Ok, I change my vote, best promo for the year is Mox.

 

I guess I wonder what they're doing with Jade when they've got Lash Legend doing everything they'd do with Jade, only better

 

The Iron Survivor concept is kinda awesome. They've also booked this match damn near to perfection...no idea who any of these women are, and I understand their characters instantly.

 

This Lash is like a whole different wrestler than the one that started in NXT two years ago green as goose shit.

 

Did he have beef with Shawn? Thought it was just Hunter.

 

He didn’t but it’s still weird lol

 

The best match type in wrestling was Aztec Warfare. A very close 2nd is this concept.

 

The last 10 minutes of that were wild

 

So one time here in San Antonio before Punk left WWE, they had a dark segment for “Shawn Michaels Appreciation Night”. All the faces came out and were celebrating Shawn and Taker was there and shit like that. Well Punk came out and said he was probably going to get in trouble because he’s a heel and breaking kayfabe but didn’t care because he wanted to honor Shawn. Said some really nice things. You could tell it wasn’t planned and Hunter did look kinda annoyed

 

Booker T is real bad at commentary still; and Lexis King is still a charisma void

 

I can already picture Hunter’s face. Just seeing Punk be so happy-go-lucky in WWE is odd but I do think he and Shawn have a legitimate admiration for each other. Shawn speaks nicely of him and Punk looked up to both him and Bret.

 

And his hair somehow gets worse every week.

 

What’s the “ohhh yasssss” count at tonight?

 

Way too damn high. There was a sick sequence in the Womens Iron Survivor where Lash was on a roll, and on the final spot he did the "shucky ducky" call...like, dude, stop making this match about yourself.

 

Someone said he's going for WCW Jericho, and now I cant unsee it.

 

A lot of fans were fucking awful to Lash when she started out so I’m glad she’s making progress.

 

Yeah, without a doubt, best concept WWE has. Both of these matches are so well booked so far.

 

BIG STRONG BOI

 

In kayfabe, its nonsense, but that no hands spin is such a cool looking spot

 

Knowing nothing about him, why is Bronn presented so strong? He's the 2nd smallest dude in this match.

 

Currently at a no-ring deathmatch show inside a skatepark and someone just came out to a song on the THPS4 soundtrack. This is my peak wrestling.

 

Longest reigning NXT 2.0 champ (two time champ at that) and basically the original poster boy for the rebrand.

 

Forgot he was the un-named Steiner. Still, he's the least dynamic dude in thsi match to me. Briggs/Dijak look WAY more impressive in terms of size/fluidity, and even Bate is presented as strong as hell.

 

So, so smart that they killed that crowd only for Trick to do the babyface massive comeback

 

That match was wild
