Skull Island’s Kong Will Be Biggest Ever

Wrestling Wrap Up: Ambrose Wins Big at Money in the Bank
Gotta say, I really enjoyed this week's wrestling product. From Lucha Underground's all-episode "Six to Survive" match to NXT to Money in the Bank to RAW, there's was much enjoyment. Very wrestling. So slobberknocker.
A little quick bit about TNA right here at the start though, as I was planning on making this week's Impact Wrestling the first I'd watched in months. It was following a PPV and it was an episode focused all on the champs defending their titles and that seemed like a good place to pick things up, eyeball-wise. I never got around to watching what I DVR'd though because, apparently, there were major glitches with POP! and they just wound up running the same That '70s Show commercial for two solid hours on a loop with little flashes of Bobby Lashley in between.
