Sure. An NXT thread. We're doing WarGames again. Why not? I'm sure Triple H is happy.

The War Games matches look solid enough but nothing else interests me here. I guess I'll check out the WG on a stream sometime tomorrow.

im more interested in ciampa vs thatcher than the wargames. All of the nxt wargames matches are the same shit. 40+ minutes of spots, setting up for spots, and INTENSE STAREDOWNS between the teams before they all charge at each other to fight. They don't need to be anywhere near as long as they are or have half the spots they do. Having a shit ton of spots doesn't make a match brutal or intense.

I might watch this because there's literally nothing else to do until NBA starts and we're all trapped inside our houses right now but that would be about the only reason. Maybe I'll finish the couple of DG matches I have left instead.

I’m more interested in the women’s WarGames match, though it seems obvious the face team should win.

The triple threat North American could be fun and is set up so Ruff can get a flukey win but I’m curious where this is going because they’ve invested enough time in him where they need to flip the switch and legitimize him before the value of the title goes down.

Outside of the men's WarGames match, this looks like a fun show. Also, I've been loving the Women's WG promos set to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." That's how you get a guy like me interested.

 

[Brocklock]

I've disliked all of the NXT War Games matches, but the women's one could be awesome unless it's layed out poorly. It has a great mix of personalities and styles. I'll probably watch this just because of boredom and the need to watch something to take my mind off irl things. I haven't watched a NXT Takeover in almost two years I believe.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

not blown away by the women's match but Io doing the Sasuke "bin over the head" dive off the top of the cage was fucking insane.

 

[HSJ]

I’m so over Gargano.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Wow, I made two predictions which ended up being trash. At least they finally revealed Austin Theory as Ghostface, which was the most blantantly obvious choice for a while now.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Pat deserves a lot of credit for everything he did and if he were to become a regular wrestler I think he'd be great. That said I hated the match overall.

Only thing I dug really was the Triple Threat and they ruined that with all the Ghost Face shit and the (ugh) Austin Theory reveal.
