    The guy shooting the video who boos sounds like a reprise of the old "Boo Ben Konop" clip.

    Honestly people boo-ing Ava over Cody can get bent. I saw commenters complaing “the Rock got his daughter a GM position pulling strings.”

    Cue the its still real to me dammit guy.

    I like how in NXT, they sort of have everyone try everything. Go solo. Be in a tag team. Do some vignettes. Try this sort of storytelling.

    God forbid they let someone who’s the daughter of someone who’s great on the mic, you know, handle a speaking role. If she’s a natural on the mic, see where she can go with it. Maybe she’s better suited for a mic than in the ring.

    Seth, you’ve lost to Cody three freakin’ times. You don’t have to ask if he’s better than you or if you’re better than him. It’s him.

    LOL, St. Louis crowd chanting “Rocky sucks.”

    If the Rock comes out wearing his 1996 clothes, I’ll crack up.

    I'll buy that story. Gotta have some spare props from the Young Rock set.

    I did like Cole asking, "Is it 1996?"

    The Creeds are the reincarnation of classic Steiner Bros. They are amazing for being so relatively new at the game.

    But the qualifier between DIY and the Bate/Dunne on Friday? Yes please. Vince is probably rolling over in the grave of his career seeing four guys who are essentially cruiserweights in a match like that.

    Holy shit, that was a great finish to the tag team match. Not talking about the sequence itself, but about Ciampa pushing Gargano off the pin to take it for himself. I thought it was one of those "teasing dissension" angles, then realized it was because Ciampa was the legal man and he had to get the pin for DIY to actually win the match. That's either great attention to detail or a hell of a heads-up save by Ciampa. Either way, it was freaking brilliant.

    It didn’t even seem like it was a tag match with the eight guys just battling each other and hitting high spots. I was wondering why it mattered that Ciampa was the legal man.

    R-Truth has had one match at WrestleMania that wasn't a battle royal or multi-man match (with Morrison vs. ShowMiz) -- FOURTEEN years ago.

    Whatever happens with the tag belts at the Chamber, PLEASE give me an Awesome Truth win at Mania.
