Parade of Champions tonight and Mauro on commentary? Awesome stuff!

The only thing that's a bit annoying is that we will have to wait a long time before we get the see the matches and that stuff will get spoiled all over the place again..

Would had prefered a live Show for tonight and tomorrow instead.

 

[Jmerc]

That reminds me... same rules as last time apply:

 

IMPORTANT SPOILER RULE:

Since the episodes are released on demand (1-4 this Monday, 5-8 the following week), Jmerc and I are gonna ask you guys to spoiler tag posts involving what goes on during the matches, about who advanced or stuff like that within 5 days of whatever batch of episodes (1-4, 5-8). Please include what episode/s the tag references outside the tag to encourage discussion but ensure people only see what they want to see.

As an example (no actual spoilers included):

EPISODE 2 SPOILERS!

That match between X and Y was so awesome! Yay women! Yay wrestling!

 

 

This won't apply starting the saturday after the second batch is released and once we get to the live finals obviously since that'll be live.

[LEGION]

Says no actual spoilers included

 

Spoils the whole tournament :/

[E#37]

Any word yet on when it will be put on demand?

[Guest]

I'd assume the first patch would be out like 3 weeks before the finals and the next patch the following week. So that'll give them at least one week to promote the finals at Evolution.

[Masked Idol]

Final 8 predictions? Mine are:

 

1. Ashley Rayne

2. Deonna Purrazzo

3. Io Shirai

4. Kaitlyn

5. Meiko Satomura

6. Mercedes Martinez

7. Rhea Ripley

8. Toni Storm

 

I think that's a pretty solid group although there are a couple of other women I'd rather see in there.

MYC premieres Wednesday Sept. 5th following NXT https://twitter.com/MaeYoungClassic/status/1027197192120004608?s=19

 

Commentators are Michael Cole, Beth Phoenix, and Renee Young. Nice!

 

Sounds like a weekly airing like the CWC instead of on demand. I like that

[Lil' Kazu]

Michael Cole? I'm out.

[Guest]

We put respeck on Michael Cole's name when he's commentating without Vince in his ear.

[Creepia]

Yeah Cole's good at his job, when he's not in Vince mode. The first UK tournament is a testament to that, as was the Beast in The East show.

[BestInTheWorld614]

Im so happy its weekly like the CWC

[Lil' Kazu]

I have a Pavlovian reaction to his voice.

[Oresama]

I'm cool with Cole doing this, he was good on last year's UKCT. This team should be significantly better than last year's.

[Counting Lights]

Did they pull Mauro? That sucks. Still a good team though. Like others have said, Cole is good when he's not plugging Vince's shit nonstop on RAW.

Mauro will do the Bracketology. Too bad he won't be doing the commentary since I like him much more than cole on it. Let's hope Michael will do better in MYC than he does in the Weekly Shows.

[Ziggy Vercetti]

I remember Cole surprising a lot of people when he commentated one show. I expect the same for this

[Guest]

They heard Taz will be watching, so they decided to prevent those rants on Mauro now.

[Lil' Kazu]

I remember Cole surprising a lot of people when he commentated one show. I expect the same for this

 

Yeah, because he wasn't as bad as usual. Still wasn't great.

[Oresama]

He doesn't need to be great, he just needs to not be JR. Last year's commentary was dire.
