    I'm glad they didn't try to work a full match with sami injured

    this gives him a way to take time off to heal without actually losing again

    That ending is super super lame

    i'm not incredibly well versed on joe myself, and I disagree!
    Man I want an actual ending of some sort

    Not a dude I've never seen come out and look angry and then CUT TO BLACK

    I have wildly mixed feelings about that ending, but realize that Sami's injury likely necessitated a change of plans.

    and yet they packed a lot of awesome shit into that match for as brief as it was.

    Like this part I agree with

    But I wanted something more than refs swarming Sami and checking if he is okay for like the 4th time and then Joe comes out and looks angry and then show over

    Like it was super super anticlimactic to me and my friends who watched it

    I'm fine with Sami not winning and also needing time off but that was a bummer way to end the night for me

    I was mostly upset that Drake Younger was suddenly afraid of a chair.

    YOU'VE BEATEN HIM IN A MATCH BEFORE DRAKE WHY ARE YOU COWERING IN FEAR?!?

    Yeah Owens/Joe is gonna be rad as hell

    But having him show up out of nowhere for no real reason and just get up in Kevin's face and nothing else was, as the crowd said, a bummer

    I wanted at least a quick scrap or something

    I'm not really surprised that they let him stay as Samoa Joe. Dude's 36, I doubt they're going to push him up to the main roster, and his name is big enough with people following NXT that there's more value just leaving him as is, probably.

    They needed to just ring the bell and end the match and then have Steen beat the shit out of him after the match so there seems like a reason for the refs to interfere.

    But that's small details. Samoa Joe is here and it's fucking awesome.

    i think they sort of HAD to end on a more story focused note to write off sami, especially since the excellent match beforehand allowed them to

    personally, it worked for me even without a ton of joe matches in my viewing history

    i get why it wouldn't though

    I just hope Joe VS Owens takes place in Tokyo like all traditional kaiju fights.

    I think the only consequences that would work on him would be if he was stripped of the title, honestly, like...I thought Regal was warning him that he would do so before Kevin, you know, headbutted him

    I'm pretty sure CM Punk had CM Punk merchandise that called him CM Punk even though he can still call himself CM Punk outside of the WWE.
