Fun match. It had a story line, the match was overall is better than the various parts that made up the match.
Its a big deal in general, and the fact they got a crowd that didn't really know them into the match was a big test which they passed.

So glad I got to see Sara Del Rey do her thing a few times. Really awesome to see her in there for the presentation of this. She has been so important to this whole division since the WWE scooped her up as a trainer.

Wow, no 4HW angle. Wonder if they run something backstage.
Triple H is a huge mark for Japanese wrestling.

That was a great match IMO. Both ladies looked fab.
Right person won, too.

Sara Del Rey. NXT's female trainer. Was an amazing wrestler in her day.
The celebration feels rather anti-climactic. The CWC had the belt being awarded to TJP, had a great promo from him, a proper celebration with confetti and whatnot. There wasn't even a promo here from Kairi (in Japanese or broken English) or HHH or anyone.
That just sort of ended? I get that they have to get to 205 Live now but the finals of a tournament sandwiched between two shows seems like a bad idea.

You know Vince's crazy ass probably told Kevin, "you better headbutt me as hard as you can you son of a bitch".

Considering how the rest of the tournament was handled, not a surprise.
Yep, your talking about a guy who didn't put his hand up when Shawn destroyed him with a ladder to the head in his Wrestlemania match.

Hey, no worries. I see the talent there so you may not have the popular opinion but you've got the right one.

Other than the commentary, the tournament was handled really well IMO. So I don't know what you're getting at.

Agreed.
Actually in general the finals were portrayed very anti-climactically. I mean they filmed that in July, they couldn't have come up with actual trons or themes for the two finalists? Or pyro for a one off finals?

Having people duck spoilers for months before dumping the episodes in two blocks and not even mentioning it on Raw the night before?
It felt like a complete afterthought compared to how the CWC was handled.
I liked the lack of fanfare. The WWE tends to overdo things in terms of pre-event coverage, hype, recaps, celebrations, etc. This was right to the point without a lot of fluff.
Also, I would have bet real money on Shayna Baszler to win. I'm glad I was totally off on that. It was a good match and a fine ending to the tournament.

Shayna is better than Nia Jax and Dana ill give her that.

They gave their justification for dumping the episodes late, and given the Network rankings, it seems like the move worked to a degree. I thought it was a bad idea initially, but it seemed like it worked.
Not mentioning it on Raw I agree was weird and I've said as much, but the tournament was in no way handled poorly overall.

It did well on the network then? That'd be good news.

Didn't hear anything about the network rankings, but if the numbers are good then I can't argue with that.
Edit: Sort of wish they spent more time after, shame they had to wrap it up to get 205 Live out there.

Hopefully that head butt gets them mainstream attention. Otherwise it was really stupid.

The week that the first episodes dropped, they beat everything on the Network the week prior. The following week, when the second set dropped, both sets beat everything else on the Network. All eight of the most viewed programs last week on the Network were the 8 MYC episodes.
So yeah, it did well.
Yeah, the week the first four dropped, they were the top four viewed programs. The week the next four dropped, they were the top four followed by the previous four. So it was beating everything even a week after it came out.

So, no numbers but that does sound really good. Cool.

We don't get numbers for anything on the Network, so we can really only compare it against itself.

Wonder why Sasha wasn't there. And I wonder why they didn't do any 4HW vs 4HW tease.
Could we see Baslzer debut on SD next week

Seriously and the balls on Vince for taking that assault. Owens weighs over 260 and Vince is old as hell so yeah. They both brought it.
Not going to be around much tomorrow, so the WCW/NWO PPV of 9/13/2017 will be...
Bash at the Beach 2000. Picked by random number (90/99 WCW PPVS) Wow another historic 2000's PPV. The worked shoot by Russo that drove Hogan (and Bischoff) out of the Company! Vampiro versus the Demon in a Graveyard Match! A bunch of other shitty matches!

Ultimately I think it's a good thing they held off on the 4HW angle tonight. Let Kairi have her moment and be the star. You have a ton of time until Survivor Series to set that match up.
Ultimately my only real complaint is that the match only went 12 minutes, but with Shayna's limited offensive repertoire I can kind of understand it.
