No Cape Bretoner either!

Hilarious but accurate analogy!

hehehehe

Agreed on both counts.

Sports entertainment scale! I love it!

>4. Joe E Legend vs. Kingman (** 3/4)

At least in North Sydney anyway!

>An eight-man tag would also be interesting.
Agreed. I wouldn`t object to RAW doing a show with less matches but a super long 8 man to close the show. That would be a change of pace and it would keep some of the angles perserved.

>But I thought the booking was great,
>especially the setup for workers outside of the "Big
>7" (Cruz/Williams/Joe/Sinners).
RAW took its time developing its characters, and now with faith at the guys in the top, they can start pushing angle at the other end of the card. We`ll see less of the top guys and more of a spread out product, which is a good thing.

>I suspect that Joe E is going to take centre stage

Very easy. An easy angle to run would be both of them coming out and challenging Hughes, but Hughes plays the cowardly heel, and forces the two of them to face off in a #1 contenders match.
