Hell, I'm not convinced this stupid company wouldn't turn Reigns now that people are finally cheering him.

starting the day with Naito/Ibushi and ending it with this PPV really has me wondering why I waste so much time watching WWE.

Holy shit. It still kills me.
This and the debut of Shockmaster (which Harlem Heat is also present for) remain the funniest moments in WCW history.

That was madness. The best tickets were gone seemingly at 11:59. Looking forward to the meet and greet info.

Really not a fan of Ricochet and Aleister Black being thrown together as a team just because Vince decided to call them up for no real reason.

Yeah, they're very much a weird combo. And they haven't been being sold as an odd couple of anything, just 'hey, here's these two dude's

I'm guessing they're just wholesale taking the spot of DIY though.

Wish they had Gargano stay up, though. I kinda thought Truth's open challenge was leading to a re-introduction for him but nope.

Absolutely love Orange Cassidy, especially the run he's been on in Beyond the last year.

My only exposure to Orange has been a few comedy based matches with Massage Envy in Beyond a couple years ago. The matches were all technically sound and definitely some of the better comedy matches I’ve seen, but for some reason I had it in my head that all Orange matches were like that. I take it that’s not true?

Also, anyone else doing Mania weekend in NY this year? Have tickets to RevPro, NXT, and Mania as of now.

vince's format is so incredibly outdated and boring. it's insane that every single week he's still booking the 15 minute promo that has to open every show, these boring as fuck "talk shows," and the obvious authority swerves that have resulted in literally the exact same storyline on both shows and killed the momentum of both feuds. this is all pretty obvious, but last night was my first time watching a show live from start to finish in a while and it's crazy to see how someone can be as successful as he's been while being so awful at what he does.

Yeah, wasn't better, per se, than Okada/Ospreay from this morning/today but was just as or more fun

Totally agree. The most striking thing about the 5-way was seeing so much sheer potential for a future legitimate WWE face of the company type star. Absurd how much talent they have. I could see Black at Roman Reigns level, which seems to be as far as VKM will push anyone. Same for Riddle and possibly Dream.

I feel like Black doesn't quite have the personality for it? But I agree on Riddle and Dream and think that Cole could easily hit that Rollins/Styles level, if not Reigns level.

With Black's look and gimmick he doesn't really need it. I mean, people will just get him and be into the whole deal, I think. A modern day Taker in that regard. Huge merch potential. And yeah, I really wanted to throw Cole in the mix too, but I just can't see him getting quite as high, despite being incredible in his own right. Perhaps it's his size. He's one of the most charismatic and natural sounding promo guys they have. He would have no trouble turning a generic Raw promo into something way better than it has any right to be.
