Looking forward to seeing Team Japan beat up on J&M Security.

Will watch tomorrow, but they've announced the rematch between Toni Storm and Rhea Ripley for the NXT UK Women's Title will be on the February 20th episode. That was taped over the weekend in Phoenix at Axxess.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Duke and Shafir are about as effective as J&J Security right now. 0 and 2 so far in their TV runs.

Mastiff looks like Otis with all his chromosomes.

(On an aside, I learned yesterday that I have a genetic defect in one of my two codes, meaning if I have children, I'd have to be mindful of the mother.)

Dave here has too much of a literal babyface to be ever a heel.

[Perfect Timing]

I watched Kasey Owens at a local indy a few months ago she's pretty good.

NXT UK

Very cool Walter vignette.

Mastiff vs. Primate was a fun hard hitting match.

My Gibson is such a great promo. GYV vs. BritAm Brawlers should be insane.

Walter is a beast. That chop...ouch!

Great tag team main event.

NXT

Kairi & Io f***ing rule. They need to be in the Chamber match.  Duke and Shafir aren't ready for primetime, but they aren't horrible and are jobbing so them being on TV  doesn't bother me

Street Profits vs. Forgotten Sons. Sons have got better and have good tandem moves. Street Profits rule and the match definitely exceeded my expectations. Also Fords jump dive...crazy.

KASEY OWENS!!!!!

!!!!!!!
