RIPPA Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The more I think about it - and god I can't believe I am going to say this - I would have liked that match a lot more if it was Roderick Strong instead of Adam Cole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valcourt Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Just a good old fashioned stomp to the throat. (Wish they didn’t do that cut) I loved that Walter and Dunne was different than the other matches. Much more hurty.

For Great Justice Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I do hope that we reached some kind of apex on this match style with tonight’s main event, and based on the divided online reaction maybe we have. I just don’t know if it’s a local or global maximum. Warrior could have given Gargano the WM7 finish tonight and gotten a 2.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 It's also clear that Shawn will only work with you if you are able to do a superkick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Edit: What I meant -- if you didn't Gargano/Cole, then you won't like most TakeOver main events as that seems to be the way they are molded.

Zac_Fu Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Overall, I thought it was a great show. But then I try to look at it from both the jaded grump I am at times, and the part of me that still thinks wrestling is the greatest thing in the world. I can see other sides here. Making Shayna the female Brock is doing no one in the women's division any favors. At this point they're gonna have to import Rhea, Jazzy (once she's up and running) or sic the ladies in the crowd tonight on her to even convey she can be beaten. It sure as hell won't be Kairi or Io that does it. To be honest, my favorite part was seeing a friend of mine in the Raider's entrance, and yeah, seeing a guy that called into the podcast that J.H. and I used to be on a few times win the NXT strap was cool. I've seen Gargano come up through both Cleveland promotions and it's heartwarming as hell to see him succeed. So yeah, I'm a bit biased there. Tonight was the first time I've been able to see Walter, and all I could think was "Damn, that kid from Durmstrang got on the gas after that Trwizard tournament." That lame joke dropped, I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Does anyone know how Harper did last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This maybe a hot take, but to me that's just as bad as folks blatantly slapping their thighs during strikes which seems to be an unfortunate massive modern trend.

The Natural Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Looked on Wikipedia and the tag team match went 31 minutes, needed shortening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move always enjoyed Coles work and felt he kept up with gargono at this stage. When he has to play the over the top heel telling the good guy it isn’t his day, he loses me a bit, but overall I think he does a great job. The thing with Gargano/Almas was it was always fast paced but never felt like they were going through a preset practiced routine. In that Cole/Gargano match, that exchange to the Double Superkick? That to me basically felt like the WWE drama style main event folding in on itself and being destroyed from within. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The tag match was a blast. Wouldn't be surprised if both Black and Ricochet are banged up, they seemed to take some nasty bumps throughout. Velveteen Dream didn't disappoint with his entrance. Liked how Riddle leaned into being the heel. Another fun match. Dunne-Walter was like watching a grizzly bear maul one of its cubs. The neck stomp was NASTY. The first three matches were a breeze to watch, very enjoyable. Women's 4-way was good for what it was and the time it was given. But it feels they're going the way of Asuka with Shayna. They're going to have her kick around the rest of the division until no one cares. The only options are Io 1 vs 1 and Candice, which is how I think they're going. Bianca is the new Ember (not a good thing). Gargano-Cole was great in the finish. But getting there was a bit much. Cole does nothing for me. It was Gargano's time and he got his happy ending, so for that. Very good show. Loved the first 60%, the final 40% was a mixed bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Yeah considering the main went 38 - the tag wasn’t close to that. I am assuming whoever put it in meant 21. In fact they actual had to fill time with the post match because supposedly they went home 3 minutes early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
