    Crikey. I saw Tanahashi's post-match conference from the other night and he gave a long speech on changing the perception of that title. Maybe it's getting elevated in status.

    Tana is the man to do it. Takagi, Ospreay, Cobb, Suzuki, ZSJ, Goto, Ishii is a pretty solid division.

    The Tana thing is partly storyline. Shingo said he didn't deserve the belt (lol) so Tanahashi said he would wear it over his shoulder until he had earned the right to wear it properly.

    Speaking of promos, Okada after Castle Attack was great. Perfect simple face promo.

    At least the Miz was true to his promise of not being a transitional champion...

    Raw sounds like it was an absolute mess last night but at least Bobbo is the champ.

    And I might watch Sheamus / Drew. Sheamus has been on a bit of a roll recently.

    Happy for Big Bob.

    He's never done well in WWE (and I never saw his TNA run) but from the bits I've seen The Hurt Business & MVP have really elevated him and made him look proper menacing.

    He looked great when he came out and took out Drew after Elimination Chamber.

    He was ECW champion and dropped it to Vince McMahon. He peaked there.

    I really enjoyed his match with McIntyre last year too, aside from the garbage ending. I want that at Mania but more of it and a clean finish. Ideally Lashley winning but I'm not too fussy there.

    It's weird they don't lean into that stuff the same way they did with Drew's comeback really. The beautiful story of a man who failed because they wanted him to spearhead a brand that was doomed from the beginning and left because he was sick of Michael Hayes' racism.

    Lashley was a Triple Crown champion of sorts with TNA and from was booked like a dangerous MMA bloke.

    Lol

    Not that it was much of a war in the first place and the whole thing left NXT in an odd position so hopefully they can recapture their form of a few years ago

    I wonder if Vince was actually hesitant to move it because he's worried than NXT running unopposed could draw in bigger numbers than RAW.

    It should do if you're judging purely on quality ofc.

    It's bound to be the network moving it, the whole point of putting it on Wednesday was to take viewers from AEW and it's not like Vince suddenly doesn't care about that anymore.

    'Hall of Fame-worthy' would seem to rule out people actually in the Hall of Fame.

    I would only take Steiner in a managerial role. Seeing his last run with TNA/Impact was .... sad.

    This was a great PPV up until the ladder match.

    A ladder match where you had to grab the brass ring to win.
    Your hall of fame signing being a c tier wwe guy who was in the rumble last month.
    Awful cinematic match.

    I guess they forced themselves into a cinematic match so they could put the ring together?

    The brass ring match felt like the Yano King of Pro Wrestling gimik that belongs at the start of the show.

    IMO they desperately need a G1 style tournment to let some other the blokes get big meaningful wins against each other.

    Maybe the explosion was meant to be symbolic of Christian being the HALL OF FAME LEVEL signing.

    I'm going to guess they pride themselves on being live which means you can't splice in some stock footage of an explosion. Or a tiny model of a ring being blown up. Given the choice, which one would you pick?

    You use smoke/dry ice to cover it. Like every rock concert ever for the last 70 years.

    I truly hope that something didn't work as expected, as opposed to that being what was planned.
