I missed this besides the Revival and Asuka/Bailey, were the rest worth watching?

Liked how they story of Bailey vs Asuka was Bailey finding more courage and "fighting spirit" to stand up to Asuka (hence the no selling) but felt the execution wasn't all there and it felt more like awkward selling than a compelling story being told, I guess the crowd and commentary not catching on didn't help...or maybe I'm creating a narrative and Bailey just didn't sell well and went indyrrific tonight. Either way, it was good match but it didn't completely clicked with me, it had the right intentions though :ehh:

This No Way Jose shyt is over but has main roster flop written all over it. Not that the gimmick is horrible but WWE can't handle this or book it right
I enjoy shytting on the main roster and Kevin Dunn as much as the next guy, but a lot of these gimmicks that flop on the main roster flop because they're one-dimensional and would eventually get old anywhere, not because of any incompetence. You think a flabby guy who is a motivational speaker, a Russel Brand ripoff with a party bus, a homo in furry boots and a furry selfie stick, or a Dominican guy who just likes to dance..Are viable long term characters that can evolve into chasing the world title?

Looked like Shin had a long sleeve of this and I think the colors were flipped

Knew Shinsuke's entrance wouldn't disappoint, shyt still had me in awe though :lawd:

Sasha front row watching Nakamura :nakareally:

Very good main event. Wasn't as great as I expected, thought the first half was just there and didn't really mean much nor wasn't very compelling to watch, kinda surprised those two didn't clicked instantly but it's whatever, there was enough good stuff in the match to make it a worthy last match to this show. Gotta admit though, I hope some agent in WWE starts telling Nakamura to sell his fukking leg once in a while, it was annoying when he did it in New Japan and it's even worse when he does it in NXT.

We got a new champ, puro gang stand up! :purogang:



Smackdown has the worst luck. I was sure we were getting the loser of this match and it seems Nakamura broke Joe's jaw :mjcry: :damn: D-Bry gonna have to create the "Pure Title" on SD to compete with the Cruiserweight division on RAW and bring in all the available EVOLVE roster to the blue brand. Riddle, Thatcher, Yehi, Gulak, Strong, etc...
The only way Vince can top this at Mania is if God himself comes down and high fives Shinsuke :wow:

Pretty sure Swagamura is already Terry Funk approved :wow:

Mania is gonna have a whole damn orchestra breh :blessed:
