Crowd has REALLY helped elevate this show.
just have reigns be forever getting screwed out of getting the title

a pretty good Raw
You think they'll pull the trigger next month instead of Mania?
Ideally I would love to see them pass the belt around a bit leading to Mania as the big blow off...but we have Sheamus in the way.
Roman winning the title at SS I would support.

I want to see Sasha more on TV but that's probably not the smartest idea there. Unless she's privately expressed her frustration and this is the only way she thinks her voice is heard.
the VGCW Championship is on the line as Sabin defends against Dracula!
And there will be Fatal Four Way match to determine the number one contender for the VGCW Championship match winner!
that'd be cool
i'd even pay for it
this was fucking great. first time ever I at no point was wishing it was 11 already to just know how it ends and be done.
I don't mean this maliciously btw
I think reigns is pretty great now
I just think it would be an excellent way to keep building him as a babyface

They're considering streaming options and DVD/Bluray boxset options, they just wanted to get season 2 confirmation done first understandably

And we're back...just in time for another six man tag. This time Chaos and their banner man Kazushi Sakuraba take on Bullet Club XXL with their literal banner man Tama Tonga. At Destruction in Kobe Karl Anderson challenged Nakamura for the IWGP Intercontinental Title based on his inexplicable win over him in the G1.
Shinsuke Nakamura, Toru Yano and Kazushi Sakuraba (Chaos) VS Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows and Bad Luck Fale (Bullet Club)
Gallows comes out wearing a Bullet Club gas mask. I'm almost certain the ring announcer calls him “Dork Gallows.” Nakamura's theme hits and out walks Yano looking like Asian Johnny V, which is to say drunk. Sakuraba is wearing a Phanto mask. God help the dead son of a bitch who grabs a level key in front of him. Nakamura as usual is the protagonist of your life and presents himself as such. It looks like we're going to get Nakamura starting against Anderson. PING!
Nakamura and Anderson go forehead to forehead talking shit that each other probably doesn't understand. Nakamura stomps at Anderson's feet and pushes him into the ropes. Hiptoss gets blocked by Anderson hooking the leg behind Nakamura's knee. Punch to the gut from Nakamura. Anderson doubles over in pain. Rocker dropper attempt gets countered by Anderson shooting up and flipping Nakamura over. Nakamura knees Anderson in the gut and trips him. Stomp misses as Anderson rolls out of the way. Anderson ducks a kick that could strip the paint off nearby aircraft. He mimics a shotgun blast but since Nakamura isn't a mime it doesn't effect him. Armdrag from Anderson. Another armdrag sees Anderson get a momentary armbar before Nakamura pulls him down into a headscissors. Kickout by Anderson. Standoff.
Lockup. Anderson shoves Nakamura into the blue corner and starts biting Nakamura. It really says something about a man who considers his opponents mid-fight snacks. Dork Gallows tags himself in. Punch to the abdomen of Nakamura. Headbutt. Throat thrust. Nakamura stomps on Gallows' left foot. Tag to Sakuraba and Gallows recoils a bit. Sakuraba ducks a right hook. Normally human knees can bend open or closed but Sakuraba does his best to bend Gallows' left knee right with a hard kick. Sakuraba blocks a straight punch to the head using the peekaboo technique made famous by Mike Tyson. Then he uses a technique made famous by Jean Claude Van Dam by kicking Doc Gallows right in the dick.
Gallows spins around missing the kind of wild punch your lizard brain throws instinctively when the Gracie hunter throws testicle murder at you. Gallows catches a kick with the back of his knee and doubles over in pain. Nakamura watches on from the apron the way your pets watch you prepare dinner. Kick gets caught. Gallows throws a hard throat thrust. Fale and Anderson rush the Chaos members as Gallows clubs on Sakuraba's back like he's trying to swat fish out of a river. Gallows starts dropping elbows while Anderson forces Matt Striker to too sweet him on the outside. Presumably he's also the one who later that night forced Matt Striker to buy a bunch of Bullet Club merch and admiringly stare at a Young Bucks poster as he goes to sleep. No shit after I typed that Matt Striker said “boy oh boy, Bullet Club are riled up now.”
Inside Gallows throws Sakuraba head first into the blue corner. Body blows and big throat thrust. Tag to Fale. Gallows talks shit to Striker as Fale stands on Sakuraba's back. Anderson rakes the eyes of Sakuraba as the ref has his vision blocked by Fale's eastern wing. Snapmare and Fale sits on Sakuraba for a pin. 1...2...shoulder up! Tired from this vigorous exercise Fale tags out to Anderson who crotch chops at Nakamura. In blatant disregard for the safety video every Japanese wrestler is made to watch during orientation Anderson leaves his arm and loose fitting clothing dangerously close to Kazushi Sakuraba. Fale quickly breaks him free of the armbar while Gallows cheap shots Yano and Nakamura. Anderson stomps away at Sakuraba. “SHINSUKE....YEAAAAOHHH!” Then Anderson makes himself have to check his urine for blood for the next week by missing a senton splash and landing kidneys first.
Tag to Nakamura. He knocks Fale and Gallows off the apron. Anderson boots him in the abdomen. Nakamura reverses a whip and hits a single leg dropkick! Shaking foot choke in the neutral corner but Anderson grabs Nakamura's ankle and slams a n elbow over Nakamura's knee. European uppercut from Anderson. Whip to the corner. Nakamura throws that knee right back into the gut of Anderson. He firman's carry lifts him ont the top rope and rolls backward. Running knee to the gut! Cover! 1...2...kickout. Saito suplex! Nakamura revs up in the corner, runs right into a boot from Gallows. Anderson elbows Yano off the apron. Gallows throws Nakamura into a neutral corner. Bicycle kick from Anderson. Gallows sprints across the ring for a splash. Belly to back into a neckbreaker! Cover...1...2...Striker flatly says “no.” before Nakamura even gets the shoulder up.
They set up fro the magic killer but Nakamura mule kicks Anderson away, hits a knee on Gallows, misses a roundhouse but just cartwheels the other leg into his temple! BOMAYEEEE on Anderson! Tag to Yano's goofy ass. Fale comes in and misses a lariat. Yano slaps him in the back of the head. Fale backs him into a neutral corner and starts swinging meaty rights and lefts into his gut. Forarms to the head! Whip across to the opposite turnbuckle. Fale sprints into a splash! He sets up for the bad luck fall but Sakuraba comes back in and kicks Fale in the sternum. Gallows attacks sending Sakuraba to the outside. With the referee distracted Tama Tonga enters the ring and jumps Yano from behind. He holds Yano up for Fale to hit a lariat off the ropes but Yano spins out and shoves Tonga into Fale! Double low blow! Rollup! 1...2...3!
Awards and ratings!
Match quality:
Ratchetness: Striker's becoming a bit ratchet on commentary but otherwise no...
Bullet Club: Real
Final Rating: √5 stars
Post match Yano celebrates as Striker gives out on commentary. Fuck off Striker. Back in the ring Nakamura gets in the face of Anderson even though he has Gallows giving him a backrub. That last part isn't a joke. Decent match that could have done with more wacky Yano antics.
It's a story a long time in the making and one I think deserves a proper build and length
Neville too
That was probably the best match of the night, I think
