sek69 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 It occurs to me that Kross is just Bray Wyatt 2.0,: presentation wise 10/10, once the bell rings 1/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Love that shot of Joe looking unimpressed with this bullshit during Kross' intro, that was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I haven't watched NXT much this year, but calling Kross "monstrous" when we just watched WALTER two matches ago is laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Kross isn't even the most monstrous guy in this match, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childs Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I mean good lord, I'm not looking to agree with Vince, but who could blame him for taking one look at this guy and thinking geek squad? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Kross is the drizzling shits. That being said, Joe ain't got it anymore either, sadly. I wanted him to but he just doesn't. Karrion Kross is Mike Bennett with an emo gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he looked a bit rusty and shaky. He was still good enough to "karrion" Kross to a decent match. He'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Immediately after the show, the Young Bucks changed their Twitter bio to a Youtube link to a seance video (Adam Cole is dead in BTE canon) and Dr. Britt replied with a thinking emoji.

sek69 Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Just watched Ilja/WALTER again, and god damn. Ilja is the greatest babyface and WALTER is WALTER, so there was very little chance it could not be awesome, but even considering that holy shit this match. Like if you just told me the finish with no context I would have said there was no fucking chance I would be able to buy WALTER of all people tapping out, but it just goes to show how being a great babyface is so important in wrestling.

joeg Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Gut reaction after watching the show, Ilja/Walter was one of, if not the greatest match I've ever seen. It was everything I love about wrestling. The rest of the show was passable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I went to the CWC just to see WALTER/Ilja and I was not disappointed. Glad to hear it came across just as good on video. My MOTY and I don't see anything dethroning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Bennett was at least decent as part of the Kingdom and there was some good stuff with the Briscoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Ilja/Walter was amazing, again. KOR/Cole was not amazing, again. I don't know how the agent system works in WWE, but you compare those two matches and one feels like the wrestlers completely doing their own thing from start to finish, with every detail coming from their awareness of their characters and the story and their abilities. The other feels like HHH and HBK playing with toys or a video game of a match they wish they could still do with minimal input from the wrestlers where everything is laid out beat for beat, facial expression for facial expression, from start to finish.  Whether that's the case or not, I don't know. But that's certainly what it feels like when you see those two matches back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragemaster Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 WALTER vs. Ilja Dragunov I loved it, but I do think the crowd hurt the end a bit, as they did not buy Walter was in trouble. Hurt the heat at the end, I think people were just waiting for Walter to kill llja and that stopped the crowd thinking Walter was going to tap at any stage of the match.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 WALTER vs Dragunov was phenomenal, I'd say as good as their match from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
