Episode 51 - Wednesdays Are For Wrestling

The Brothers of Discussion give you all of the ins and outs of the best days for Pro Wrestling: Wednesdays. Now that NXT has a brother show in NXT UK, pro wrestling has hit its Zenith! We talk Heavy Machinery, Velveteen Dream heading into War Games, Gargano’s promo, the beauty of Toni Storm and Dakota Kai’s match, the NXT UK audience, and a couple of things happening on RAW and SmackDown. Check it out!

We’re one week away from the one year anniversary!


***********SHOW NOTES*******************


Vic Joseph, Percy Watson, Nigel McGuiness


-First things first! Heavy Machinery takes out The Forgotten Sons (Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, Jaxson Ryker on the side of the ring), DOZ with an incredible pop up powerslam-the compactor avoided, gets Doz over


-Kai defeated taynara Conti

Johnny Gargano cuts promo of...not a lifetime...but like of a fortnight’s worth, cuz hiz is usually gud
-Velveteen Dream loses to Lars due to Ciampa interference, but he hit a damn impressive Death Valley Driver on Lars, that’s a lot of beef to lift! But you keep the Leviathan relevant with the win



NXT UK
Dakota Kai loses to Toni Storm :( - only difference in these wrestlers is Toni Storm’s beautiful hair and well placed facial structure. Dakota wrestles like a female Danny Burch, those kicks are strong, the pacing is perfect, the in-ring chemistry was really good, allowing Dakota to show the “scouting” of Toni and hit her running kick in the corner when Toni was sizing up her running knees in the corner


Danny Burch loses to the Bruuuuuuuuiserweight

-Trent Seven now the David Lee Roth of NXT UK, after we don’t hear a peep from him in NXT

Zac Gibson receives my favorite heat chant to tune of Seven Nation Army “Zaaaac Gibson’s a Waaaankerrr” or “SHINY HEAD, SHINY HEAD”

Totally different presentation style for UK, a lot more back and forth with the smaller crowd, less emphasis on camera angles, music, aesthetic, more focus on playing to the crowd and well...wrestling


6-man tag Coffey Brothers Wolfgang, Mark Andrews, Flash Webster Morgan, Ashton Smith


Compare it to Velveteen Dream’s pomp & circumstance or Lars Sullivan coming up without spotlight behind him, deliberate camera work



RAW

Drew McIntyre proves he’s ready to be Universal Champion


Authors of Pain win the tag titles


SD LIVE

  • Do we need AJ Styles or Becky Lynch to get the win at Survivor Series

Nikki Cross makes her in-ring debut - the most exciting thing Sanity has been involved in since getting the call-up, i screamed along with Nikki’s entrance song :) however, is this a real “call-up”, what with the Candace feud on the horizon? Or a Dakota Kai situation, where she’ll kind of float between brands?


Mysterio and Almas have a good match..but what the fuck…


Miscellaneous: Stephanie mcMahon makes two big statements this week

  • The WWE could be as big as Disney

  • “If we’re doing our job right, then we’re always making new superstars”
