Sabre had ONE good match, Dar had none. Why did they hire Dar?
Perkins was dull in TNA, and dull so far in this tournament, how does he have so many years of experience and been all over? if it wasn't for Swan being so over, that match would've been a 2/5. Very weak episode. I've seen enough, the best made it to Raw and NXT. Not worth the slow bootleg streams. Don't care for anyone else on here.
Should just given it to Kendrick and made it an angle on Raw, with like Neville or Swann being champ.

Is it me or has every body in this damn tournament done the knee bar at least once?
Gran Metalik has signed a WWE deal and will be relocating his family to the US. He’s been working in Mexico as Mascara Dorada to finish up dates prior to the move.

Gran Metalik, Akira Tozawa, Jack Gallagher, Cedric Alexander, Brian Kendrick, Tommaso Ciampa, TJ Perkins, Rich Swann, Noam Dar and Johnny Garganoare the names set to launch the Cruiserweight division on Raw.
The tournament is said to be Kota Ibushi’s if he signs a deal with the company. Ibushi had previously said he would be interested in a part time deal, but WWEwants the cruiserweights to be full time. If Zack Sabre Jr. signs he is also another choice to win. He hasn’t signed at this time, and it doesn’t look like he will.
Thats corny, penciled these 2 in the finals from the jump and now its looking like neither one of them is signing.

Perkins is a good wrestler but doesn't really grasp in-ring psychology. They completely fukked him over too having him go over two fan favorites in a row, in the exact same way no less (opponent has issues with his knee which makes it really convenient that Perkins uses a knee bar submission).
Then he's not a good wrestler.

You know what I mean. The guy got skills but he wrestles too much by the numbers. Of course by the numbers is the WWE style so he'll probably adapt to the main roster a lot faster than the other cruiserweights.
Swann should have won the tournament. He's already mega over, has tons of charisma, and has been in NXT for a while now. He would have easily made a transition to the main roster for Raw as the face of the Cruiserweight Division.
you'd think with the filler NXT shows they've been having lately Oney would've had a match
this match was kinda sloppy, Cedric tryna do too much

I didn't like the ZSJ/Dar match at all. It was a chore to match and it felt like two guys trying their hardest to get their stuff out there. Dar gotta stop doing that horrible wrist kissing taunt. I can't really buy any of ZSJ's submission attempts...they look so harmless and easy to get out of.
I disagree with @stro, Swann was the best seller out of the 4 featured last episode. Dude sold and acted like his knee was crumbling every 30 seconds. Crowd was alive for that match, they connected to Swann and believed he was in peril. I loved that Swann/TJP match. It was fun and easy to watch.
@Jmare007 I just finished that Thatcher vs Riddle match you sent btw. Matt Riddle overacts but he's pretty good. He's going to be really good in the WWE someday
They really should've got Thatcher instead of ZSJ for this tournament. He does everything ZSJ does, but better.

The fukk he did. Grabbing your knee before and after doing rolling thunder into a handspring moonsault is not selling well. At all. "Oh shyt I can't walk, hold up, let me run around and jump as high as I possibly can and maybe do a dive or two".

And Riddle just started pro wrestling last year breh
when he learns how to sell better (specially WHEN to sell) it's a fukking wrap, dude is special. I hope he doesn't go full retard like so many indy dudes have, potential is sky high. Him and Yehi are my faves right now 
I think they wanted Thatcher but dude just doesn't want to do pro wrestling full time, I read he has a full time job that pays him well and unless he gets a killer offer it's not likely he'll be leaving EVOLVE/indys. To me, Gulak, Busick (Lorcan
) and Thatcher have always been better than ZBJ.
