I swear, if this happened in NJPW, people would be raving about storytelling and length. Honestly, New Japan caused this because now everybody wants their own Okada vs Omega and do a bunch of shit and be "epic" and blah blah blah It's smelling your own farts. Welcome to wrestling in 2018 since literally every top guy outside of like Randy Orton works like this apparently At least that match was 2 years worth of story from both sides and not just their history with each other. Kenny and his friend problems. Okada and him going the distance the last year with some of his defenses with all of that coming together.

I'm sure this isn't a popular opinion, but Nikki Cross needs a new character. I love her as a wrestler, but that character just doesn't work/seems more corny without Sanity around. Smiling crazy person that grabs their hair and so forth hasn’t worked since at least Ozzy Obourne 1982.

Every epic match is required to have a spot where guys look at eachother all dramatically and stand up slowly. Every single one. That was literally the entire feud before the match. I feel like the people complaining didn't see this build-up at all (or the three minute promo before the damn match), it was Dream trying to prove he could do what Ricochet did and hurt his own back in the process, which is what did him him above all else. And NXT doesn't do a ton of events like this, of course they're going to have all their talent go all out now. I saw it. Still not impressed by the match going 10 minutes longer than it should have. Sorry man.

I want to feel bad for Nikki here, given Sanity is gone. But given how Sanity is being used (hint - they’re NOT), maybe they should be sorry. <iframe width="9.579999999999984" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 9.58px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: -6px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_16984735" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.579999999999984" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 9.58px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 433px; top: -6px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_74713858" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.579999999999984" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 9.58px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 149px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_1038760" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.579999999999984" height="4.199999999999989" style="position: absolute; width: 9.58px; height: 4.2px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 433px; top: 149px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_80978006" scrolling="no"></iframe> I think Nikki murdered them and then performed some amateur taxidermy. Now she keeps them in her car to give herself somebody to talk to on long journeys.

Did Nikki murder the rest of sanity and hide them in her basement ?

Honestly, I don't know why Nikki can't just jump with SAnitY after this match is over. There's nothing left for her to do if she comes up short, and I don't think Shayna is dropping here.

You know she’s really crazy because she follows her entrance choreography perfectly

I swear, if this happened in NJPW, people would be raving about storytelling and length. And if it happened on the main roster it’d be soooo boring and too looooong. Damn it Road Dogg!! One of Gedo’s faults is being the only booker in Japan that thinks a main event has to be over half an hour.

Nikki’s pre-match freakout is bad.

Welcome to wrestling in 2018 since literally every top guy outside of like Randy Orton works like this apparently As soon as Omega/Okada started going long, NJPW decided to make every main event overly long and it's carried over to other companies. The problem with the Okada/Omega series of matches is that promotions tried to replicate them because of the coverage and reviews they received instead of doing their own thing. As Tanahashi himself said in his book, you shouldn't stick to one recipe if you can make your own thing.

Everything involving Shayna so far has been handled a trillion times better than Ronda/Nia.

The Scottish Lassie Kicker No, that would be the lamentably underpushed Becky Lynch. I’d pay money to see Ireland v. Scotland though.
