It sounds good on paper. I'm glad we're getting Keith Lee and Dijakovic.

Volare 11-23-2019 06:20 AM

Tegan and Io.

DaveWadding 11-23-2019 03:49 PM

I'm excited for Io's moonsault from the top.

#1-norm-fan 11-23-2019 05:45 PM

What time? I may stream as I’ve been desperate for a good old fashioned rasslin’ show lately and I’m free tonight.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 05:54 PM

6:30PM EST for the pre-show and 7PM for the main card

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 06:40 PM

Unless its a swerve, seems Mia Yim got written out of the Women's WarGames match because of the lingering effects of her injuries from the ladder match last week on NXT.

If so, that just makes the decision to hold a ladder match that close to the event even more idiotic from NXT Creative.

XL 11-23-2019 06:41 PM

Can’t wait for Punk to be the 4th man!

XL 11-23-2019 06:43 PM

(Also, they should have put the Garza vs. Rush Cruiserweight Championship Match on this card as there are no championships on the line)

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 06:46 PM

Swerve vs Garza was decent overall. Could have been better if they had a few more minutes to work with.

Supreme Olajuwon 11-23-2019 06:47 PM

Will watch this for Riddle and Balor and Keith Lee and Io and Io and Io

Supreme Olajuwon 11-23-2019 06:48 PM

Io

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 06:57 PM

First time watching a full pre-show in a long while and Sam Roberts already tops my list as the most annoying person to listen to in WWE.

Triple A 11-23-2019 06:59 PM

Good morning, every1

Triple A 11-23-2019 07:08 PM

Mauro seems annoying tonight, "going hard" with all of the rap and pop culture references and phrases...

GD 11-23-2019 07:09 PM

Dakota Kai replacing Mia Yim.

Triple A 11-23-2019 07:10 PM

Love Bianca Belair........

GD 11-23-2019 07:12 PM

Surprised that they're kicking off the show with this match.

Yeah, it should have been tonight's main event considering it arguably had the most interesting and best build out of all the matches for WarGames.

Triple A 11-23-2019 07:15 PM

Makes sense to open the show with one WarGames match and close with another

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:18 PM

:lol: at the crowd doing the Rumble buzzer sound for the count-down.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:23 PM

Did classic WarGame matches used to have weapons involved or just something NXT decided to have for all of their own WarGames style matches?

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:23 PM

Too soon for weapons.

No. The cage was weapon enough for them. Bloated gimmick match this is.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:25 PM

Holy shit.,

GD 11-23-2019 07:26 PM

Dakota Kai turning :lol:

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:26 PM

Ouch at Bianca going face first onto the chairs from that 450 splash.

Triple A 11-23-2019 07:26 PM

Sweet @ heel turn

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:27 PM

:D at Dakota turning heel.

They teased it very well these past few weeks.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:27 PM

Called it. Dakota Turncoat.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:30 PM

Kind of dumb to kick out Dakota from the match. Then again match itself quickly turned into a bit of a mess after the heel turn.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:35 PM

What she going to do after that tap out to Shayna on purpose? Disqualification out of the match is the only fair thing to do. Maybe a second alternate. She should have turned heel by quitting the match through the top of the cage to give them all a Big Kiwi fuck you.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:38 PM

Best Moonsault Ever. Daniels eat your heart out.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:39 PM

:eek: at the Avalanche Poison Rana and Io's moonsault from the cage.

GD 11-23-2019 07:40 PM

Wow! Ripley goes over Shayna Baszler.

Triple A 11-23-2019 07:41 PM

Sick as h*ll match

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 07:42 PM

:lol: at Baszler losing via being a moron.

Women's WarGames match was very good despite being way too overbooked as well.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:42 PM

Pump Handle slam sucks.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 07:45 PM

This one is gonna be goooood!

Same. Not counting the pre-show match, this was the match I had the least interest for out of tonight's card.

NXT pulled a main roster creative with how they rushed this feud and lazily giving it title contender's status.

NXT title match on PPV on the line. It's literally the only match tonight with actually something tangible on the line.

It does have something meaningful on the line but feel they could have done a better job so the stip didn't come off as something added in the last minute.

Also considering how abruptly the NXT title was added to tomorrow's show, everything about this also feels like its being done just for the sake of it.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 08:03 PM

You shouldn't do the same move done in another match. Points off for Dunne doing that moonsault. They need to coordinate better with matches.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 08:10 PM

What an innovative finish. YAY!

GD 11-23-2019 08:10 PM

Exceeded my expectations. Decent matchup.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:11 PM

Ending sucked but the Triple Threat was pretty good overall.

Back to back matches where the heel cost themselves a potential win via being dumb.

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 08:13 PM

NXT TAKEOVER OREGON!

Odds of Mauro saying WHO WILL BLAZE THE TRAIL? OR WHO WILL DIE OF DYSENTERY!

Triple A 11-23-2019 08:14 PM

That match went on for too long... lost the crowd in the last 5 minutes

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 08:15 PM

BRO VS. BALOR.

BROLOR EXPLODES TONIGHT

Triple A 11-23-2019 08:15 PM

sucks that Gargano got injured and now Riddle will probably have to job

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-23-2019 08:15 PM

King Vs. Prince.

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe this was the feud they were going to have after Gargano jobbed to Balor.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:20 PM

Those Masters of the WWE Universe action figures look pretty cool.

Supreme Olajuwon 11-23-2019 08:20 PM

Balor looks like he lost weight.

Who is Skeletor?

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:28 PM

Not a good sign for this match if its already getting the "CM Punk" chant treatment although also doesn't help the pacing has been a bit too slow soo far.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:35 PM

Riddle vs Balor was pretty good overall. Started off slow but got really great towards the end.

Triple A 11-23-2019 08:36 PM

whatever.........

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:41 PM

Hell in a Cell cage lowering theme > WarGames cage lowering theme

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:45 PM

Too bad they didn't bother to put all the titles on the line as a stip for this match since Ciampa's team breaks down nicely for who would get each belt if they won.

Ciampa would get the NXT title, mystery guy gets NA title, and Lee & Dijakovic get the tag belts since they became good buddies after their feud.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 08:48 PM

Never knew Ciampa was a long lost brother of the War Raiders or long lost cousin of the Dark Order's Stu Grayson considering his face paint look.

GD 11-23-2019 08:56 PM

No fourth member for Team Ciampa?

Triple A 11-23-2019 08:59 PM

Feel like 2 WarGames matches is too many...

Triple A 11-23-2019 09:03 PM

Keith Lee <3

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:05 PM

Bet UE regrets taunting Keith Lee considering he just moped the floor with all three guys in the ring.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:08 PM

One day NXT is going to swerve the crowd and have a WarGames match without weapons being involved.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:10 PM

:lol: at Cole flying through the table.

Guess that is NXT's way of giving Cole some extra rest considering his big title match tomorrow.

Nevermind he got back into the cage.

GD 11-23-2019 09:11 PM

Fuck yeah! Kevin motherloving Owens!

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:12 PM

:eek: Kevin Owens being the mystery guy.

Why would a main roster guy help out NXT considering the on-going war between the brands?

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:18 PM

O'Reilly came awfully close to nailing Lee in the nuts with that knee drop from the top rope.

GD 11-23-2019 09:27 PM

Jesus Christ, what an ending.

GD 11-23-2019 09:27 PM

Mauro acknowledging Britt Baker.

Mauro explained that he was getting back at the Undisputed ERA for what they did to him on Monday Night RAW.

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:31 PM

Holy shit at that ending. Men's WarGames match was very good overall and arguably the Match of the Night.

Show itself was also very good overall but would rank it more towards the upper mid for TakeOvers. Feel last year or early this year was the peak of TakeOvers busting out constantly great to all-time great shows.

Triple A 11-23-2019 09:38 PM

Women's WarGames match was my favorite... Really great.

Middle two matches were "alright"

Emperor Smeat 11-23-2019 09:53 PM

Would explain why the Women's WarGames match was a lot shorter than usual for these matches in NXT.

Before tonight, the shortest WarGames match was the first one in 2017 at around 36 minutes according to Wikipedia.

xrodmuc316 11-23-2019 11:08 PM

NXT is simply magic. Vince McMahon doesn't deserve this brand belonging to his trash of a company.

slik 11-24-2019 12:23 AM

Mauro acts like everything is the biggest thing of all time constantly so nothing has any effect at all....it's no different than a match with 500 flips and kicks just in verbal form.

Beth sounds like a soccer mom screeching from the bleachers and Nigel is so high-pitched

GD 11-24-2019 12:37 AM

I’d argue that they’re the best commentary combination in the WWE. Mauro, even with his forced pop culture references, he comes across as very passionate and likable.

slik 11-24-2019 12:38 AM

Smart this is very wrestling based since Balor never gets to wrestle this style often

slik 11-24-2019 12:47 AM

Glad Balor picked up a needed clean win at @ Takeover
