2018: It's over, thank God Part-2

Okay let's focus on the positive of wrestling this year.

First let's start with All In. A major success, with a few hick ups, but nothing that took away from the experience. I would like to say that it put indie wrestling back on the map. I think that it did, but it's lost a little steam in the later part of the year. But I have no doubt that'll it will pick back up in early 2019.

Bound for Glory. I didn't see, but it seems that Impact put on another entertaining PPV, with a little controversy to go with that.

WWE: Evolution. I was very worried about how this show was going to go. The card didn't look good a month before the event and it was marketed at first to showcase 50 superstars. But I think we got 32...? But as the show went on it got really good and was a really strong PPV. Like every PPV it could have been dull, boring, or a botchfest. Yes it had it's bad moments but overall it was really good and I wonder if they are going to do it again.

The return of Daniel Bryan:  I wasn't sure if this was good or bad. Cause other than defeating Big Cass. Did DB do anything great apart from coming back from injury? Yes he's champion now, and is heel..? WTF? Didn't see that coming at all. Like Askua, a roller coaster. Started really high, went low, and high again (enter drug joke here).

NXT: As a whole, NXT has been great. Velveteen Dream, Johnny, Alester Black, Undisputed Era, Ricochett, and of course Tomaso Champa, possibly the most hated man in wrestling. NXT PPV are a real treat and I look forward to more NXT PPV in 2019

Charlotte/Becky Lynch:  The epic fail that was Sasha/Bayley but reversed and WAY better. Becky has become a mega star, damn near Stone Cold level. She needs a better shirt, but that's beside the point. Both women have elevated their game to the next level and I didn't think Charlotte had a next level, like Super Saiyan III and  Becky is in the F'N stratusphere, like Super Saiyan God. DragonBall referernces aside. 2018 has been great for "The Queen" and "The Man" I don't know what more these women CAN do, but there is going to be women's tag teams in 2019, so we will see.
