Rhea warning Carmelo to stay out of Judgment Day business? Oh, lord, they're giving the NXT belt to Corbin tonight, are they?

 

Seriously. As they noted in that video, that match alone should have turned his brain into scrambled eggs.

 

Since they dropped the 2.0 and the Nickelodeon color scheme, and HBK firmly took the book, NXT has been on fire.

Never did I expect a "This is awesome" chant out of anything involving Corbin, but even he was giving it tonight in a callback to his Lone Wolf era.

 

The Dark Side on JYD was a tough one. The highs he was on with Bill Watts in Mid-South, then never being able to get over the hump in WWF, setting him on the downward spiral.

Sad twist that his daughter also died prematurely of a heart issue.

Great insight from the likes of Teddy Long, Koko B. Ware, Jim Ross, Ted DiBiase and Tony Atlas.

JYD's last wrestling appearance was in my backyard at ECW's Wrestlepalooza in 1998 at the Cobb County Civic Center, just a month before his death.

 

For those wondering what Armandooo Alejandroooo, Estttrrreadddaaa is up to, look no more:

 

Who knew Armando Estrada was of Arab descent? But considering Muhammad Hassan is Italian and Yokozuna and the Sultan were Samoan...

 

Sure was nice for Mox to save his blood for free TV instead of the smaller PPV crowd.

 

I think this is the first time Renee and Mox have been on TV together in their capacity as a couple and not just interviewer and interviewee.

When they teased the relationship when Ambrose feuded with Miz in WWE, I think they were still mainly kept apart.

 

And where the hell is Kenny Omega?

 

Probably selling the pain he went through Sunday?

So, we have Mox, Claudio, Yuta and Takeshita, but I can't imagine Danielson will be ready for Blood & Guts in three weeks. Who would they add to equal the four Elites + Kingston?

And can they give us a women's match to finally end this Outcasts/Originals feud?

 

Heel Jungle Boy is a good try, but he came off more like a bootleg MJF.

 

And why do they have Sammy come out for his cue card bit, then bring out the women for a squash match, then have to bring Sammy back out for the main event?
