    Yeah the Taker match bummed me out, and especially because it was Reigns that retired him, but Florida made Roman pay for it on Raw the next day.:lol:

    The Asuka-Emma match was fairly solid, but I'm not overly impressed either, not huge on the Shield, Rollins is okay, I'm more of a Cesaro/AJ/Owens/Joe guy, hate the roster spilt before, its not as bad now, but I still don't love it.

    Nice. Cesaro is awesome. Up until Rollins' knee injury, which I still don't think he has quite ever recovered to top form from, I felt Rollins and KO were by far the two best in-ring (and for that matter on-mic) performers they had. Rollins' "faux" championship run made for the best champion they've had in the recent years since I've been watching the PPV's. Mind you, I never watch the weekly shows. Don't hate me for it I know I'm mostly all alone but for some reason I really don't care for AJ at all.

    I still wish Vince would have let him use his real name of Claudio Castagnoli, its sounds far more badass, almost like an Argento/Fulci Italian Horror score composer.:lol: Don't fell bad about not liking AJ, I only recently jumped on the bandwagon myself, I never really liked him in TNA, despite the fact that he was a great in ring performer, but for some reason I've warmed to him since he joined the WWE.

    Dorticos's defense looked highly suspect against his first WBSS opponent. His defense seems to be his offense. He better keep those hands moving nonstop against Gassiev.

    Dorticos is packing glass. I've been calling him a KO waiting to happen for years. (I think since he struggled with and carried a shot Pantera Miranda)

    Almost sure KO will happen both guys very explosive Dorticos is getting better since Miranda's fight the only survivor.

    He said Golovkin hits like a heavyweight, but Gassiev he said hits much harder than any real heavyweight Ola has ever sparred or fought.

    Gassiev does hit hard, no doubt about it, but he will not beat Usyk. Usyk is the world's best cruiserweight, Gassiev the second.....................Usyk could beat Parker and Wilder right now....................and I would not bet against him beating Joshua either, he is extremely skilled.................
