The storytelling with Cross at the table staring at Asuka was perfect. Sets up the obvious rematch since Asuka technically didn't beat her but she also has to go through the other two as well. Good story potential.

I think it's totally possible Dillinger is in the Rumble. His whole story has been that he can't seem to put it together, so a storyline of him entering the Rumble, doing really well, then getting signed by Shane or Bryan would work with what he's done so far.

Disagree. It had everything. Selling. A finisher that meant something, that you jad to avoid not just kick out. Incredible storytelling and a fantastic finish
The main event was disappointing or the whole event?
Because this event was supposed to be shit and it definitely wasn't shit
I do wonder why Vince so strongly prefers Raw to Smackdown. One would think it would be in his best interest to make both of his products as strong as possible.
But then, I don't understand anything about how Vince runs the WWE.

That guy had one job. No wonder he was given the L to hold.
It's his "primetime" show, so he will always view it as the A show.

PG era over

He will be freed after wrestlemania and go to Raw, then say "where is AJ" and then go to Smackdown

He gave it to Nakamura.
Main event, At a time I consider nak to be the best wrestler in the world but while the match was great it isn't the same nak I fell in love with.

This was definitely not a standard match lol.
Honest question if that was ho hum to you... why still watch? Like clearly I feel like, and no offense, nothing is going to satisfy you if all that match can do is make you go meh.

My prediction for Nak, two months completely off, no Roode rematch, just straight to Raw After Mania.

Bryan's going to hire Nakamura to kill the Miz at Mania. I assume that feud is still going, or is Bryan done with Talking Smack.
At this point with NXT, I am actually just about done unless the next event has Hero in it then I'll be curious to see how he translates. But I am at the point where I will probably stop watching them. I have cut back on watching WWE dramatically, but I'll still see Royal Rumble and Survivor Series because they're sentimental favorites. I stuck with NXT because they still used to put on some of the most reliably excellent cards. Either I've changed or the events have gotten worse. Regardless, I am just about done.
There is plenty of wrestling that does satisfy me, but NXT isn't even doing it for me much which bums me out. Contrary to some opinions, it's not about being miserable or contrarian or whatever else. It's just a different way of looking at wrestling.
They're green big guys with decent athletic backgrounds. Right now they depend on their opponent but they can be good in the future.

I can see Nikki vs Ember vs Asuka for the next Takeover. They've teased the Nikki-Asuka match too much and Ember Moon badly needs to be in the title scene.
Damn, my voice is going to hoarse in the morning. Had a lot of fun in the Freeman, loved the crowd energy as well.
I was surprised I liked just about every match on the card. For sure thought there was going to be a couple bores at the start.
Now it's time to recharge & prep for the Alamodome.

You know what happened to the L? Nakamura took it. HEEEEYOOOOO!!!!!
On a different note, why the hell do they do this Triple H interview on Facebook where its horribly compressed and constantly buffering, instead of just playing it on the Network?

HHH says Nakamura has a dislocated kneecap on Facebook. This is obviously 100% true.

Can we talk about those DDTs tho.
What you're insinuating is positively scandalous

I think the Nakamura injury was done to the degree that it was specifically so that people don't speculate about him in the Rumble.
Also this happened tonight:

Yup, was everything I could've asked for lol. That and the pop for Seth was craaaazy.
They looked so damn good. Nakamura really got up for them.

I for one am disgusted that a true southern gentleman like JBL would be into this European nonsense like rugby.

They would have run out of reasons for Joe to get title matches.

Well...
that tag team match alone might just bring me back to wrestling for a bit(since Rock's return).
That was enjoyable as heck.

Great show but did they really need to have Rollins/HHH angle be a part of this show....??
It took me completely out of it esp. when Phillips and Graves were continuing to talk about it when the women's 4-way was about to begin.
Just keep the products separate...beyond that I really enjoyed it. Almas is so much better as a heel, hopefully he continues to mold that character and Roddy is Roddy...should be next up for Roode IMO. The tag match was better than I expected, was waiting for Ciampa to turn on Gargano post match, was surprised when it didn't happen.

Seth has been teasing that he will search for Hunter and he wants the match. HHH saying "careful what you wish for..." and screwing Seth of the Rumble. It makes sense that Seth is looking for HHH on his "Safe Heaven".
That's a money main event feud waiting to happen, they won't blow it just like that
