This is great.

Gargano was fired. How does he still have music?

Sidenote: I know it will never happen, but how awesome would it be for Candice to turn on Johnny

Also, Ciampa looks like he's been hitting the gym pretty hard.

You probably cheered when the Death Star blew up Alderaan you fucking monster.

Gargano freaking ripped

Why do you hate joy and happiness you goddamn demon.

Nice touch by having the ref not wear the usual WWE shirt and already busting out the gloves.

Great touch with the referee not wearing stripes.

This is pretty accurate.

He beat Shawn Michaels (in an ab contest).

Nice touch with Drake being out in a plain black NXT polo instead of a ref's shirt.

*Cornette voice

I'm a HEEL!

This is the main event of the weekend.

This would be a great match to bring back a Piledriver.....

Lock Jaw incredibly relieved that the crowd has the MAMMA MIA call covered.

:lol: "Mamma Mia" chants.

Guess Gargano is not a fan of Percy Watson

:lol: MAMMA MIA

Ciampa getting the full Sasha Banks treatment there.

Ouch

Ciampa's thong

WWE's going to be very busy with the crowd volume switch for tommorrow's Reigns-Lesnar match if tonight is any indication.

So good that like every match involving Gargano never feels like it has any "filler"... Feel "emotionally invested" in the entire match

If Shane's intestines fall out of his asshole before tomorrow night, I'd pay infinity dollars to see Gargano be D-Bry's partner.

:lol: Ciampa

What are they chanting?

LOL

lol @ guy with crutches

Ciampa stealing the crutches from an injured fan makes him even more dastardly evil than he is right now.

SOMEBODY STOP THIS!!!!

He took that mans crutches lmao god I will never stop laughing that is the most heel thing I think I've seen in years lolol

could have done without the plant.

Holy shit.

Even Hiromu is cringing at that bump.

Ouch.

lol you deserve it

:lol: "You deserve it" chants to Ciampa

crowd is top notch for this

I want a piledriver on the floor and blood

They should just cancel Roman/Lesnar and replay this as the WM main event.

Personally hoping that since it's unsanctioned, there's no time limit, so they just keep fighting through NOLA for the next 24 hours and battle into the Mania main event.

Somewhere Toru Yano is smiling.

I'm about 10 minutes behind so I didn't know what this meant at this time. I do now.

trying to murder Ciampa via lawn dart onto exposed metal turnbuckle

I am a wordsmith.

They should stop the match and make Gargano go to a tent for concussion protocol

they're definitely laying it in with those strikes...

No rope break

That was a great way to break out of a submission and smart of Ciampa to remember it would be legal to do.

Ciampa definitely reading the Getting Heat 101 book.

think like this is the first takeover to go 3 hours..

doesnt feel like it though

I think Ciampa lost teeth there

I didn't think anything could come close to that Ladder Match, but they're going for it.....

Gargaon showing some really great fighting spirit and possible desperation on not wanting to be hauled off to the main roster.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

oh my god

choke him out with the knee brace

This shit is unbelievable.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD D

close enough

oh dear god if they do "WERE BEST FRIENDS AGAIN"

and then Ciampa rolls him up lol

small package swerve to end it?

ciampas eye is fucked

DAMMIT WTF

Was watching on a delay and my set top box just decided to shut off and power cycle. Now I had to switch to streaming the WWE Network, which is of lesser quality, and for whatever reason it keeps jumping a few second ahead then a few seconds back.

GARGANOOOOOOO

Cancel WrestleMania. Everyone can go home. Nothing's topping that.

IT'S OVAH.

Ciampa-Gargano was really great and going to he hard for anything in WWE to top it for Match of the Year status.

:y: Gargano avoids the potential cesspool of main roster booking.

And this means Johnny isn't getting demoted to the main roster just yet! :D

Freaking sweet

I doubt anything at Mania tops the opener and main event tonight.... or even comes close to it.

Minus the Womens match this was an A++++ show

This was pretty great, but Almas vs Gargano was better.

Asuka vs Charlotte will be better than the womens match

I went dark for that match, but holy shit. I'd normally want a more high paced sequence in there, but with the history and the story between the two, the pace was perfect.

Just fucking wow.

This time tomorrow there will probably still be 1.5 hours of WrestleMania left to go.

I have PTSD from previous takeovers.

Fully expected Ciampa's corpse to rise up from the dead behind Gargano and decapitate him when the copyright notice came up.

Maybe bell to bell, but this had everything else to make it better overall for me.

He should still get promoted and then have Ciampa follow him

I don't know why you put a decimal in there.

I feel bad for that poor guy hobbling to NXT Takeover for a good time and then gets robbed for his crutches.

Ciampa knew what he was getting into. He can limp home.

I'd put that as the runner up so far only because it lacked the blood hatred feeling for their feud and match.

That's a fair take. Kind of like "pick the best Okada/Omega match."

For me, Almas vs Gargano had more emotion in it despite having a shorter background story. This one had a lot of grit and a hell of a story, but the allure of Gargano maybe winning the title and having four thousand near falls edges it ahead for me, but calling either one the best is fair. Not really a wrong answer.

not him jackass. The poor fan that Ciampa robbed for crutches.

Did anybody else notice that they didn't show Ciampa's hand tapping out on either view of the finish? They didn't want to give us a clear view of that shit :lol:

Swapping over to Supercard of Honor. Looks like the TV title match, so still gonna get to see Kenny vs Cody live, I assume.

Are you watching via ROH's streaming service thing or some "other" stream (if available)...
