Roode could have worked the leg throughout the match and you'd have the same finish without the downtime. I'm really tired of people landing awkwardly and the match stopping for a doctor to dick around being a part of every other major match.

That doesn't protect Nakamura.

Get Nakamura the gently caress out of NXT and put him on top of the Raw main event scene. If he's not the Universal belt holder, put him on Smackdown as the new member of the Fashion Police.

shinsuke nakamura, king of fashion police would elevate tyler breeze to where he deserves to be

That was quite possibly Shinsuke's best match in the WWE so far. Holy gently caress that was amazing and I am very, very happy with that result.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,

having a guy randomly appear in a rumble as a debut

and then have them lose

weakens their debut significantly

According to Wikipedia, the Freeman Coliseum has a capacity of 11,700, which is lower than both the Brooklyn and Toronto attendance, so it isn't even the biggest crowd he's competed in front of in NXT.

I'll be glad when WWE runs out of old near 40 year old wrestlers who are past their prime to sign and starts using the younger late 20s Indy talent that they have, this excludes Chris Hero since he is still awesome and great in ring.

I think having the Dudleys drop the IWGP titles without getting NJPW's permission was part of it too.
