I just don't like the reliance on false finishes that these "minor" leagues do.
I do think this was a great start. JR and Shiavoni were great.
You know, I started to make a troll comment about when Lucha Bros came out with suits on that it "took me out of the show"... but I'd be afraid someone would take me seriously. Excalibur's mask does not bother me one bit. The only time someone in a mask bothered me on commentary was Ring of Honor when Steve Corino had started wearing one on for seemingly no reason other than people were supposed to believe that it wasn't Steve Corino. If it were explained, I missed that episode. It seemed like a joke that someone forgot the punchline to or some angle that never played out. Like they were trying to do the Mr. America angle but lost interest in the backswing. Had nothing to do with his ability as a commentator, though, or the couple of minutes of airtime they showed him each week.

I do agree with 8 billion huge spots not being the end of matches, but that's something endemic in wrestling as a whole anymore. I don't like it here, but I also don't like it in WWE, nor NJPW, nor ROH, nor LOLTNA... just everywhere. Especially when you have something like a triple flip canadian destroyer from the top rope to the outside through a flaming table leading to a kickout at two, then that leads to a Three-Handled Moss Covered Gamily Gradunzel, countered into a double-team Doomsday Device... but then the match ends when one guy lands a knee strike because it has a cool name.

*THAT* takes me out of a show more than some guy talking off camera but you know he's wearing a mask...
