All in all the show has loads of potential but they have some kinks to work out.

Gallagher could get over on RAW 100% positive.
Also really happy Rich Swann won |

First match is pretty skippable but Gallagher's debut and Kendrick-Swann were pretty good tonight.

Kendrick Swann with the crowd involved felt like a cwc match. I don't think a cruiser match since the CWC has had that feeling

The first forty minutes was like they never even canceled superstars.
I love Gallagher and Swann and Kendrick, but Jesus Christ was a lot of this episode painful. I'm hopeful it will get better, but it's got some ways to go first. Which means next week will see Ho Ho Lun wrestle one of the Bollywood Boyz for 20 minutes before Cedric Alexander w/ Alicia Fox loses to Ariya Daivari w/ Emmalina in a burqa, completing the Brody's Clay-like never ending debut hype. |

I adore Kendrick, but I've not enjoyed him in the main roster Slowweight division. Was fantastic in the CWC though, but even now, I'm glad he couldn't handle that.
The roster is stacked with talent, so no idea why you'd have Bollywood on the first segment unless it was a squash. I mean, Tozawa needs to shine and isn't on your first episode? |

They've got some kinks to work out, but ultimately this was pretty good. They're trying to get these guys over. The roster seems...lacking. I don't know what it is, but it just seems like a bunch of normal guys. Jack Gallagher is an amazing man though. I was wondering who the babyface you build to beat up Kendrick should be, and now I've decided that it should be Gallagher.
Swann winning the title to make the first episode stand out makes sense, but honestly, I've been underwhelmed by the guy. I think he will get better and better, but it's hard to find that natural appeal with his story without making it sound like a pity party. |

I'll probably give it another shot next week. I'm curious to see who they put Swann against, because they seem to be moving Kendrick towards TJ Perkins. Maybe they just build to a Triple Threat?

Watching Kenrick/Swann now.
Holy shit the suplex with Kendrick on his head, the neck breaker on the top turnbuckle. Sliced bread looked good. Nice triple kick to win it. Great match by both, never knew alot about Swann, head of him before but wasn't a follower. I sure am now. |

Are there non-racist reasons to be annoyed by The Bollywood Boyz? I just want to check, because I really don't give a fuck about them and I just want to make sure I'm not a piece of shit.

They beat a legit team of badasses that has had a little bit of steam on Raw. So, there is that.

Yeah, it would have been nice if Gulak & Nese's team got to build some more momentum over Herp and Derp. Gallagher could have opened the show.

Was thinking..the Bollywood Boyz seem wasted not on the main roster of either show as a tag team given how awful the tag rosters are. Separate they're never going to amount to anything even within the cruiser dividion and without cruiser tag titles it seems pointless to keep an actual tag team around for 205 live and random cruiser tag matches.

They would never amount to anything in the tag division either, and we don't really need another jobber team.

I'd be fine for The Bollywood Boyz to get killed by heels who mean a damn, like The Revival.

The Bollywood Boys fucking suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk super hard. Can't stand them. Shit to watch.
Jack Gallagher is absolutely incredible. He needs to be a feature on this show. Main event was dope. Would have preferred Kendrick to have a longer run, but I like Swann, so it's all good. |

Noam Dar can fuck off too. Good lord, what a horrible promo. They have all those guys, and he gets more air time than most. Fucking why? He's terrible.

Cause he's from Isreal. Also he's buddies with Finn Balor. Mostly it's his hebrewnes.

Was it just me, or did Jack Gallagher get a reaction during his match?

I had to check, because that seems like something that never happens anymore, especially with the CW guys.

The two faces with personality in Gentleman Jack and Swann do get reactions, it's nice.
