QT also had a really good match with Metalik for the Latin American title to open the Cleveland Collision show. I think that ended up being a dark match.

one idea of CM Punk storyline advancement
Next week: CM Punk comes out before Seth Rollins/Jey Uso to shake their hands, only for Seth Rollins to be perturbed by the whole thing
2 weeks from now: CM Punk shows unhappiness for the first time after being told that he can't go on last because the main event is Gunther/Miz in Cleveland. Or maybe he'll have a promo that is cut short by Gunther/Miz, like what happened this week. But we'll find that he just decided to not go out there
That would be for the best, considering how things usually go for Punk in Cleveland (Gall, Moxley).

Sounds like they did it because it's an official name change.
I was wondering why Britt Baker wasn't on the show. Usually, they make a big deal of her when they are in Pittsburgh.

I thought it was weird they had 2 refs for wargames.
It makes sense that with 8 to 10 wrestlers and two rings, there could be pinfall/submission attempts happening in both rings at the same time (or someone escaping the cage to forfeit the match).

Uncle Pepsi needs to cut the same "Why does everyone think I'm going to be a locker room cancer? I'm just here to make this company better" promo that the nWo did at no Way out 2002.
If he's going to be in the wrestling business, I want him to be happy and healthy, not miserable and picking fights with his co-workers.
He's a draw, and it doesn't matter what company he's in - it's good news for both companies if Punk fans are watching pro wrestling.

When Dom announced the 4 way, I had to think about what former NA champs were still working for WWE and were not occupied with something. Ricochet was the only other option.
Cameron Grimes is another possibility.

Yes, watch the Colossal Kongs refuse to wrestle each other!

Still befuddled about the Guardians designating Cal Quantrill for assignment. He was hurt a lot, but he came back strong at the end of the season.

Okay, I can't find it anywhere. What does OTM stand for?

I also figure that the indoor soccer team in that arena had a layout which kept the hockey boards up
The Cleveland Force! They actually drew some good crowds, and they would darken the arena while the fans waved light sabers.

Things I remembered from watching the 1987 Survivor Series:
The crowd is jazzed, the Richfield Coliseum looks like a place that hosted hockey at a time.
We were jazzed! The Richfield Coliseum didn't have a hockey team at that time, but we did before (Crusaders of the WHA and Barons of the NHL) and after (Lumberjacks of the IHL).

Surprised the Bollywood Boys got squashed like that. I hope they got an ROH match or something out of it as well.
They did (against The Boys).

Skye/Dante
Shafir/Roddy
Britt/Cole
Julia Hart/Lee Johnson
Anna/Perry
Johnny TV/Taya
Penelope/Kip
Storm/Juice
Bunny/Blade
Tay/SammyMiro and Lana could be in there, too.

According to Alexa Bliss dropkicks aren't very popular for women because they apparently have a tendency to make them pee themselves...
From King of New York - Page 14 (Survivor Series 87)
2. Fabulous Moolah (captain), Rockin’ Robin, Velvet McIntyre & Jumping Bomb Angels vs. Sensational Sherri (captain), Dawn Marie, Donna Christianello & The Glamour Girls
This match was a total dropkick-fest. Even Moolah threw a dropkick. Christianello looked like Rachel Dratch from Saturday Night Live.

How about if he gives all three partners title shots, and it's Wardlow, Samoa Joe, and Sting?

Thoughts on Guilty as Charged 2001
Joey Matthews and Christian York got a new manager, Joel Gertner. Yay! Oh no, Da Baldies attacked them, and then Jerry Lynn & Cyrus walked in and won their match. Will these plucky youngsters fulfill their destiny as the future of ECW? Or is another "oh no" on the way?
Speaking of the demise of national promotions in 2001, EZ Money had the honor of wrestling on the last ECW pay-per-view and then the last WCW PPV.
Tommy Dreamer got revenge against CW Anderson. Considering the promotion was closing soon, their feud "escalated quickly" to an I Quit match.
Sandman is the MVP for winning his record-breaking fourth ECW title in a ladder match. After the match, Corino and Credible shook his hand, foreshadowing their eventual participation in Ring of Honor.
No wait! I'm taking the award away from Sandman and giving it to Rhino! Serves Sandman right for never shaking my hand backstage.
Rhino gored Balls, Chilly, Simon, Swinger, and Dawn Marie. He was kind enough to spare Jasmine St. Claire ... but then he gave her a piledriver off the second rope. After Sandman won the title, Rhino coerced him into an immediate title shot by threatening his family. Rhino piledrove Sandman through a table (after he had already been through two other tables) and then piledrove him in the ring to win the title. Congrats Rhino ... you're the future of ECW!
Now it's time to complete the Attitude Era Collection by writing "King of Philadelphia." I haven't been tallying up the MVP awards, so this will be a rare instance in which the author doesn't know how the book will end until he gets to the final chapter. Until then, enjoy "King of New York" and "King of Atlanta"!

My first thought was Anna from Tekken so I looked it up and there was a side by side image of Anna and Ada which made me go "oh duh"
As far as announcing, a blend of calling moves and their impact is best. In theory you'd have one announcer for both. Just make Excalibur stop calling moves that stop flying attacks "anti-air" I play fighting games and that's the nerdiest shit ever.
I like "defensive dropkick" when it's a dropkick stopping the attack.

Calling actual wrestling moves means something.
I agree wholeheartedly. Every play-by-play announcer should know the name of every move AND every individual wrestler's moves. It's right there in the name of the job.
Then the question is, does my boss want me to say all of the names of the moves? With the exception of WWE, the answer should be yes.
I don't think you need to say the name of every move if there are five moves in five seconds, because then you sound like an auctioneer. Maybe just mention the last move in that sequence.
Finally, if you know all of the moves, there's a way to avoid being a show-off about it. Like when someone does a big lucha dive, let the initial "WHOA!" sink in, and then when everyone is getting up, you could say it was a somersault plancha.

Vladimir's interactions with Jarrett and HHH showed that he's the perfect fan. He pays money, shows up, cheers the faces, boos the heels, and inspires everyone sitting near him to do the same.
We never did find out how he always managed to get such great seats and how he could afford to attend 1000 shows and 35 WrestleManias.
-
Not counting attending my first show and a bunch of pay-per-views, I think the coolest things I've seen as a fan were when the World title changed hands. I've witnessed four of them:
- Steamboat beats Flair at Chi-Town Rumble
- Yokozuna squishes Hogan at King of the Ring 93
- Kane beats Austin at King of the Ring 98
- Moxley destroys Punk at Cleveland Dynamite (August 22)
I also have to mention the Undertaker-Mankind match at SummerSlam 96. Not only did it result in my dad's outrage against Paul Bearer (Dad wasn't a big fan, but that got him), but two of my friends, "Handsome" Frank Stalletto and "Beef Stew" Lou Marconi, served as Undertaker's druids.

Apparently, the backers for this weekend's Fury vs. Ngannou fight have paid Mike Tyson a ton of money to "train" Francis Ngannou. That's sort of the biggest thing to come from this fight the whole week. Other than John Fury being a crazy old coked up white man (like father, like son?). Between the splurging on Mike Tyson and requesting wrestlers to be on WWE shows in Saudi Arabia who have long passed away, is there a nostalgia kick that they're on?
Maybe they were impressed by Tyson's success at training pigeons.
