Just got in and just tuning in now. Going with NXT based on the thread chatter.

Same. Really don't want a title change here.

I've fallen into being very unfamiliar with NXT, so no strong opinion as to preferred winners, but I do like Shayna.

why do they mention a time limit in wrestling matches in 2019. Annoys the crap out of me for some reason.

I'm on the other side here. Shayna just puts me to sleep and she hasn't had a feud I think is good in her almost year of holding the title. Hoping Candice can win and breathe some life into that title which used to be so good.

Riho bridging up out of that splash is one of the most ludicrous no sells ever. Covers a lot of ground and I stand by it.

kinda hard to explain but I don't want to see that spot where riho tried to stomp on her back but she just got up so it ended up a potentially ugly fall to the canvas ever again.

Bring back time-limit draws IMO. Especially in an era where there's a ****-ton of airtime to fill and people just care about entrances, sing-along, and flipping anyway (for which there would just be more time). It's an additional way to deal with booking yourself into a bad spot.

AEW had a draw three ppvs ago and they had a match that went 19+ minutes two ppvs ago so draws are possible and drama for end of match I suppose.

I like Shana, thought that match was very good. Candice is great too.

I can't get into big women wrestlers, they are awful. Offer very little in offense and stop 99% of the roster#s move sets due to their size.

KUSHIDA vs. Walter's definitely something I'll be checking out.

I'm guessing the post-match handshake convo between Cody and Sammy went something like...

"Sorry for pulling your wife in front of me and almost getting her killed."

"That's okay. No problem."

Sammy was setting him up, but Cody looked like an idiot.
