Figured Kross was going to win but what a wet fart of a match. And I can say I don't look forward to any future match of his.

poo poo give me Lumis over him

Yeah I would only be excited if WALTER decided he wanted to have both belts, or if KOR faced him and showed him real MMA work

GOD'S FAVORITE CHAMPION
The amount of takeovers I've seen where the title match is the worst match on the card is pretty amazing. I miss Andrade's main event run.

Why try and get an ugly belt when you're WALTER and already have the best looking belt in WWE?

Some part of me tuning into this so intently was to figure out if I was going to go back to watching NXT now that it's going to be possible to do so again, but in terms of these shows making an argument for it, man.

The women's champion is someone I don't like, the men's champion is someone I don't like, Johnny Gargano is the eternal boss of the midcard, a ton of interesting women's talent is locked up in the most pointless tag division possible, and their big up and comers on their way through the card are, like, Dexter Lumis and Eli Drake.

Remember when ROH put the belt on O'Reilly even when he clearly wasn't re-signing, he dropped it to Cole like 2 weeks later, and now both guys are in NXT lol

If Kross started speaking like Kenneth Williams and doing his mannerisms, it would be harder to hate him for his lovely beliefs.

I think gimmick matches nowadays get in the way of the actual good wrestling. I think this would have been a better match if it was a straight up wrestling match. So far it being unsanctioned hasn't really added anything.

The problem with this match is you never feel like these guys really hate each other, they're just Doing Moves except with the occasional weapon shot. There's no soul.

Yeah that's also why I think a wrestling match would be better. They could tell a story without having to work in weapons and stuff that don't really seem like they matter.

This whole event made me realize how much caring about the characters makes me enjoy wrestling more and how little I care about most characters in nxt because I assume they’re just going to be ruined once they get to the main roster.

wrestling is at its best when there are actual characters and storylines instead of "this guy wants the belt and also he big". You can build a character around those things, but they need to be people, too.

Yeah. I can’t get into this because I just don’t care about either guy and their story.

There was a good match somewhere in there, but it was way too long and meandering. Would've been better off just letting them wrestle instead of incorporate weapon spots that didn't do much outside of the cool ending.
