3.75 stars for Styles/Nakamura is too high. Finn/Rollins/Miz and Cedric/Ali were both better and more entertaining than that match. Other than that, these grades aren't all that far off.

The babyface Vince wants Roman to be he has in Seth, Finn, Dean (idk why), Rusev, Braun, AJ, and now that he is back Daniel is shocking. And he still believes that we want his guy :smh:
Gotta credit to Triple H he hasn't force anyone on NXT the way Vince has and when that day comes I have so much hope he will actually listen to the crowd.

Ciampa is the best heel in the company right now the heat he had during that Takeover match :wow:
I might even say he’s the top heel in wrestling right now for heat. Cody is doing great heel work but he’s still getting cheers from the crowd.


Ciampa and Cody are real heels. They don't care AT ALL about trying to be cool. Kevin Owens is a tweener to me, his moves are too cool and he is too funny/clever to be a FULL heel.
 
Eva Marie needs to do IT already.

And be IT, I mean porn.

That's if her brothers would let her, right Case Case ?

Y'all will be happy to know that I'm currently in negotiations with her brotherlovers for her freedom..Several lawyers and financial backers involved..But I shall get it done..It's just gonna take time..

Bump Nak/AJ and Honda/Steph down half a star, bump Bork/Leeky down half a star, and add at least a quarter star to Flair/Oscar and the list would be just FINE..Flair/Asuka was easily the best match on the card..Told the best story, had the most in ring psychology, and took the crowd's emotions up and down fantastically..

What would you give AJ/Nakamura? Remember, Meltzer says, if you are arguing 1/4 of a star, and even 1/2 of a star, it is a pointless argument. You could be seeing the same thing.

Yall understand this COMPLETELY goes against the, "But if it were at the Tokyo Dome......." argument right? This is usually the case with NXT Takeovers though, but yall like to play dumb as if he actually penalizes good wrestling simply because it is in the USA
 
Watched the Andre documentary last night..Wasn't that good..Not enough stories about Andre's work in Japan, his relationships with other wrestlers, or his relationship with his daughter..Too much Vince/Hogan stuff and drinking stories..Overall the documentary was a bust..

Gargano/Ciampa would've been 5.5 stars at least in Tokyo Dome. FACT.
 
DC says that NXT guys can't be considered for that.
Yea, I am not letting folks that spend 40 hours per week in a training facility, practicing moves, and don't have to worry about progressive travel fatigue to be in consideration for best in the world. He is a great talent though but there are others doing the same on a bigger and more challenging stage.
