Superstars:
- Bo vs. Fandango:
Fandango's a solid undercard wrestler, and I wish he got more credit for that.
Fine match overall.
Crazy promo from the Cosmic Wasteland, as usual. If Stardust was channeling Scott Steiner with his jab at the Dudleys, he gets props from me. Steiner should have a weekly segment calling out FAAAAAAT ASSES or whomever is annoying him that week. We have enough recaps of previous shows.
- Cosmic Wasteland vs. Dudleys/Ryback:
I think Stardust is having a lot of fun out there. He's a talented guy, and I'm glad he made something out of this gimmick. I still wish they would have finished the feud with Goldust, but I also enjoyed how Stardust did in the MITB match.
Nice match overall.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Here are results from night one of ROH's Survival of the Fittest:
- The angle with Dalton's boys is one of the only things in ROH to care about after the flips and superkicks get old. That's good, since it's about episode 3 when you're sick of all the flashy fireworks.
- Nice nod to Corino's old gimmick since the "real" Corino is banned from commentary after hitting Whitmer with a roll of quarters in the other good angle ROH is doing.
The Bella Twins were rushed back to their hotel after being in proximity to the recent attacks in Paris. I'm glad they got out of there safely. I wish the same could have been said for others in the area.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'm not upset at Cena staying out of the quest for the WWE Title! He's held it plenty of times. Maybe he's biding his time to see what Del Rio's gameplan is before returning to challenge him again. Hell, maybe he's a t home with his hurt wife and occasionally watching what Del Rio did in Mexico after leaving WWE to "scout" him, although I strongly doubt WWE will acknowledge him wrestling elsewhere. As for Brock, Heyman could be advising him to wait and see what happens in the tournament before challenging the winner. He could also be keeping an eye on the Wyatts feud. Or he's just off hunting and isn't concerned about the title right this minute. Sometimes it's fun to fill in the gaps yourself.
2. That looks to be the case.
3. They might just be trying to weather the storm as best as they can without bringing in any other part-timers. They're probably saving some tricks up their sleeves for Mania season. Although you'd think someone like RVD would, in kayfabe, see this as an opportunity to be champ again.
4. What they said. His estate has the rights to his image.
5. It'd be different if he called it ECW House of Hardcore or something. Just "House of Hardcore" is fine since he's not trying to imply he's associated with WWE's property.
More wrestling tomorrow.
