Insane Lucha this week.
Puma vs Moth was okay, not bad but kinda meaningless.
Davari vs Texano was kinda meh, Davari's Persian club owner gimmick reminds me of the 300 South Park spoof.
The Crew vs Angelico & Son of Havok was crazy. The final spot is so crazy I had New Jack flashbacks. Coast2Coast can kiss that spots taint.
8/10 it's filling my WWE void nicely.
Rusev in my opinion is the best heel in wwe, Seth (&Kane and/or Show) stuff has had me skipping the first & last 20 or so minutes of Raw and I gotta say it makes the show 100x more enjoyable.

So anyone think Owens gets a good reception vs Cena? Or just Cena boos? I'm guessing the latter and the match ending in smoz.
///
Edit: New News for people with Destination America, in addition to TNA/Impact moving to Wednesdays @9, @8 they will be showing new Ring of Honor!!!
Wednesday is now Wrestling day officially.
WWE network airs new NXT, TNA & ROH on destination America, & Lucha Underground on El Rey... So happy.

Originally posted by Henry_PymI honestly don't know whether it was a lost or a decent win for WWE to evolutionize their company to what it is today. Out with the old(including fans no less) and in with the new(use of social media and all that other stuff).
I do watch more than the E, but honestly I enjoy Lucha the most right now.
Holy F-U-C-K Lucha was on point this week.
The weakest match of Mundo vs Aerostar was great, but not anything innovating. Still a great match.
Puma vs Hernandez shut me up on him not still having "it", tremendous match and both men did thier parts equally.
Fenix vs Muertes was brutal as hell, my only issue with this match is that it just followed a small guy vs monster heel match so not a lot of diversity. That said the finish of this match would make the most blood thirsty ECW fanboy squee with glee.
The band this week was Los Rayobak... I don't speak Spanish so I'll assume they are called the Rybacks.
10/10 it's insane WWE passed on Puma, that guy is $
Really solid Raw tonight my only issues were in the divas match & with PTP
Cena & Owens is making each other better, I loved both promos tonight.
Reigns did solidly in all his matches, but it was a bit much.
Zigs vs Kingston was good, but the 6 man had issues. Young using heel tactics and Titus is still sloppy.
7/10

Originally posted by P-Geyserthe Divas division is horrid right now, are the Bellas bad? They are cheating, but also playing to the crowd. Is Paige a bad girl? She is very brutal and she acts like a typical heel... Wtf!
Pretty shitty ending to that divas match. I was really looking forward to seeing Paige capture the title, but NOPE. How long will we have to endure Bella's reign.
Originally posted by Henry_PymIt seems that the Bella's are turning heel while Paige is back to being face. I have no idea where Naomi is going.

So in case you didn't watch the SCSA podcast on the network, it was mostly talking about Vince Sr. and how the DDT turned from a finish to a move guys hardly sell. The last few minutes were interesting with Austin outright stating that if he is going to have a match at wrestlemania he has 1 condition, that it be a Texas Death Match! He then went on to challenge Brock to the match.
Are we excited?
Originally posted by TheHulk😂 I agree.
Oh damn, get to the basement because it truly is the end of times 😑
ROH desperately needs to step up their presentation. It's rough to look at. I'll give it a second chance but honestly I struggled to stay tuned in as the wrestlers struggled to tell stories new fans could invest in... They are recapping long rivalries and PPV that most people haven't seen.
N/A hopeful that they will improve.

TNA was a mixed bag, Spud is not "must watch" and the constant chase of a heel who is getting screwed by a douchey champ... Bad, Bad booking! EC3 is great but he & Gail Kim are the only wrestlers I like.
2/10 EC3 is the best heel in wrestling, but he has garbage faces to work with.
