It would have been pretty funny if William Regal had announced that he was invoking the Paige Rule and stripping Kevin Owens of the championship because he's spending too much time on the main roster.

This episode was a bit underwhelming on the whole, but the emphasis on people who have gotten lost in the shuffle made it pretty pleasant anyway. Pre-"NXT Five" NXT is entirely responsible for getting me into pro wrestling, so it was actually pretty fun to get a one episode return to the days when half the people on…

Reading the interview with the four of them gave me way more hope for the future than anything else I've seen. They seem to have obtainable goals and a willingness to pursue them, and the women at NXT have already revolutionized WWE wrestling to some extent just by consistently having the best matches of the night on…

Like I said, that goal is very out-of-reach right now. I just hope that everyone involved pushes for that sort of thing and steadily makes it seem less and less implausible. The occasional instances of it happening in NXT episodes and live events makes it seem a bit more likely. Incremental steps like that and the…

Yeah, but seeing things like how RG,MtAA deals with his aunt having cancer makes him interesting to me. I want to know whether he still STAYS HYPE when he's in a long line at the grocery store, and whether he lets everyone else go first when another line opens up because he's just so HYPE to be waiting in line and to…

It does give me an enormous amount of hope that Sasha has talked about wanting to have women main event a pay-per-view. That seems like a completely reasonable and achievable thing to do, but it's still ridiculously out-of-reach in the current climate. I hope Sasha keeps pushing for that goal, and I hope she and the…

Sasha Banks is great, but no amount of "it factor" can make up for an entire gender getting ten minutes out of every three hour show. Sasha Banks also isn't good enough to overcome having her storylines altered or ignored or abruptly having her alignment shifted for no reason. Nobody is. Having great performers can…

It was great to see Emma bust out the Emma Lock again. I also like how she did it differently than she did when she was a face. Less goofy theatrics, more tearing your head off. Emma needs to remind people that she's a pretty great wrestler, because a lot of people tend to forget that when they talk about her…

It's a bit odd that Alexa Bliss and Carmella seem to be having a feud as surrogates for their male tag team companions, but I do think it's neat that Carmella seems to be coming into her own a bit. Hopefully they both come out of this with a fair amount of credibility and launch into the women's division in a big…

I liked Mojo Rawley quite a bit when he first showed up, and I think he has the potential to be a good part of the roster. The high point of his NXT career by far was his breast cancer awareness promo, where he spoke with great sincerity about his aunt's struggles and his admiration for her ability to stay hype…

If performers could have turned the Divas division around, then Paige and Emma would have done it by now. Any change in the division is going to have to come from above, or it's just going to continue being a graveyard for great talents.

I think it's pretty fun how that seems to be a part of their gimmick. They were generic and forgettable until they made an impromptu match against the tag champs, which nobody expected them to win because it happened in normal episode. Then they got the titles because the Dragons couldn't keep track of which one was…

Yeah, BatB did a really good job with a variety of those silly obscure characters.

I loved Campbell's artwork in Glory, and even though I have no knowledge of the Jem franchise, I am way into the idea of her drawing a magical girl band comic.

I still can't sympathize with that mindset in any way. The actual quantity of food being wasted is pretty piddling, so there's not much of a moral argument against it. If it was being shoveled into the trash then I could see how it would be a display of waste, but watching people eat excessive quantities of food…

That's kind of a silly argument. All forms of entertainment involve using resources that could, hypothetically, have gone to some other cause. Man Vs. Food is probably less wasteful in that regard than almost any scripted show or movie

The result of the tag match was pretty disappointing, but I'm excited about the possibilities of a heel Alexa Bliss. From the moment she debuted, all I wanted to see was Alexa Bliss take her glitter powder and throw it in someone's face, and now we're closer to that than ever.

LET'S GO CHUCK TAYLOR, HE'S THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD, HE'S IN WAY BETTER SHAPE THAN SETH ROLLINS.

I'm not entirely sure what your argument against Sasha Banks is there. She's had great 7 minute matches before. She's also had great 3 minute matches. I'm not even necessarily disagreeing with you, because I don't really know what you're claiming.
