Goddamn Sami Callihan killed an easy gimmick that should've had him as a main eventer with a shyt moveset :francis:

Forget the moveset, how bout that stupid ass ring attire he had :scust:

Like I've been saying for months, it's pretty much insulting that Asuka & Nakamura aren't on the main roster yet. They have no business being in NXT at this point because they're hands down better by a thousand miles than their peers. Asuka is the best female wrestler in the company, and Nakamura would easily be the best part of RAW or Smackdown. Just make it happen already :francis:

Main Event was very :ld: to me. very slow and methodical. it wasn't bad I just wished they ramped up the pace a little bit.
Both title matches needed at least one highspot. They didn't feel any different than a tv match to me. And I'm in the extreme minority that feels like a running knee isnt an exciting finisher

Missed the first 45 minutes last night. Caught up now.

- Aries/Jose was fantastic. I didn't think it would be anything more than average. Itami with the GTS. :banderas:

- Billie Kay finally using that fire theme on TV. :ohlawd: I don't care if she doesn't have an ass, she's still bad as hell to me. :birdman:

- Roode's entrance :russ:

How come the main roster doesn't get smart and do special entrances at shows other than the main events at WM?

I'm trying to remember Bobby Roode's finishers, and all I can think of is when he was using the Perfect Plex around 07, and something called the Roode Bomb when I sort of lost touch with TNA and came back.

Watching now

Match one pretty good. No Way Jose has a lot of potential still and I think the way ge is animated in everything he does will work BETTER in big crowds than full sail, similar to enzo and cass

Ares is ares...a top tier worker, but jose doesnt have the best sense of timing...there has been some missed sequences here....the right guy won....and ares heeled it up at the end

(Grade scale) i give it a B-

Main event was a little slow, but good. Nakamuras entrance was so epic. I like the finish and how they made it seem like Joe really broke his jaw.

I'll watch the rest later this week. I can'twatch 6 hrs of this sh1t in one day.
