Hideo Itami Attacked NXT Champion Bobby RoodeRoode is such the perfect throwback heel in that he does an exceptional job of solidifying his superiority over his opponents without verbally "burying" them while also shutting down any support he gets from the fans. He may not be the flashiest wrestler in the ring, but he doesn't need to be, which is why he is phenomenal in the role of champion. It's awesome to see Itami back after such a long layoff due to injury, so here's hoping he can stay healthy. He didn't really need to say anything here because the GTS he delivered to Roode said it all. That should be a hell of a main event for TakeOver: Chicago. Andrade "Cien" Almas def. Danny BurchMost fans will recognize Burch from the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament earlier this year, but he was actually signed to NXT a few years ago and served as an enhancement talent. This was a basic squash match for Almas, but I enjoy any chance he gets to showcase his skills because he's a fantastic heel. Here's hoping he finds a solid direction sooner rather than later.

#AskGSM Edition #177: Sami Zayn on SmackDown Live, Bayley vs. Sasha Banks, Mike Bennett-WWE, More4/19/2017 #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
The following was sent in by Elkmania promoter Atlee Greene:
BEVERLY, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 29, 2017 – Saturday, April 29, ElkMania Promotions presents CHAMPIONS CARNIVAL, which promises to be a fun-filled evening of championship matches along with a ballyhoo of sideshow attractions. Beverly/Salem Elks Lodge, 39 Bow Street, Beverly, MA. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Bell time is at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $10.00 in advance and are on sale at Silver Moon Comics & Collectibles located inside of the East India Square Mall, Salem, MA. Tickets will be available at the door for $12.00. Creative Salem members will get two dollars off their admission at the door with proof of membership. Chris Sabin def. Caprice ColemanLio Rush's rivalry with The Rebellion has been fun to watch progress, but it's almost hard to care at this point knowing Rush has already left the organization. Nevertheless, this was a well-wrestled match that served as an entertaining opener to the show. Also, is Rhett Titus officially out of The Rebellion? He wasn't shown with Coleman and Kenny King here and I recently read on Twitter he would be returning as The Romantic Touch soon, which might be an indicator he's been booted from the stable. Roppongi Vice def. Cheeseburger and Will FerraraBoth of these teams have a bigger presence on the Japanese wrestling scene than they do in Ring of Honor, but I'll never complain about getting a fun match. Despite a real lack of purpose, the in-ring action was entertaining and the babyfaces looked good in defeat. Roppongi Vice shine in all of their matches and I'd love to see them receive a more prominent push in ROH. As for Ferrara, he teased tension with Cheeseburger afterward, so it's possible he turns heel before long.
