    Again, if it's good does it matter? Does it make NXT and NXT UK any less good if it's owned by Vince too? A good option is a good option, regardlesss of the source.

    Yes it does. I don't want the unique identity of a promotion or region to be sacrificed for WWE branded wrestling. McDonald's is fine for what it is but I don't want it everywhere. Knowing what happened with the UK the WWE wants it to be the only option.

    You're sort of mixing 2 different discussions. Me saying that NXT is the best alternative to main roster WWE despite having the same owner doesn't really have a whole lot to do with WWE going into other regions.

    Any theories as to which Japanese fed WWE partnered with for this?

    Do elimination chamber matches usually have contract signings

    The difference between this Raw and last week's Raw is night and day.

    The brackets for the New Japan Cup came out today. Anyone have any predictions?

    I've got Ishii and Ibushi in the finals with Ishii winning it.

    I guessed right!

    All Japan has money. NOAH did not and they said no. DDT hates WWE, often mocking it. NJPW is the big gun. Dragon Gate is safe, too.

    Inoki's fed just went under ... maybe they capture that one? But that one is going to China now ...

    It's probably one of the smaller feds with a WWE connection.

    Way back in October, too.

    Cool thing about W-1 (if any of this is true) is that it potentially means WWE might do something with Muta. In the least a Hall of Fame Induction and being in the 2K game. But maybe even a match if there's anything left in the tank.

    The Great Muta, Jushin Liger, and Ultimo Dragon got me into puro. So yeah, I'd love that personally.

    His Keiji Mutoh work is better, IMHO.

    Muta/Mutoh is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers.

    So NXT Set up Fin Balor vs. WALTER, and AEW set up PAC vs Orange Cassidy

    NXT:

    Finn vs. WALTER, oh this should be fun.

    Xia got a nice win, cool.

    The Charlotte vs. Bianca match was good, but I didn't care for the ending. Charlotte's weird no-selling recently continues. Also I don't like that Bianca is just a sacrificial lamb for the Rhea/Charlotte feud, but that's probably more on Vince than Hunter.

    IF Io can go, then she should win the #1 Contender ladder match imho. And if not, then Shotzi please.

    AEW:

    Kenny vs. Pac was fantastic.

    Pac vs. OC is, intriguing.

    The Women's Match was quite good to, and they really need to start doing more with Shida in the near future.

    Jurassic Express got a big win, cool.

    Looking forward to seeing what they do with Lance Archer.

    Moxley should win at Revolution, they need to not drag this out. He's white hot and you don't want to risk undercutting that. Plus Jericho's been champ for like half a year and he's beaten everyone else in the upper card.
