I'm only halfway through the first episode and I'm hooked completely. Called 100% like a sport right down to the referee having both competitors together for the official announcement of the winner, MMA style.

Mauro Ranallo and Daniel Bryan are the commentary team, with Corey Graves acting as a host. Kota Ibushi in the main event.

I enjoyed it. I bet the matches get even better past round 1

I didn't necessarily agree with Hoho Lun over Daivari, but all the matches have been entertaining so far.

Loving the CWC. The bracketology special is also worth watching if you are a fan of this concept.

How awesome is Kota vs. Cedric going to be in the Round of 16?

Dukes and Saber just put on a wrestling classic. The crowd had no idea what they were seeing, that's a shame.

Paul London doppleganger is amazing. The Kid N' Play gut let his nerves get the best of him. He'll be on Botchamania I'm sure.

Spanky's back. He looks like a meth addict but he's back!!!

Seeing TJP last week makes me wish we could get a TJP vs. Tyson Kidd match some day.

Raul Mendoza looked good. I'd say he has had the most impressive performance in defeat. I wanna see Mendoza, Da Mack and Sean Maluta again.

I LOL'd at the end of the Tony Nese/Anthony Bennet match.

Nese hit Bennet with a powerslam, then climbed the top rope. The ref stopped Nese and checked on Bennet. After a few seconds he motioned for Nese to hit his 450.

Translation: Wait, let me see if he's not dead.... Nope, he's not dead. Go ahead and kill him with your finisher...

Gargano vs. Ciampa was fantastic. Ciampa's strikes were unreal.

Jack Gallagher and Fabian Aichner also had a really nice match.

4 more days till Ibushi vs. Cedric!

WWE is finding ways to expose the non Indy crowd to some incredible talent.

Jack G is amazing.

I watched Gargano/Ciampa and loved it. I've recently become a huge fan of Ciampa (and to a lesser degree Gargano) since I saw them live in ATL in January.

Those knees Ciampa was throwing were freaking brutal. That guy is great in general.

Prime · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2016, 09:04:33 PM »

That match was amazing, and they told a great story within in the context of it as well. It's a MOTY candidate for me.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2016, 10:11:21 PM »

Fray on Twitter, has suggested a scenario where in the big tag match between Ciampa/Gargano and The Revival, that Ciampa abandon Gargano on the hot tag. That would be fantastic. The Psycho Killer turning his back on his best friend...heat through the roof.

Don't forget the CWC semifinals and finals tomorrow night at 9 PM!

With all the teasing of the time limit by Mauro, I wonder if that actually comes into play tomorrow night.

Who ya got? I got Ibushi over ZSJ in a final that goes over 30 minutes.

I believe Gran Metalik has been advertised for Raw

KoppoKick · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2016, 05:17:09 AM »

I guess Gran Metalik will probably win, especially with WWE losing Del Rio and La Sombra wanting to quit, according to ADR.

Anyone else surprised that no one representing the USA made the final four? I thought it would be one wrestler from USA, one from Mexico, one from Japan and one from England. I was surprised when TJP beat Gargano and again when TJP beat Swann, but happy for TJP and hope he wins it all.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2016, 08:10:32 AM »

Supposedly the Almas wanting to quit may have been inaccurate. I read somewhere that what Alberto was saying was that he was "homesick," but not that he necessarily wants out.

dam skippy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:56:16 PM »

Great 2 hour show. The Main was incredible. Gran Metalic should go back in time to 1996. He might like WCW for awhile.

Purple Belt.

So this means

Red Ranger - Kevin Owens
Black Ranger - AJ Styles
Blue Ranger - Becky Lynch
White Ranger - Charlotte
Purple Ranger - TJ Perkins

Even though it was widely speculated, it was smart of Trips not to reveal the Cruiserweight title until the final. Had they revealed it before the semis, most of us would have known ZSJ and Ibushi weren't advancing to the final because neither had signed WWE contracts...

Missed the damned DIY tag match. Stupid trash night and torrential rain conspired against me.

That was a fun tournament. As long as they let the cruisers wrestle their styles (like they did in the tournament) and not the 'WWE style', then this division will truly be a breath of fresh air on the red brand.

There's a flaw in your women Rangers. Both Women's straps are white. Charlotte's main plate is also red. Or at worst a horrible pink.
