Only got through about half the show so far:


Does Jericho have an injury or something? Seemed like he had no strength and balance issues that whole match. Maybe he was drunk. Gotta assume the WAR COUNCIL thing will be MJF kicking Jericho out of the Inner Circle or at least attempting to. That whole thing has really run its course, imo. LAX just floating around doing absolutely nothing, whatever momentum Wardlow had has long dissipated, somehow despite working weekly with Jericho, MJF is actually in a lower spot than he was a year ago, the slow burn Sammy face turn was botched because they were having him do some henious heel shyt with Hardy at the same time (and Hardy turned immediately after while Sammy was taken off TV for what seems like too long at this point). The whole Inner Circle thing has been pretty bleh from the jump, really. You know Jericho really thinks he's elevating these guys but I don't think anyone in the group has really been elevated at all besides Sammy and I'm quite sure he's going to be lost in the shuffle by the time he returns and the Inner Circle is pretty much done.

Lotta cool shyt in the battle royal, although also a whole lot of people I've never seen and heard of since they're Dark exclusive and it was feeling a bit like World War 3 when WCW would be pulling up the real randoms just to fill the rings up. Hopefully Jungle Boy is able to fill out a bit over this year. Fenix lmao.

If you told me that Shida match was a half hour, I'd have believed it. Real surprised to see it was only 15 minutes. All of her matches feel like they go on forever and I don't know what the deal is. She's booked so dominant to the point of it feeling lazy (which was also how they booked Riho and Nyla as champ as well) and her reign feels like it has lasted 2 years already.

Rusev looked like a fukking monster :blessed: where the fukk has that guy been so far? Looks and moves like an absolute beast and no one on the roster looks like they could credibly beat his ass.

Hopefully Matt Hardy is going to transition to no in ring action anymore. He's such a physical wreck and everything he does looks like he's in agony. I would say the same goes for Jeff anytime I've seen him in the past 2-3 years.

Ladder match was ugly as hell. Just ugly bumps and guys doing a real bad job of just obviously getting in position for whatever the next spot is. This and the battle royale really point out how little work they do with mid card guys. I think there's been a battle royal to determine a tag team contender 4 times now.

Street fight was cool and definitely suffered from commentary. If there was going to be any commentary at all, it should have been occasional reactions of horror to some of the crazier shyt. Full time commentary like it was a normal match didn't fit and both distracted and detracted. You knew Stang meant business because he came to the fight wearing carpenter jeans. Who knows how edited and how many takes and breaks it took, but Sting looked better than he did the whole like...last 3-4 years of his TNA run. I hope he can get one last match in front of a real crowd. The powerbomb reversal was real fukkin' spooky, though. :picard: Dude just barely didn't land right on his fukkin' head.

Barbed wire match was really pretty fine I thought. Anyone that has actually watched those matches know that they usually actually suck so just being decent enough was fine to me. Shame about the final explosion though :mjlol:

I feel a lot worse for all the performers involved than the fans in attendance or me personally feeling like I got screwed out of some spectacle. I'm sure everyone in the back and Eddie and Mox in the ring were :sadcam::mjcry::to::sadbron::shaq2: when their shyt turned out to be less pyro than entrance pyro
