Just now in the Summer Slam tag 4-way, one of the Matadores took a bad fall.  I tried to play it back to see what happened and the 10 sec rewind button and the manual time slider were both disabled.  Just me?

Some quick thoughts on NXT TAKEOVER:

Some quick thoughts on NXT TAKEOVER:

1) I didn’t think I could love the Vaudevillains more, but now I do.  They have clearly leveled up their in-ring work, and I rather like how they play as faces, I wasn’t expecting that.  The Blue Pants bit was also a nice touch, I like her more than I should.  🙂

2) The final main event of Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens was very good.  It was a solid ladder match, with some good back and forth action, and a nice exciting finish.  But it wasn’t great.  It lacked a certain intangible factor, a certain level of storytelling.  I enjoyed the hell out of it, but this is not a match that we’ll be talking about again years from now.

3) On the other hand, the other main event of Bayley vs. Sasha Banks was AWESOME.  There was a story being told, the in-ring action was damn good, we got invested in Bayley’s struggle, and the payoff was magnificent, with an absolutely brutal finishing sequence and a heartwarming post-match celebration.  My only quibble is that Bayley sometimes forgot to sell the “broken hand”, which did stretch the suspension of disbelief a bit, and that I worry that Sasha wasn’t made to look strong enough here.  But that’s hairsplitting.

As has been said, SummerSlam has a tough act to follow.

Has anyone else been frustrated with NXT leading up to TakeOver tomorrow night?

Has anyone else been frustrated with NXT leading up to TakeOver tomorrow night? 

There’s some matches I’m super excited for, but all of the lead up has been pretty annoying, week after week, we have the big name stars facing unknown guys.

Bayley vs Banks: little to no build up.

Samoa Joe vs Baron Corbin: little build up.

Lyger vs Prince pretty: little build up, we just knew about it for a while.

It feels like the only two that have had decent build up are Owens vs Balor, and the Tag titles match!

Normally, I’d not care as much, but I’m more invested, cause I get to see it live with cool friends.  and I’m excited for the matches, but for their first TakeOver event outside of Florida, the lead up has been less than stellar compared to so much stuff they have done before.

Argh.

Psst.

The kickstarter for the World Wide Wrestling RPG launched just before last years Summerslam. I clicked “go live”, went to Justin Hunt ‘s place for a rad cookout and Summerslam party, watched John Cena get suplexed 16 times, and came home to find the thing already well on the way to funding. It was a great day.

Without the success of the Kickstarter, there’s no way this game would have gone on to get into so many people’s hands and on so many gamers tables. In a very real way, Summerslam marks the birth of WWWRPG.

Happy birthday, WWWRPG! To celebrate, please feel free to take 20% off all WWWRPG stuff in my online store! Use code YEARONE at checkout. The promotion runs over the weekend and I’ll be posting more publicly about it later, but this is a headsup for my FAVORITE WRESTLING FANS!

This is a great article about New Jack, a man who legitimately scares me.

The worst part about the ECW episodes on the Network are that they dubbed over Natural Born Killaz (that looped throughout his matches) with an even more annoying siren effect.
