I'd appreciate if you could take a second (or, well, an hour) and give it a look. It's my favourite one that I've done.

That image is going to give me nightmares.

QT Marshall/RD Evans vs ACH/TD Thomas - ***

Michael Elgin vs. Jay Lethal - ****
SCUM vs. Team ROH - ***

There's still reDRagon vs. American Wolves, Matt Taven vs. Matt Hardy vs. Adam Cole, Karl Anderson vs. Roddy Strong, and Kevin Steen vs. Jay Briscoe and I don't believe any of them will underdeliver. This show has been fucking great so far.

Also, during intermission they showed clips of Jay's previous title matchs and I managed to sneak myself into ANOTHER iPPV appearance courtesy of Jay's battle with Roddy Strong in 2011.

I was still at work when it started, I thought it started at 5:30.

potential if done right

The more I see Fandango the more I like the character, it's the match I'm looking forward to the most

The thing that I hate about Fandango is that the commentators pronounce his name like he wants it. It's really annoying.

Smackdown was all video packages but they did have Rhodes Scholars imitating Tensai and Brodus. They’ve done this to death but it was fun. Even Sandow does a better Brodus than Brodus.

The Bellas were mocking the girls too and they were funny too.

So is Jay Briscoe really the new ROH Champion? That really seems to have come out of no where unless I missed something.

Yeah that happened at my friend's place where I was watching it too. It went out for maybe five minutes at most, but worse timing you couldn't get. :smt011

It surprised me too, but now that I think about it, I'm thinking that they may not have wanted to got directly from Steen to Elgin -- assuming that they are going with Elgin as champion soon. If that's they case, then they need a transitional champion. Jay Briscoe winning the title makes for a nice feelgood moment for the fans and he makes for a good short term champion.

Makes sense, but I thought Steen was on such a roll and might get at least a short run with the title as a face before someone from SCUM ultimately took it from him.

Damien Sandow is awesome! At a signing I'm assuming.

No I just made that part up.

My friend said Sandow shouted at him and a bunch of others while they were queuing to meet DDP the other day and it was the highlight of his trip so far.

I love how Sandow is always in character and can improv on the fly, he's amazing.

So back in 2011 I got back into WWE pretty consistently starting with the Rumble of that year. I figured since I was attending WrestleMania, I would do everything I could to stay on top of the storylines etc. leading into the big event. Up until the introduction of the 3-hr RAW, I watched every episode of SD and RAW from that Royal Rumble on. I've kept pretty up-to-date since 3-hr RAW, but it's nigh-impossible what with the length of the show and what not.

The big thing is there's been one major storyline this entire time: John Cena vs. the Rock. Tomorrow night, it's set to conclude. I'm, personally, pretty excited about it for a lot of different reasons. The obvious one is that this is a storyline that's been going for basically three WrestleManias and we've not come to the climax. The second is that after WrestleMania, I'm taking a lengthy lengthy break from the current WWE product. I'll still watch my WWE spotlight DVDs (got a lot of catching up to do in that regard), but moving forward it'll be basically indy promotions (PWG, ROH, and CHIKARA) along with whatever I buy from IVP.
