Dunne is what you get if you combined William Regal and Arn Anderson. A ruthless bastard who gets it done. Also like Arn he's at an improbable age. But unlike Arn Anderson he didn't come out of the womb looking like my friends dad.

What we're seeing is the first steps of something a bit different from just divisions. If WWE manages to pull of what it appears they're working toward, there's going to be several "WWE"s worldwide, with very little interaction. UK (and likely a bit of the surrounding countries) will have one, India will have its own WWE promotion with its own roster, same with China, etc. There'll be some cross-pollination here and there and the big guns brought in for major US shows, but overall, it's a direction that isn't going to see a whole lot of that. Honestly I still kind of question the logistics of it. A WWE-sized operation in countries all over the world, touring regularly and bringing in tons of money while having a constant flow of new Network content is an incredible idea in theory, but it seems all too easy for the novelty to wear off relatively quickly, for them to end up having too much overhead for it to actually get much of a return, or for them to start cannibalizing their subsidiaries because of people they want for the main roster. Actually one of the best things it could do, instead of cannibalizing the other areas, would be to send guys who are stale like I dunno Dolph Ziggler to work there for 6 months or a year to freshen up a bit. I'm sure there will be some guys who have major potential who do get brought to the American roster but there is a lot of potential to do some switch offs and let guys freshen up working somewhere else for awhile. Also there will always be new talent to sign to take guys places aswell.

So I rewatched the match with the missus and it holds up beautifully. It's not a perfect match for me, as I would've liked to,see Dunne's joint work play more into the finish, but it's amazingly dramatic and well paced.
More interestingly, the missus has added Bate to her jokey 'list' based purely on his ridiculous thighs. Orton's might have competition....

From what I had seen of Bate, I didn't take him as a high flier, but man o man, that corkscrew senton he hit was so goddamn beautiful.
It was a great match, but like most great matches, the ending sequence was what really launched it into the stratosphere.

It was very good but not match of the year
However, star making performance for both dudes who put that good work in. I enjoyed that match

Easily one of my favorite matches this year, WWE or otherwise.
Dunne's theme gets stuck in your head for some reason. It's a pretty sick riff.

I'd like to see Bate fight Hornswoggle next.
