This show was fantastic and by far the best of the weekend (the MSG show could have rivalled it had it not gone on forever, and if it had all the ROH nonsense removed). It had five matches, all of which were great. Some people are calling the main event one of the greatest matches of all time, and whilst it was phenomenal and had a white hot crowd, there were certain issues I had with it, namely the fact it didn’t really need to be 2/3 falls, all the kick-outs of stuff that probably shouldn’t be kicked out of, just to get those precious pops, not to mention all of the overbooking in the third act of the match. Regardless of this, it was tremendous stuff, with a compelling story, and a super hot crowd completely invested in every step. Cole won the first fall with The Last Shot, then Gargano evened the score via submission win with Gargano Escape. After locking Cole in the stretch again, the rest of Cole’s stable ran out and interefered, but in the end, Johnny Wrestling sent them packing, a millon things were kicked out of, and Gargano finally won the vacant title with Gargano Escape. The place went crazy for the win, which is very interesting seeing as Cole was the fan favourite going in, so through pure storytelling, Gargano rallied the fans into cheering him on by the end. And not just cheering him on, having a complete emotional investment in him winning. Which is a total masterstroke. Then to excentuate the emotion, a fresh-out-of-major-neck-surgery Tomasso Ciampa came out, and he, Gargano, and Candice LaRae all embraced to end the show. This was a great moment, even if in storyline it made no real sense.

The rest of the show was tremendous also. The War Raiders defeated Black and Ricochet in an exceptional doubles clash. This was your usual TakeOver Tag Title encounter, in that there is a bunch of hot tags, it breaks down into everyone getting their shit in, finishers be damned, and the crowd goes nuts. Hey, I’m not knocking it, its just what wrestling has become in 2019 in the western world. This one featured incredible action throughout, including Rowe and the massive Hanson matching their opponents highspots, and Ricochet showing his incredible strength too, in catching Hanson on a crossbody, and hitting a fall away slam. In the end, the champions hit Ricochet with Fall Out to retain in an excellent opener. Matt Riddle challenged North American champion Velveteen Dream in the next match. This too was excellent, though I’m not paticularly sold on Dream, if I’m being honest. He looks great, and has loads of charisma, but in the ring theres just something not quite “there” yet, I don’t know. Riddle, who dominated the whole match pretty much, hit Dream with the Kota Ibushi deadlift German off the ropes spot, Dream lands and nearly dies, then Riddle, who isn’t a flyer, goes up top and hits a twisting senton, and Dream kicked at two. The finish saw Dream retain when he turned the Bromission into a cradle. Riddle teased a heel turn here, but didn’t. I’d be all for that honestly.

Next up, Pete Dunne, who’s been champion since May of 2017, defended the UK Title against everyones favourite Austrian bruiser, WALTER. This was an exceptional, hard-hitting war, which was the second best of the night. WALTER’s offense is so believable, and Dunne too was tremendous here, even if I could have done without a random kick-out of a top rope sleeper suplex, which should have killed him. After eating numerous monsterous chops, the Bruiserweight hit his Bitter End finish for a great near fall. The Ring General rocked the champ with a big boot, hit a terrifying top rope powerbomb, then dethroned the unbeatable champion with a big splash. This was a tremndous bout. The womens match had a tough time following this, but still produced a great, all-action encounter, which saw Baszler retain via rear naked choke induced submission over BelAir. Then it was main event time, and as written above, it was fantastic from an atmosphere standpoint. All in all, one of the best WWE related shows I’ve ever seen, and I highly recommend you check it out if you haven’t.

With how the War Raiders blue balled him Dunn’s gonna be rabid enough to bite through the cage when it’s finally his turn.
