The NA Title Ladder match was pretty good
The NXT 3 team tag match on the same show was amazing to watch. The ending I did NOT see coming. |

Gargano, and Andrade have had incredible years already. Don't forget Andre's performance in the first Royal Rumble this year.
For me the five star matches of the year so far are - Gargano/Almas - Takeover Philly Gargano/Ciampa - Takeover New Orleans NXT North American Ladder Match - Takeover New Orleans And then just below that I'd rate the following four and a half to 3/4's stars. Omega/Ibushi vs Young Bucks - NJPW Long Beach Black/Andrade - NXT Takeover New Orleans Jericho/Omega - WrestelKingdom In the four star range I'd say... Okada/Naito - WrestleKingdom Auska/Charlotte - WM 34 Rollins/Balor - Raw before Mania Rousey & Angle/HHH & Stephanie - WM 34 |

Is that language really necessary? Especially with that hate-filled tone? Lest we forget, the reputation message that you sent me in the private area. This is starting to make me feel genuinely uncomfortable.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you are not being serious with your post. If that actually happened however, then I think you need to report that to both the moderators on here, and even the local authorities in your hometown.
