Bray Wyatt is a goddamn MASTER. To think that's Husky Harris of all people. Just goes to show that the right gimmick goes a long long way. Also Memo Montenegro AKA Alberto Del RiBro (I'm sorry :() made me laugh for some reason. And I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that that one woman loving HATED Leakee/Roman Reigns.

Absolutely. It's a revelation.

It's a gimmick that can work in PG WWE but wow, does it play to the line or what.

Harper is great in the role of the bizarre, hypnotized berzerker of Bray Wyatt.

PTP vs. Usos
Segment about WWE giants
Primo vs. Khali

Opener was a really sound tag match and a lot of fun, and the main event was the best Khali match I've ever seen. Might have something to do with the fact that he didn't hit a single offensive maneuver. It's nice to see that Dolph will have a viable career in commentary after his body completely falls apart, as he added a lot to the show.

"Maybe he has something in both of his eyes."

The British Empire was built on cups of tea, and if you think I'm going into battle without one, you're sorely mistaken!



Saturday Morning Slam is all I've ever wanted out of wrestling. You can tell they're actually having fun out there, and Ziggler is indeed excellent on commentary.

People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.
Saturday Morning Slam is oddly entertaining. It's such an easy watch at 20something minutes, and the matches tend to have a lot more psychology than your generic 3 minute Raw/SD squash. I like that they have lots of history on it too with the video vault segments, cool to see stuff like a random Jake Roberts promo. The first few weeks of the show were kinda rough, the matches (1 per show) were full of awkward cutting away (like Jinder Mahal doing a powerbomb, of all moves), but now it's two matches with a better story, to avoid all the cutting.

I would have loving loved this show as a kid.

I love the show as an adult. It just seems like everyone is having way more fun, which in turn, makes it more enjoyable to watch. I loved the tag match with the pick thing and the millions of dollars mock chant and PTP's pathetic millions of dollars chant.
I love Dolph doing color, it just makes me realize how bad Santino was doing it.

Part 2 Big E interview, Aksana vs. Layla, Wyatt promo, Roman Reigns vs. Chase Donovan
Part 3 End of Leakee match, Jinder vs. Bo

I've decided to put NXT stuff under spoiler tags because there are actual story happenings on the show and I like to be surprised as I watch it so I figure others might too. For those who just hone in on specific guys/matches, then you can check the listings under the tags.



November 14, 2012

Part 1 Build to Rhodes Scholars vs. Team Friendship, start of match
Part 2 Match
Part 3 Santino vs. Otunga :geno:

I dig Conor O'Brien's new 'do - he looks much more imposing. Commentary was even more scattered than usual and sorely missing William Regal's presence. I loved JR describing Aksana's actions as "a seductive waste of time," and she was pretty non-PG this week. Matches were decent but most of my favourites weren't competing.

Ehh I was pretty bored with this week's show. The opener felt like the first half of the match was edited out, Regal wasn't there to fill the boring parts with hilarity and did anyone really think Bo was going to beat Jinder? That said I like Corey's new look, Big E seems to be improving his speaking skills and Bray Wyatt continues to be insanely good.

The fact that this is the first week with pink ropes on NXT tells us how far behind the tapings are. I also love how they followed face Rollins with a Raw Rebound in which he played the heel - why are they showing Raw poo poo on NXT anyway, I feel like they don't usually do that and it's a change for the worse. I think the next callup from NXT should be the crowd, because those guys are awesome.
