    Being a mid carder in status is not the same as working the midcard.

    Angle, Jericho, Benoit were upper midcard guy, just beneath the title, but were always built as legitimate threats to the World Championship.

    Angle - Debuts on tv late 1999, has his IC Title/Euro title run, then has a big time program with HHH and wins the strap from The Rock at the end of 2000 and he even got a win over The Undertaker.

    Nobody remember who wins 20 years later, sure, but it is about drawing money in the moment. What people remember 20 years alter is not relevant to this topic of discussion.

    Yes, 90% of the show are midcarders, that is the problem. They are presented as midcards who are not threats to the real stars, Brock, Taker etc. Fan perception is different from what time they are used on the card.

    The midcard back then was perceived differently to know, because it wasn't 50/50 booking.

    Anyone need a pair of tickets for NXT Houston on Thursday? I have section 101, row E, seats 23 & 24. I'm just asking for face value, which was $68.25 per ticket ($136.50 total) after fees.

    Finn Balor v. Tyler Breeze for the title is the main event.

    I don't understand all the Tyler Breeze love.

    I don't rate him.

    In the ring, he is fine. A spinning heel kick as a finish is a bit how's ya father though.

    The gimmick just sucks. It's the same sort of ***** I hate about the real world, with all the selfies and such. It gives me the X pac heat.

    Corbin and Breeze I don't see why they bother.

    Mojo Rawley's gimmick is unsustainable while I'm at it.

    I like Breeze's character. Corbin and the hacker guy not so much.

    Team B.A.D. would be soooooo much better without Tamina.

    No they wouldn't. Tamina is perfect for it.

    I honestly just want Sasha to be on her own.

    Who all is going tomorrow night? I am driving down mid afternoon. My ticket includes a meet and greet thing before the show. Is anyone else doing that?

    Team B.A.D. was a really genius pairing. Sasha and Naomi are very similar with their characters and Tamina is great as the muscle of the group. Sasha is the star and the only one who's going to be a champion. Plus I love there shirt design and Tamina looks hot now with how she fixes her hair and that leather jacket. Damn.

    I wish they'd take all the Bellas group off TV after she drops the title on Sunday or after the rematch.

    PCB should be broken up as they are all legit title holders and there promos are corny together as is the joining fingers thing. But that will definately happen once Paige turns on Charlotte for the belt. I already see them building that story. Paige losing every match in the Sasha fued, getting frustrated and realizing she's not the elite force she thought she was before the revolution began.
