Just watching this now and can't help but notice the loving creep in the front row hiding his camera behind a small "Hottest Chick In The Ring" sign sneaking pictures of Carmella's rear end. Ugh.

So I'm assuming the Vaudevillains/BAMF feud leads to some old-timey lady wrestler debuting to even the odds? I was curious as to why they would do the tag title match on a regular weekly show, but that's the only reason I can think of for holding it off of Takeover: Brooklyn since there's not nearly enough time to build a new tag title feud. Oh, also - what's the deal with Uhaa? They ran packages for him for like two weeks then just stopped mentioning him at all.

Mechanics felt like an oldschool team name. It's probably for the best. Once creative got bored with them, they would have just turned them into actual auto mechanics.

Tye Dillinger rules. I was ready to pass on the Perfect 10 thing at the NXT Philly show but he won the entire crowd over throughout the match. The dude is great.

The streamers thing ruled. Dudes threw streamers and security kicked them out which forced the crowd to go ballistic booing and chanting to let them stay. So they're gone for like three minutes and then suddenly security is walking them back to their seats. The crowd went nuts cheering and chanting "welcome back" and stuff. It was a really fun and sweet moment. I'm glad the crowd cared so much about those dudes.

Seems odd to me that they wouldn't totally capitalize on the UK tour and film a Takeover there. The Japan special apparently did pretty well on the network, right? Doesn't seem like pre-taped or aired-at-ridiculous-times specials hurt the special in the U.S.

I get the Balor/Demon complaints. Just because it's a ladder match doesn't mean the "demon is unleashed" or whatever. He did the same stuff in a ladder match anybody else would - using the ladder as a weapon, doing his finisher off of the ladder, etc. But, his actual in-ring style is the same as when he's not the demon. He doesn't brawl more or wrestle a crazier style or anything like that; he's just doing the same stuff as regular Finn Balor does except he's painted up like a maniac. I think it would definitely add some depth if putting on the paint changed his personality and wrestling style. Just make him way more loving vicious.

There are very few feel-good moments in wrestling that have brought me anywhere close to tears, but Sasha winning the title and Bayley winning it are two of them. Being there in person for Bayley's win was unreal. The crowd was so hot for the whole match and EVERYONE around was counting the final three count with arms in the air. Just a legitimately good moment that everybody felt a part of. That match and victory are the reasons I can't stop watching this poo poo.

Dana Brook's look is so confusing to me. She is/can look like a total babe but since her debut her face has gotten real puffy and she makes odd makeup choices. With her face getting so puffy she almost starts to look like a kid who got into their mother's makeup and went nuts with it. That, plus her gear changes almost weekly. It's like nobody knows exactly what to do with her so they're just trying to make her look different/weirder every week. Also, her speaking voice is awful. It's not as bad as Eva Marie who always sounds like a freshly built robot speaking for the first time, but it's still pretty bad. Hoping Emma just knocks her out and does things on her own or somehow rubs off on her.

Have they announced what the format for this thing is? It's not a normal tournament, right? Round robin? No format and just a bunch of tag matches with no details?

Enzo posted on Instagram earlier about how much of an honor it was to wrestle Finn who he referred to as "one of the best dudes, my homey". So either he's really laying it on thick after getting smacked around, or nothing actually happened and people in the crowd overreacted. One seems way more plausible than the other.

Pulling for Dash & Dawson to win this whole tournament. If the plan is to have Joe and Finn lose and build an angle off of it, there's no reason that it needs to happen in a loss in the finals. Let it happen in the semis so then the final match ha 100% focus on the actual match at hand.

The Sasha/Bayley video that tore the forum apart is now private; did anyone happen to save it/upload it anywhere else? Been trying to find it but haven't had any luck. Asuka's debut match was awesome especially after such a lackluster "new signing" debut (mostly because it was almost identical to Hideo's debut). She may be the most charismatic woman on the roster. She just has all of these little ticks and moves that she does in the ring between moves that kind of capture your attention. Super stoked to see more of her. Also, my guess has always been that they're saving Crews' SSP for a big match. Like, he hits the press slam and moonsault combo on someone and they kick out so then later in the match he hits the press slam and moonsault again, but then follows it up with the SSP to get the win.

Getting more invested than that is stupid. That's not what happens with The R Man, though. He's constantly leading on that he knows all of the details of things but withholds it because of some bizarre internet power trip bullshit. It's just silly.
