    WWE put out the latest episodes of its Southpaw Regional Wrestling series on YouTube, and all I have to say is '80s Renee Young. :cool:

    Dean Ambrose is a very lucky man if she dresses that way for him in private.

    Why is NXT a million times better at booking women than Raw or Smackdown? I think they missed a golden opportunity tonight by not giving Amber Moon the win, but the match was so much better than most women's matches on the main roster recently.

    The stories are simple and they don't go over board with the promos. If the Moon/Asuska contract signing from the last NXT weekly show was a 20 minute deal on Raw you'd have the internet saying they can't talk like Bayley. That match last night was pretty good but the Nikki Cross/Asuska match was better.

    Really it's why NXT is a million times better at booking most everything....they keep it simple. Five matches on a 2 1/2 hour show. Summerslam has I think 11-13 (depending on preshow) in four or so hours.....with a lot more in between video packages and blah blah blah.

    They have stars (Bliss got called up without every having a Takeover match IIRC) that don't make Takeover and there's what 4-5 a year? Whereas the main roster has a PPV every month and goes bonkers to shoe horn every talent onto the show (hello Orton/Rusev). Makes everything feel messier and jumbled.

    Although I will say I hope NXT doesn't dip too far into the Indy wet dream market. A lot of fans are going to let lost in the dust if you have to be familiar with ROH history to get the storylines and alliances.
    Somebody catch me up on OReilly and Fish? Were they in the Bullet Club with Cole? Friends with Cole pre Club? I have no idea who they are and I feel like I completely missed the point of last night.

    Cole and O'Reilly were partners at one point as Future Shock. They broke up and O'Reilly and Fish formed reDRagon, one of the greatest tag teams ever. Cole was part of Bullet Club but O'Reilly and Fish never were, and I don't think the trio ever worked together in the same faction.

    Good luck to most of the "main card" following that preshow tag title match

    That WWE championship match was a stunner. Guess they continue the feud through Survivor Series and give Nakamura the title there?
    I just wish they'd give Jinder a clean win or two. If you're going to give the title to a guy like him, at least build him up and give him credibility.

    Has Brock ever bumped like this for anyone in his career?

    Holy shit.

    And Braun just made it even more awesome with a flying chair and dumping that table on Brock.
