    As an Aussie. I was proud of Zaria’s performance, I kind of assumed she wouldn’t win. However, I can see her going into the mid card and dominate that scene for a few months.

      I think he should do that, but it should be like Roman is champ again after beating the Rock, and the next night its Oba Femi demolishes Roman and takes the title on day 1 and the entire world is like "this dude beat Roman after he beat the Rock, what does that mean about Oba Femi?"

    With the penalty box issue, Page cannot re-enter the match until he does his time in the box. So him refusing and taking time to enter the box only sets him back in the match as the timer only begins after the box door closes with you in it

    16:15 the penalty for not getting in the box faster is that the timer doesn’t start until you’re in it. When Page took forever he basically took himself out of the match with how much time was left.

    I think you could legitimately have an extra women's only A-show, along with about the same amount of women's time on RAW & Smackdown.
    Also yes, B&G NXT was built to make five star matches, but not that many people that could appeal to the casual roster. Look at how well redoing Undisputed Era stuff has worked over in AEW.

    (But I actually think the Iron Survivor match that Roxanne Perez won was even better. Roxanne Perez could wrestle a great match with a tarnished penny she picked up off the ground. Like, it doesn't even have to be a good penny.)

      It's showing a lack of depth right now I believe because they're waiting for the new "breakout tournament" after the holidays where there are lots of fun guys on LVL Up who have yet to show up on NXT proper. One of the guys is a guy who looks like a younger, taller Cash Wheeler with the size of Duke Hudson. Tavion and Josh Briggs are HELLA talented. They're keeping their cards close to them until Wrestlemania.

I've gone from watching everything AEW came out with through 2022 on top of NXT since the black and gold era and I just dropped AEW since I don't have time for as many shows and PPVs as they've been doing. HHH and HBK are so good at their weekly programming since no scripts are being torn 1h before TV time.

    Going to do my star ratings here seeing as I can’t do them on Friendo Club:
    Men’s Iron Survivor: 4 (while not as spectacular/star studded as previous iterations, this had some fun moments and Oba being a surprise entrant added to the match. Ethan Page made the most of his minutes with his performance)
    Vice/Parker: N/A (skipped this as I wasn’t a fan of the last NXT Underground match they did at Battleground. Worked MMA isn’t for me)
    Fraxiom/NQCC: 4 (the Fraxiom special. Thought Fraser did a good job selling the iron survivor, and Tavion is something special with his unique moves. Shocked Fraxiom are still fine tho, was convinced they were dropping the belts)
    Williams/Holland: 3.5 (a decent match. That’s all)
    Women’s Iron Survivor: 4.25 (a great showcase of the women. Wren Sinclair being organically over was my big takeaway here, she’s a future star)

    My star ratings:
    Men’s ISC: 4.75/5. Amazing spots, amazing character beats, and a nice unrelenting energy throughout the match! I think everyone involved looked like a million bucks! And Oba Femi really came across like an impossible monster… even though yes, he did get beat by Tony D twice already, but we won’t talk about that!
    Vice vs Parker: 2.25/5. I’ve never liked the Underground matches, but at least Jaida had a solid showing. One day she’ll be champ!
    Fraxiom vs NQCC: 4.5/5. Fraxiom do it again, delivering a *BANGER* of a match! Even though they haven’t had the most spotlight on the stories around their matches, every title defense has been fantastic! I juuuust wish NQCC took the gold this time…
    Williams vs Holland: 2/5. I was really bored with this match. Even though I was invested in the build, this match just… was meh. Trick is great on the mic, not so great in the ring.
    Women’s ISC: 4.5/5. Another great showing for all involved, if not a bit too slow at points. Part of me was expecting Steph and Giulia to tie and have a sudden death match, but I’m not complaining about the final result.

Black and Gold was Peak because they were just harvesting the Indy’s of guys who were already all-but main event ready.

    I'm glad that you mentioned Ring of honor. I 1st watched ROH in 2012 because WWE & TNA was getting bad. And I saw really good Wrestling. And really good Wrestlers. I feel like ROH was the Wrestling company that let the Wrestlers go out there and have good matches. ROH wasn't perfect. But the in-ring Wrestling from just about every Wrestler was very good. That's what I like about ROH. Good matches. I didn't start to watch Wrestling until i heard Vince Russo say that good Wrestling matches don't matter. So I watched ROH to prove him wrong. I was blown away seeing a TV match of El Generico vs Roderick Strong. Sure Zayn was in WWE. But the match quality stood out to me. Just a TV match was better than anything done In the 5 years of the Attitude era. 😀

    Survivor Series is just a tough, over thought gimmick PLE. Whether it's the traditional 5 to 10 man elimination tag, which makes absolutely no sense. In a regular tag, guys make the save all the time. Oddly in a SS elimination, nobody makes the save even though there's more guys. Or they do, it's just obvious they're trying to work around it.
    Or the Brand vs Brand years that Vince loved so much. I never ever ever cared about bragging rights over Brand supremacy.
    Whether it's War Games, which isn't really War Games. There's no top to the cage and it's just a confined weapons match. Every single wrestler has to look under the ring for a weapon, it's ridiculous.
    Or this new gimmick match. No matter how you slice it, November is sure to be filled with bad gimmick ideas, overbooked messes of matches and concepts that just downright suck.
