Yeah pretty sure Cody is talking about the Dusty final. Live that match really sucked the life out of the place. TM61 seem like they're going to have a difficult time ever getting over.

I'd be pretty mad if the tournament named for your dad had a rehash of a silly gimmick that was only used twice in the entire match, once to jump off the thing holding the cage and the second to end up hitting rovert in the face with a chain.

Lost among the discussion of the tag/world title matches is that we got a match with a man suspended above the ring in a shark cage in the year 2016

I'm pretty sure Dusty Rhodes, creator of WAR GAMES: THE MATCH BEYOND was pretty cool with silly gimmicks

MRT is the one who started it 3 years ago so its hardly a new take; a little justified imo because Nakamura does phone it in a lot in non important matches.

this is the only good reason to have this take, because he absolutely does this, for better and worse, but having it after that kickass match is absurd

I had lower bowl seats and 4 dudes in my row from Niagara Falls walked straight out never to come back after the first match once Tye left the state. They spent at least $200 on those seats.

Lmao Ontario fans.

Revival vs DIY did tire out the crowd.

I saw a guy in full Brett Hart cosplay down the the ragged greasy hair strands. Lots of replica belts in the stands that night too.

Fantastic show. My party spent $50+ on four cans of Coors. lol.

Honestly I get more enjoyment watching Nakamura lazily kicking Patrick Clark about than I do from watching Dolph Ziggler go all out on a random episode of Smackdown.

the men's division has been the least interesting part of nxt for about 18 months now they desperately need like a fresh underdog or something. Every champ since Kevin Owens has felt like an inevitable series of cool guys waiting their turn

I agree they should have had Tye go over Roode. I think Nakamura would have done great as a pseudo-heel underestimating him and starting off as lazy house show Nakamura before ramping up as he realised that Tye is actually good.

I missed this live, but holy poo poo was that Revival/DIY match utterly loving amazing.

Didn't expect a Joe win and I guess this ends my dreams of Joe going to the main roster anytime soon, but the main event was still a good match. Just not a scratch on that Tag Team Titles match, holy poo poo.

In case it didn't make it on air, there was a small localized Chris Benoit chant when Joe had the crossface on. He transitioned out of it as soon as it started getting momentum. (most of the others in the vicinity boo'd the chant)

sat in the lower bowl. first live show. it was amazing. Crowd was so fun in my section. Shout out to the guy singing Samoa Joe's music when everyone was doing Nakamura's, and the guy dressed like Dean Ambrose in the bathroom....

Tag match was insane. Felt so real.
Joe/Nakamura was also amazing. Unsure if it sounded muted but everyone around me was super into it. Overall a fantastic time.

Oh and Tye is so loving over. People were chanting 10 from the bathrooms to the bars on Front

Were those violinists even playing anything?

Also surely Joe winning means a Nakamura callup? I figured whoever lost here would be main roster bound regardless.

THAT loving TAG MATCH

Also your opinion on Nakamura sucks bad, rovert.

Dave made it sound like Nakamura wants to be king of NXT for awhile longer. That may have changed, but hey - it's the WWE, so win a title changes hands, that means a rematch is in order.

Well given the cage match in December I was thinking maybe Joe wins, Shinsuke Rumble debut or something.

And I like Joe a lot but I kinda hate his top heel persona. It's very Brock, and everyone knows how I feel about Brock.

There's that cage match in Australia and also the upcoming tour of Japan is/was advertising a Joe/Nakamura title match so I'm not sure we're getting another takeover main event with those two unless they have zero confidence in anybody else

He's Brock, except he cuts his own promos, is full time and wrestles his rear end off. He's all the intimidation and physical domination of Brock with none of the absolutely not giving a poo poo.

I agree with your hate on Brock but that's because Brock doesn't give a poo poo anymore and he's just rehashing the same thing that was cool at first and then got old real fast. Joe clearly gives many shits and does a whole lot more in the ring so I'm ok with his act.
