WWE would need to sail that gold boat up to Bryan's door for him to work for them at this point.

Aliyah looked woefully out of position for that moonsault, tbh. Not defending Io, but Aliyah isn't exactly a good worker either.

lol pinning that on Aliyah just because you have a hate boner. And ignoring Io botching it in the MYC multiple times.

And you seem to have a problem with Io in general. I gave Io a pass in the MYC because she was only in the US for like one or two weeks before then, and most likely wasn't used to WWE rings. Did Io botch that moonsault? Yeah. But Aliyah is a very bad worker as well.

This seems like an accident at best, considering she's been hitting them perfectly most of the time after the MYC. From what I saw, more people were worried about Taynara than Aliyah.

Considering her only televised matches have been the MYC (taped over two days back to back) stuff and Evolution (where she was on track to hit it properly but Toni got her knees up), probably not on TV (since she hasn't debuted on TV yet, probably at the next set of tapings). But house shows yeah for the most part. The Aliyah stuff tonight was the first time she actually messed it up in recent memory.

Give me a list of wrestlers have if she gives them a concussion you'll deem it Io's fault.

Honestly I don't think it helps that Aliyah was pretty much halfway across the ring either. Either Io positioned her there, or Aliyah moved out too far. If Io positioned her that far out, its her fault. However, if Aliyah moved out that far on her own, Io should probably get a pass.

And I don't think Io's given anyone a concussion. And it looks like from that gif that Io landed on Aliyah's torso with her knees, not her head. And yeah, I dunno what goes on at the PC, but at Live Events, Io hasn't had much time to hit moonsaults either. The majority of her time on the Largo Loop so far has been jobbing to the MMA 4HW. I think she's only had three or four matches on the Largo Loop that haven't involved the MMA 4HW. I say the MMA 4HW because outside of one exception (where she hit it perfectly on Jessamyn, only for the MMA 4HW to get DQed when Shayna jumped her), she's never had a chance to use the moonsault in their matches.

Io’s moonsault looks the same every time I see it so I don’t know why people keep laying down for it in the literal middle of the ring.

Io should be working on that moonsault in the performance given where she's landing. Maybe we should stop calling it a moonsault if it keeps looking like that and give it the name "flying reverse double knees" or something.

To be fair, Ibushi is still trying to find his bushido death in combat and encourages everyone to drop him directly on his head

I think it's less that Ibushi encourages people to drop him on his head and more that without fail he will always use whatever control he has in a move to manoeuvre himself to land directly on his neck.

Mundo Deportivo (Spain based newspaper) published an interview with Io Shirai. There wasn't much to note, but here are the basics:

- She has talked to Shinsuke Nakamura, but not about wrestling. But rather getting used to life in America, since she's not used to living here quite yet.

- Her career goal was to always come to WWE at some point.

- Her in ring style is constantly changing, as she is trying to mix Japanese, Lucha, and American styles together.

- While she is interested in becoming NXT Women's Champion, she specifically wants to beat Kairi for the title. She brings up that she has faced Kairi many times in Japan, and that she would love to show the WWE Universe what those two can do.

quote:

An update on Saturday's NXT Takeover show from Los Angeles. The show right now is scheduled for only four matches instead of the usual five because of the length of time all of the matches are expected to get, particularly the War Games match, plus they are doing a two of three fall women's title match with Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane. The Kassius Ohno vs. Matt Riddle match will still take place in Los Angeles, but it will be taped before Takeover starts and will air on the weekly TV show probably on 11/21 if not a later date. They are still taping one television show before Takeover even though they are also doing a television taping on 11/15 in San Jose.

Personally heard Shayna's foot/heel situation hasn't cleared up. Shayna hasn't wrestled since WWE Evolution and walked out of the arena on crutches. The match will still go ahead most likely.

Pete Dunne who has been dealing with a foot injury the last while will wrestle on Saturday.

Unless I am thinking of someone else, Shayna has had a history of leg/foot injuries, so they could have taken her off the road for that as a precaution. I guess we won't know the severity of the injury until after War Games.

I imagine if she will require time off, she will most likely drop the title since there is a major house show tour coming up next month, and I doubt WWE wants the champion missing much time.

Given the foot/heal injuries for Shayna and Pete, I wonder how their matches will be. Pete doesn't have to be in the ring the whole time so I'm sure all the other wrestlers can cover for him but Shayna/Kairi is 2 out of 3 so that should be kinda long...I wonder if there isn't going to be a lot of interference to limit whatever mobility problems she might have.

Becky may be the most badass female babyface. But Kairi is the most pure.

I know she most likely won't win on Saturday, but I hope Kairi does win, because god loving drat she's really good at pulling on your heartstrings and is easily one of the best babyfaces in the entire company right now.
