April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839774 AOP being down here as long as they have is the best evidence possible that Vince doesn't follow NXT.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839775 Are the Authors of Pain the best "NXT Developmental Project" ever at this point? I mean I don't count Braun or Elias much, but the AOP are so damn fun now a days. They were put into a pretty high profile position when they were still really new and have more than lived up to it. I wonder, does Ellering have much of a backstage role with them? I can't imagine he's solely there for nostalgia purposes.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839776 Between Cole winning the ladder match and taking the early table bump, I wouldn't be surprised if he retains the tag belts here and they're heating him up for a run opposite Almas. If not Almas, he's Balor/Rollins first opponent for the IC belt
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839778 It's very distracting for me that McGuinness sounds just like Baldrick from Blackadder. I keep expecting him to say that he has a cunning plan.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839780 How many fucking jumping knees in one match can Roderick Strong do?
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839783 Roderick Strong just turned heel on a WWE broadcast. What a wild world we live in. Dunne/Roddy for the UK Title is something that can definitely headline a Network special from Manchester
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839786 I greatly look forward to Dunne destroying all of them, so I enjoy the angle.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839788 That was a very appropriate ending for a tournament honoring Dusty, gotta give them that.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839789 Not to get all kayfabey, but doesn't the "Freebird Rule" apply to the Undisputed Era? Meaning, does Strong assume Fish's place in the team with O'Reilly?
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839790 NXT trying to astroturf their own Bullet Club, I guess. Though there has to be a better name than "Undisputed Era".
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839791 As long as I see two hosses beating the shit out of them, it's cool. Still, giving Cole the NA Title, the Tag Titles AND the Dusty on a single event seems like... too much. Like, a legit problem.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839792 As much as I'm not interested in Adam Cole or Roderick Strong, if this turn means that we get PWG Shitty Little Boots Roddy, then I'll be fine with it. And it was probably one of the only ways to wake the crowd back up.

Still, giving Cole the NA Title, the Tag Titles AND the Dusty on a single event seems like... too much. Like, a legit problem. I think WWE sees Adam Cole like a young Triple H or the next Seth Rollins. I fully expect him to be WWE Universal champion one day.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839795 That would just add another talking point into Dylan's "Adam Cole is Edge" talking point.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839798 Playing catch up: it's actually been forever since I saw one of those car crash matches. I didn't see War Games. I've missed the last few TLCs. Etc. Since I haven't seen one in a while, I thought this was fairly compelling. I liked the personalities in the match for the most part. Just a strong variety. I thought it was pretty well put together though it would have benefited from losing the segment in the middle with a lot of "one person climbing, another pulls him off." It was definitely most interesting when multiple guys were involved at once. My favorite bit was Dream's elbow drop parade. His selling is so much fun to watch. I liked the build and the payoff to Dain vs Lars. I've never seen an Adam Cole match before, actually, and the finish was definitely a let down.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839799 Is Cole bad? I didn't watch him in ROH or anything, but I've always pulled for him because he was on Maryland indy shows that I used to go to.
