Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I can't wait for the moment when everyone is brawling in one ring and Adam Cole is by himself in the other, which gives him the opportunity to give us an ADAM COLE BAY-BAY! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Those promos are dope. Very 1980s NWA. I'm excited to see the AOP toss Kevin O'Reilly's dumb face into the cage. Also, I'm predicting Alexander Wolff to steal the show. He was nuts in their last big match. Hoping we also get some sort of "THE CAGE IS OPEN!" segment for Nikki to sneak in for an added numbers advantage. The Undisputed guys are still corny as hell, but I do enjoy Adam Cole fleeing at the first sign of danger. The best feud on the show is Black vs. Dream. I'm all in on Velveteen Dream. He's still green and can use a bunch of long matches with a guy who knows what he's doing like Black. But Velveteen Dream's going to hold a title at some point in time.

mattdangerously Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I think Dream is nailing the outside of the ring character stuff, but I feel like there's still something missing from the overall package. The presentation could be a little more flamboyant, and he could do a little more to incorporate the gimmick into his matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dokdoyle Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Being a fan, you gotta think Roddy is getting a kick out of being managed by Ellering, even if it's only for 1 match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Dream has a lot of potential and his character work in this feud has been top notch so far, however they've done little to present him as a legitimate in-ring threat to Black. I think it will be a good match and will hopefully show that Dream can hang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Velveteen Dream could benefit from studying early Goldust. If what you do in the ring doesn't match your character, the whole gimmick is wasted. Right now, he's probably even lagging behind Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea, which was basically the same gimmick. I'm not digging the War Games rules at all, but I can't wait to see how the undercard matches utilize the 2-ring setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm hearing a lot of "he should be gayer," which seems like something they have deliberately (and thankfully) played down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS. Prince Iaukea, really? I mean, that guy never got past his "high school drama student halfheartedly playing a fabulous character because he's really no homo." He was clearly not comfortable with the gimmick. Dream is in new territory by himself, he's seriously channeling some funky Prince vibes through the lenses of Last Dragon. He's meta about how he uses his character too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Does Ellering go on the road with AOP or does he just show up to the tapings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 He did L.A., but they did tape that match for the Dusty tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still calling a Roderick turn. I'd rather they introduce Dijak later and explain who he is since he's not as known as the other ROH alums. A Dijak run-in isn't going to create the same buzz as ReDRagon or Adam Cole BAY-BAY. I like Dijak, but he just isn't at that level yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think if they wait, they could do really well with a Gargano vs Roddy feud at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 It most likely is part of the TV Taping they do prior to the show since they usually tape a week's worth of TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 According to Conrad Thompson, the War Games cage will NOT have a roof. WEAK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I'm cold on Dream. A Prince gimmick in 2017 is just so cringe. I guess I'm just having TAFKAPI WCW vibes but it just seems like the type of gimmick that would come out on SD, everyone will laugh and then you'll never see it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turk128 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 After this week's NXT, I think I understand why they are not putting a roof on the cage (besides logistics); a lot more high flying moves. I remember just how freakin low the original War Games cages were, like the guys could barely hop without hitting the roof. Finn isn't there to Mario the roof so why bother.

dokdoyle Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 So, could it be that the reason they are doing War Games on NXT is so they can get some HD footage to use for when they do it on the main roster? maybe then they add a roof to it to make it "War in Hell" or something like that.

mattdangerously Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That's an interesting theory, but I think it's more likely that HHH finally realized he doesn't need to ask Vince's permission to run the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My completely shot in the dark guess is someone like Vince or Dunn thought having a roof would be too much like Hell in a Cell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
