Godfrey Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Santos Escobar rules. Other stuff ruled on this show but I wanted to specifically say that Santos Escobar rules. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Sasha has her bumping shoes on. You can tell she loved every second of that match. I can totally see them doing an Io/Sasha match if they're trying to counter-program Fyter Fest which it totally seems like. Santos did look pretty awesome and that table spot looked pretty nasty. First hour was a big slow, but the show definitely picked up the second hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Moose Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Tuned in about halfway through - Sasha really was working for four, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MavsFan77 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) I think whatever they go with for a Main Event on 7/8 is better than the Fyter Fest main event. I’d much rather see two of the three options vs Cole than Moxley vs Boring Cage Edited June 18, 2020 by MavsFan77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Santos cut a heck of a promo. Poor Drake. It looked like he completely missed the table during the Phantom Driver spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Santos Escobar is awesome. That was a good promo, and his team carries themselves well with their look and attitude. Curious where they go with Dream and Lumis. Lumis wanting a team is interesting. If Lee isn't double champ by the end of July then they are truly moronic barring some sort of injury or incident screwing things up. This is something that really should have happened 3-5 months ago, but I will take what I can get if Lee finally becomes double champ. Reed/Kross for next should be fun. I dug Reed picking up his squash victim to help him to the back. Its a little thing but neat in terms of a good sport. Kayden/Dakota was nice while it lasted. Its good to see them moving forward in the Robert Brand/Aliyah story. The lack of Chelsea anywhere though just feels odd after she fired him. Io attacking Sasha and Bayley post match was neat. They better not have teased that for no reason. I'm going to be disappointed if we don't get Io vs. both in singles. This show was weirdly angle heavy. Only the tag titles matches got solid time. Thought both of those were solid-good. Only wish the main event had actual build to it beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Santos Escobar's promo was hot fire. I think this is what we wanted from the Alberto Del Rio gimmick. Dakota Kai's execution of the elevated gutbuster as a finisher left a little to be desired, but the arm trap / neck crank submission she used last night was pretty fucking sweet. Now she just needs to tool her spots to set up the psychology for her finisher. Kross needs to go ahead and kill Cole and take his belt as soon as possible so I can get my champ vs. champ kaiju big battle between Lee and Kross. I feel that they will put Keith's strap on Gargano before Keith challenges Kross. Drunken Robert Stone is the best. It is like that period of DDP's career where he was working the bankrupt and homeless gimmick. Edited June 18, 2020 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like that period of DDP's career where he was working the bankrupt and homeless gimmick. Based on last night the theory of Keith losing his belt to Gargano then challenging Kross after Kross beats Cole doesn’t work. Unless Gargano wins the 3-Way then loses to Cole (thus giving Cole both belts). I could see a world in which Keith wins next week, beats Cole, then gets cheated out of the North American title before the next Takeover where he’d then defend the NXT title vs Kross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
