Dudleys came back to put over the young guys, and to help them learn some of the finer points of tag team wrestling. That is what Bubba and D-Von always said, and they stayed true to that. I don't think the Hardys, who could call their own shots in the indys, are coming back to be 'enhancement talent.'

Looking at him, it does seem as though Stat Guy Greg is indeed physically strong.

Cheap Heat this week was a ton of great interviews. These guys killed it.

Most of the tickets they added are all $80. Don''t think Universal and Disney are that cheap...

To be fair, the are all top row nosebleed seats.

Unless you mean that block that is right around the ring area, but those don't appear to be released seats. The upper deck seats would be released this close to an event, not premium seats.

Raw - HHH tease, Lesnar, and now most likely something involving Angle.

Smackdown - Lawler does a talkshow segment and we are getting a full night of Ellsworth being dressed like an idiot.

I'm sure that this has NOTHING to do with Smackdown getting a win over Raw....

That's a lot of appearances for someone who is a 'part time' talent. You have to figure he is going to do more than stand in a ring while Heyman talks...perhaps part of the story going forward is Lesnar proving himself, or cutting a path through the roster after his Survivor Series loss?

I honestly felt horrible for Swann last night.

As soon as the Smackdown main event finished, roughly half the people got up and left. They tried to keep people there, promising a Smackdown dark Main Event after 205, but it didn't help. And of those who did stick, it was a constant stream of people getting up and leaving. By the time we got to the Cruiserweight title match, the arena was mostly empty. Considering that they had tarped off most of camera side and all of the upper deck to start...it wasn't good.

Watching the camera crew, it became clear fast that all the shots were low angle to focus on the ring. After the Bollywood match, the lights on the lower bleachers were dimmed further, and the cameramen stopped getting up on the aprons for shots. I didn't see any shots taken of the announcers (AND YOU HAVE A SURPRISE COMMENTATOR TO SHOW OFF) because the entire section behind them was pretty much empty.

What I kept thinking last night after I left was the fact that it wasn't until halfway thru the title match that a producer walked a line of 'fillers' around to fill up the gaps opposite camera side. I had already moved up - but security wasn't allowing anyone to get in to the lower seats (the ones that could be seen on camera) without a ticket. And it's not just the camera shots that get effected - when you're the only person sitting in your row, you don't feel like part of a crowd and don't react as much to the action. Maybe we just did a bad job welcoming the WWE to Columbia, but I'd worry if this becomes a trend for future 205 shows. WWE should consider the amount of people there JUST for AJ Styles and Ambrose, and be prepared to condense the fans down once 205 starts.

Considering that the crowd was chanting Goldberg at at least three other occasions during the night on their own with no prompting...I kinda doubt those were piped in. I know, I didn't expect it either...

This is a great way to build up Asuka for a main roster debut (eventually). Beating up on the women in NXT is one thing, but a known commodity with a LONG history in the WWE? Even given that she is older (but really doesn't look it), it still gives Asuka a chance to show her ability, and establishes her as a threat to someone higher up than, say, Bayley. Best case scenario this goes on for more than Takeover and builds up to a solid story, but I don't have my hopes up too far for that.
