the after-show stream is so much fun. EX and Taz really like having fun with each other

this was my first time watching one of these and thought it was great. especially once it was just excalibur and taz, for the reason you mentioned. I was pleasantly surprised that it was done shoot style in their impressions. nice to hear their thoughts on things in that way.

Got recommended the Wardlow vs Cody steel cage match tonight because I hadn't seen Wardlow wrestle before tonight. That was loving sick. That moonsault at the end. Hard to believe that was only 2 months ago.

A lot of the "THIS YEAR IS A DECADE" stuff makes me roll my eyes but there's no way that was two months ago.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It's wild how they've used Wardlow the way Vince mocked WCW for not using The Giant (and then totally failed to use The Big Show.)

Just this big threatening guy who wrestles rarely and looks big and threatening.

Hmmm but what if you dressed him in a diaper and made him dance around? I think such a segment would do wonders for Wardlow's mystique.

No matter how well you use the Big Show you're not going to get great matches out of it so I give WWE a pass on this one. Big Show was no Wardlow.

So far Wardlow has had two TV squashes and a cage match that while great was structured in a way that it didn't need him to be a super worker. Big Show was capable of great matches, and had some, plus other good ones with the right opponents.

Cody's cyber-office is amazing. Actually this whole promo is great. Refreshing and different.

Scorpio Sky's nipples are weirdly prominent.

Oh, okay, MJF's injury is an angle.

Jericho struggling for the word "environment" was great.

Darby/Sammy is always remarkable. I don't know if this was better than their absolute war at Revolution but this was wild as hell. The psychology of the lost boot was great. And poo poo, that grapevine pin of Darby's is deadly.

This isn't a prediction so much as speculation, but... what if Darby beats Cody in the semi final? It would tie their series again, be a really decent torch-pass from Cody, and move us from a predictable final to a wild card.

SAMUEL THE FALSE GOD!

I would love a Sammy/Hardy chaos match.

The switch from Damascus to Matt Hardy was great.

Wow, Omega is giving a lot in this match. Really letting Angels get his stuff in. Angels actually looks good in this squash.

The sports presentation in this Scorpio Sky package is a really good choice. Whoever wins the TNT title, Sky needs to be an early contender.

As Havoc's main fanboy on here, I'm glad to see this match.

Boo, we lost the homemade entrance video.

Wow, Havoc is dominating here and looking good. They're selling the sadism & submissions well.

gently caress, that Havoc sell on the top turnbuckle spot was nasty as hell. Jesus. This match is getting pretty good.

Cassidy's first singles win! Yay! And we set up for later Best Friends / Brit Boys matches. I'm not mad at it.

MJF promo. This mfer said MJeffs.

Hangnail is the obvious but fun way to go.

Cutie pie Lee Johnson is back. Sorry you're going to get murdered, cute guy. Wardlow is such a good monster. Fast and powerful and just looks great. He's got a snap on some of his moves that makes them look deadly.

There was a PUPPY in that Bubbly Bunch ad.

Revisiting the Dark Order vignettes. Hi Mr Brodie.

"How tall are you, how much do you weigh, did you play college football?" you rear end in a top hat.

Brodie Lee is so very good at this charismatic shithead stuff.

Enjoying the vicious Brodie squashes, but I want to see him face someone real. Oh, hi Marko.

Best Friends promo was outstanding. Trent is so dry.

Hi bubbly boys. Ortiz and his cuddly toys are great. Benji is great. Flim Flam! (not affiliated with TikTok).

Dustin / Kip is a really solid match. Kip has his working boots on tonight and has looked really good. Had the result we knew it would, but overall very watchable.

For a three-squash show, this was very good.

when was the last time we got a full judas? it's been a few weeks right? it feels like forever. they should have just given jericho a full entrance at the start of every show before he gets on commentary. the mini-judas from the bubbly bunch intro isn't doing it for me

My memory is increasingly hosed: didn't they do some kind of thing where they had people send them videos of them singing along to Judas? Done right and with some clever editing you could make a virtual Judas choir.

I really enjoyed last nights episode. It felt more lively than other recent episodes.

Predictions on who Brodie Lee was talking to? 6'2, 240 is pretty close to EC3's stats, but I have no clue if he played college ball.
