Maffew really needs to tone down the Sin Cara bashing a bit. Mocking his botches are fine but to say he's a awful wrestler? Come on.
Especially when the only real botch involving Cara was entirely Ziggler's fault (unless the sunset flip has somehow become a huge botch). Pretty stupid and dickish really.
The editing in that episode wasn't that great. A couple of his subtitles popped up for less than a second, so were pretty easy to miss.
Yeah after watching that spot it was pretty clearly Ziggler at fault. I hope his bitching about it doesn't screw over Cara that much but with the reports of the front office liking him and the top guys wanting to work with him I could see him developing some political power. Of course he deserves his big push but don't fuck up a career over something that was your own fault.
Tensai is best in a tag setting and I hope WWE realizes that. Part of me hopes they'll bring in Karl Anderson just so Dyvim can shoot his tv Elvis style.

Well of course I'm not saying that he's the worst, we already covered the fact that Jinder Mahal is the worst.
I am saying that I believe he isn't very good though.
So I'm assuming you all disagree with the Observer voting Anderson and Tensai tag team of the year in 2011?
Honestly though, from what I've seen of Anderson I don't think he's that bad. Certainly have seen worse.
What. The. Fuck?
Like, Bad Intentions weren't even a bad tag team, you know? Certainly better than TenKoji and the Amazing Land Whales. However the best tag team of any point in any period of time? Naw dog. Not even close.
If the Observer mattered in the slightest I would be concerned that they held this opinion.
Speaking of Khali, he's done for at least two months:
The Great Khali (Dalip Singh) has had a tumor removed from his pituitary gland at UPMC in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, reports TribLive News. Here is an excerpt from the article explaining the procedure:
"The tumor removed during a four-hour procedure on Wednesday led to the growth spurt that caused Singh to achieve a height of 7 feet, 1 inch and a weight of 347 pounds, according to UPMC neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, who led the surgical team.
Maroon said Thursday the tumor causes a condition called acromegaly, which can be fatal if left untreated."
It is expected that it will take Khali around two to three months to recover.
"When I wrestled as Ronin."
I laughed harder than I probably should've done at that part.
Come over to the Dark Side Nirya, if enough of us support him he might even bring back his emo gimmick and tag team with Hook Bomberry...wait.
Seriously though, there is no rational reason to dislike The Perk. And by that I really mean that I refuse to listen to any of the rational reasons to dislike TJ Perkins.
Dark Match: Bo Dallas beat Dean Ambrose with a quick roll-up. That didn't well with a very loud, pro-Ambrose crowd.
Episode 1 taping
(1) Antonio Cesaro beat Derrick Bateman.
(2) Tamina beat Sofia Cortez with a Superfly Splash. Good actual wrestling match.
(3) Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) squashed Jake Carter. After the match, he hit multiple rolling elbows, but Richie Steamboat made the save.
(4) Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel beat Michael McGillicutty & Johnny Curtis. Kinda botchy and fast, but the crowd was into it.
There was a face-off between Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal for "next week" to promote their NXT Title match. Good promos and very intense, which turned into a pullapart brawl. Both men vowed to win.
Episode 2 taping
(1) Hunico & Camacho beat Mike Dalton & Jason Jordan.
The Usos called out The Ascension. Ascension's music hit to distract the Usos, but the Ascension came through the crowd and beat them senseless.
(2) Big E. squashed Chase Donnovan.
Jinder's headgear box was brought out, which meant title match time.
(3) Seth Rollins beat Jinder Mahal to become inaugural NXT champion. The Fink came out to handle ring introductions to give this a really big-time feel. The crowd was pumped. Rollins eventually won with the Black-out after a tremendous 20 minutes. Even Jinder was in top form and Rollins was as good as ever.
Seth cried after winning. Triple H, Dusty Rhodes, and The Fink embraced him on the stage. The entire roster then emerged to carry Seth to the back on his shoulders.
Episode 3 taping
(1) Brodus Clay beat a jobber.
WWE announced they return to Fail Sail on August 9.
(2) Richie Steamboat beat Kassius Ohno via DQ. Ohno was too aggressive the ropes, drawing the DQ. Ricky Steamboat then helped Richie to the back after more brutalization by Ohno.
(3) Paige beat Audrey with a DDT.
(4) Leo Kruger beat Percy Watson.
Jim Ross interviewed Seth Rollins about his NXT Title win without an interruption.
(5) The Ascension beat The Usos. Not bad, but it dragged.
Bonus Match: Big Show beat Alex Riley with the WMD. Both men got great reactions even though Show is heel. They're wasting Riley by not using him on TV, as the crowd is always hot for him. And, that's it. Another good taping.
So Mahal suddenly became not awful at these tapings? I'll believe it when I see it.

NXT thoughts and musings, because why not?
Mahal is working with a solid talent who has an exciting style, literally all he has to do is keep up the pace and Black will do the rest until they actually need to use psychology, then it will all fall to pieces I assume.
P.S I still hate Tyler Black.
Curtis & Bateman should be a regular tag team. Bring back the fun "chicks & America" Bateman and keep Curtis as the super literal, incredibly creepy guy and just have them run as a great little odd couple team and see what kind of mileage they can get out of it. Certainly couldn't be worse than the fucking Ascension.
Speaking of which why are the Usos putting these clowns over? The Usos have a solid look, good heritage, are decent in the ring and actually kind of underrated on the mic. I'd love somebody to give me a good explanation why they're the ones getting the short thrift out of a feud with a penniless man's Brood.
Hero vs Steamboat is such a good idea for a feud. Hero plays a great heel and Steamboat is a brilliant face. Plus Hero is a superb talent in general and if there are any holes in Steamboat's game then he's the perfect guy to mask them.
Honestly can't express how excited I am at the prospect of this being a thing.
That Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel team is sure an exciting thing. It's just a shame it's not the Tyson Kidd/Trent Barreta team that Kidd originally wanted it to be.
For a brief second I hoped the guy twirling fire was MF Doom, then I realised that it pretty clearly wasn't MF Doom, and I was deeply saddened that I was now watching an ICP video with no chance of anything good happening.
Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

Slightly NSFW BOLA promo from Davey Richards and Kyle ORLY.

I want to laugh at the ending, but both Richards and ORLY seem so out of their element. I still found it funny though, and quite bizarre.
