Of course it being Drake he takes it from the apron to the exposed concrete. CZW! CZW! I don't know. maybe I need to let it sit for a bit and give it a rewatch, but it just didn't strike me as an all time great. It was good and while the finish was a lot of ga ga it protected Black, continued the Gargano story and put heat on Ciampa it just never really grabbed me.

RandomAct Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Honestly, whenever I look back on this match, I'll always remember the crowd. It's rare for a Full Sail crowd(or any WWE crowd these days) to be so on the edge of their seat. It's like they knew the result that was coming, but were hoping like hell they could will it the other way. Some have suggested that Ciampa's "heat" is just the crowd playing along, but if they are, I'll still fucking take it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It would be nice if a smart crowd played along and just cheered faces and booed heels, instead of what they normally do. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Amen to that. Being part of the narrative in the traditional sense as opposed to clever chants or digging the cool heels is so much more enjoyable to witness and to do as a fan myself. Seems like it is getting more and more lost these days. Thank goodness for little kids and old school southern wrasslin' crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the Full Sail crowd that shouted down the handful of fans that tried to start a “Leo Kruger” chant during Adam Rose’s debut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more fun to cheer who you like and boo who you don't like, regardless of their heel/face status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but it ruins moments/matches/shows all the time. The crowds that put themselves over the performers are always more annoying than the crowds that buy into their roles as part of the show. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really doing the heels a disservice by cheering them. The ones that actually "get" wrestling don't want you to cheer for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it ruins anything. People reacting how they want to react is organic. There's nothing organic or fun about a crowd reacting as they're supposed to, as if there is a light up applause box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quackhell Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Fight! Fight! Fight! As with any entertainment/art it will be appreciated and enjoyed in a very personal way. I think we can all get behind that idea. However if I never heard "What?!!" chants or "2...Sweeeeet" again I would be very happy. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lest we forget Black also had the Velveteen Dream match that was fantastic. Not sure this is "clearly" his best match when he's had two of the best NXT matches of all-time. In terms of this year, I still say his match at Wrestlemania Takeover against Almas was better but the emotions of having such an incredibly hated guy in Ciampa has to be taken into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
