Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 25, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2019 My issue with the Wargames matches are that they have already had to do some of their spots whilst waiting for the actual match to start. So anything that happens before the last man enters I’d redundant. If it was elimination before, it means there could be an unevenness which would at least be more interesting
Philjax Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Kinda unusual they would show Britt Baker on camera and acknowledge her no?

Think it's more of a weird superiority complex thing than any other aspect, to be honest. Even moreso considering they acknowledged her by name. "Look at that! A wrestler from OUR RIVAL COMPANY coming to see how REAL sports entertainment should look like!"

On one such occasion, my mates brought in a copy of Smackdown vs. Raw and had a Triple Threat match that went on for so long, each guy constantly breaking up the pin attempts, that it lasted practically the whole of the English lesson and everyone else was furious they didn't get a go. SmackDown vs Raw, are you sure? I thought you were the same age as all the other proper members (mid-thirties to early forties).
Magnum Milano Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Just now, Philjax said: Kinda unusual they would show Britt Baker on camera and acknowledge her no? HHH addressed it in his post-show Press Conference. According to him it was nothing more than a strange coincidence as the director in the truck told the cameraman to get a shot of someone looking shocked in the crowd and he ended up focusing on Britt. Ranallo was then told to address who she was so things didn't look funny with them doing that and not acknowledging her.
Paid Members Supremo Posted November 25, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2019 It was just nice to have Britt featured without it being mentioned that she's a dentist.
Paid Members Nick James Posted November 25, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2019 Why was she sat in the crowd anyway if she didn’t want to be spotted? She’s good friends with a lot of the NXT talent so surely it would have been possible to watch backstage? Seems either a bit petty from NXT to show her on camera or a bit sloppy from her to be in a position to be spotted in the crowd the rival promotion. Supporting a partner or not.

Mauro's commentary is like pulling teeth and they didn't want to infringe on his gimmick.

She’s been there before and shown on camera. It seems the only people that care are fans that want to make a big deal out of something so trivial.
AndyUK Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Thought the two War Games matches were outstanding. Everything NXT has been involved in recently has made for a much better product.
Loki Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Rhea Ripley had a standout week really, didn't she? She and Keith Lee have broken through as legit stars now. In fact, that's my takeaway from the whole last couple of weeks. NXT has legitimately broken through as a proper third brand, its stars are treated on a par with those on the other shows. In fact, you could argue it has the hottest roster in WWE right now. The presentation of the NXT wrestlers was so much cooler than the other brands, generally. And Survivor series, being a 3 way thing, now has that frisson that they always wanted, where the clash of stars from different brands feels really exciting. They need to now keep everyone separate again until at least the Rumble.

I choose to believe this is all subtle set up for a big guest appearance at the next AEW PPV, when they get Steve Martin out to do her theme tune.

Knowing WWE, The Royal Rumble will probably have a NXT rumble on the show now, and Wrestlemania will have the three NXT titles defended.
