tonight's rampage was really enjoyable. i am happy that the show is developing a bit of its own identity. honestly if they stay on this trajectory then i might actually prefer rampage to dynamite soon enough
i like that it's become The Place for Keith Lee, Hook, Hobbs, and a few others I really like
i still think they need to do something about Jericho and Taz screaming over each other but if they can work that out then it's a really great show in the making
Opener of Lince Dorado vs Diego Hill is good as hell, then the match between Delinquents vs. Skylar Mack & Yoscifer El is........a match, and the main of Lucky Ali vs. Andrew Everett is also pretty great
All of the multi-participant matches were really solid this afternoon. Brutus Creed's cannonball might be one of the damndest things I've seen in a while.
Ziggler sold that spear like his soul was being ejected.
EDIT: That match was somewhat tainted by Chekhov's Turnbuckle.
Solid show overall. Maybe not quite up to the indie-tastic heights of past TakeOvers but a lot of potential in the young talent, which is the point of 2.0.

In general NXT 2.0 has been plagued by WWE booking where all psychology is thrown out of the window in favor of whatever the fuck happens in the last minute of the match. Maybe it's a lifebar emptying foreign object, maybe it's somebody's music hitting or the person on commentary distracting somebody for a rollup. Disregard everything that happens the first 90% of the match. It's ironic because it basically makes matches that do have psychology and storytelling basically a spotfest.

Foreign objects have functioned that way for a long time. Before chairshots to the head were banned that was as reliable a finisher as you could find anywhere.
I dont watch WWE aside from typically the Rumble and Mania
jesus man, Im glad people are having fun but these do nothing for me.
I'm watching out of curiosity about Cody but if it isn't in the next two matches I'm going bed. I just looked at the saturday card and it's just a bunch of worthless tag matches with no stakes, and both women's title matches are on the same night for some reason.
With the sword? It just makes him look goofy. He isn't going to murder someone with the sword, him just carrying it about still takes away his legitimacy.

So cool to see Joe in an RoH ring again.

Probably would have been more but Boogs got hurt so things got changed. More time for another match I guess.

Yeah that looked bad. Hopefully he just tweaked it or something.

Both involved Rikishi's kids, IIRC.

good chance they are going long if Boogs was hurt?

EDIT: Cody not Corbin ffs
