Do you see talents in NXT that you are sure won’t ever make the main roster?

Yea, I do. 

If so who are they?

I won’t ever say that, for two reasons.  For one thing, I don’t think it’s fair to the wrestler since they are still learning.  For another, if they improve I would look like a schmuck for burying them prematurely.  There have been a lot of late bloomers.

Has WWE done a bad PPV in a year? Not a card with a bad match you're always gonna get something that isn't your taste.  But as a whole card has there been a bad one?

As I said in my blog last week, SummerSlam was the first card of the Triple H era where I left unsatisfied.  With that said, it wasn’t anywhere close to a bad show.  There were at least three great matches and other good ones.  So no, I would say that WWE has not done a bad PPV in the past year.

I’m sure there’s an answer out there, but I’m just not finding it: what options are there for seeing All In for cord-cutters such as myself?

The show will air on Bleacher Report in the US for streamers.

What did you think of Jimmy Uso’s explanation for what he did to his brother?

While I didn’t like the ending of the Jey Uso-Roman Reigns match, I think it was nuanced storytelling with Jimmy’s explanation.  If they weren’t going to put the belt on Jey, they needed to do something.  Again, I didn’t love it but I do love the character growth that we saw for Jey on Smackdown.  Jimmy said he did it because he loved his brother, then immediately selfishly went into making it about himself and what would happen to him if Jey won.  The old Jey may have fallen for it but after all of the “me first” stuff he endured with Roman Reigns, he wasn’t going to be fooled this time.  I liked that Jey, who has always been the family guy who tried to keep it all together, now realizes that his relatives are out for themselves and he acted accordingly.
