i really wanted a zsj finals run but i can't see it now. and it's usually a safe bet that the guys in the two final matches of the groups are fighting for the spot. unless we get some deal where omega and ibushi go to time limit draw and naito gets through on that.

What are good starting points for NXT, 205 live, and the UK stuff? (I didnt watch the UK tournament from last year)

for NXT, start from the first TakeOver in May 2014. The UK stuff, I believe there's only been the UK tournament and two more shows, with other matches taking place on NXT. More UK shows are next week, the ones being recorded as i'm typing this.

Apparently Vince called a meeting backstage specifically to fire Big Cass. Lol

Was he trying to make an example of him or something? Jesus. What did this moron do?

i assume this just means, a meeting with cass, where he told him that he was fired.

I don't think Heel Roman would be any better. If anything, heel Roman would be even more insufferable at this point because Face Roman now is just him whining or attempting to be a badass. And what could heel Roman be that is any different?

the issue is being allowed to boo him. it's being allowed to cheer for the person he's against, making a wrestling match that you can care about. the framing of roman as a face despite the fans wishes to boo him is emblematic of the disconnect wwe has with its audience and what has ultimately put me off the product

Kinda funny that Kevin Kelly kept pushing The field is so crowded that someone like YOSHI-HASHI might not make it in because he sucks lately! and then hes in.

when i heard that line of reasoning i was thinking, that's never stopped him before!

The officials were just trying to protect him! The actual ref didnt try to stop Johnny, and theres nothing he can do if backstage agents wish to interfere

i can kind of see this, but i wish some explanation had been given by commentary or otherwise. it's a small thing but it took me out of the moment enough to put this beneath both the other gargano main events this year.
---

yeah i meant to include my follow on logic of "or any real fight". i just don't see any justification for doing the pull apart unless you're awarding him the match. thought the match was great just the logic there bugs me.

Steiner posted...

to me, the moment officials start pulling gargano off, they have to award him the win.

Why?

I can see your argument that the match didnt need them, but this is a thought exercise

well because otherwise there is still a match in progress and officials have no right to be pulling them apart. in mma if you're being pulled off the other guy cause he's too injured, that's a win.

^ It sets up a rubber in Brooklyn.

That's the answer the I'm giving.

It is Yours if you choose to accept it.

It will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

so did my proposition. everything remains the same except the logic.

This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

i preferred the first match, though it might mostly be because i really didn't like officials trying to pull gargano off before the match had been officially called. to me, the moment officials start pulling gargano off, they have to award him the win. they should have just had ciampa tapping, and gargano get frustrated because there's no ref, release the hold to try to do some more damage and THEN eat the ddt on the boards.

How did he get 26 points? He lost 26 to 30 but the math isn't adding up unless they called round one a 10 10.

round one 10-9
round two 10-9
round three 10-8
