Should I make a Supercard of Honor thread or is it just like two of us watching it for Cody vs Kenny?

They should just have WM on Saturday and have NxT "main event" the weekend at this point.

Just tuned on to the show and saw some really fat guy slowly pop out from underneath the ring. Might be the same fat guy from the recent NJPW-ROH shows in Japan.

Managed to get it working smooth and finished the match..... was great.....
Remember how I said I never liked it when they do unsanctioned matches? I change my mind..... this match really played it up. From the ref wearing different shirt, to all the none rope breaks and continual strikes/stomps in the corner or other places where the ref would normally break it up..... Was very good. Gotta say they really sold me on the fact that these two guys hated each other. I don't remember a "grudge match" where I felt that the beef was genuine..... Then Johnny flashing back to the "good times" at the end and hesitating..... great ending..... |

Yeah, LJ--NXT does such a great fucking job of making everything make sense and look legitimate. Like I said earlier about their backstage segments, there's never some magical camera backstage while some dudes JUST SO HAPPEN to be brawling.

Gonna give a compliment to Mauro Ranallo too:
When he isn't trying to put himself over or try to be cool, he is really good at putting over the story and the wrestlers. |

They are not producing anything better this weekend. No heel turn, no championship changing hands will be better than the last three hours I spent watching this ppv

Caught up on the first half of the show I missed earlier and pretty cool way to start off the show with a concert spliced with NXT footage showcasing the stuff for tonight.
Dream's gear for the N.A. Ladder match looked great. at the Lars & Donkey Kong references during the match. Legit thought for a second Dream was going to jump from the ladder to grab the belt but instead gave an amazing elbow drop to Lars. at EC3 getting squashed twice with the ladder by Killian. at Lars & Killian ragdolling Ricochet. OMG at the ladder breaking spots on the outside. Holy shit at the bump Ricochet took at the end of the match. Ladder match was really fantastic and brutal. First thought on the Women's match was the live vocals for Moon's theme were bad and feeling bad for them having to follow the Ladder match. Overall it was a way better match than the one they had in Philly. Shame Moon's reign as Women's champ was a big bust and arguably the worst since NXT started because of how poorly it was handled. Saw everything from the Dusty Tourney finals match I missed earlier and Strong's heel turn was still the best moment of the match. |

first nxt show I watched in its entirety.
It gets an 'A' namely because the crowd left very entertained and Gargano and Ciampa delivered ten-fold. Also loved the way the women's match was worked- the fact that Einstein Droford is hating on it so much reaffirms my liking of it. My biggest gripe is the multi-person matches. Not the effort or performances because all involed worked hard and the crowd loved it. But as a personal thing it's super fucking hokey. I like tag matches and I like single matches. Once you get to 3-ways it's just dumb and everything seems extra fake. Yes, I know the ladder match is being praised for being EXTREEEEEEEEME and it was, but I feel like half the match was people blatantly trying to get into position. There was a spot with Dane and Sullvian where I think it was Sullivan slamming Dane off the ladder (coulda been vice versa) where there was no struggle. It was literally "HEY DUDE SLAM ME PLZ"-- one of many spots just like that. I know wrestling is fake but it's at its best when it feels like an actual fight. In saying that, I love Ricochet. |

I didn't really like the women's match at the time and I still think it has issues now (Ember's character is awful and for an MMA fighter, Shaynas submissions do not look good, both things that can be worked on) but I think a lot of it was the position on the card. Think it would have landed a lot better if it opened the show rather than following the spot fest. The tag match had enough energy and bodies in to sufficiently follow it.

Unlike previous years I'm actually pretty excited for a lot of matches on the WM card. Otherwise, after seeing this show, I'd say I was only going to watch for the one night return of pyro.

Feel like this is one of the few "big" nxt ppvs where they didn't show a new signee or some kinda surprise guest sitting at ringside. I know they showed Ronda and that other mma chick, but that doesn't count.

The pyro in the stage presentation was an entire years worth of budget.
I'm looking forward to WM, just think the card is unbalanced. Don't care about their most promoted match ups, but the rest looks solid. Can't wait to see Ali get the belt. |

I love the chants, but we're British. We chant You Fucked Up when a barman smashes a glass.

I liked "fuck you ciampa" but since there's so many other chants it loses all meaning. Kind of like high spots. Once someone goes through a flaming barbed wire table - kicks out at two - then gets thrown through a plate glass window - kicks out at one - then loses via small package it's kind of dumb.
Once you hear "THIS IS AWESOME" "JOHNNY WRESTLING" "HOLY SHIT" 850 times, "fuck you ciampa" just sounds like just another time the crowd is trying to get themselves over. When really, considering the fact Ciampa is over in the "smark" community, it's really something that he's getting actual heat. |
