First kickout of Kinshasa right?

If it's anything like the Boma Ye then everyone tends to kick out of the sliding and jumping variations, but nearly no one kicks out of the full wind-up running one.

 

[Kusagari]

Yeah, his jaw is fucked

 

[Entropia]

Nakamura wins!!!!

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

....poor kenta lmao

 

[ramoisdead]

Is Joe selling or did he legit get his mouth fucked up?

Ref threw up the X in the ring and out the ring.

It's legit.

 

[Brinbe]

He really kicked Joe's face in... Just sets things up even more for the rematch

 

[somedevil]

....poor kenta lmao

He was going to win the title at one point until his shoulder died.

 

[serenewarfare]

That feel when Boma Ye is the only protected move in the business.

First match in the upper roster, someone will kick out of it.

Oh shit, hope Joe's ok.

Edit: Missed that first kick out, no respect these days.

There's a few moves that haven't been kicked out of in WWE. Neville's Red Arrow for example.

 

[Hasney]

Goddamn, props to Joe for taking the finish full on if his jaw was already fucked.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Awwwww rats, I was really behind Joey Samoey for this one.

Send him straight up to the main event on the main roster, have him crush Dean"oodles of noodles" Ambrose or something.

Actually have Dog Ziggles somehow win tomorrow only for Joe to stomp in on smackdown and squash him in like 15 seconds for the title, yeeeessss, that will be lovely.

 

[Couleurs]

He really kicked Joe's face in... Just sets things up even more for the rematch

Joe's mouth is wired shut for months; returns as a cruiserweight

 

[ghostmind]

How Nak is not legit fucked up after that match, I do not know. That was brutal.

 

[Rhaknar]

He really kicked Joe's face in... Just sets things up even more for the rematch

Nak's finisher always looks like he legits strikes them, even back in NJPW, it always kinda baffled me.

 

[Jimmy King]

Noelle Foley counting to 3 with all the enthusiasm you'd expect of someone who could only get a reality show on the WWE Network.

 

[sora87]

Yup, that sure was a Nakamura match, both beat the shit out of each other and then some

 

[TimeEffect]

Shit. Hope Joe's good. Nakamura has to tone it down if not lol

 

[galvatron]

Wow! Didn't think Joe would lose

You missed how Joe got the budget entrance, then...

 

[The Main Event]

SummerSlam aka nap time tomorrow

 

[Hex]

Joe's mouth is wired shut for months; returns as a cruiserweight

I laughed so hard at this I feel so dirty

 

[Ithil]

They're looking for that Nakamura/Asuka champions photoshoot.

 

[Roberto Duran]

Joe's a tough motherfucker. Awesome match though

 

[imBask]

so, does that mean we have to start complaining about Nakamura being a "dangerous worker" now or is this hypocrisy only valid for Seth Rollins?

 

[Hasney]

You missed how Joe got the budget entrance, then...

Everyone who got the fancy entrance at WM lost.

 

[Fantomex]

If you guys replay it, look at how Joe lands from taking that suplex. He seemed to fall a bit stiff on his neck

 

[truly101]

So Cein/Roode was the only meh match. I don't think anyone had any expectations for Ember Moon/Billie Kaye and it wasn't terrible.

 

[Adree]

Either way, excellent show. They should start doing Summerslam on Saturday and let the Takeovers be the main event.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Joe's mouth is wired shut for months; returns as a cruiserweight

I lol'd

 

[Zach]

Time for Joe to go record his cover of "Through the Wire".

 

[Bluekaveli]

But after Thursday's episode of TNA, where you think he's going.




Another meh ending. Great match, PPV. Zach how you grade this?

Work

 

[Shadow Broker]

Joe's mouth is wired shut for months; returns as a cruiserweight

Fuck dude. I was drinking something when I read this. Now I have to clean up.

 

[Syder]

I feel sorry for anyone that chose UFC 202 over this.

 

[serenewarfare]

Either way, excellent show. They should start doing Summerslam on Saturday and let the Takeovers be the main event.

Eh, Summerslam has a pretty good card. It'll be a good show more than likely.

 

[Aeternus Malum]

Summerslam was truly amazing this year. Looking forward to RAW tomorrow.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

I wonder if Summerslam weekend will keep being NXTs wrestlemania?

 

[broz0rs]

I feel sorry for anyone that chose UFC 202 over this.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I feel sorry for anyone that chose UFC 202 over this.

Main event not on yet, right?

 

[Rhaknar]

I just watched Takeover. Now I will watch (the rest of) UFC 202.

At work.

My job is alright sometimes :3

 

[ghostmind]

Summerslam was truly amazing this year. Looking forward to RAW tomorrow.

Lol

 

[Cheat Code]

It was alright.

Certainly not the best Takeover.

 

[dream]

You missed how Joe got the budget entrance, then...

I thought that too initially. But then I realized that while Nakamura has a badass violinist playing a badass entrance for him, this is just another match for Joe, which makes Joe's entrance the most subtly badass entrance ever if you put it in context.

 

[ratcliffja]

My wife is making Nakamura's theme her ringtone and she always teases me for liking wrestling.

 

[Tall4Life]

Show was real good altogether. I thought Nak/Joe was actually one of the weaker matches of the night.... still like, 3.75/5. The match until the near end was just not terribly exciting. Revival/Garchomp was MOTN.

 

[Adree]

Eh, Summerslam has a pretty good card. It'll be a good show more than likely.

Yeah, it will. If they removed all the dud matches the cards would be pretty much equal.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

My wife is making Nakamura's theme her ringtone and she always teases me for liking wrestling.

It's so good. Roodes music is the catchiest but Naks is the best by far.

 

[Surge]

This show was the reason I subbed to the Network again.

I guess I'll watch that other show tomorrow night.

 

[Syder]

Main event not on yet, right?

Perry v Hyun Gyu Lim about to start. Still 3 matches left til McGregor/Diaz.

 

[dream]

Also, let's not freak out about Joe. A broken jaw is a fair price to pay for a match that believably fantastic. I'm sure he'll hate drinking Boosts for the next 3 months, but knowing Joe as I do--and I do know Joe well--I bet he feels like it was worth it.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

I thought that too initially. But then I realized that while Nakamura has a badass violinist playing a badass entrance for him, this is just another match for Joe, which makes Joe's entrance the most subtly badass entrance ever if you put it in context.

Yeah, Joe does a really good job of being a badass without doing a lot of chest-puffing.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I very much like how Joe controlled the entire match then Nak took advantage when he slipped on his ass. Joe's extended stay in TNA is such a dark mark on his career given that he's been a consistently amazing performer and has actually been treated like one in the promotions he's been working with outside of it.

It's so good. Roodes music is the catchiest but Naks is the best by far.

Roooooo's music is a shitty meme.

 

[Morfeo]

Sucks that he gets injured now that he is finally going up Hope its not serious.
