Official Wrestling PPV-PLE Topics: PREVIEWS!!!

Well, I did catch all of the first night though I was also watching night 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs so I can't say I was glued to my laptop for every moment. I thought tonight was just ok. Nothing really blew me away, and I don't think there was much surprising as far as outcomes besides maybe Flair losing, but that could've just been me not really knowing much about Stratton.

Quick thoughts on each match. I wasn't surprised Uso won but I was a bit surprised they had Walter tap (I won't call him Gunther, lol). New Day vs War Raiders didn't really do much for me. The War Raiders used to look like badasses but they looked more like Bugs Bunny villains in those outfits tonight. Fatu vs Knight was ok, don't really get LA Knight so wasn't surprised he lost. Naomi vs Jade wasn't that impressive. Jade still looks like she makes little mistakes. Never was a big Naomi fan either so didn't really care much. I did enjoy the El Grande Americano gimmick. I'm not sure how long they'll run with it but it looks like there's going to be a plethora of Luchadores now so maybe it'll last a longer time. The news of WWE buying AAA made me happy because I won't have to watch all these guys take up time in AEW anymore. I've said before, I don't really care for the Lucha style as it feels too choreographed and unnatural, so let them wrestle on WWE shows, lol. the main event was pretty good. I didn't really know the storyline much heading in, but listening to Busted Open this week several callers predicted Heyman joining Rollins, so it really didn't surprise me. Not sure if it was a surprise for most.

Honestly, this didn't really feel like that great of a night. If Vince were in charge still I would've pushed a conspiracy theory that Vince made a meh card because it was Punk's main event night, but in truth, tomorrow's card just looks much better on paper. If I spent an ungodly amount a money to go to WM for just one night, I'd be disappointed. But I'm jaded and not a regular viewer so results may vary,
