The Men's WarGames would have made a great Survivor Series match.

The Women's WarGames would have made three good to average matches. Split up without a cage on a Tuesday.

Just got home. Roddy vs Gacy about to start. Heel vs Heel? Ok then. This Gacy gimmick is brutal.
Also I was looking at stats for the men’s War Games. Tony D’Angelo has had 3 pro matches. 10 minutes of ring time. Sure, throw him in fucking War Games!
Takeover this is not.

Ok match. Glad Roddy won. Crowd didn’t make much noise since both are heels. Hope Roddy can move on to an actual babyface.
Gacy, I have no fucking clue, this gimmick is death.
Men’s War Games up next.

I know people think Gargano posting all this “one last ride” thing means he’s trying to swerve us and is staying.
But what is left in NXT? And main roster he’ll be lost quicker than Ricochet and be Johnny Main Event in 3 weeks.

I mean, it certainly makes sense to have the rookies win this. They get more out of this.
I hope Kyle & Johnny finish up soon and get out of here.

How do you start this brutal War Games match?
Trading wrist and hammerlocks

Actually kind of smart to have D’Angelo’s 3 minute period just him getting weapons passed to him by that dude whose name I don’t remember.
And a Lumis appearance and thumbs up to Papa John

So here comes Bron Breakker to make a fiery babyface comeback.
Bron vs unlocking a chain is a dark horse candidate for NXT 2.0 feud of the year.

Dug the DIY mini reunion. Nice full circle moment with the crutch.

We’re to the portion of the NXT War Games where it’s become pretty slow as shit and boring to reach to the finish.
That’s always the case, don’t matter who is in the match.

Ending was clunky and went way too long, but the right team won and Bron had to get the pin over Ciampa.
He’ll be NXT Champion by Mania. Hell he might be on the main roster by Mania.
I see nothing in D’Angelo.
Carmelo Hayes is fine, I think over time he could grow on me.
Grayson Waller just seems like another arrogant dude.

Every time I watch NXT I have to tell myself, it’s not the NXT I grew to love. It’s Vince’s NXT.
It’s become just a show.

So I’m watching the women’s War Games and it’s the most back asswards booking. The heels were in peril the whole time. This was TNA Lockdown booking. The dumb crowd is behind the heels, heckling Cora for almost falling on her ass off her skateboard.
Poor Cora almost killed herself doing that dive off the cage through the table. But that Chiropractor Io spot pulling her arm into place was hysterical.
This match was pretty fucking terrible. Say what you want about AEW’s crowds, the NXT arena folks are next level atrocious.

Cora got the pin and it was played off as luck. I’m happy Cora got the pin, but how it happened was silly. They also called her “wise beyond her years” for what? To make a cover in a match?
The really only thing I liked was Kay Lee Ray (a usual heel) almost playing off like she was going to turn on Cora, but then whacked Dakota instead.

Time for the vignette portion of the show…
These Tiffany Stratton vignettes are pretty creepy. She keeps talking about Daddy and we’ve literally only seen her boobs & ass this whole time.
Brooks Jensen & Josh Briggs like grilling and drinking beers, playing corn hole & horseshoes. Yeah, JENSEN IS 20 YEARS OLD!
Boa said Mei Ying (which gimmick was dropped) transferred her power to him. So Boa is a 1,000 year old woman now?
MSK meet their Shaman on NXT tonight. I assume it’s RVD seeing as MSK are a bunch of stoners, but they said the Shaman is a tag team specialist. So it might not be.

Hot damn, Imperium vs Kyle & Wagner actually ruled.
That was Fabian Aichner’s best showing ever. And one strong showing from Imperium as a team. Kyle taking most of the match was smart too.
My favorite match of the show.
Alright, all caught up.

The stoner shaman is Matt Riddle.
The answer was right there the whole time, but I legit never thought they’d have Riddle do anything with NXT since he’s main roster.
Surprisingly not a bad payoff
