How many people on this entire planet could have cervical neck fusion surgery and not only be willing to wrestle, not only be willing to take that bump, but actually do both IN THE SAME DAMN YEAR?
The man is made of different stuff. He is my idol. Whoever calls him an indy vanilla midget again deserves to have their balls stapled by Jimmy Havoc. Ciampa is a legend.
You're right. I never even thought of his neck injury that he just came back from. To take that bump after that injury and surgery is insane. Jesus Christ.
It was a good match until Keith Lee stepped in, then it got awesome.
The two War games matches were the highlights for sure. The other two matches were good. Another very good Takeover, maybe not top 5 but definitely have it up there just for the first and last match.
MVP: Adam Cole, for taking that bump at the end. Also will WWE allow Adam Cole turn up when Britt Wins Women's title in AEW, only fair game.
Great Takeover. I was a little worried having 2 War Games matches on the same card, but both matches were excellent. And the surprise of KO made things even better. TakeOver's never disappoint.
It's fucking ridiculous that Rush v. Garza isn't on this card. And renders the entire cruiserweight division to be meaningless. At least they made the card on main roster PPVs.
I hope they add Lio Rush vs. Angel Garza for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship last minute, on the main card and not the kickoff, because their rivalry and 11/13 NXT match are HOT! Or as Mauro Ranallo would say, "en fuego."
I mean, that had good in-ring action, some plunder, great storytelling, and the underdogs pulling it out. Plus, you have 3 people who are probably not going to be happy with Dakota Kai going forward... that was awesome.
Yeah, when they showed the slo-mo replay you can see that Ciampa's arm was under Cole's neck and on the way down you can see Ciampa turn his head halfway and look down to make sure his arm was underneath Cole's neck the entire way down, which it was.
