Posted November 17, 20186 yr comment_5871520 Honestly there's not a lot of buzz going on right now regarding NXT. You'd think they would be smart and get Riddle on the main show, but alas. Anyway, here's the main card: Shayna Baszler (C) vs Kairi Sane Aleister Black vs Johnny Gargano War Games: The Undisputed Era vs War Raiders/Ricochet/Pete Dunne Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs Velveteen Dream Is it going to be good action? Sure. But this might be one of the coldest Takeovers in a while.
November 17, 20186 yr comment_5871522 Kind of worn out on Gargano and Ciampa-centered stuff to be honest. It's really sad they can't fit Ohno-Riddle on the show for a 6 minute sprint or something. I am sure the wargames match and women's match will deliver, though.
November 17, 20186 yr comment_5871527 Hunter mentioned on his conference call that they kept the show to 4 matches because they knew two would need time (War Games and the women's match) and they didn't want to be in a spot where they would have to cut someone's time or burn out the crowd.

November 17, 20186 yr comment_5871534 It's 2 of 3 falls, so presumably it will get significant time Card is solid as usual, and also as usual I'm sure it will be a great show.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871545 was hoping they got rid of the shark cage gimmick but I guess not So we are getting Riddle vs Ohno tonight even though they said in the pre-show it would happen next week Well that explains that. What the fuck?
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871548 Gargano vs. Black is a weird match I don't know how to describe. I think it was very good, but it was dancing the line between a bit too over the top for me? But I don't quite think it crossed the line.

All that forced melodrama...Johnny especially needs to tone down the overacting and let the match speak for itself. Unrelated, Dream's hair tonight is just amazing.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871552 Dream with the ring post figure-four! I don't know why more people don't steal that spot. And then they worked the regular figure-four in the ring wonderfully.

And then they worked the regular figure-four in the ring wonderfully. I honestly think Dream's Figure 4 in that one one of the best I've seen in years. It just looked painful. Might be the long legs.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871554 While I am not crazy about Ciampa kicking out of a big move onto the belt, Dream being unaware of there being the belt there and checking to make sure he wasn't getting DQed was a brilliant way of explaining the kick out.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871556 That got silly with the 2.9 kickouts and went too long, but what a match. And kudos to Ciampa for working with only boot on for the last 10 minutes or so.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871557 Both Black/Gargano and Ciampa/Dream have been a ton of fun. Still not sure why they short changed the girls though.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871559 Went and saw NXT live on Thursday and am excited for this show. Just got home and figured I would do an (almost live) blog. Can't imagine people live were stoked by the Riddle/Ohno match, but I chuckled. https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2018/11/nxt-takeover-wargames-2-almost-live-blog.html
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871560 I really had trouble getting into the match with all of the Hogan appreciation spots in the beginning but man once they got that out of the way this was incredible. Dream is out of his mind to take basically a Cactus Jack elbow to the floor. Ciampa wrestling the last 5 minutes missing a boot is something as well. Will take this match over Gargano vs Black all the time.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871561 I really want this match to be good because I love War Games, but man, when I watch a War Games match I am not really looking for Ricochet and Cole doing Highly Athletic Guy Wrestling.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871562 Wow the women's title match really underdelivered. Hated that finish, whole thing felt rushed.
November 18, 20186 yr comment_5871564 I am way behind but I don't get all these guys arguing about who is going out next out of the cage. The whole idea was that the team has a "plan" of who is coming out next. Basically it seems the first person who can squeeze out of the shark cage first was the next person
