The booking and handling of NXT call ups is still all over the fucking place but Smackdown was, taking everything in isolation, pretty good this week.
Not keen on KO just having the Stunner as his finisher, if that's what's happening. Especially if it's going to come with Todd Phillips shouting "Oh hell yeah!" for however long Owens is pretending to be a babyface.
Nah KO is perfect for the stunner. His ROH character was ruthless!
I just prefer the Pop-Up Powerbomb. I mean if they're going to have that (especially onto the apron) as his final resort finisher type thing that's fine I guess. There just aren't enough powerbombs around these days.
Everything is a fucking kick.
Both as a finisher?
If there's a finisher you can do OUTTANOWHERE then that will become the main one.
Given how barely anybody's finisher actually counts for shit anymore I personally quite like the idea of people having a main big move that will win them the majority of matches and then something on a grander scale that they pull out for the big occasions.
Heel Neville did this perfectly, using the Red Arrow both to tease the crowd but still using it in matches where he just wanted to put the fucker away.
+1 for more powerbombs needed.
Jacknife / release powerbombs as performed by Kevin Nash can fuck off though given it frequently looked like he'd just lost interest halfway through.
I would be well up for some extra Takeovers.

Shiiiiiiit.
There were rumours that he needed surgery but I was hoping it was minor.
Even by WWE standards referring to Erick Rowan as a '7 footer' is some going.
Round the middle maybe.

It's official:
Following a medical evaluation today, Ciampa has been scheduled for an anterior cervical fusion
Adam Cole to win the title?
I hope so.
Gargano is being talked up but seeing as he's full time going to SD/RAW afterwards they'd have to strip him instantly.
I dont think Dream needs it at all to be honest.
I am worried Gargano will be burried
I think they could have built on the Gargano/Ciampa thing. With Ciampa out for up to a year I think Johnny will be headed to 205 soon.
I think Cole would have been moving up from NA to NXT title soon anyway so he'd be an obvious choice and it ties in with UE's stated aim for the year too.
Highlights from Ospreay v White were cool. Ospreay has to be a future IWGP Heavyweight champ imo.
Okada V Elgin was a belter! The New Japan Cup has been great so far and I have no idea who will win at this stage.
There was a point watching Fastlane yesterday where I convinced myself I was having a pretty good time but then realised it was basically that they'd put everything that passed for the good stuff in middle. They had a particularly bad night for satisfying endings and if this current business with Kofi is anything to go by Vince's current gimmick is 'dementia.'
Though my absolute favourite thing about it was the AJ / Keith thing.
Keith randomly appears to attack Elias for literally no reason, and then he gets jumped by AJ who has presumably been following him around all night like a pervert just in case he hits the ring.
New Japan Cup is great @Ian get amongst it!
I imagine you going to WWE house shows when they come your way, not to attend, but to stand outside with NJPW pamphlets like a Jehovah's Witness.
"Have you thought about Tomohiro Ishii recently?"
It's like an intervention.
'Can you spare a moment to talk about wrist control.'
That is pretty rude hey?
By the way Aussie wrestling is going off!
Just got our tickets for Royal Quest in August.
Word is Demon vs Phenom at WM.
Whoever he's facing I just want this to be Undertaker's last match.
Everyone feels the same.
Also if that's true then lol at Balor bringing out the facepaint for what'll end up being a one-way, two week feud.
Still pissed he laid his hat in the ring and all that shit when I went to WM in Orlando only to fucking redo it anyways.
The last month or two of the Gargano / Ciampa feud has been a really weird way to get to the point that they're now at.
I was in America during Fastlane (not for it, thankfully...) and my debit card expired so I lost the network, but I have no desire to pay £10 to get it back and watch it. May stick it on around Mania time or something, or may just give it a miss. Didn't sound like it was up to much from the results, with Becky Vs Charlotte sounding especially shit.
It's definitely not worth getting FOR Fastlane. There are a few fun matches that may be worth a go around Mania time when you get the Network again if you've got an hour to kill but nothing to write home about.
I let mine lapse whilst on holiday too but I'll get it back today or tomorrow. Not specifically for Fastlane, more so for NXT ofc.
You will not find a more fun match than Cabana / Yano on Sunday, and no greater contrast with Sanada / Suzuki that followed it.
I also didn't realise that Mikey Nicholls was one half of TM61, not sure the NJ Cup constitutes spending more time with the family but he's been alright so far.
Finally catching up on what I've missed and thank fuck they've finally turned Rousey heel.
Fucking Jezza.
What's the fucking point?
