Superstars Reax - 4/9/16, Namakura wounded, Interview with Enzo, where Doc and Karl are, LU releases MVP, and Questions on WM32 booking, Ryder losing to Miz, WWE's roster cuts, WM33, and Brock beating Taker

Superstars:
- Fandango vs. Ryback:
Fandango is about to be kill. :(

Nice action so far. I like Fandango doing the little things that make the match more than moves.

Fandango's getting in more offense than I expected.

Ohhh... well, he was. That was fine for what it was.

I hope this promo doesn't mean they're ending the Outcasts.

PHEW. Bo Train lives on.

- Bo vs. Kalisto:
I like the pushing back and forth thing. Bo's a pretty fun character.

Kalisto's a really great flyer. Sure, he doesn't have great promo skills or anything, but he's fine as a mid-level flippy guy.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Nakamura received stitches after a match in NXT. It didn't take long for him to get his first WWE battle scars.

Enzo Amore discussed his previous job moving pianos. They absolutely need to have a segment with Enzo and Cass as piano movers. "I'm here to move ya piano. I'm pickin' it up ONE TIME and one time only. How ya doin?"

Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson answered a recent sign held up by Finn Balor. I wouldn't be shocked if WWE makes Doc change his Twitter handle referencing TNA.

MVP was released from Lucha Underground after inadvertently violating his contract by interviewing talents on his podcast. I assume some of it was spoiler-related. That's pretty serious kayfabing. LU takes their contracts VERY seriously.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Vince had final say, as always.

2. Ryder losing so quickly to Miz means Owens doesn't get a rematch (moving right into feuding with Zayn), and gave momentum to the new pairing of Miz and Maryse. Remember Miz was THIS close to winning at WM32 itself. I don't think it hurt the IC Title at all. It meant so much to Miz and Maryse that she jumped the rail to help him win it, and it meant a LOT to Ryder to win it. It's silly to think Miz hasn't gotten a rub or momentum yet; we're not even a week into his title reign!

3. All those things, and a lot of times releases were ways of cutting costs. Especially during the huge investment that was/is the WWE Network. WWE still has some minor "Black Fridays" in NXT every so often.

4. We'll see when WWE hits Orlando.

5. Brock winning was such a shock I remember people saying the referee messed up the call or plans were changed because Taker got his bell rung during the match. Crazy times.

More wrestling tomorrow.
