package. Nice usage of the IC Champ tonight and they made a lot of guys seem slightly elevated being in the Survivor Series match. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-raw-11-2-15.html Alberto has been spending his WWE money well.

I would think about buying a Bayley club shirt.

Welcome to my nightmare. That is more terrifying than every horror movie put together.

LOVED the wacky Grado vs. Matt skit. Nothing really amazing match-wise, but Kong vs. Gail was one of their better modern-era matches. http://www.f4wonline.com/tna-news/tna-impact-results-1028-world-title-series-week-four-matt-hardy-drew-galloway-awesome-kong Screens - V1-AAAHHHH http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/1tjypz97h08aw1s7pwibmchfi51dr08t

More good than bad this week. First hour was pretty wrestling-heavy and good. LOLed at Zeb just hand-waving the logic gaps in this pairing. Alberto looked motivated, but his match still bored me. He's definitely in 401K-building mode, and seems kinda like the modern day Shane Douglas - he seems like a bigger star on a smaller stage than a big one. The goal of the show was to clearly make Roman into "the man" again, and they still have a lot of work left to do. Wyatts beating up Kane amused me more than Bray's promo. Roman needed to have a good night and did. His work in both matches was strong, and the pop-up powerbomb counter was perfectly timed and something they can put in highlight reels for years. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/wwe-raw-10-26-15.html Screens - Quite the tum tum on Braun. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/djtwh3jwxftb4thz43aiqy1akd8yn3m0

I just now noticed that Xavier appears to have a Hyrulian crest tattoo on his wrist.

Pre-show match was a great building block for Cesaro - he shined brightly and felt like he would be perfect to win the US Title here. Then ALBERTO RETURNED WHILE STILL AAA WORLD CHAMPION. He and Cena had an okay, but nothing memorable match. I dig the superkick being his finisher instead of the armbar, at least for this match - gives him another weapon to win with. Roman vs. Bray wasn't much, but it had a couple of video game-style highlights. Dudleys vs. New Day sucked and the champs retained. Charlotte vs. Nikki was largely sloppy, but got good-ish kinda towards the end. Team PCB are now just besties again. Seth vs. Kane was pretty bad, but at least Seth won. Ryback vs. Owens was worse than Henry vs. Owens from Raw, but again, at least the right guy won with Owens retaining. Taker vs. Brock was absolutely nuts. Each guy bled, Brock clearly bladed AND THREW THE DOCTOR. We got some exposed boards, a tombstone...near them because Taker isn't about to fuck his knees up anymore bumping on that and then a big F5 on the boards - so Brock wins this war. Taker's next war was built up with the Wyatts attacking him and...then no one helping Taker. They could've had the exact same scene of Taker being carried away, but with a slew of faces also being laid out - but no, Roman didn't help. Dean didn't help, and neither did Kane. Ending visual was at least cool though. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/wwe-hell-in-cell-2015.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/m4h1ld15aatpbsvfwl1tfeswvi65456q

Yeah, that's worrisome. I got my review copy a week ahead of time last year, but won't get 2K16 until Monday at the earliest.
