This really is the first main roster PPV I'm actually looking forward too in a minute.

Why?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Why?

Because maybe he has an interest in it.

[shanafan]

Barely was one, just enjoyed the match. Some people complained they didn't want yet another match, but Nak losing to Joe wasn't an issue

if theres anyone who should rightfully go over Nakamura, its joe. no problems here. He is a wonderful person and great performer.

Nice, yeah I didn't mind the finish at all. And true, I think that another rematch isn't needed.

 

[serenewarfare]

Didn't catch Takeover live last night. How was the WrasslinGAF meltdown when Nakamura lost?

Nakamura losing is fine if it's the end of the feud. Joe is a great champion. But it's almost certainly not the end of it. That's the issue.

 

[Data West]

Nakamura noselling Joe working his knee was ridiculous. Even in the realm of 'fighting spirit'(which should never leave Japan and I'd be ok with it stopping in Japan too) it was ridiculous.

F'ing Miss nWo. F'ing Bischoff making out with the winner.

The WCW invasion is like the nWo all over again. Without the excitement. Or star power. Or smart presentation. Or sensical storytelling.

If Ospreay vs. Scurll is this year's Dragon Lee vs. Kamaitachi, I wonder what feud from this year will tour all around the world in 2017?

Now I want to hear him refer to tag matches as "multiplayer"

May as well go all the way with it

Harumph, that'll put butts in the seats.

Fixed, for Schiavone accuracy

TJ Perkins: "Me, Rich Swann, and this other guy are going to show the WWE Universe what co-op multiplayer is all about! And we're going to win because we're about ethics in wrestling journalism!"

 

[wild wild rice]

Time for some comfy couch co-op with me and my boys. Keep your eyes on your own screen!

Well. That's something. They already have the cruiser weight setup for the ring. Tag match must be going first.

 

[Uno Venova]

Why?

I want to see the cross brand interactions and how all of the matches play out.

Ehh. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the only match in the WWE in the last... 10 years? that had continual selling of a leg injury in a 20+ minute match was Undertaker/Michaels at WM 26. Big part of why that match is much better than many give it credit for.

Though Joe even targeting the knee is the first place is kind of dumb anyway considering the finish of the match and the build-up to the match.

Joe targeting Nakamura's knee even if it's not his 'plan to win' makes sense. It's Nakamura's finisher. If he gets hte knee, he doesn't have to worry about getting kneed. Except when Nakamura becomes John Cena and makes his working the knee feel like a complete waste of time.

I'd buy this. Have Smackdown win the most important tag-match and also the last one which can be the best way they look strong while also losing. But I still wish they would win.

I finished Season 4 of the X-Files. I wonder what it was like to live through that cliffhanger. To the Google!

I consider the episode "one" of season 6 the peak.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'm gonna shoot and say I'm hoping to enjoy the PPV. The main event is the only real thing I dread.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I tried to go through the X-Files, at some point it gets pretty garbo. And it feels like it's on a treadmill. That's why I couldn't finish Sopranos.

The Sopranos was great. And the finish was fantastic, brother.

(But I agree that it dragged a bit here and there. Most shows unfortunately do.)

Other than Raw winning 2 out of the 3 SS matches, the exact opposite of what I think is gonna happen. Guess you shouldn't argue with the money though.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Noooo.

Well, not in terms of quality peak (there's some insanely good episodes in season 5), but the mythology truly starts to fall apart and meandering. Basically it becomes the Invasion.

Spoiler

And when it came back earlier this year, the mythology was still Invasion tier
