PPV-caliber stuff from Gunther and Owens. Great stuff.

 

Yeah, I enjoyed that. Two longtime veterans putting on a show.

Now I want KO challenging for the IC title.

 

Gunther/Owens
Rollins/Priest
Ricochet/Nakamura

No lack for some awesome matchups tonight. Even the women have had some good showings today. Nothing criminal about Sonya and Becky, and the new girls got a chance to show their stuff against Ronda and Shayna.

 

Dom talking to a Rhodes about doing "Hard Times." That takes cojones.

 

I've enjoyed the nice little touch of them calling Priest the "Punishment" of Judgment Day.

 

The Creeds and Ivy are some of the best things of NXT each week. They're fun as hell.

Ava? She tries hard and lost some time to knee injuries, but the genes haven't fallen down the family tree yet.

 

Holy hell. Seth vs. Bron for the world championship at NXT?!?

 

Damn this sucks. His a&e bio was one of the best of the season

 

Destined to tell Hulk Hogan to go fuck himself in eternity.

 

And the Tony Romo

 

I know this is a common question, but should the Iron Sheik get a 10-bell salute Friday? Pat Patterson was the last one to get the 10 in WWE, and while he had the much closer relationship with WWE (and especially Vince), I'd hazard to say Sheik might've had a greater effect on the business.

 

The case for the Iron Shiek is that he was a participant in one of the most historic matches in WWE history, even if it was as a transitional champion. But when he dropped the belt to Hulk Hogan, that was the beginning of the modern WWE. And he had an all-time post-ring career as a social media presence. He deserves more than an ordinary tribute.
