Cannot believe the Yankees lost the series to the shitty Blue Jays. Betances is killing my squad.

Oh and NXT was alright.

Hey guys!

Jay from Pittsburgh, the gay correspondent for Live Audio Wrestling here (or at least one of them). Not sure if you were referring to me on Review-A-Raw, but I did explain to Braden why Zack Sabre, Jr. was a twink during the CWC last summer.

Sounded like Toronto Pride was a great time this year. Maybe next year I can head up and you guys can be my celebrity wingmen.

Have to hand it to Bobby Roode. I still find him boring overall but his big matches against Nakamura, Itami and Strong have all varied from decent to very good.

Question: With Bobby Fish debuting at the last tapings, guys like Cole, O'Reilly and Dijak should follow soon. If you could bring 2 acts to NXT not named Kenny Omega or the Young Bucks, who would they be? I'd go with Ricochet and Marty Scurll.

I'm digging Wolfe and Dain as a tag team way more than I thought I would. I really hope that Thicci Cross gets the Women's title at some point, she's been putting in work lately. Unfortunately, the main event did nothing for me, as Roode's style in the ring has never been appealing to me, and I figured there was no way in hell Roderick was going to win.

Question: With the dusty finish in the main event, do you think this sets up a rematch for Brooklyn? If not, who do you think will step up the the Glorious Reality?

Two Part Question:

Part 1: A lot of the big calls ups from NXT are former main eventers and NXT champions. Thing is there's just not enough room on the main roster for all these guys to be main eventers, and there is only going to be even less room as time goes on. Do you think NXT adequately prepares wrestlers, and the fans for that matter, to be main roster mid carders?

Part 2: Which leads me to Bobby Roode, it's clear he's far outlived the need to be in NXT but where does he fit on the main roster? His gimmick is a main event gimmick but is there room for him in that scene? Can he work and be successful as a mid carder?

Not a bad main event. I was a little sleepy until I saw the original pinfall which woke me up. Nice to see dusty finishes and shock value thrown in once in a while. Like most people, I find Bobby a little slow for NXT (very Triple H-ish style). What gimmick match, and what current NXT star could you throw him in to give him a 5 star match?

*Also, on Review a Raw when Jason said people don't like you guys as much as John & Wai, I disagree. I'm a millenial, but I'm also a comedic pessimistic asshole, so I feel like I relate to both of you

Anyone notice that after the match, Roddy's fiancée was calling Booby Roode a "cheater"?  Last time I checked, putting your foot under the ropes to break a pin isn't cheating, it's great ring awareness and showing full knowledge of the rulebook.  Roode didn't cheat to win the match.  There was a heelish blindside by Roode in the chaos of the Dusty finish, but no outright cheating.  Do you think it was planned to have her react like a clueless mark?  Or is she just a clueless mark?

It might just be the fact I'm watching much later than normal, but NXT was just "Meh" this week. Nothing special to write home about.

Question: Some site were reporting that the Mae Young Classic will be uploaded to the network in 4-episode blocks. If true, what are your thoughts on binge watching wrestling & how will you review it for the LAW (1 episode per podcast or one block per podcast)?

Love NXT this week there was not a lot of matches but we set up a few things.

The tag match with Sanity vs Ohno and Hadaio set up the singles match and built up Sanity

The little video set up a Mae Young classic the Ember Ruby feud and we say the further evolution of Almas the party boy. The other things that helps is who is not on the show. Having characters get weeks off makes them feel fresh.

Is there someone in developmental you want to see on TV? Or is there Tag team not called the Young Bucks you want to see added to NXT

Love the show, listen while working out and this is one of if not my favorite tag team in wrestling, keep up the good work
