Wyld Samurai Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The chain spot was a big gaffe that didnt make sense to the finish in the Dusty Finals. I loved the Tag Championship.. The Revival is the best tag team ive ever seen. bar none. They're already out doing anything The Horsemen ever did in the ring. I do have a probkem with that Championship belt spot. Gargano wears shinguards. no way did he mess his shin up. plus, if he kicked that into Dawson's face (which is why he was bleeding), it would have hurt Dawson a hell of a lot more than a padded Johnny Wrestling. Mickie James is amazing and i want her back. she makes you reakize how unready everyone not named Asuka really is. that goes for 90% of the girls on the main roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Awesome show. Fucking great. And the chain thing worked as I got to yell "There's a lucky fan" as I watched them just go on and finish a great match. I hated TM61 before tonight and now I dig 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I really do hope that TM61 gained alot of face credibility tonight with the universe...they did a pretty amazing job tonight with AOP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I am still trying to decide if they just wanted to make Asuka more of a heel or if they were actually teasing a rematch with the whole not do the handshake deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The opener wasn't bad, but no matter how many bells and whistles they give Roode's entrance he's still going to do absolutely nothing for me in the ring. Good for Dillenger for getting himself over the way he has, but he's someone else I don't see anything beyond solid mid-card hand. Crowd was really hot for them, so there's that. Is there any word on whether or not this was a one-off for Mickie or if she's going to do come back semi-regularly? It would be nice to see more of her as she looked great in the match and her experience would be good to share with the newer girls. Hasn't Asuka pretty much shifted between face/heel based on who she's wrestling anyways? The Dusty Cup finals were decent but I thought the end was a bit flat. AOP aren't the type that should be cheating or relying on their manager and have yet to really be outmatched by any opponents so it felt really uncharacteristic. This was the best I've seen TM61 look so far and the story of them using their speed and tenacity to overcome their opponents' brute strength worked well here. Not more to be said about the tag titles match as it was nothing short of brilliant. The storytelling was impeccable and the trademark of really great instances of overcoming the odds is that even though the heels have every base covered, the face team are looking at certain defeat and leaves the audience to believe the hero is going to come up short once again but somehow they find a way to pull it off in the end. It's a really basic story but was told masterfully here. I genuinely thought several times that DIY were going to lose yet again only for them to find a way to come out on top. If Revival are getting called up then I hope they go to Smackdown and are able to resume their feud with American Alpha. Story - AA are the sole survivors at SS and get a title shot Tuesday on Smackdown. They win the belts and are promptly attacked by the debuting Revival and the rest writes itself. The main event was solid, though I'm not sure how I feel about Joe winning the title back. I honestly expected this to be his NXT swansong as he really needs the callup sooner rather than later, but we'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 DIY just doesn't do anything for me. The Revival, however, is amazing. I loved at the end where Dawson was keeping Dash from tapping out but then he tapped out himself. Was good stuff. Bobby Roode's entrance is everything good about the business. I enjoyed the women's match and how credible Mickie James looked while making Asuka look like a killer. Main event was awesome. Joe and Nak will lay it in on you.

turk128 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Dawson is clutch on so many levels. In an easy MOTY contender; he was the constant, he was the workhorse, he was phenomenal. Mickey freakin James stepped the fuck up! (She should take up a role as the mentor of a group of up and coming gals, then slowly have it get to her head, then say.... DelRey step in to stop her.) Samoa Joe bled for his win. He sells that ass kicking brute persona so damn well. TM61 shined and actually seem to be developing some personality. (Kinda reminds me of the younger Hardys.)

Ultimo Necro Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The whole match was fantastic, but the second fall stretch could be a MOTYC contender on its own. Just outstanding. Dash's chopblock towards the end was absolutely vicious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Dawson gets a lot of love, but Dash is a studly stud in his own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just how amazingly slick Revival's tag work is with how quick and smooth then tag in and out should be used as a standard tag workers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I hope this wasn't a one-off return for Mickie James. I want to see her and Asuka go at it again. Survivor Series has a really tall task ahead of itself topping Takeover:Toronto. What an awesome show! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards it being a heel turn. She was a baby face but now she's been getting more and more arrogant as the champ. No one can stop her and now she's just sticking it in people's faces. I would be fine with them doing another run with Mickie because I'm not sure what the build is for her as we all assume she's on hold until they get Ember built up.

ChesterCopperpot Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The announcer said both guys in the main event where the challenger as well. Haven't rewatched the main event yet - could the Benoit chant be heard when Joe put Nakamura in the crossface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'd be interesting to know who the agent was that put the tag match together. So much attention to the small details that made that much so great and something sorely lacking in wrestling nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Going off the work of The Revival over the last 2 years i would say Dawson probably put it together. The Revival is the one constant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear it. There were a couple of times the audio suddenly muted on the broadcast so that could have been a reason. The one chant that made me shake my head (and it was literally just one guy but he happened to be right next to the mic) was the "Trish's lover" at Mickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 When Joe had the cross face locked on i thought I heard a faint Benoit chant but it ended quickly so I wasn't certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
