NXT TakeOver Wargames

[GBK16]

Anyone in for this? Incredible card happening and obviously the return of the War Games match

Kassius Ohno vs Lars Sullivan

Aleister Black vs Velveteen Dream

Kairi Sane vs Ember Moon vs Nikki Cross vs Peyton Royce (Women's Championship)

Drew McIntyre (C) vs Andrade "Cien" Almas (NXT Championship)

Undisputed Era vs Sanity vs Authors of Pain w/ Roderick Strong (Wargames Match)

 

[GBK16]

If I see any match better than Black vs Dream this weekend, I'll be happy. Incredible and honestly one of the best pieces of writing WWE have done in a number of years. Simple and effective booking with an easy to see motivations for the feud. Ending was perfect as well, gives both guys a positive coming from the event without momentum killed.

Oh, Jesus Christ. I forgot this was on tonight, I'll be joining shortly.

I'm just gonna chalk it down already and say this event is better than Survivor Series tomorrow night

I only caught the War Games match (which was fucking awesome) but I'm going back to watch some of it over now.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

This was first time I tuned into a Takeover live. It was alright. Thought the title drop was bogus though.

Who's watching Survivor Series? @HEATH VON DOOM @ShakaSway G @GBK16 @Bozy

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Its been solid so far. They really put Asuka over in the womens match

I'm still used to things starting at 8 so I often miss the opening matches.

I turned it on a hour early for the pre show but caught the main card instead.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I really like that they just said they were "going over clean"

Just found a stream. Will it be worth watching? Havne't watched in months.

Hard to say. We've all been pleasantly surprised by the last couple ppv's. If you stick around you'll see AJ Styles v Brock and Kurt Angle and HHH in the Survivor Series match.

AJ vs Brock should be good. Any good B-tier rivalries going?

They've really gone full "Raw vs SmackDown" so the lead up was interesting but not a lot of legit feuds per say.

 

[IschKabibble]

They've mic'd the underside of the ring differently. Sounds kinda funny.

That's a shame. Feels too predictable that way.

One thing I didn't understand as a kid and still don't to this day is why WCW and WWF/E rings sounded so different.

It made the lead up pretty great with various invasions.

Mic technique was probably the biggest culprit. Plus they were built different too. I always preferred WCW's boxing style turnbuckle pads.

Its been pretty good so far. Surprised every match has ended clean.

Oh, they did an angle where Jason Jordan is Kurt Angle's illegitimate kid. This past week he got kicked off the team by HHH.
