- Live band, huh? Last one I remember was Saliva at WM17, or maybe Limp Bizkit. They're pretty meh. Sponsorship from Rocket League too
- I forgot Nigel McGuinness was doing commentary at NXT now. I approve. I also forgot Percy Watson was back, but I couldn't give a shit about that one. Slightly thrown by a Mexican wrestler not having a cliche Mexican theme. Gargano is still a stud, and Almas looks bland as fuck, save a nice finishing move. Bigger & stronger than most Mexicans WWE have tried, too. Percy Watson is shit as a colour commentator.
- Billie Kay looks so much more plastic than she did when she was Jessie McKay
Nikki Cross still has the same charisma she had on the indies even in a promo video. Announcements about trending worldwide are such a small-time, TNA/GFW-esque move, but then again this is the company that tells everyone there are 100,000 people in a 55,000 seat arena every WrestleMania.
- Authors of Pain's ring gear
They look like kids who've made shit TMNT costumes & lost the shells. Then they take the masks off & they look like Roman Reigns at a green rally. One of them just looks like D-Lo Brown after a billion PEDs, even ignoring the clothes. Speaking of mad ring gear though, why is Alexander Wolfe wearing tights made from the big top of a circus tent? Obviously a fan of the Nikki Cross table spot, but that's a shitty, weak looking finisher. AOP look like another generic team of big, powerful guys. Corey Graves getting the Game of Thrones reference in at the end was lame, but still 1000 times better than anything Percy Watson will offer all night.

- The contrast of Neville looking like the most miserable hipster of all time & Nakamura was pretty stark. Oh, and Kalisto isn't dead, so that's reasssuring I guess. Now for him to fuck off to nowhere again for six months.
- JR calling Itami's match, rather than either of the title matches seems odd, but I'm not going to complain about getting some JR on top of a match which should be good in the first place. Oh, there's another live band. This one sounds like Zach De La Rocha decided to go full metal. Hang on,
that was the same band? Jesus. Solid match - Aleister Black is legit as fuck.
- Womens match was pretty sloppy at times, and not really up to much in general. Didn't get to see much of what makes Asuka so good, and I've never really been that fussed by Ember Moon beyond her finisher. Speaking of which, the Eclipse (not surprised they didn't let her keep calling it the O-Face) in this one was pretty much just chucked in randomly with no build to the moment. I just want to see Kimber Lee (can't remember what she's called now) take on Asuka, as their match at the SHIMMER I went to was fucking incredible.
- Has Bobby Roooooooooo's entrance always taken as long as The Undertaker's? I got bored about 10mins into this match & didn't really pay attention to it, but it was probably okay. Not sure why the ref stopped Drew going out after Roode, aside from setting up the next spot, obviously.
Can't help noticing the commentators are doing a PWG now & calling dives by their technical names, rather than just calling everything a suicide dive.

Odds on this ROH stable getting Nigel on board quicksharp?
