It's been pretty shitty so far. 

[C.S.]

Remember when WarGames didn't "need" weapons and garbage cans to be "extreme"?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

So does PWO.

[Blehschmidt]

Leave it to modern WWE to fuck up the most basic aspect of War Games and have the babyfaces get the numbers advantage. 

[jiraffejustin]

How can this many people be involved in this shit and nobody object to it? 

[jiraffejustin]

That dive did look pretty gnarly tho

[Dav'oh]

We've now seen a dropkick and a moonsault do no damage to an aluminium trash can....

[C.S.]

This is a train-wreck.

[C.S.]

I hope Mauro Ranallo returns and replaces the leaving Beth Phoenix.

This snoozefest could have used his awesome energy. 

[Blehschmidt]

Well, I'm gonna call it a night.

See y'all for NXT 3.0

[C.S.]

Prediction: Pete Dunne turns on NXT 0.0 and joins 2.0.

[strobogo]

That war games fucking sucked. Reboot NXT again.

[C.S.]

KoR's stock sure has dropped like a rock - teaming with a green Cal Beverly against the Neo-Nazis. 

[strobogo]

He also looks like he hasn't hit the gym in 2 months

[C.S.]

He doesn't look that much different to me. He was never exactly a "body guy."

That has been the case for a while tbh

 

I just want my boys D'Angelo and Breakker to do well. Get Ciampa and Gargano!

[C.S.]

Wowww, Cal Beverly is such a geek that his big turn backfired.

[ButchReedMark]

Taxi for Baby Bloom. 

 

Dropping off at the dole office.

Gimmick aside, Imperium is a really good team.  I thought the match was pretty good, the stuff at the end doesn't make much sense. It's one thing if you think Kyle's leaving and you want to send him out of the territory, but why have Wagner's heel turn backfire? Even if Kyle stays you just made one of your Young Lions who was getting a push look like a geek. 

[KawadaSmile]

Imperium is fucking good and the fact they are doing great without WALTER is good stuff.

Wagner is possibly done I reckon. Went to smackdown for a week as Pearces bodyguard, not seen there again, looks nothing but a geek when turning against someone half his size who's probably leaving. 

[strobogo]

This show fucking sucks. NXT 2.0 is somehow even more lifeless than old NXT for the past 2 years.

[sek69]

FWIW it seems like people in NXT feel like Kyle and Gargano are done after this show, with Fightful getting the quote "even if one stays he'll probably be out for a while" which I would assume is referring to Candace about to be giving birth soon meaning Johnny will be taking a leave wherever he ends up. 

[sek69]

Also lol @ Bron having to be the latest NXT/WWE person to play the "ACTUALLY, the thing no one likes was my idea" by claiming that the Bron Breakker name was his idea.

I'd believe it if there hadn't already been like 3 other times of this exact thing happen. 

[ButchReedMark]

Taya Valkyrie has prett much come out and said it wasn't her idea after defending their shit decision on the name didn't she? Or did I drink dream that up.
