After a classic last night, Okada was on his way to another with Ibushi, when Ibushi broke his arm in the G1 final during a Phoenix Splash. It was awful. Just awful. I don't think I have ever seen Kota or Okada like that. Truly heartbreaking. I hope he recovers fully and soon.

Still, Okada has the contract. He's going to Wrestle Kingdom. Time to make it Rain once again!

Also, Shibata had a five minute exhibition match with ZSJ. It was awesome.

Bobby Lashley has spent the last year having great matches and all around being awesome. And yet, nothing has made me appreciate him more, then watching him wrestle for two right now. He's literally jumping in and out of the ring wrestling, and grabbing everything they need, as Goldberg lays on the ground. Also all this talking up of falls counting anywhere. Is there really any chance Goldberg leaves ring side?
 
Goldberg can barely move, Lashley having to sell this ****. I can't believe they have went with the idea that Lashley did anything wrong, after Goldberg's kid attacked him. :doh:
 
This is the first time I'm watching one of these Saudi Arabia PPVs.

It's amazing how few women are in the crowd, if any at all.
 
I have to confess I got the Network back for this, it just got my morbid curiosity.

Against all odds it was a very good card with mostly all right results. Even Goldberg put his best foot forward even if him beating Lashley is cringey as hell.

In regards Ibushi, guy needs to do a safer style at this point.

You need an adult male escort I believe. That along with what they make the women wear... It's unsettling.

I don't know if you watched it but there was some really weird things happening all night in regards the women. Jess the ref is usually animated but she was very subdued reffing the opening match.

The wrestlers were all trying very hard to not interact with the audience, even the faces. The only time I saw someone interact with the crowd was Goldberg and they were boys, no girls.

The breast cancer survivor segment was wholesome though I will give them that. Probably the biggest pop of the night went to those women so it wasn't all negative.

I watched a lot of it. Honestly, about halfway through, I just wasn't into anymore. Just felt off. I had never watched a full one of these. Just the main events and such. I got too much of a bad vibe in general.

Was Jess the one in the Cell? If so, I saw her. She did seem a bit different then usual.
 
Okay, that's a card I wanna see
 
Sean Ross Sapp reporting Becky and Charlotte got into a heated exchange backstage after their segment on Smackdown.

From what I saw of the segment it was Charlotte that was behaving erratically, between taking her time to take the belt off and then not handing Becky the title. It came across as very disrespectful.

Then she cheap popped the crowd for a title unification match after they were chanting for it, even though they're clearly not going with that story, and by doing so she made Becky look weak.

Charlotte said she was afraid of looking weak apparently. Was complaining about it all day, because like the fans wanted, Becky wanted to hold both belts for moment. Classic, "Becky 2 Belts" stuff, teasing the potential Mania match. Congrats Charlotte, you made yourself look weak. The only person who came out of that segment looking good is Becky. Because the fans love Becky. They have made that clear on multiple continents this week.

Felt bad for Becky, Sasha and Sonya. They were left with a child throwing a tantrum, because she's jealous. I get why Becky reacted the way she did. Everyone else in that division has given a lot to Charoltte, and she acts like that? Also, it was good work from Sonya and Sasha to try and keep things on rails.

There is talk that Becky and Charlotte are no longer friends. I wonder who's fault that is? :o

Probably going to be Becky vs. Sasha at SS now. :funny:

Every time they do that stupid "belt exchange" it looks ridiculous. WWE has 3 easy ways of avoiding that stupidity:
1. Make champions off-limits from drafting
2. Change the Women's titles' names to something else (World/Universal maybe).
3. They could have let Bianca win the title on Monday and Sasha win on Thursday. Boom, both title are on their correct, respective brands.

They make stuff so much harder on themselves than need be.

That's the answer. The brand title names are ridiculous. Especially as they haven't done that for the Men's titles outside the tags.

I still think there should be one proper champion in each division, that can cross over. But as the WWE doesn't see their titles as anything more then props, I guess it doesn't matter.

In other news...
