How did this thread fall to page two with the amazingness that is Velveteen Dream? His opponent-mocking gear is always amazing. The frowny face on his bicep sleeve :discourse:

Gargano/Dream was fantastic and when you put it up against their first match it shows how much Dream has grown over the course of this year.

Give it five years (and no major injuries, avoiding lovely writing, not being booked as a comedy jobber, etc) and Dream will be headlining PPVs regularly. Dude's the most all-round compelling performer WWE has.

No, no, it's okay, I have a great eye for these things. I mean, the last person I backed to be a big star was Bayl- oh. Well, before that I definitely picked a winner in Tyler Br- gently caress.

Gargano's little arc has gotten really neat too. He can't quite do the angry killer thing and his opponents have figured out it will inevitably bite him

That's the entire TV group except for a handful of people nobody wants to see anyway. That's pretty standard for the national tour.

The only notable name missing from that list seems to be Kairi Sane. But she's on vacation right now in Japan, visiting family. Also probably because her hometown got hit pretty hard by the typhoon that Japan had to deal with.

I saw Chris Hero work a local match against a WV indie guy in a high school gym that felt like an oven for 40 minutes and it was one of the best matches I've ever seen, what's to hate about Ohno

Its kinda amazing how often she gets to go on vacation. I wonder if it just fit into the touring schedule or something else.

I have no idea what Dream's main roster experience is going to be like. I see the justifications for a huge push, a middling one, or a complete joke.

His whole thing creates fun moments for wrestlers than can roll with it so there's a ton of potential rivalries.

Our main was War Raiders and Ricochet vs TUE
Tyler Breeze beat Dan Matha who did the whole bait and switch hometown hero who loving hates his city (and moved to Cleveland) promo. Talked a lot about low T and how he couldn't tell the difference between men and women here.
Nikki and Candace beat Shayna and Vanessa Bourne
Heavy Machinery beat The Lost Sons
Ciampa beat Dijak
Gargano beat Lars via DQ
Dakota Kai beat Aliyah

Fun house show overall, made better because I won 258$ in the slots at the casino beforehand so nothing was going to bring my mood down

For those interested in the Coconut Loop, it seems like the main event of tonight's house show will be Jessamin Duke and Marina Shayfir vs Kacy Catanzaro and Io Shirai.

It'll be interesting to see that matchup, because it'll be the first time that Jessamin and Marina actually have to bump. Apparently in the vast majority of their other matches, either their tag partner or Shayna have done the majority of the selling/bumping.
