I forgot to mention that LUCHA UNDERGROUND IS fakking BACK!
And on the first show, Fenix defended the Gift of the Gods title against King Cuerno (2 of my favorites from the company) in the opening match. So, the standard for the season has already been set.
Highlights!
Or watch the whole episode while it's still online! It will probably get pulled soon, so watch it while you can!

Tonight is WWE Fastlane. And while the first 2 matches of the night have been good ones, Kevin Owens defending his IC title against Dolph Ziggler is definitely a MOTYC. These 2 really know how to work with one another.

I really need to watch more wrestling, if only just to know who most of these guys are. Glad you're digging it.

I'm behind on NXT so I'll have to see what's going on there after I catch up on RAW tonight. Same with last week's Lucha Underground because **** TWC.
There are a few things about to put on here though.
Opening tonight's RAW was a tag match between The New Day and League of Nations. It was a great match, but what I also loved was the beatdown that followed. Really made a statement.
On Saturday WWE held a televised house show on the network (they should do this every week like they used to do at the Garden). There were a few matches on that card that are deserving of being on this list. First was The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) defending the NXT tag team championships against Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady (with Carmella). This is what tag team wrestling is all about. A hodge podge team like Enzo and Big Cas reminiscent of the Hart Foundation (only Enzo is no Excellence of Execution) and the Revival are a throwback to the 4 Horsemen/Brainbusters era Arn and Tully. Hell, they even look like they could be their kids! It's what I loved about tag wrestling since I was a damn kid!
Triple H, current WWE WHC (WHU?!) put on a hell of a match with Dean Ambrose. Right now, until I see the NXT matches I missed, as well as LU, this is the current front runner for match of the year. Yeah, it's early in the year, and we still have Bayley vs Asuka around WM weekend, this was a hell of a match and reminds that, yes, Trips might have gotten over mostly because he married into the bosses family, but he can really go when he needs to. And here he went. I honestly believe Hunter went on this run not to just put over Reigns at WM, but to have matches like this against talent like Ambrose. I bet if they weren't injured he'd even wrestle Cesaro and Rollins in main event matches too because he could end his career putting out his best work.
Honorable mention goes to the opening tag match with the New Day and League of Nation again and Charlotte defending the Divas title against Nattie Neidhart in great matches.

Catching up on NXT from 3/9/16, episode 324. I'm not even done with the match and this might be the best match I've seen in a long time. 2/3 Falls Samoa Joe vs Sami Zayn number 1 contender's match. That's right, this was just to see who would face the guy for the title! This match goes the whole damn episode! I'm loving this so much right now. 2016 might have started off with ish storylines but the match have been amazing.

Episode 7 of Lucha Underground brought us Prince Puma and Pentagon Jr. challenging Mil Muertes for the LU Championship. It was a phenomenal match.
Honorable mention goes to Marty "The Moth" Martinez vs The Mack and Cage killing Taya in the ring. From Smackdown this week Keven Owens vs AJ Styles was great, too. Gonna be a lot of KO matches on the list this year.

Finally catching up with NXT Takeover Dallas.
The show started with a candidate in The Revival of Dash and Dawson defending the NXT Tag Team Championship against Jordan and Gable of American Alpha. Even with a few flubs this was an amazing match.

Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor close out the evening. Even with all the referee bullshit, this is the best Samoa Joe you can get. I missed this Joe so much.
Joe was hitting Balor like Balor owed him money. And not 20 bucks.
Also, like the finish. Brought be back to WM8.

Owens vs Cesaro number 1 contender's match for the IC Title on RAW tonight deserves a mention.
