The east as a whole was a lot better last season. I personally can't see Chicago finishing higher than 6th (Cleveland, Boston, Toronto, Detroit and Indy will no doubt all be better than Chicago) and i'd put Charlotte above them too but maybe I'm just biased there. I'd put Chicago in the same group as New York, Atlanta, Washington and maybe Milwaukee as teams that should challenge for the final couple of playoff spots

A healthy DeMarre Carroll could do wonders for you guys. An upgrade at PF would be ideal. Patterson/Sullinger are decent but you could do better. If there was some way for you guys to pry Millsap away from ATL, i'd go for it

While Chicago signed a couple of good players...who will hit threes for them. In this day and age you have to have outside shooting and apart from Mirotic and McBuckets, the Bulls have nobody. I love D-Wade though and I love that they replaced one hometown hero (Rose) with another. I just don't see them competing this season. They'll be around the 8th seed but that's it. I'm looking for good improvement from my Hornets. Their coach (Steve Clifford) is one of the more underrated coaches in the entire league and with a healthy Kidd-Gilchrist, we should realistically be pushing for a top 4 seed in the east, probably fourth though as I think Cleveland, Toronto and Boston are the elite in the east

He was actually impressive in his CWC match against Gran Metalik so i figured he deserved some stats I mean, it's not like he is Eva Marie or anything

Just a little something I noticed...Alejandro Saez has literally no skills in anything

For someone who says he doesn't care (a lot) he sure seems to care...

<p>Have yet to watch Smackdown but I like the look of the new titles. Keeping a similar look throughout the company is a good idea. Better than a bunch of wacky designs.</p><p> </p><p> I might be in the minority but I also like the names. While it's generic, I think it's better than coming up with something stupid like the "Universal Championship." Just my opinion though</p>

<p>The Club vs Enzo & Cass vs New Day vs Vaudevillains - Fun opener. Cass is really improving in the ring. Couple of botched spots but with four teams I guess that could be expected.

It's a blood feud that needs a steel cage to contain them... these guys are chomping at the bit to fight each other but the match starts and they both try to escape the cage? I don't understand. It's like how the story in the previous matches was Balor surviving the monster that was Joe but considering he was standing, walking and posing as he celebrated, that story just didn't cut it for me neither. He should have won and then been stretchered out, that's how you sell "surviving" a big fight isn't it?<p> </p><p> This is the same inconsistent storytelling that dogs the main roster. The match on Wednesday was just a series of well-choreographed spots and I have no problem with that, if not for it being the yin to the yang of the story they've been building ever since the Dusty tag special. Which was a joke in itself because they put Joe and Balor on a pedestal above their entire tag division, just to have Joe turn on him. The Dusty Special accomplished nothing to me because you could have done that story without the tournament and you could have done it without making your whole tag division look secondary to four singles guys that clubbed together just for the tournament. Although, to be fair, Corbin & Rhyno vs. American Alpha was absolutely brilliant. </p><p> </p><p> Then they did the title change, just a day or two after Balor broke the record reign. They obviously wanted to do the title change but they felt they couldn't do it until Balor had broken the record. Because he's liked by management, basically.</p><p> </p><p> But that's only the tip of the iceberg. They then did the title change. On a house show. I didn't agree with this because even if you want to sell it as though <strong><em>things happen on house shows,</em></strong> changing the world champion on a show that 99.9% of your audience won't see is a total slap in the face. You have two minor titles, change one of those if this is the narrative you want to sell. But then, it was revealed that the match was fully recorded for later video packages which makes it even more scumbag that they only showed 30 seconds of it. Just imagine for 30 seconds (the amount of that match you've seen) if TNA pulled that. No NXT, you do not get a free pass for this.</p><p> </p><p> And the worst part is that I liked most of the TakeOver special. I loved Tye Dillinger getting a great pop, I liked seeing Austin Aries get the spotlight against Nak, the tag title match was awesome and Nia Jax proved again that she's a legitimately good worker. But then I rant like that because of one small section of the show that reminded me of all that is wrong with NXT. A feud that has stunk the brand out for me. An uninteresting champion in Balor, who was working so hard on house shows that he barely did anything on NXT TV tapings. And that in turn lead to weeks of dry television, with skippable matches and a load of average, pre-recorded segments and promos that lacked in energy and urgency and all around quality. There's so much main roster nonsense going on down in NXT now, you can't tell me you watched Balor vs. Joe on Wednesday and thought it was any different from any main roster cage match of the last 10 years.</p><p> </p><p> Here's to hoping that NXT TakeOver: The End is the end of this nadir and maybe NXT can go back to being a quality alternative again.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> All of this...I will say two things though...The Dusty tag team classic is where I think American Alpha "arrived" so to speak. That match was amazing.</p><p> </p><p> And I think Nia Jax is just the worst</p>

Could be mistaken but don't think he has been on WWE tv for the past two weeks, maybe three with the exception of his video from the set of The Marine 5. I read somewhere (can't find where I read it) that he was to be away until the end of June as shooting finishes on the 24th (i think.) But like I said in my post, it's not a big deal and he will probably be back before Fleisch puts out another upgrade. I just comment on things I notice when I play
