GOODNESS SAKES that Page/Danielson match was the BEES KNEES and reminded me why I love professional wrestling. Damn near perfect match, a modern day epic tale,I want a four hour rematch on PPV please.

Meanwhile, WWE continues to drop in the ratings, kill off all their babyfaces heat, and thinks the way to gain their viewers back is fifty camera cuts a second.

That hour match probably had 90% less cuts than the Becky attack on Liv Morgan that was 3 minutes.

I think Page showed he's in the conversation for best wrestler of next year and maybe the hardest worker because that guy gave 110% of his life force in the ring last night. Danielson makes it look effortless, but Hangman shows a real drive to be the top guy. Good for him.

Something that really needs to be caught up - picture in picture is the unsung hero of the day. No more missing big cuts of matches because of annoying commercial breaks.

No ads on the Fite.TV version, so no PiP needed. Did they have PiP when Cole was getting treated by the doctor and ref while Danielson was flipping off the crowd for nearly the whole ad break?

Yep. They used it as a massive heat segment. I was sure it was gonna sink the match but Danielson is such a god damn master that it worked.

Brandi's finisher is called the Stretch Mark.

Tony's 5 star scale might be a little different to others.

I guess he thinks guys with a body that looks like chewed up bubble gum are hilarious and Fat Bastard from Austin Powers is his favorite comedy character.

I'd love to see Vince's reaction to his gross stomach, though.

It was interesting. It wasn't a hilarious match but Taz's reaction to him was funny.

Just as long as they keep that sort of thing on Dark and don't put it on TV then it's fine to do occasionally.

I liked Brock Anderson & Lee Johnson vs The Ass Boys. That should be on TV.
