Gargano's interview was comical. He's just incapable of coming across as anything but a dork.

Mauro put in a decent performance but it was still impossible to take seriously.

It's also very stupid because his Finn feud and now this feud are all about him being denied a moment. The prize for Gargano is just being cheered in NXT.

Yeah intentionally losing and getting rewarded with (presumably) a title shot sucks, even if tricking Cole is good.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
As terribly booked as the women's cage match was, the wrestling was still good, especially from Tegan.

They did a cage match because someone who hasn't watched a WWE cage match in 25 years thought it would stop Raquel from interfering. Dakota won after constant interference from Raquel.

Also I just got around to watching DIY Vs moustache mountain, and that sure felt silly when Ciampa took a burning hammer diving knee strike combo and kicked out, then a two man burning hammer, into pulling Trent on top to take Tyler's senton while Ciampa was unhurt.

Tegan and Dakota work well together, which isn't a surprise. I still think Dakota works better as a face, but at least she's getting some wins now.

This is a really bad trap to fall into, and honestly, even AEW did it with having MJF intefere in the cage match with Cody a few weeks back (although that wasn't as egregious as the cage stip there was more 'so Cody can't escape WARDLOW') because for interfering in a cage match to get a reaction, you need to establish that it actually stops interference most of the time.

I mean, I love the thing where a face has the stable guy in the cage and his lackies are trying to climb and the face is just knocking them off. That's fun.

Its just that if you're booking a cage match to keep out interference, and then you have the interference, and the heel wins... then what was the point? What story did you tell?

Honestly struggling to think of a cage match that didn't end with interference or shenanigans. I'm sure there are a few.

I suppose the NXT-edition Wargames matches have been relatively shenanigan-free, but I don't know if they count as a "cage" match per se.

I completely forgot that match even happened. I remember the ring breaking, because the same poo poo happened with Brock Lesnar about 10 years prior to that.

this was part of that feud but it was the blow off where Big Show was clean shaven before his recent surgery and after Braun beat him he threw Show through the cage. It ruled. Big Show wasn't wrestling like a giant who needed hip surgery in the cage match

Tegan spent a lot of the match either getting interfered with or trying to win this grudge match via escape but it wasn't bad if you can suspend disbelief.

It's more that I didn't recognize him because he's changed his look so much.

(But it's also kinda true)

That said he's a super nice guy and was one of the nicest people on the wrestling forum I posted on before navigating here, so if he's happy I'm happy for him. :)

I was gonna say "maybe they did it for their health since they didn actually do war games" and then i realized that was awhile ago and they just did a dangerous street fight and a cage match back to back. Only thing i can think of is that they're gonna face each other again at the next takeover

Get used to it as Smackdown is coming from there due to COVID-19 and probably all Raw/Smackdown tapings for the next month will be too

No I was referring to the chants.

Wasn't the NXT PC show supposed to be limited to Full Sail regulars or basically WWE stans? I thought there was an invite-only thing.

Most WWE stans I've known over the years are super critical of the shows. They have their favorites they cheer for. But they're used to seeing those faves get cheaped out so consistently that failure is an accepted fact of life.
