Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O’Doomers!

Happy Labo(u)r Day for those who have enjoyed the long weekend and if you’re on the Southeastern coast in the United States please be careful as Hurricane Dorian decides to do whatever the heck it’s going to do.

RAW is live tonight and we’ve got two more weeks of programming before Clash of the Champions PPV. There have been some matches announced and I expect there will be more this week.

Luckily I didn’t watch 8 hours of wrestling Saturday. I’m a college football girl so I watched about 12 hours of that instead :). I did, however, catch the NXT UK event the next day and every accolade that’s been given to the Tyler Bate-WALTER match is well deserved. Tyler Bate is a special worker, I’ve felt that way since the first time I saw him. There are great workers and then there are talents that you have unfairly high expectations for and they just deliver each time. Tyler Bate is that kind of talent for him. I didn’t know what kind of story he and WALTER were capable of delivering and after 45 minutes of drama I found myself almost tearing up watching Dunne and Seven scrape our hero off the mat knowing he did everything in his power to win and it just wasn’t good enough. That’s wrestling at it’s finest.

As for tonight’s card. Samoa Joe-Ricochet and Cedric Alexander-Corbin make up your quarterfinal KotR matches. There’s a Bayley/Lynch vs. Bliss/Cross tag match that might be really good and Rey Mysterio and some form of Bray Wyatt are also scheduled. Oh and a contract signing between Rollins and Strowman. Those are always fun.

Baseball has been going on all day because it’s a holiday in the USA. We’ve got Notre Dame-Louisville football tonight. I might hop on HULU and watch that Harvey Weinstein documentary.

Keep it Clean!
