Did they film all the round one matches at once? Bryan's getting hoarse.

Tajiri vs Gran Metallik and Cedric Alexander vs Kota Ibushi next week. Just two matches? Wonder if they are going to have losers matches too?

Both matches could go 15-20 minutes, and we might get longer promo videos for the guys. That wouldn't leave much time for anything else, especially if one or other of the matches goes even longer.

I would imagine they're going to leave in basically 100% of the reaction for Cedric Alexander

With intros the matches are going a little over a half hour so there's probably more human interest stuff and hype vids

They might do stuff like Bryan, Mauro and Corey doing a longer tale of the tape as well, breaking down the matches.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



That was a legit MOTY contender from Gargano and Ciampa. Having not watched them at all in the indies and mostly seen them as a good but not great tag team, I'm really impressed and can't wait for their singles runs.

That Ciampa/Gargano match was incredible. I was sitting there just :suspense: the whole time.

It, Zayn/Owens from Battleground and Zayn/Nakamura from Takeover are my top 3 for MOTY.

Tonight we got the best match of the first round and definitely the worst match of the first round. Dar and Sihra had zero chemistry and it looked like part of the match may he be even been edited. I find myself completely unimpressed with Noam Dar and I hope that ZSJ turns him into a pretzel.

Jack Gallagher rules and I am glad that I now know of his greatness.

Agreeing with all of this. Dar's rolling for no reason really throws off the feel of the match.

Yeah Dar was easily the biggest disappointment of the first round. Everyone who put in a worse performance than him was one of the no-names. Unless they seriously switch things up, Dar vs. Lun is easily the second round match to be least excited about

The match to be most excited about? Either Ibushi vs. Alexander or Tozawa vs. Gallagher

Welcome to Moonside.

Wecomel to Soonmide.

Moonwel ot cosidme.
Ciampa and Gargano were wrestling each other on the indies for years before they ended up as a tag team in NXT, not surprised they had a great singles match. Not quite Generico/Steen levels of legendary rivalry, but they probably had at least a dozen matches across a bunch of different promotions after Ciampa left ROH.

Now that I think about it Ciampa was never much of a tag wrestler on the indies to begin with, really.
