It's cute how they tried to emulate the classic Booker vs SCSA supermarket fight.
Didn't quite hit the mark. One of the best parts of the classic was using grocery items - which they skimped out on. Budget cuts?

Wonder what supermarket this was.

How do they go about doing this? Go to a random supermarket and say hey guys we filming a segment and going to thrash your place. Here is $$$ or your time

Looked more like a gas station or convenience store. Calling it a "supermarket" is being way too generous.

I would imagine that's exactly it. Book it like any other filming location, pay for the damages and cleanup. Both this and the Booker/SCSA fight were at night, probably after the store closed, so that they wouldn't have to compensate for any lost business.

But that's what I meant by "budget cuts". The guys got to use an entire supermarket, and destroyed aisles, products, etc.
In this cheap knockoff, I literally spend more on my weekly grocery trip than the damaged they caused.

And throwing that empty cardboard box? I mean, at least use a milk carton.

What do you think of Main roster champs coming to NXT?
It's one thing if a low-carder Brooke comes to play, but whether it's Rea or the Tag champs being dominant against the NXT roster, it feels pointless, kayfabe-wise. They're supposedly the top of main roster, so to "win" against anyone on the farm team seems redundant to me.

Maybe its a way to elevate them. That match between these two probably was a sign of respect and who knows she may be debuting on raw for judgement day soon?

If there was a plan, sure. But what happened to Dawn/Fyre after their loss?
And I don't see any plans for Lyra being called up soon.

 

[usman19]

I hope they have plans for them as they very talented as they shown in nxt and Uk respectively.

I feel they could make it as single wrestlers

 

[tvstrip]

Is it me, or does it feel like they're purposely going for the porn production look?

 

[tvstrip]

I think a couple of days is good enough to talk about the PPV, right?

Some highlights of the submission match. Jealous of Hail - would love to have been in her position!

Also pretty impressive the number of submission moves Tiff pulled off, especially since she's never been shown to use one.
All is good with the NXT Women's championship

 

[tvstrip]

So, soooo close!

I thought I'd be bored with the triple threat match, but actually enjoyed it. Charlotte is really showing her age. If they're determined to make her a 16-time champ, I hope they just get it out of the way and let her move aside for the new generation. At least we almost got a wardrobe malfunction.

If Bianca was not legitimately injured, I'd say she's got some acting chops. The camera cut off the ref's hands so you couldn't see if she put up the "X", but her reaction seemed pretty legit.

Spoilers for people who haven't seen it yet

Spoiler

She's such a cutie

Brooklyn Barlow and a Katana swinging Euro-babe. One reason I love NXT is that there is no shortage of new women, unlike the main roster where the "top tier" women are so set in stone you don't even know what year it is.

Terry Funk has passed on.

I'm not familiar with this guy, but 36 is way to young. R.I.P.

Trish on her A-game as a heel. "On s'en calisse" being the cherry on top - I asked some Quebecois friends about this and they found it hilarious.
It's so localized that google translate won't catch it, and it wouldn't be understood in any event outside of Montreal or Quebec city.

 

[tvstrip]

I thought that was a good match to end RAW. Crazy that they would both go through some brutal spots ahead of a cage match. Have to respect that.

Becky's real crying at the end got me teary eyed too.

Kiana James vs Tiffany Stratton

[tvstrip]

Prep the ER for all those WWE female wrestlers...

 

[tvstrip]

Case in point:

And that's just from the first night back

 

[tvstrip]

Lots of releases. Possibly because of the merger.

Aliyah & Emma were Hot & cute. Going to miss them

Women's breakout tourny brackets. Predictions?

1st Round for me:
Kelani
Grace
Petrovic
Palmer

Kelani is coming off a good No Mercy match, Jakara is busy with that meta stable. Petrovic better get her first win against debuting rookie.
Palmer and Vice have both been getting screen time, so it's hard to say, but whoever wins between them is probably going to the finals.

Just some comedy being shared which this woman hating wrestling has become somewhat a meme which i'm sure everyone has seen. What do you think of it? Loads all over social media ie tik tok and insta.

It brings the question, what do you think of girls who don't like wrestling, but probably hates people who do?

Guess for me don't mind someone who doesn't like it but they have to accept that i do. Think maybe she referring to an ex who probably gave more time for wrestling than her lol.
