The crowd chanting,"MAMA MIA!" when Mauro almost got taken out by the announce table spot was so great

What I love about that video (besides everything) is the fact that it shows how much every NXT announcer, even Percy, isn't afraid to lose their poo poo.

If WWE doesn't give me alternate angles of Mauro-cam with isolated Mauro commentary for every event from now on, I will literally riot.

Nixon Newell seems to be finally cleared to return to action. NXT had her knee surgically repaired when she reported to the Performance Center. She has been recovering for about a year now. If you don't follow UK indies she's about to become your new favourite wrestler.

God bless whoever had the idea of having a Mauro Ranallo cam. He is truly the English equivalent of Shinpei Nogami from NJPW but even more animated. gently caress JBL forever.

I will always defend my boy Mauro because gently caress, at least he seems to care. Cole (barring his WM30 calls) is just so rote nowadays that it robs even the coolest poo poo of impact sometime. At least Corey is trying to carry it.

I saw Nixon a few times at Axxess, she was mostly hanging around with Kay Lee Ray, and she looked like she was chomping at the bit to get back in the ring. I’m excited for her.

Meltzer gave both the ladder and Gargano/Ciampa matches 5 stars.

There are also only 5 5-Star matches in WWE ever that aren’t in 2018

Cena/Punk - 2011 MITB
Austin/Bret - WM13
Michaels/Undertaker HIAC - Badd Blood
Razor Ramon/Michaels ladder match - WM10
Bret/Owen cage match - SummerSlam 94

Basically Gargano is as good as Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.
