the greatest moment of the show was Xavier Woods screaming at the announce team for mixing up the Lucha Dragons.

Several times, if I remember correctly.

Also Xavier talking about the new day resting out there to restore their stamina like WWE 2K16

Three matches were great, with the tag match being even better than expected. Three matches were meh, with the Wyatts being a little better than my very low expectations. Sheamus/Reigns was slow paced, boring, and bad, with a couple sweet high spots - a basic C, C+ PPV. That ending though, that really put it over for me. If they don't mess it up by giving Reigns another garbage promo tonight, TLC goes down as one of the better shows of the year.

Sheamus/Reigns would have been so much better if we didn't see six guys murder themselves in a ladder match to open the show. Also, I thought TLC matches were pinfall? When did they start adding a ladder stip to them.

TLC matches are only pinfall when there isn't a belt to grab. The only one I remember with a pinfall stip was Shield vs. Hell No & Ryback.

It definitely played better on TV than it did live. At the arena the crowd popped for a high spot, then settled back down for another 3 minutes until the next high spot.

I think the segment with Becky last night most clearly revealed what they are going for - Ric Flair is a bad influence on his daughter. She's a face being encouraged to cheat by the biggest influence in her life and he's convinced her that it is just doing what it takes to win. It was just poorly executed because Charlotte didn't show any ambivalence about all the dirty tricks in the ring when the angle started.

I hope Becky doesn't remain just dumb or naive rather than principled or loyal to a fault.

It was cool that there were two women's matches on the card last night. I personally thought Becky vs Sasha was more entertaining than Paige vs Charlotte.

I think the thing hurting the divas the most is lack of a female road agent/producer and pratice rings to work out matches, or the fact that both matches had to have interference finishes and all the divas are booked terribly

quote:

NXT Champion Finn Balor recently appeared on Sam Roberts’ Wrestling Podcast, here are the highlights…

On a Possible Main Roster Move: “I really believe that what we’re doing here in the [WWE] Performance Center [and] what we’re doing with NXT is something that’s going to be remembered for years. I feel like to get quote, unquote called up to the main roster would be, maybe, like a step back for my career right [now]. Obviously, instant gratification, you get called up to the main roster, that’s great, but I think what we’re doing here in NXT will stand longer in history as kind of like a revolutionary period and to kind of pull myself out of that would be detrimental to my career in the long term.”

I'm sad there wasn't a camera on his face the moment he was asked how he thought things would go if he were called up anytime soon.

When Punk/Ryback was canceled due to Punk's injury, that 6 man tag with the Shield was decided by a pinfall.

So first Roman was a strong, silent, and charismatic heel who had a minor face run with the Shield
Then he had a John Cena persona
Then he was a smartass Rock vibe
Then they played around with a Daniel Bryan screwed over baby face
Now he is a Stone Cold-lite anti-hero?

What next? A smartass anti-hero like CM Punk?
