Last night was a pretty good show with a hot crowd. I'm not sure the Ricky Starks-Brian Cage match got the crowd response they wanted. Not sure they're going to be able to keep Starks heel in the feud. Starks is really good on the mic and seems like he really loves wrestling, it won't be easy to get crowds to boo that. Cage on the otherhand, personally, never really cared for him. Don't get me wrong, he's in amazing shape, and can do things people his size shouldn't be able to do, but he always feels a little clunky and stiff in the ring. I think he'd be better off as the monster heel type anyway. I've called Starks "skinny Rock" since I saw him in NWA, a few years ago, so not surprised to see him get a pop.
THe Omega-Page stuff is coming along nicely. The main event was really good. And the Cody-Black segment had a cool classics NWA-Attitude Era hybrid feel to it. Wasn't sold on them when Black debuted, but they did a pretty good job last night.
The only thing I didn't care for is Nyla Rose. I just did get it. She's meh on the mic and not overly great in the ring. The sooner that feud ends, the sooner we can get to what I'd assume would be a Thunderose feud for September. But who knows.
