I wonder if that was the planned finish or if the chain was supposed to factor into it.

If the latter, they covered it up very well.

gargano should be a huge star
hes extremely likable, wrestles extremely well in general, and wrestles even better specifically as a face in peril

and the best thing about the revival (even moreso than their awesome matches) is how they are still one of the few things around that are trying to be heels and actually getting people invested in their opponents. so many heels today just get the pops for being the cool guys

they still find a way to get the crowd to hate them

in 2/3 falls matches (or ironman) they really should have a graphic with fall counts

its so refreshing to see tag matches be about things like that and the struggle to make the tag in the first place.

I loved it. Do you know the reason why you don't see that anymore? It's because they don't want the ref to look like a complete idiot. They call it "legitimizing the ref"

Also, would it kill them to give us one choke with the tag rope

But Benoit. Not only will they not give it to you but even as popular as that was in early 90's WCW, they edited out all of the chokes with the tag rope from those shows.

they definitely booked that match so well given the potential story of gargano/ciampa. gargano takes the fall, ciampa makes one, ciampa yelling a bit at gargano during the match (get up!). really didnt know how it was gonna end the entire way

awesome match

nxt takeover was the better show of the weekend for mania and summerslam to me, but I care more about storytelling and in ring wrestling than dream matches and MOMENTS. I can understand how a lot of the wwe audience would like brock/orton, brock/goldberg, rock segments at mania, etc more than the nxt shows.

The best part of this new thing of having a takeover for all the big shows is that theres now something for everyone

im glad mickie is back
she was one of the few women that i thought was actually really good back in the day
her stuff with trish i thought was awesome

and now that theres more of a serious focus to womens wrestling its nice for her to get back at it
