[DefCONNOne]

Happy for Breezango finally winning a title.

I think it is both of their first titles.

It's a first for Fandango. Tyler Breeze, on the other hand, won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship with Leakee. You know Leakee today as Roman Reigns.

 

[The Q]

Maybe.

But if your looking big match wise, you know hype, build up and payoff, it makes sense for Balor.

I agree on the "transitional champion" bit but have Balor win once, hold it for the rest of 8 months and drop it to kross in LA

I get this. And I think it could work. Really well.

I think I would just prefer the build up to Balor as the challenger and we finally see demon Balor at takeover LA.

 

[The Q]

I always thought he was rather overrated.

but this is still news

I like him.

There's a rumor (from PWInsider I believe, pretty good track record) about the finish for tonight's 4 way. And if its true, ooof.

Spoiler

The match ends in a tie. The top two finishers have a match next week to crown the champion. I don't really like the idea of a 60 minute Iron Man match not having a legit finish. That's a little too smozzy for my tastes

 

[wildturkey]

Spoiler was true.

I don't like that finish, especially since I've gotten use to other companies just using sudden death immediately after the original time expires for situations where there's a tie. They could have booked this better.

I didn’t like the ref had to rush the count as well. The clock was at 3 before the count even started.

Yeah. For whatever reason, Finn wouldn't roll over. They lost a couple of seconds there

It just makes it look bad when you rush the last count NWO referee style (especially when you had a clean count 10 seconds earlier lol).

Happy for Balor. He definitely deserves it.

about 6 months too late, but better than never.

kind of sad it took a pandemic and an injury to the champ to put the belt on Balor

NXT characters are so much better for story building than the main roster...mainly because it revolves around wrestling and not calling someone out for being an alcoholic or bringing a wrestlers family into it.

all the stories are driven by competition and trash talk.

Eh, you need things to get personal and have an air of realism.

 

[The Q]

Don’t love ripely feuding with Martinez or Gonzalez because both need the wins far more than ripely and yet won’t get them.

do you though?

NXT is still kind of the developmental stage, so they are all fighting to get to the next level or to prove their worth.

I like that better than the terrible storylines WWE comes up with in RAW or Smackdown.

If wwe would it’s admit that, it would be fine. But they don’t.

but it gets repetitive. So I don’t mind some variety in the storylines.

some, yes...but WWE goes for some really stupid storylines sometimes.

I’m surprised Jeff Hardy was down for that.

but it got him all the sympathy and support to make him IC champ.

no idea why wwe is making him the new dlo brown though
