I still really like Apollo Crews, he's never going to a main event guy but I hope this is the start of them doing just a bit more with him.

The card this year looks amazing, even the three way tags look like they should be at least decent. With the exception of Cody/Juice, every singles match on the show has the potential to be MotN.

I can only think of a couple of things...

205 Live had some of the best matches you'll have seen (or not) this year.

Ah yes, that's annoying as shit.

What’s the issue here? Rope breaks still count in no DQ matches because the person touching the ropes has broken the the pinfall as they’re now technically ‘out of bounds” and the same would apply for submissions. Of course because of the no DQ stipulation the wrestler applying the move doesn’t have the break the hold as he can’t be disqualified but that doesn’t mean the ref still has to count the fall. Now if the issue was rope breaks in falls count anywhere matches then you might have a compelling case. Theres still the issue of a complete lack of consistency as to how and when these rules are implemented and enforced so if that’s what you meant then I’m with you 100%!

It’s great to see Mustafa Ali vs Hideo Itami on the list, for me personally it was probably the best non-ppv match of the year. I can’t see it making any other lists as so few watch 205 but at least it got a mention.

Nah. The ref gets bumped by Corbin, Braun hits his finish and then out runs Slater to count the three. At least that’s what SHOULD happen or I’ve lost all faith in WWE.

It might sound a tad over-dramatic but honestly that was the worst episode of Raw that I can ever remember watching. What a load of boring wank. The only positive was seeing Seth actually win with the Superplex/Falcon Arrow combo for probably the first time ever. He's learning.

To be fair to Undisputed Era they were all just as great before they arrived in NXT, the only thing "massively improved" about them is their ability to work WWE style. That's not to say that there's no room for improvement of course (and I'm sure they'll continue to improve) but I think too often people are quick to associate not being adept at the WWE way of doing things and there being a time of adjustment with simply being shit or lacking before they came to WWE.

Even though I’m a fan of both guys I found Gargano/Black to be severely underwhelming, like I really did appreciate the effort and all but nothing about that match clicked with me. I’m not one to be harping on about psychology and storytelling because I love a good spot fest as much as anything but I’m struggling to even say it was that. Other than that I loved everything else on the show, Takeovers never fail to deliver.

Not only did Becky look like the most badass wrestler in the company but she did it all whilst wearing one of those god awful Smackdown shirts. She really is untouchable!
