WWE
After putting a match of the year candidate with Triple H at Roadblock, I’m just waiting for the time when Ambrose gets his top billing as the companies # 1 baby face and they finally turn Reigns heel to capitalize on the hatred he already has against him. I will not be holding my breath since the WWE has had many opportunities to do that and they are so hell bent with having Reigns become the new face of the company there are ignoring the obvious.
I can’t imagine the WWE wanted the reaction they got from the audience when Reigns returned to attack Triple H. The boo’s that were raining down on him were a sign that the fans are sick of his push. He is not being utilized all that well and they need to figure out his character before he starts getting X-Pac heat. Make him what he was at TLC and the Monday after, he is a very good silent ass kicker, take the mic out of his hands and just let him beat people up. If he is that guy he may be able to turn some of this around and the fans may start cheering him. If the WWE continues pushing him he will never get to where they want him to go and he'll be out of the company in 5 years.
They are building the Y2J and AJ story perfectly especially since we have already seen these two wrestle 3 times. We got robbed out of a great AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens match that probably should have waited until a PPV. A screwy, way over done, distraction ending on Smackdown is no way to end the clinic that KO and AJ were putting on.
NXT
Kind of a rushed show this week Emma won in another squash match and the announcement of Bayley defending her title against Asuka should make for a great match and one that could be a match of the year candidate. American Alpha is set to collide with The Revival since they were named the new #1 contenders. Look for both of those matches to happen at Takeover.
TNA
Again they are just hit and miss. There is some good especially with the Drew Galloway cash in and anything that Beer Money does. I don’t know that building the show around Jeff Hardy was a wise Idea. However, getting the belt off Matt Hardy was great call. Matt was never heavyweight title material in his prime. forcing it on him and the fans now is just insulting. Now turn EC3 heel again so we can get a Galloway/ Carter feud.
ROH
The entire episode this week was dedicated to a tag team gauntlet match which was very exciting. Roppongi Vice picked up the win over the Young Bucks. ROH has some of the best tag teams in the world, especially when you team them up with NJPW. Red Dragon, the Young Bucks, Roppongi Vice, Motor City Machine Guns and the Addiction I could literally watch every day. The news that Christopher Daniels is thinking retirement is sad but he has given us a lot of enjoyment over the years and if he is going to hang it up I want to say thank you.
NJPW
We got the finals of the New Japan Cup and the prediction I had was wrong,although we got the match up I predicted just a little earlier. Michael Elgin lost in the Semi-finals to Hirooki Goto. Goto went on to lose to Tetsuya Naito in the finals. On the 4/10 show it looks like it will be Naito vs the “Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada. The Invasion Attack 2016 card is shaping up to be a good one.
Lucha Underground
Solid show this week, Lucha Underground is quickly becoming a must watch show for me. A couple of title changes the first being the Trios Championship that was won, in a very fun match by Son of Havoc, Ivelisse and Angelico. Then Fenix beat Mil Muertes to become the new Lucha Underground Champion in another really good match to end the show. Mil was a great champ hopefully Fenix can fill his shoes. We had a Chavo Guerrero sighting which is always fun but still no Jack Evans. I’m going to have to pull out my old ROH and Dragon Gate tapes to get my Jack Evans fix since this is three straight weeks he hasn’t given us a televised match.
GFW
The only thing noteworthy this week was Nick Aldis stating that he was a wrestling free agent which if that is true will really deal a blow to GFW since he is a must watch wrestler.
