Usually when I see Randy, I take a trip to North Change-the-Channel-brook.

It's been great so far. The Lince Dorado/Mustafa Ali match last week was a super fun spotfest, and watching Tozawa wrestle himself for ten minutes was educational.

I believe Vince is actively producing Smackdown now. As usual, much of what was coming out of JBL's mouth seemed to be coming from Vince's brain.

Batista's last heel run before his initial departure was just amazing, and he was actually a pretty decent main-event-style worker by the time he peaced out.

Could be that they're waiting until after Summerslam to run tournaments so they can crown champs at Backlash. They could announce that, though.

She wasn't even that over in NXT. Her entrances without Enzo & Cass have been painful to watch because her delivery is really awful – Enzo can do promos like that because he's got conviction, but you can tell she's just reciting lines. She's really, really green – both in the ring and on the mic – and in no way ready…

This is correct. And of course, Vince is now paying attention to Smackdown, so that's the primary way the shows cross over creatively.

They need to put him with somebody with actual charisma, stat. He is useless by himself.

Yeah, the G1 is just an insane schedule. If I was a top guy in a tag match on a day when I wasn't doing a singles match, I'd be like, "Go get 'em, Captain New Japan!" too.

The top guys in NJPW are encouraged to take it easy when they're not working main events (which is to say, singles matches on major cards). NJPW cards are structured in a very particular way, so if Nakamura is in an eight-man tag on the undercard and goes all-out, that would actually be considered a bad thing, both…

Tony laughing at Bacala's hunting gear is one of my favorite moments in the series.

Well, to be fair, Moose was absolutely going to NXT until the Lawler incident occurred and WWE decided it was going to be super serious about domestic violence that week. Moose was involved in a domestic violence incident back when he was in the NFL, and WWE passed on him because of that. Had his ROH contract not come…

I can't wait until they get to the current crew. I'm fairly certain that Barnett's hatred of the Bucks is a gimmick, but The Elite will truly offend Ross' sensibilities. I expect there is a Cornette-esque rant in our future.

I certainly didn't say that, but it was a bit of a "wait, what?" moment for me.

I understand the significance of having Baylor beat Reigns, but I could have done without Stephanie trashing Reigns, just to turn around and give him yet another chance to get a championship. It's just bad storytelling, and does not fit the idea that Reigns is the underdog, who keeps getting mistreated by the…

They did go to commercial midway through some of the longer matches but they at least felt like organic breaks…

Unfortunately, the new song is vastly inferior to "The Night."

I love the AXS show, although I feel that Ross is a poor fit due to his complete lack of product knowledge. You can hear him waiting for Barnett to call moves so that he knows their names, and it's jarring. Barnett continues to be great, though – I laughed out loud a few weeks ago when he referred to the lesser Bullet…

I think it's difficult for Bálor (and others who have had big matches in front of huge crowds) to get all that jacked for working in front of 350 fans in a TV studio. Like, I feel that Nakamura has been going through the motions at Full Sail – even though his matches with Aries and Bálor were very good – but his match…

His little tiny baby steps kill me every time.
