Uncredible morons like Dave Metzler (I call him Metzler because he's about as relevant as the New York Mets) is not "virtually everyone". He is a known idiot among everyone that actually knows what they're talking about. They've lost almost 3 million people from their average audience over the past three years alone, and those numbers show no sign of turning around. No TV channel would give a company trending downward more money.

oh dear I read this as a trump tweet

On Rusev Day, of all days

Boorish

by a few hours

On topic, the most recent OSW Review was pretty enjoyable. The PPV they covered lacked the good old TNA bollocks I've grown to love, though.
---

So getting caught up on NXT made me realize how much better Aleister Black is as a striker than Nakamura, yet Nak is the "King of Strong Style."

Like it's not even close. And I'm not a huge fan of massively strike based offenses, either, but Black just keeps pulling great matches out of his ass no matter who his opponent is and Nak... doesn't.
---

When Rock and Ulti agree on something, is that a sign of end times?

Regardless, thats not really what Strong Style is. No excuse for Nakamura being lazy though.
---

I still think most people have no idea what strong style actually is.

If it was what people generally think it is, all the wrestlers would be crippled
---

Tonight is the definition of a one match show...

Nak was signed p much to send a message.

He got a destination contract in the later stages of his career and should have a Brock/HBK/Taker schedule.

Tommy End is a hungry new emerging guy who has accomplished nothing in any of the major promotions. He's also not getting 7 figures a year.

Nak pulled a kevin nash.

Nakamura has mastered the art of turning it on for big time matches and phoning it in when they're doing nothing important with him (ie 90% of the time, it's WWE)

Meanwhile scott hall is back on the bottle.

Well, it's good that Hunter wants to give him a Mania Main Event for the WWE Title then. That's the biggest match in the world.

I cannot believe people are STILL arguing with Ulti.

Like, you know the outcome is going to be tired right wing memes and stubborn lunacy. You know this.

I mean, we THINK he's getting it. Let's not put the cart before the horse until he wins a Rumble.

I agree here, it's just great that Hunter is all in on giving it to him.

Then what is Strong Style? Because I'm going to argue Braun is the real King of Strong Style if it's not about striking.

Originally? No idea. I keep a doc in my computer with a bunch of reaction gifs and other funny nonsense. I decided that since certain people decided to be nonsensical tonight, I'd just break out some nonsense myself.

I love this gif forever

It is about a striking/submission combo attack, and its about making the strikes and holds impactful not with stiffness, but with emotion.

To be fair thats not incompatible with what you said. It was more a misworded comment about what Ulti must think it is to think that it cant work.
---

I'm just saying if Black wasn't a skinny fat ass, he'd be on the main roster right now embarrassing Nak.
---

Like even look at their finishers.

The Kinshasa just generally looks weak most of the time, whereas the Black Mass looks amazing most of the time. I think I remember it countering a Ohno rolling elbow going "oooooooooh!".

"Nooooooo"

It's kinda nice that rock likes Tommy End.

Dude killed it on the indie scene, especially in Europe.

What the fuck happened in here

Hot take: Brian Pillman was a better promo than everyone currently in WWE.
---

Another hot take: Eli Drake is the best promo in the business right now.
---

Actually I take that back.

Dan Lambert is the best promo in wrestling right now - it's too bad no one knows it.
---

Hot take: If wrestlers studied Colby Covington, they would actually get more over.
---

Colby Covington being on Impact every week now is actually really weird, especially since he's such an afterthought. Hell, Hartnett is more important in the current Impact product for Top Team than him.

If they need to do this, I dont think the 205 Live tour will last past the 6 dates theyve committed to
---

That was a pretty cool ending to the first match
---

Corbin wins the Rumble confirmed.
---

OMG someone mad they lost a title they held proudly

What a heel!
---

These guys were added to the match to win, right?

EDIT: Thank you announcer for that solid explanation of these odd rules
---

Rusev was so happy about that song

what a great guy
---

Gable's suplexes look dangerous.
---

Great match

missed the Us title match how was it? You guys said a good ending
---

Very good

Action packed, full of twists and turns

Honestly it was almost as good as the tag match

So far a great show for multi-man chaos
---

LOL Womens Title Match where the video package is about the lumberjacks
---

These are all heels except for Naomi and Charlotte

Jeez
---

Well that match was a terrible mess
---

Its kinda by design though
---

Easily the worst match on the card so far.

This post match interview is pretty bad too.
---

okay Nattie...

That might have been worse than the match itself.
---

What a goofy gimmick
---

I am sort of curious how this ME ends.
