Ironic because the nicest thing I can say about NXT is they were smart enough to realize someone with Becky’s talent isn’t belt worthy.

it needs more

Coincidently this is also the nicest thing I’ll ever say about Triple H.

The only good promo tonight was Finn Balor.

Jesus these are mediocre at best.

You knew nxt was going to make a mistake when they made the main event lead off and left us with that for a “main event”

I had no problem with it. It was a face going over a dominant heel champion on a week before Christmas. And it’d make no sense if they held that match next week since it’s more than likely a throwaway show.

Just quit watching. Ripley vs Baszler was great. If you can't get into that, then the show is not for you.

If wwe is going to pull a Star Wars and push a bs “woke” agenda, I’m still holding it to the same standard as a men’s match.

there’s no way Balor/Cole shouldn’t have main evented. It was a far better match minus the final result.

Really man.

You're going their? Wow ok. Let's go there.

I think that it should have been the main event because of the payoff. Just look at the emotion of the crowd in the video I posted. They fucking loved it and mobbed the ring.

Now expect to do other matches after this?


Ps. I loved the referee there. Trying to control a chaotic situation.

the match dragged for the last 10 minutes and the ending unfolded way too slowly. Plus there was 2-3 minutes of dead time with ripley laying outside the ring.

but I will admit I’m not a fan of the finishes after 15 minutes of dominance by one side and then one move ends it.

But it is booking 201 Qster. If you have 2 main event quality matches. You put the one with the payoff at the main event because it ends on the high note.

You see what I was talking about with the ref though. There are times when you just let them go. He should not embarrassed himself and stayed in the back

fair. That’s why I was not happy with them putting the real main event first.

because it meant they were gonna find a way to keep the strap off Balor, aka the best thing in nxt right now.

I get what they did, but it should’ve been Gargano with a chair for the DQ rather Than Cole getting a pin

He's all in (pardon the pun) on the dirt sheet narrative.

Note: Not sure if you know what the dirt sheet narrative is. But the gist is that AEW is where it's at, can do no wrong. At all...ever. While at the same time NXT is complete shit, can't do anything right. At all...ever.

That's not on Rhea Ripley. You can blame Shayna Baszler for that.

I love the ambiguous prince. He’s a fantastic character. The best character they have right now. Bar none.

you’re right. It was literally like 5-7 minutes of the clutch. She should be dead.

They both took way too long for the riptide form the top rope to happen. A counter like that needs to be more sudden. The timing of the match was just off imo.

I don’t think I’ve said either. In fact I just said one part Of nxt that I really like (Balor).

I really do like aew though.

That not necessarily true. Bryan and Dave both said how NXT was better last night, that it even had a Takeover feel to it. They said AEW was fine but they need to work on fixing these PIP breaks where something is going on and the announcers don’t mention of it. I believe that they also said that the top stars are jobbing too much and that the Dark Order angle at the end of the show fell flat.

the dark order angle was aweosme.

mans having 2 title matches with the clear top contenders will do that. Balor was magnificent in the ring last night.
