"Tonight's final bout is for the Intercontinental heavyweight championship, scheduled for one fall or to curfew"

That is indeed great

I think with all the potential benefits of network exposure they would find a way to make it work as a two hour show. (I guess I'm totally out of touch, because this is the first I've seen anyone actually say three hours is ideal)

This interests me too. A lot of chatter about WWE on Fox in 2019 lately. This obviously would be huge if it were to happen. Any thoughts from those out there with more insight than myself on TV dealings and such? The future of WWE fascinates me, either with something like this happening or it being bought by a major conglomerate, or both

😆

Just binged the first round. Great stuff. Braun and Alexa are a perfect fit

Who wants to play Parv?

Legit LOL when Mauro wished Gargano "the best of luck in his future endeavours"

Sorry, I was just joking. I'm so accustomed to iamthedoctor's wonderful prose l'm unable to realize when someone is legit esl around here

What planet are you from? Oh, Japan. Never mind

It all turned out fine last night and it was great, but there was that brief moment when she first started talking where she was nervous as fuck and I thought the crowd was going to turn on her hard

You're just begging for jdw to make a comeback

Yeah, keep her talking to a minimum and she'll be fine

Live TV

H needs to grow some hair back

Can't stand the constant sniping at each other by the commentary team. Awful

Nia vs Asuka was fantastic!

Great match. Everyone got to shine

First time seeing Woken Matt. Disney doing punk rock

Loved Andre vs Studd from this one. 7/23/83 from the Cap Centre

After their classic at the last Takeover, I thought there would be more interest in this match around here. I mean, it's four days later and no thread for what I thought was another awesome match between the two. Is it because it was taped weeks ago and the spoilers were known? It seems not a lot of folks follow the week to week NXT TV. Yes, I know that there are not a lot of "great matches" on the show, but it's only one hour a week and there have been tons of gems like this one over the years. Anyway, this was great. What a rivalry this has turned out to be, and Almas and Gargano have become much bigger stars because of it. In a way it's the US version of Okada vs Omega, centered around a groundbreaking match that shot both men to new heights of stardom, in particular the loser of said match. The stakes were raised for this one with Gargano agreeing to leave NXT if he lost. The match was wrestled at a break neck pace and called back various moments from their past matches. The finish was brilliant. Gargano "should have won" with Almas on the verge of submitting (nice touch that he didn't give the visual tap, so he's still strong as champ going forward) but his bitter and crazy ex-partner Ciampa ruins it all by interfering while the ref was out. It's also neat how the injured Ciampa has played either a direct or indirect part in at least three of the four matches between the two, as remember it was Vega throwing a DIY t-shirt at Gargano that distracted him and cost him the first encounter back at Takeover Brooklyn. Ciampa's cold blooded wave goodbye to Gargano at the very end of the show was so cool. Going forward, Gargano has that long-awaited feud on the horizon, plus unfinished business with Almas (he needs to get that win!). But how can he do this if he is gone from NXT??? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT FANS! So yeah, loved it. ****1/4. (Yeah, I'm doing quarters now. I get the need for them)

Thanks brother!

I've always maintained, to Parv's horrified chagrin, this was a great match

Yeah, I loved that. The anticipation they've built for that feud has been great
