The new Beer Money?
 
Nakamura's entrance was perfect. I've never seen anything of the guy's NJPW career outside of gifs, but by the time he was halfway down the ramp and the spotlight hit him I already understood what makes him so special.

Then that fucking match, Jesus Christ.

Yeah, if you get the chance to watch some of his New Japan stuff -- even just the Wrestle Kingdom matches -- you'll even see more of what you got tonight. Dude is incredible.

Also, if you just want to relive the entrance, here you go. Loop this all night.
 
Honestly, look at that entrance posted above. He's kinda air drumming awkwardly and people say it's magic. I don't get it.

You keep saying you don't get it. Maybe you just don't get it. You can belabor the point of not getting it but nobody is going to be able to say anything to make you get it.
 
This is the absolute worst comment I've read this week.

Have you watched his matches?

Are you blind?

Did you not watch what happened like 2 hours ago?


and you guys called ME the world's wrongest man?

Vince? Are you Vince?

He's arguably the best wrestler in the entire world.

You're getting worked.
 
Baylee's psychology was kind of all over the place in that match, but the match still delivered. I think they can do better though, and hopefully they get a rubber match for the next card. Good showing from both women. The crowd was trying it's damnedest to get into it, but they were worn down from the previous match.
 
Even though it hurts the match pacing, I think WWE are perfectly justified in halting matches to treat bad cuts like that. It should happen regardless of the rating of the product.

Problem I have is if it's actually for the workers health then they should stop the match.

They could Give a Fuck about the workers health it's about defending against the punk and Vito lawsuits and kissing up to Susan g koman etc.

Either stop the match the second these guys bleed and end the match or let them work.

Its all about image controll and this company is still under the same rules when Linda was running for office.
 
Zayn vs. Nakamura was incredible. Holy shit. Dat theme too.

Asuka vs. Bayley was also a really great match that would have gotten a lot more credit than it's probably getting if it didn't just happen to come immediately after Zayn-Nakamura. Tough spot but they did great in it. No, Bayley isn't on Asuka's level, but she's also really underrated.

Opening tag match was excellent, botch and all. Some of the best heel tag tactics I've seen in a WWE ring in years.

Balor vs. Joe delivered pretty well, too, though it was a bit shorter than I was expecting. Joe looked like a monster, like he's somehow found the wayback machine. I actually liked all the interruptions for the blood. Added tension, made it believable for Balor to recover from some of Joe's offense, and made it seem like a wrecking machine like Joe was just plain angry and annoyed that he kept having to be held back by something as inconsequential to him as a small cut. Added to the "big fight feel" if you ask me. I'm surprised Balor won, though. I guess maybe they're going to do what they did with Kevin Owens and have him graduate as NXT Champion?

Corbin-Aries kinda sucked, especially compared to everything else. I know what Aries can deliver, so I'm going to assume it's Corbin's fault.
 
There wasn't one dusty finish in any of the matches. Everyone who won, won clean and nothing was overturned.
April fools?
Yeah I know. But them abrupt finishes got me butthurt. Would have liked Corbin and Joe matches more. But I understand the booking to continue the stories
 
Sami's face during Nakamura's entrance...

...he was marking out like the rest of us wasnt he? :3
 
Shinsuke's entrance was everything lacking with Demon Balor. It's ominous, and incredibly charismatic.

If I were to show non-wrestling fans what makes wrestling so damn cool, I'd show them Shinsuke's entrance, and feel second hand embarrassment for Finn's entrance.

Seriously, Finn's biggest matches were with Joe and Owens, and he just ended up looking like the lesser star. I will never understand this Demon stuff. His facepaint bothers me so much. I just want to see mega sexy, Y2J Jacket wearing, douchebag Balor. I want to see his expressions and I want to see him be a cocky little shit. I don't want to hear him screaming like he's supposed to be a demon and summoning this crappy demon strength to get out of a chokehold. It's so stupid, and I can't believe they are trying to sell us that this Finn Balor suddenly taps into this kind of super demonic strength before his big matches.

Festus turning into a monster after the bell ringing is more believable than this demon stuff.

He has to turn heel, especially now that Nakamura totally eclipses him as NXT's fan favourite. Honestly, I've always felt incredibly bored and uninterested with Finn Balor. Owens and Joe being themselves has always made his matches worth seeing, but I dont get the interest with Finn.
