-NXT is in Tampa, Florida at University area CDC Gymnasium on Friday with the local crew.
-NXT is in Crystal River, Florida at Crystal River Armory on Saturday with the local crew.
-Saturday’s NJPW G1 Special received a major vote of A as the letter grade with 67 percent of the vote. Only three percent gave the show a C grade, and there were no votes for D or F. I gave the show an A- grade in my audio review.
-The readers voted Kenny Omega vs. Cody as the best match of the NJPW G1 Special with 38 percent of the vote. Second place went to Hiromu Takahashi vs. Dragon Lee with 29 percent of the vote, and third place went to Jay White vs. Juice Robinson with 24 percent of the vote. The only other match to receive votes was Young Bucks vs. Evil and Sanada with 8 percent of the vote.
-Monday’s WWE Raw received a majority vote of C as the letter grade with 42 percent of the vote. I also gave the show a C grade.
-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown Live received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 47 percent of the vote. I agree with the readers in that it was an entertaining show, though it was missing the big final punch to sell viewers on something in particular about Extreme Rules.
