Two things I've heard: Obviously no blood. I heard there wasn't a roof on the cage for the record - they will get lowered into cage via a crane/linch in your shark cage. When the wrestlers involved first heard about it they were PISSED and huddled together and tried to figure out how they could make it work. Expect weapons to be snuck into the cage.

Yeah, that sounds mostly in line with regular War Games. I went back and watched some old War Games matches last week and doing the single person entry every two minutes just kinda makes it drag. And with only three people on each team, I think this makes better sense. My biggest gripe is no roof on the cage, but hopefully they switch on that stance and add one. That's kinda the whole point of containing the fight.

rovert posted:King Of The Mountain fan? This is definitely not a reverse ladder match with a penalty box so I have no idea what you're on about. The rules seem fine to me, honestly. I don't have any history with the format, so this looks like a flashier version of the match, which I expected of WWE.

I will only accept the crane if it has a giant crane game claw on it and it pulls the fighters out of a large pen

It sounds like a dumb, convoluted spectacle, which is a very welcome thing in wrestling once in a while. I'm sure it will be a mess, but I can't wait. And I am way into the pairing of Strong and AoP for some weird reason, way more than either of them individually.

when i was a baby child i enjoyed the teams being lopsided, then even, then lopsided again, and will miss it dearly. in fact this new concept should be called either snore games, bore games, or poo poo games. this company!

As much as I would want a roof on the cage, the spectacle of seeing them lower a shark cage into the ring to release the other team sounds pretty great. There is also the potential of someone riding the top of the shark cage and jumping off it. No roof is only an issue if people actively try to leave the cage, but why would they leave their partners behind in a 2 vs 6 scenario? I am also indifferent on them not having to say they quit verbally just for old time sake, but I assume they have a better ending worked out that they want it to be pinfall or submission.

They're giving the extremely good and exciting to watch, but slightly undersized wrestling man who uses a submission finisher a losing streak gimmick in NXT? ...This turned out pretty well last time when they sent the guy to the main rost-oh wait he's going to 205 Live isn't he.

You're right. He did beat Tito after he lost to Almas after that Takeover. And even if he hadn't, 3 televised matches isn't a trend. I was overreacting. Thanks, friend  .My dread for Gargano getting stuck in 205 Live purgatory whenever he is eventually called up will not go away, however.

War Games is going to be awesome because AoP has yet to have a bad stipulation match and Sanity is great at just wild swarming brawls. The verbal quitting doesn't work with three teams anyways if they aren't doing elimination. Also this:flashy_mcflash posted:How much of a herb do you have to be to not be excited about Bobby Fish entering the ring from a crane. Like for real.

Thanks, friend No, you were kind of right. His story has been that he's off his game due to Ciampa, and part of that has been his losses.

I bet a spot will be they are lowering a Sanity into the ring and Nikki just jumps on the crane too and enters. It would be a good use of the prop and in character for Sanity

This sounds it has the potential to be a clusterfuck, but also the possibility to be an incredibly entertaining clusterfuck, which I'm all for. Plus, as much as it astonishes me to admit it:Charles Gnarwin posted:AoP has yet to have a bad stipulation match No whammies no whammies no whammies

Disappointed that there's no roof on the cage, but on the bright side Eric Young is contractually obligated to drop an elbow off the top whenever he's booked in a cage match, so we have that to look forward to.

A cage with a roof gave us Sid destroying Brian Pillman. gently caress WWE for not using a cage with a roof. And lowering the people in from above. Why bother calling it War Games?
