After the shit that happened today, it was nice being able to watch this show and enjoy myself for a couple hours.

For sure. Virtual hugs and fist-bumps to my FANily. Love this place.

Genuinely enjoyed that show from top to bottom.

I know we dont have an NXT rate thread anymore, but that was up there with Halloween Havok as a 10 show for me.

Spectacular.

A tight two hours that had great matches, great spots, some excellent story development and a commentary team that was on point.

Great show yet again. Wish I could join in on the live stuff but 2am with a year old baby in the house is not going to happen!

Rather save O'Reilly's coronation for a live Takeover crowd. The air guitaring will be f***ing insane.

Lumis was a good host.  I can see the opening with the lever getting a "JEEZUS!" soundbite on a future Botchamania.

Impressive Last Woman Standing match between Ripley and Gonzalez.  Gonzalez breaking part of the chain-link fence with handcuffs was a unique spot.

I liked Shotzi hitting Austin Theory in the groin with the tank cannon.

Interested to see where O'Reilly goes next with that distraught look on his face after losing a title match against Balor for the second time.

Finally watching this.
Thoughts as I watch:
-I f***ing love Dexter Lumis this silent cold open is PERFECT
-It's a bummer Priest is likely getting called up soon but I think with his personality he'll be fine on the main roster
-Pronouncing UE like "Yooie" instead of just saying Undisputed Era always sounds dumb to me lol
-If the Grizzled Young Veterans wrestle for a long time are they gonna get rebranded to the Grizzled Old Veterans? or is it a Merlin situation and they become the Fresh Old Rookies?
-"That's a match I know Wade Barrett is excited for later." "Hey f*** you, you don't know me."
-Having the letterbox for Xia Li's entrance really helps give it the epic feeling her vignettes had
-Bronson: "SUCKS THATCHER GOT INJURED BUT *I* GOT INJURED TOO BEFORE OKAY?!?!"
-F***ING OUCH at the table bump Rhea took there WOW
-A lot of literal burials in wrestling lately, not the like "booked badly" kind the like "bury you under lots of ring parts and stuff" kind
-A full backstage area PC better be in 2K21 lol
-"I'm so tired of hearing about the Gargano way." "Your problem, Beth, is that you have terrible taste."
-"You know, you might be the most powerful person to ever exist." "I'm so powerful!"
-"A date that will live in infamy. The good kind."
-Johnny screaming "NO!!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!!" after Shotzi shoots Theory in the balls is great. Wade: "SHE FIRED A MISSILE AT HIS GHOULIES!"
-Interfering in a match then pointing and laughing as the ref watches is some prime 2 brain cells stuff by Theory
-I'd love to hear Balor and O'Reilly planning out their matches. "What if you desperately try to break out of a submission by grabbing the ropes with your teeth?" "Oh oh! And then you just f***ing DECK me in the back of the head while I'm still holding onto the ropes as revenge for the broken jaw."
-Both these dudes looked F***ED UP after this match which isn't surprising after their first match but still
-Longterm booking wise I'm wondering if they're gonna go back to Kross as the big bad but with Kyle being the one to dethrone him
