Big, BIG Spoiler From NXT Tapings
This really is awesome.As announced tonight, WAR GAMES will make its WWE debut at Takeover: Houston in a three team, nine man double ring match. As usual, NXT continues to get me fired up about wrestling while WWE just kind of keeps going along. So excited for this one.
Considering there is still over a month of tv to be shown and that this stems from the Undisputed Era’s formal debut in Brooklynn, that it is indeed more than 5 weeks of tv build. Also Major Spoilers: Consider the Roderick Strong and Sanity feud from the spring, no love loss there either.
TBH I would have preferred a 5 on 5 with Lio Rush and Donovan Djack joining up with ROH invaders to face off against a patchwork team of NXT stalwarts like McIntyre, Strong, Ohno, Gargano, and Black. But this three team thing doesn’t lack a probable build in the least.
Its still not Wargames. Wargames is a 5 on 5 WAR between men who cannot settle it any other way. This 3 way tag feud has been going for how long? 5 weeks? If that.
That sounds exactly like the abomination that was the 1998 Wargames….3 teams of 3….thats not Wargames.
Poorly executed by WCW as the match was focused on Warrior/Hogan and not an actual ‘war’. I have faith in the NXT writers to get this right.
