    The crowd popping huge in the opening match for HEADLOCK FUCKING TAKEOVERS reminded me why I fell in love with Pro Wrestling.

    Brock is the "Wrestling may be scripted but I'm the realest shit" kind of guy. With Brock in the ring you never know what's scripted or shoot. The way he made Orton busted him open by using elbows looks totally legitimate shoot move. He's the kind of guy who definitely put over if he sees the opponent has true potential and a money maker.

      I get that wrestling is subjective, but I don't know how anyone could walk away from that match believing it was anything less than a solid opener with a hot crowd. They worked their butts off and Io looked like a star in there thanks, in large part, to the way the crowd was backing her. I agree with Brian saying it was one of the best matches on the entire card and would absolutely put it over the Cody and Brock match.

      Also she has the case for best Mixed match ever. I hate those matches normally and they make me really uncomfortable but in the wacky world of Lucha Underground with (a way cooler version of) Pentagon it actually worked!

      At least she can remember which side of her body is supposed to be hurt. Seth Felicity Rollins struggles with that. He probably gets defeated by threaded couplings of various kinds, water taps, screw-caps, old-school door locks, turn indictors, etc. on a regular basis, too.

    I think WWE have hit the biggest jackpot they've had since Rock/Cena by Increasing their show pressense outside of NA. Sure Canada shows are usually more lively but it's usually only for the one or two Canadian guys. But outside NA there is no major promotion (NJPW doesn't even count, especially since Japan culture doesn't lend itself towards crowd events) so people are starved for Wrestling. Castle was bigger then SummerSlam with all that hype, and Puerto Rico just has those wild latino fans.
    NAs trends of being sanitised and need to be perfect doesn't lend itself to wrestling, and it's not the best market for it anymore since major entertainment went hollywood. I can definitely see a move to at least 5 International PPVs a year in WWEs future, hell, maybe one day they'd pull the trigger on Mania going somewhere else if they could slip out of the American Entertainment industry BS.

      i can understand Jims perspective 🤣🤣🤣🤣 inside the squared circle a story is told sometimes theres no story and somethings thrown together. I think some wrestlers try to work according to the crowd instead of having a match. They want the crowd to pop but thats not what having a good match is about. And when we know which wrestlers just want to pop the crowd we fast forward. And yeah time can be a problem but even that should mean power moves are used and theres an eagerness to put the opponent away not do a cheesy roll up or count out. Samoa Joe was a great ring general Gunther most definitely is Bayleys got a great eye for the ring as well. Depends on if they choose to be cheesy or if they want to give something life

      About “let’s give females a chance” instead holding women to a standard. Let’s be honest. Most female wrestlers are trash. It’s only a few like Rhea that can actually wrestle well. The rest of them instead of trying to improve they complain in the internet until wwe finally take time from men wrestlers who are held at a higher standar and work harder just to give it to them.

    I WOULD LIKE TO PREFACE THIS BY SAYING ITS ONLY VIABLE IF OMOS CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
    For Omos, I think Jim actually pointed out a way they could build him without realizing it. If he does continue to improve, when they're ready to start pushing him as a legitimate contender, just put him on a massive winning streak. Tell the story that he came into WWE with amazing genetic gifts and athletic tools, but it has taken him some time to gain experience as a wrestler and learn from his mistakes. Now that he has learned and grown, he's able to put everything together and dominate.

      I'm not sure that would work. Traditionally, you can't introduce a "giant" as somebody who gets beaten by everybody, then show him improve. It goes against the entire point of having a "giant" in pro wrestling.
      If he isn't established as an unstoppable overwhelming force from the start, he's not a "giant" - he's just a very tall clumsy guy who should have stuck to getting fed the ball for dunks in basketball.
