NXT Takeover: Wargames (Nov. 2017)

Yeah, sorry. I would’ve had this up sooner, but quite honestly, I wasn’t feeling it.

Maybe it was the fact that I watched a rather pointless Survivor Series PPV with only one worthwhile match before getting around to watching this show.

This is a random choice… and to be honest, I don’t know why I went with this one other than to have a “classic” era Starrcade to fill the slot or something. In hindsight, I should’ve tried my luck again and went for one of the 80s iterations. However, what’s done is done and we can’t take that back.

Would’ve been nice…
