I thought that analysis of the Sami and Cesaro was a really good one, although I guess for me it extends a bit to the performers as well. For example, for me Cesaro's interaction with Samoa Joe was another reminder why I never feel that invested in him even if I get a kick of seeing what he can do in the ring.

I will be honest, I desperately want Van Wayne to become a part of the official Bat-Canon, which is surprising as I was slightly rolling my eyes when he was first announced. As great as Tudyk is as the character, and he is great, for me what makes the character so great is having the familiarity with how much the…

While I think the rampant racism at Dre's place of work has gone up a lot this season, it does just keep me smiling in just the absurdity of it. Like for instance that Stevens thought that he was on trial, because of course he did.

I don't even dislike Stephanie and I just couldn't understand her character dynamic there. It was like they wrote something for Charlotte, but instead had Stephanie deliver it. The more I think on that segment, the more it baffles me.

Reasonable assumption. I was just trying to figure out what was happening and what was supposed to be the takeaway there with the crowd reactions doing very little to help.

As chuckle-worthy as it was when it turned out that Lana as a Russian was a master hacker, it killed me even more that the writers of the segment didn't really seem to know how hacking works.

The Reigns/Good Brothers program confuses me as I just don't see what is the payoff for it. At the moment, it is literally just Reigns single-handedly beating the tag team champions, because he is such a stud, as they prepare to defend their tag team titles in a few weeks. It just doesn't feel like this is building…

Sidenote question from someone who is aggressively indifferent on Bayley and thus isn't the best to judge in these situations. Did those crowd responses for Bayley feel like they were all over the place in that segment. Like it started really hot, then went really cold, then went really mixed and then maybe got hot…

To be fair, we don't know yet how well her first segment as the champ went. I realize that the Meltzer analysis has garnered some divided responses, but those analyses are complicated and one shouldn't rush to conclusions on them. Especially because sometimes it just takes time.

That Bayley/Steph/Sasha segment was such a bizarre mess on almost every level. From the very basic concept to execution to performances. I mean, I even understand if Bayley didn't relinquish the title, but here she just came across as delusional as she insisted that she won Charlotte fair in the middle of the ring…

That opening segment with KO was just so well executed on almost every front. The presentation, wtih the sole spot light on KO, his explanation for the match and the suit. And then him just dropping the mic instead of touching on why he did what he did to Jericho.

I'm really digging the approach they are taking with Ambrose/Corbin at the moment and how they are putting over Corbin as this monster. Yet at the same time, even though we've seen this before, we also that Ambrose is going to retaliate and it feels we are going to see a lot of things happen in this. Best part? I…

To be honest, I don't think it's that horrible for a couple of reasons. First Styles is one of the few superstars able get a good match out of Shane that doesn't involve Shane doing spots that are way too dangerous. Second, and most important, that match means that Styles is on the main card which is a pretty big deal.

While Bliss/Naomi was surprisingly good, even if not necessarily anything special, I gasped in shock at the finish as Bliss for some unknown reason decides to roll towards the corner while Naomi hits her move leading to a really dangerous looking botch with Naomi's knee landing far closer to Bliss's head than it ever…

As has been stated a lot already, the Elimination match was excellent and pretty much saved the show for me although my strong suspicions on the winner took something away from it. Not because I didn't like Bray finally getting the main gold, but because I am just not interested in the Bray/Orton feud at all.

I don't know how Crews recovers from this PPV. I mean, Ziggler, having turned heel, is showing doing his best to end Crews's career, destroying both his angles, and what is the crowd reaction? 'One more time' and 'Thank you, Ziggler'. That was just such a unintentionally brutal moment that made me honestly sympathetic…

I've been thinking of Ambrose's position in WWE following a bizarre comments from Meltzer/Alvarez recently. While almost audibly rolling their eyes at a question proclaiming how WWE could be ignoring Ambrose despite him being one of their most consistently over performers, Meltzer went on to explain how Ambrose was…

It's a fascinating question and if they do it, it will be interesting to see what their approach is. If they don't, then they don't. Although I don't know about the risk of the dead thing as the two of them could have a match we haven't from seen from women in WWE before, just due to the size aspect, and it opens up…

That is the second thing causing me hesitation as well. However, working with someone of Nia's size would allow them to really do a lot of unique stuff Charlotte can't do with everyone else and I think with smart planning they can have her work around Nia's conditioning issue.

I am quite open about my biases, but I thought Charlotte's clean victory over Bayley in addition to Nia borderline squashing Sasha opens up a really strong storyline heading in to Wrestlemania. Even though I can't figure out how they would handle the alignment issue, this does seem to be setting for Charlotte/Nia at…
