    Catching up on some World Cup stuff from this week, so much good stuff so far but Ospreay / Bailey (not that one) might be my new favourite thing.

    Australia's own Will Ospraey is a living GOAT.

    The whole thing has been really good, not least because I'd never seen people like Keith Lee, Jurn Simmons, Mike Bailey.

    Ospreay Vs Mysterio, Ospreay Vs Bailey and Ospreay Vs Kushida were comfortably the 3 best matches of the tournament.

    So glad I went to 2 nights of it, it was incredible.

    THERE'S TOO MUCH GOOD WRESTLING.

    That Reigns / Cena bit was really entertaining. Kayfabe in bits all over the place.

    Reigns' best mic work in terms of lengthier promos as well.

    EDIT: Not that I'm saying it was great or that that's a very high benchmark, I should stress.

    Mae Young Classic is off to a bit of a shit start from the two episodes I've seen, but then the CWC was a bit shit and throwaway early doors too so I'll not dismiss it yet.

    I felt sorry for him. Cena obliterated him.

    I don't know what they were trying to achieve with it but whatever it was had to have been destroyed by having the tag together right after.

    Reigns's main point about Cena was the complete opposite of the truth. "You can be whatever they want so you're a fake ass bitch". No... Cena has been one thing forever, that's the problem.

    Cena is the GOAT, though.

    Reigns was absolutely gone when Cena mentioned about him not being able to cut a promo still.

    The bit about Cena being dragged back because Reigns can't do his job correctly was so good and true also.

    Next week The Rock should come out with Cena's quotes about him going Hollywood written on his arm. Give Jim Cornette the heart attack that finishes him off

    First round of the MYC wasn't bad. The commentary is fucking atrocious though. Even JR's not great but it turns out they had to re-do the commentary for a bunch of it so that would explain why he sounds a bit robotic. If that was Lita's best effort at the second attempt though....

    That's shit. The two shows need to have separate announce teams.

    Right, and AJ is the best wrestler in the company - should he be on both shows as well?

    Holy shit, that bit on Raw was INSANE. I mean....... opening with a match?

    It was obvious Big Show was going through the wall of the cage as soon as the match was announced.

    It's sounding like TNA could be heading down the tubes again.

    Jeff Jarrett's has been made to take 'indefinite leave' to focus on personal matters by the person from Anthem, two different companies own the rights to 'GFW' and 'Impact Wrestling', and now Sports Illustrated are reporting that Anthem are wanting to sell up

    I honestly can't see anyone wanting to buy the Impact/TNA stuff, and Jarrett owns 'GFW', so I'm guessing there's just really the video library - I reckon WWE would want that for the Network at the right price.

    They'll have her undefeated for a short while before having her lose clean / by rollup on TV.

    Curt Hawkins would beat Brock Lesnar if he just cued up someone's entrance music at the right time, the distraction rollup is like a Mortal Kombat fatality.

    A few people have been done by the ol' mahistrol cradle recently too. Zayn got done by a sort-of one of them on Smackdown about 30 seconds into the match that was so devastating he literally didn't even pretend he was trying to kick out.

    I wonder if he's finally given up.

    Well, precisely.

    A ready-made cookie-cutter slow burn underdog World Title story in Zayn, with a guy who the fans like and can do main event quality matches.

    But..... nah, just have him put over Aiden English.

    He probably will, but it'll be yet another sudden "Right, you're allowed to beat main eventers now, mate"-type booking shift.

    See: Mahal, Jinder.

    Zayn was only allowed to beat Corbin so often because Corbin, by WWE booking rules, had to be booked like a fucking arsehole before they put the briefcase on him.

    It completely went over my head that Corbin wasted his briefcase shot on Jinder. The pop at the end of that match was pretty lol.

    I'd completely forgot that Bray Wyatt has been WWE champ too. That OHP match at Wrestlemania was so good, the way he just got battered anyway.

    That's the one. Between that, the unexplained 'trick' of joining Wyatt and then just earning the title shot the same way he would anyway and the haunted house match there can't be too many worse world title feuds in history.

    5 Star Wrestling have signed a deal with Free Sports TV, the new channel on Freeview, from 2018.

    Don't know who wrestles for them, or the format, but extra wrestling on the TV always a plus.

    All caught up on MYC. It became clear that they were setting up a Sane vs. Baszler early doors but it should be an interesting match.

    I think compared to the way they booked CWC one odd thing is how one-sided they've had a number of the matches be, and not necessarily in favour of the winners. It felt like there were a number of matches where they were letting the loser show her stuff so she got a chance to impress because she's going out, and then have the other woman progress to the next round. There have been some really good matches so far though and a few that you'd think it'll be no-brainers for WWE to sign.

    Looking forward to the final.
