So, I made a one night exit from NWG for my girl, since she really wanted to watch.
Best believe not a fukking penny was paid, though.
After having watched, it's sad to see that even NXT has fallen off.
Enjoyed the tag match and Dream/Riddle. Dream really is going to be be an absolute star. He's mastered the skill of the true greats of getting great matches out of like.......five moves. Not that he probably doesn't have more in the tuck, he just knows how to get the max reaction out of the simplest stuff. Looking forward to the years of threads of brehs getting frustrated with WWE's mishandling of him for what may or may not be vaguely racial reasons.
The rest of them shyts? Nah, not for me.
Dunne/Walter was cool until Dunne "broke" his fingers like eight times, and this giant dikkhead is out here still throwing chops and using both hands like ain't shyt happen. Matches that flip flop on whether they care about kayfabe or not annoy me sometimes. One minute, you're asked to believe that Walter has been rendered near defenseless, but the next, you're supposed to ignore it completely. Also, that powerbomb from the top at the end was nuts. Wasn't expecting him to literally throw him while they were midair. shyt was
status.
Women's match was alright, but that was a classic case of great match that needed to have another winner. Baszler has legit cleared out the division, to the point where I have no clue what else they do with her.
That fukking main event though........ugh.
Two out of three falls for absolutely no fukking reason. The rest of the match probably isn't as absurd if it didn't have to account for two previous falls.
Gargano kicking out of everything short of a howitzer landing directly on top of him was absolutely ridiculous. Especially considering that he just lost a fall earlier in the match to a single finisher.
Breh really kicked out if Cole's finisher a million times, O'Reilly and Fish's finisher like it was nothing. Made all them dudes look like the putty patrol.
But the shrugging off finishers thing is only compelling if both wrestlers do it. Cole tapped quick on his first fall, and didn't get much of a struggle spot at the end.
Overall, just a massive exercise in excess. I completely understand how some would love the match, but I just couldn't get into it.
