A great NXT. I’m looking forward to War Games. Love NXT starting with a brawl with all 8 women before Kay Lee Ray VS Dakota Kai can even begin. Their Ladder Match was fun. OK promo by Andre Chase. Horrible segment with Grizzled Young Veterans, Jacket Time, & Josh Briggs. James Drake, Zack Gibson, Ikemen Jiro, & Kushida are being treated like jokes. They are better than that. They need to leave WWE & go back to England & Japan where they will be treated better. Cameron Grimes VS Andre Chase was short but solid. They should have had a longer match instead of the crap with Duke Hudson. Good promo by Edris Enofe. He impressed me in his debut match on 205 Live a few weeks ago. OK promos by Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, Bron Breakker, & Tony D’Angelo. Great response by Johnny Gargano. Their match should be fun later. Another hilarious segment with MSK. I guess we have to wait another week to find out who The Shaman is. Kyle O’Reilly & Von Wagner was a great match. O’Reilly & Wagner need a new finisher. Briggs & Jensen did the same move last week. I’m glad that there was a finish & the match didn’t end in a No Contest to get a Triple Threat at War Games. I thought they were going to drop the Daddy’s Girl gimmick for Tiffany Stratton. The Joe Gacy All Inclusive was horrible. I’m not even going to count it in my records since the opponents were named, I wasn’t sure if it was Handicap Match or a Gauntlet, & it didn’t even have a finish. I did like what Roderick Strong did to Gacy instead of talking. OK promo by Solo Sikoa & Boa, who I still don’t like, as his new character doesn’t make sense. Solo Sikoa VS Edris Enofe was good. But I hate that they’re acting that this is the first time that we are seeing Enofe. That’s a slap in the face to the loyal viewers that watch 205 Live. That’s why 205 Live is treated as a joke & an afterthought. I like Boa attacking Sikoa to give Sikoa his first feud. Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon VS Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta was a waste of time. And it was so disrespectful that Feroz & Leon weren’t introduced & treated as Enhancement Talents. They have been having great matches on 205 Live. Another video package for someone that has already wrestled on 205 Live. Draco Anthony wrestled Roderick Strong on November 12. Again, making us loyal fans that watch every WWE show look like idiots. Stop with this crap. Johnny Gargano VS Bron Breakker was an incredible Ladder Match. They made Breakker look like a monster. I loved the brawl, as it bookended the show with the women opening the show brawling. Here are the Facts & Stats for NXT: darrenswinloss.wordpress.com/facts-stats-by-show/

I would argue the women's champion being pinned is something that is more noteworthy because it instantly gives them a credible threat to the title. Where if Toxic Attraction wins, no one is a threat. I figured that's what Cora Jade was in the match for. They go 50-50 booking and Mandy gets her win back. Because if the Heel team was going to lose at War Games, then they should've won the War Games advantage match tonight to give the Faces some adversity for them to try to overcome. Eh. I kinda doubt it. Even with the advantage, the faces are probably going to get screwed somehow (leading to adversity). Remember the last two years have had serious chicanery afoot to pretty much negate the babyface advantage (Dakota turning on her team, and Io being beaten down and locked out of the cage for most of the match, respectively).

2.0 is easily winning War Games, likely with Gargano looking at the lights on his way out, unless he signs a deal in the 11th hour. I think Black and Gold is gonna win wargames and then 2.0 is gonna then take them out post episode going into the new year. Injuring Gargano out of the company Ciampa dropping the belt to Bron LA Knight as the first fodder to Bron The only one that could feasably fall in old NXT's favor is Pete taking the title from Carmello. The feuds they are clearly setting up as far as all the Wargames guys goes are Ciampa/Breakker, Gargano/Carmelo, Knight/Waller, and Dunne/D'Angelo. However with Gargano maybe leaving I don't know where that leaves Carmelo. I guess maybe they would then have Dunne go after him after quickly dispatching D'Angelo. Or I guess they'll have him feud with Lumis when he returns who then will also be looking to avenge his "father in law". However they always book Lumis like such a jobber I don't get how anyone would buy him as any kind of title threat at this point.

So was that potentially Gargano and Kyle’s last NXT match besides war games?

It’s so weird LA Knight being an NXT1.0 babyface. Dude showed up closer to the end and didn’t really do anything except be a dick and lose to everyone except Cameron Grimes, who honestly should be in his spot instead.

LA Knight representing the old NXT feels like Mike Awesome representing WCW in the Invasion.

Joaquin is here and he's dressed for an Eternals porn parody. I think I'd like to see that one.

My first thought was RVD. him or X Pac would be perfect. Pac would be a fun manager. The silhouette looked bald, so I assumed a totally miss-cast Paul Ellering, who is still under contract and could definitely be seen as a tag team shaman.

Ellering with MSK would be one of the weirdest manager/tag team combinations ever, but it IS NXT 2.0.

Going from The Legion of Doom and the Authors of Pain to MSK is quite a tonal shift, I must admit.

Another great show.
I can't watch live, so I read along with the thread as I'm watching the next day. Always a good laugh.
I still expect Johnny to re-sign, but if he doesnt, that match proved why WWE should give him anything he wants to stay.
That match also proved why Booty Nephew is going to be the face of the company shortly. He's their luck out new Goldberg energy but infinitely better find.

The fact that he's saying it to two guys who are trilingual makes it even better.
