They didn't edit out the spot on TV.

He should've noticed a slower count though. They might count to 20 in Japan, but it's a faster count as well. Would've been roughly the same amount of time.

I've always sort of wanted to see that on TV, where a guy just doesn't really hear the count or something and gets counted out by accident.

That match was 4/5 for me. 4.5 when I watched it, but it goes down a bit now that I think about how Ibushi was such a superman.

What the hell was that?

What a match. Awesome finish.

It's a shame Sabre Jr. and Ibushi aren't signing. They would be two massive additions. Tony Nese as well.

Sounds like the official cruiserweight division is starting with 10:

Johnny Gargano
Tommaso Ciampa
Brian Kendrick
TJ Perkins
Noam Dar
Jack Gallagher
Cedric Alexander
Rich Swann
Gran Metalik
Akira Tozawa

This is great and all, but it's even better when you've got 5 second clips of Holy Foley being randomly spliced into the show. You guys are really missing out cuz i think it's just an Aus thing

If the Cruiserweight division goes to the heights we all think it can go, Rich Swann is the one that's taking it there.


Wish he got a run in NXT but looks like I'm not going to get it. If people are in NXT to "learn and develop," don't understand why it doesn't apply to these guys too, not that they need a lot of it.

Rumor has it that they will work RAW and NXT. So I could a rotating cast doing spots on RAW but spending most of their time at the PC and working NXT tapings as well.

Who's the favorite to go over tomorrow night at the live finale? Ibushi or Sabre Jr. would be the best choices, I don't think too many people would argue otherwise, but they are also the 2 out of the 4 who aren't signing a contract.

It'll likely be Perkins, IMO.

I would love to see a swerve and have Ibushi win and surprise he is under contract (making all his talk about not signing just a red herring).

Most likely I think its going to be Perkins. He will get the big upset over Ibushi and then win the whole thing and we know he is already on his way to RAW. I think TJP is actually pretty marketable he sorta has that star factor.

Anyways should be an excellent 2 hours. Its too bad its coming to an end what an amazing 10 weeks it has been.
