Ilja Dragunov Vs Walter - NXT Takeover 36
Added 2024-06-11 23:16:14 +0000 UTCI see what you guys meant. This was definitely the stronger match between the two, but I'm very glad I got the context of the first match.

This was black and gold with US announcers because it was in the US. I may prefer the other match action wise but this one has the story, the crowd, and the feel good ending. As far as name changes, Vince would go wild with that stuff, especially with regards to copyright. I believe Walter’s real name is Walter so they had to change it. Kaiser and Vinci were also victims of name changes, as they were known as Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner (their real names). The real annoying ones were when Vince was shortening names. Austin Theory became Theory. Matt Riddle became Riddle. Thankfully Triple H brought their first names back, lol.

2024-06-12 18:58:26 +0000 UTCWe gotta get some more UK Title matches suggested! The inaugural tournament final, Pete & Tyler @ Takeover Chicago, Tyler/Walter, Tyler/Ilja, What I'm saying is we need some Tyler Bate matches 😂😂

2024-06-12 18:08:00 +0000 UTCDo they still have old progress shows on the network or no
Charlie
2024-06-12 18:04:08 +0000 UTCWhat that promo video didn’t really get across very well is that in the matches after Iljas first with Walter, he’d go into a rage if someone chopped him. That’s why they held off the chops in this one so when Walter did chop him it meant something.

2024-06-12 15:29:01 +0000 UTCOr Dunne vs Walter from Takeover New York. That was the match that made me a fan of Walter. I went back and rewatched it within the last year and it’s still just as good as it was in 2019.

2024-06-12 15:22:12 +0000 UTCJumping from platforms of only a few feet has caused 2 MAJOR "company needing to change directions" issues, very ironic considering Sting jumped off platform after platform at his age all the time and never got badly hurt and yet Punk and Cole jump 2 feet and things go drastically wrong.

2024-06-12 12:34:18 +0000 UTCBy fans these two Walter vs Ilja matches are the first and third highest rated matches in company HISTORY. Such a "outsider" style that both love and are perfect in doing. There is a reason people want these two to be linked for the rest of their careers. Not many WWE matches get that "This is art" reaction from me but these two are masters of it.

2024-06-12 12:26:07 +0000 UTCI liked hearing your comment about noticing them calling spots during the match. I'm a person who loves deepdiving into the behind the scenes aspects of stuff I love so noticing stuff like that is always fun to me. Nice to see someone who agrees with me on that point.

2024-06-12 09:32:45 +0000 UTCFor sure. At some point I'd like to do a theme for a week or two that is just straight up documentary style videos that get sent in.

2024-06-12 09:01:45 +0000 UTCWould you react to any of the Dark Side of the Ring stories on Vice? Right now they are doing the "Who killed WCW" story if your interested in that to see how the hottest period in wrestling started then died (WCW) off. The Monday Night Wars were appointment TV.

2024-06-12 08:57:18 +0000 UTCGotcha! So suggestions would be 2 matches each then.
Dport
2024-06-12 05:01:09 +0000 UTCIt means when 2 wrestlers have multiple matches, like Gunther 2 we recently watched. Same two wrestlers but multiple matches. You already did Undertaker/HBC & Undertaker/HHH also. It is long term storytelling. Make sense?

2024-06-12 04:54:53 +0000 UTCMiz's promo on Daniel Bryan is one of my favorite promos, it's so good

2024-06-12 04:47:45 +0000 UTCFuture watch along idea that I just thought about: classic promos. Maybe between the match watch alongs cuz they tend to be shorter. But you can theme those as well and they're fun to look back on. Funny ones like Macho Man's cream of the crop or Austin's Royal Rumble promo or Steiner Math, serious ones like CM Punks pipe bomb or Miz's rant on Daniel Bryan, or MJF talking to William Regal. Or even classic segments like Mankind and Rock's this is your life, or Jericho n KOs festival of friendship or even The Usos n New Day's rap battle. Some context might be necessary, but could be fun for shorter watch along style videos.

2024-06-12 03:59:15 +0000 UTCWhat would that mean exactly
Dport
2024-06-12 03:58:02 +0000 UTCFor a theme week, how about progressive matches between 2 wrestlers?
Karen
2024-06-12 03:46:21 +0000 UTCI would love that

2024-06-12 01:13:28 +0000 UTCAbout your name change comment, Pete Dunne's is a little different because that was his original name before he became Butch. Please someone recommend Dunne vs Bate @ NXT Takeover Chicago 🔥

2024-06-12 00:44:23 +0000 UTCAm i the only one who wants to see Ilja vs Tyler Bate? If this match has happened before someone lmk
Cameron Miles
2024-06-12 00:42:31 +0000 UTCWild man 🔥😂

2024-06-12 00:19:32 +0000 UTCi remember when this happened i thought it was part of the story because they did and angle the year prior where Jeff Hardy got hit with his pyro because someone messed with it. Looking back i don't know what i was thinking because if you watch a replay of the match you can clearly see Taker is burned pretty bad
Drew Or Die
2024-06-12 00:17:48 +0000 UTCUndertaker in 2010 got burned by his pyro. Before this he had been warning the guy they were getting too close to him. The guy was told to leave the building and fired lol

2024-06-11 23:48:20 +0000 UTCTo answer one of your questions people have hurt themselves during there entrance before. Current AEW wrestler Adam Cole has been out of action for months now after jumping of the entrance ramp instead of taking the stairs and broke his ankle. It was a very short drop only a few feet but it was enough o injure him pretty badly
Drew Or Die
2024-06-11 23:40:36 +0000 UTCI thought of a cool poll idea you could do in the future if you haven’t already planned it. You could do a NXT only poll with just NXT matches on it!
