We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Not a bad match on the card, great show. I do think that cage matches should be reserved for Takeovers like Brooklyn, where they can use the big show's cage though, and not that thing.

They either bring it all along with them, or have their own sources. Like if you'd try to order a hurricane fence locally, they usually wouldn't even have the poo poo in stock, or on short notice:) The always bring that stuff along with 'em, last event I worked had 12 trucks! 6-8 semis is the norm, mostly. They don't take any risks anymore :)

E: I sure wish Finn woulda won, but he might be getting called up too, so who knows

I figured as much, I just always kind of wonder how WWE gets all their strange stuff, like a giant cage that has a top strong enough to handle a 350 lb klutz with a dislocated shoulder and a concussion taking bumps on it.

Christ, what an asshole.
Great matches from top to bottom. Crowd seemed more invested in the first three than the last two, and the camerawork wasn't always getting the best shots, but this was an excellent show.

I thought that match was actually pretty underwhelming.


Glad you guys enjoyed it though.

Okay so I only really was able to watch the asuka and nakamura matches. Two things:

1) I'm pretty sure nakamura kicked out AFTER a 3 count following one of aries's rope dives. Like he very clearly kicked out after three.

2) either Nia Jax has been coached in really selling the gently caress out of concussion eyes, or asuka knocked her stupid with that last shot. That was so goddamn brutal.

Oh and yeah the main event was really good, horrible camera work notwithstanding. Joe is a goddamn muscle busting war god
Well Asuka is pretty well known for stiffing people

i felt bad for tito at the NXT Seattle show because no one gave a poo poo about him against the local competitor, and were somewhat hostile towards him which seemed undeserved (though i have no idea who he is either)

Well, yeah, but that was... I don't know. Seems like the match was supposed to go on longer than it did, but after the scream, asuka just flattened her out and the doctor was there ten seconds later. I've always thought people were sort of overreacting to asuka potatoing people, but... poo poo.

I was at the house show where he botched against Apollo Crews and nobody really knew or cared who he was

Granted, Crews had been in NXT for only a couple months at that point so they weren't gonna cheer anyone against him

Their road crew has indeed been doing it for years and years! Also especially when there's pyro involved. They accept no substitutes, even the slightest piece of wrong hardware could gash someone, rip their finger off, or God forbid kill them. Heck if they order the wrong kind of hurricane fence, they've been known to send it back and pay the restocking fee! Just cannot risk any accidents anymore, or even someone getting shredded.

I've always been Local crew, not on the road :) WWE crew has been some of the most professional and talented ones that I've ever worked with.

The last fire up before succumbing to strikes isn't an uncommon Japanese finish so I think that was the planned end. But yeah, Nia might be concussed right now.
