Would you be my new best friends?

SamuraiFoochs posted:

Someone help me. Why are they doing this with all the rampant speculation of Ciampa's career being on life support?

I am hoping that it's similar to the Kevin Steen/El Generico thing from a few years back, where Steen's knee was supposedly hanging on by a thread and they had one last shot at the tag titles. After they lost, everybody thought Steen was gonna retire, then he just beats the poo poo out of El Generico instead, goes home and posts online,"My knee is feeling much better thanks guys! :haw:"

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Amazing show overall. Opening match was the weakest of the lot, but holy poo poo did they kick it up from there.

That said, fire Hideo Itami for his own sake, just so KENTA can go to NOAH (or even NJPW) and beat the living poo poo out of people there. That was the best chance he's ever gonna get in the WWE, so yeah. Fire Itami.

Not sure I like that turn when the main roster could use DIY as a tag team and not sure it was built up enough but that closing shot of Ciampa on the table was great

Main roster is getting Revival and New Day in the next month. I thought the turn was great, it followed Gargano knocking Ciampa out of the CWC with a crucifix, then letting Ciampa down with the knee injury. They started off stage the exact same way they did after they lost the belts. Great long term story.

It ain't just Takeovers. I don't know about the Florida circuit, but if NXT is on tour within an hour of you, go frickin' see it. It's a drat good show.

I went tonight. Could have gone to both but decided to not piss my wife off too much and pick just one. I made the right decision. Although I will be drat sad to miss Shinsuke's main roster debut match tomorrow. But tonight was so much fun. I'll read the thread and see if I have anything to contribute, but I will say that the UK match was easily one of the top 5 I've ever seen live. And I barely knew anything about the guys fighting in it. Wow. Also seeing Alistair Black in person gave me that mysterious gut feeling that he has .... "it."

That was a great show overall and the only weak matches were the womens one because the two Hot Topic girls are a bit poo poo and the title match because Itami is still boring.
