(Everyone should stop being afraid to start threads.)

There's a PPV starting at the top of the hour. Chat about it here.

I'm in. Checked the card. Whatever. I'm still in.

Amazing they released Samos Joe still. Makes me sad; loved him and I don't care what anyone says.

In for the occasional match, likely just the main but we will see

Did Corey Graves try to cover up a bunch of tattoos on his left arm by tattooing over them all?

Or has his arm always looked like that?

Three way women's match to start the show.

Asuka's move where she gets her opponent on their knees and she stands there and kicks them in the chest seems pretty risky with all the implants in the WWE women's division.

Asuka is offended that Rhea tried to pin Charlotte. Seems legit.

I cant stop picturing somebody accidentally getting their finger in Rhea's guage holes and ripping through.

Yuck

Chris Farley does something similar to someone in the classic movie Airheads.

Three way matches tend to be boring to me. Not sure what the general public thinks.

I remember Airheads being worthless, but admittedly I only saw it the once and that was ~25 years ago.

Some three-way matches work, but I haven't loved this one despite liking all three of the workers.

I think the big problem is Ripley seems to have no impact behind any of her moves.

A pumphandle slam is a terrible finisher.

Where the hell did Chatlotte go after she kicked Asuka in the face?

Vince figured out he was leaving money on the table by not having a pointing spot at least once a week.

Michael Cole still awful, but who's this other dude?

Also, Airheads... probably a little aggressive to call it a "classic," but it's good dumb fun. I mean, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, & Brendon Fraser in a rock band!?

That's really quite an outfit, Rey.

Re: Airheads, I'll just take your word for it since I don't really remember it (beyond the fact that I did remember the premise). I don't really like Brendan Fraser.

This Rey match is not doing anything for me.

I watched Halloween Havoc '95 today, so I was hoping.

That sucked.

Anyway, it seems like every wrestler in the company should have probably gone to the effort of randomly draping themselves awkwardly over the second rope in random matches against everyone when Rey started doing the 619 a couple of decades ago. It never fails to take me out of a match when I'm slapped across the face by the fact that wrestlers only end up in that position when they're wrestling specifically Rey Mysterio.

Lol talk about no impact. That frog splash looked like an infant landing on the great Khali

Yeah it really did. Might as well have just done the finish with Warrior putting his boot on Savage's chest for the three-count.

I checked out pretty hard for all that. Hate Rey, hate Dominick.
