Watched this today with my 7 year old. She really enjoyed it for the most part except she thought Bro guy was annoying (she is a chip off the old block). That War Raider match was fantastic! Big dood doing cartwheels and flips?!?! Hell yea! Great opener. Riddle and Dream was meh for me. I don't get Riddle at all and don't really think he is that great of a worker, just very bland in everything. Dunne vs Walter was amazing. Such a different type of match and just great psychology and storytelling. I hope we get to see more Walter and I can see them bringing Dunne over here full time. Womens match was way better than I had anticipated and Io is incredible! That was the first I had ever seen her and she was by far the star of that match with Sane a close second. Shayna is boring and not interesting in the least. My daughter called her a dumb bully. Agreed.
My daughter had no idea who Adam Cole was but immediately picked up on the BAYBAY! and popped. She loved that he kept saying it and is now her favorite wrestler lol. That match and the storytelling was great but I do think it went a little long and had a few to many false finishes. Kicking out of a top rope Canadian Destroyer after 17 superkicks throughout the match? GTFO. Overall really enjoyed the show and it definitely got me pumped to be disappointed by Mania tomorrow!!

Watched last night. Without having read the rest of the thread, I just want to say this first:
Randomone, I owe you a big apology. I was completely wrong about Matt Riddle. He is the GOODS. Great match, and I'm impressed by how he came out of the match looking even stronger in losing. Velveteen was awesome as usual and I wouldn't mind seeing this feud continue. Hell, let em have a best of 5 or best of 7 series.
The show from top to bottom was great. Even the least exciting match (Dunne/Walter) featured two guys trying to beat the shit out of each other. NXT puts on the best pay per views in the wrestling business, period.
That double-stack Death Valley Driver by Bianca was impressive as hell. She's getting better. The four-way dynamic helped to mask some of her weaknesses.
Kairi and Io kinda came across as heels to me with the way they double teamed everybody. I definitely found myself rooting for anybody but them. It might be time to consider calling Shayna up. I'm not sure what more she can do in NXT at this point. She may have hit her ceiling.
Great opening tag match. Let me say it loud: THIS IS HOW YOU BOOK TAG TEAM WRESTLING. You don't put these guys in throwaway 3 minute matches that end in a rollup. You feature them prominently and give them 15 minutes to beat the piss out of each other, thus making both teams look strong.
Regarding the main event: I don't want to overreact, but I'm fairly confident in saying that WWE will not put on a better match in 2019. Let's just call it now. Match of the year for 2019 is Gargano/Cole. Simply fantastic.
When Gargano/Cole was about to start, my wife was like, "Wait, we're at the last match already?" This highlights a big problem with main roster shows: They are too long. When a show ends, you should want more. You shouldn't reach the end of a pay per view thinking, "Fuck, I thought that shit would never end!" This is how WrestleMania will feel and I'm not looking forward to it.

I think they missed the peak by about 3 minutes. I think Gargano should have won after he knocked out all the heels outside the ring, but they went about another 5 minutes and had like 3 or 4 more false finishes. |
