All you have to do is look at how differently NXT call-ups are booked once they go to Raw to see the difference, but let's not waste time on this. You either see the difference or you don't.

The bigger question in my post was why are we getting this match again? Did you want to see this match again?

Tweaking characters that only cater to neckbeards isn't the same shit as the basic formula of formatting a show....learn the difference between booking and formatting.

If it was the same, he wouldn't need to tweak it, but I'm talking booking. The wrestlers that come up are booked completely differently. Sometimes barely used at all or drastically in opposition to how they were before, but this isn't the topic I was interested in.

I just want to know why two TakeOvers within 6 months are having the same main event with the same 2-out-of-3 falls match stipulation.

First one was straight up rasslin....now it's a blood feud.

What's the problem? Not going to get some hell in a cell or whatever.

And there's no other guys there ready to be a contender yet.....unless you want to hotshot Matt Riddle or Keith Lee.

Also....Triple H doesn't book characters....he books an entrance.

I'm more talking the match type. Gargano would be fine, if it wasn't the same exact match already done.

We don't need this 2-out-of-3 falls match every week or every TakeOver.

I also take back that Gargano would be fine. I've never been high on this program. It's fine, though, if this is the end of it.

You do realize that 2/3 falls were the norm for all title matches in the 70s and 80s right?

Yes, but wrestling has evolved. Isn't that the tag line any time one of us wants the attitude era back? :becky

I don't really have a problem with them doing 2 out of 3 falls again since they at least spiced it up with stipulations but they better really change stuff up this time bc I'm not really looking forward to another 45 minute match if it's just repeated spots from the last two

Evolution isn't always a positive direction and don't even try lump me in that shit.n

I've always maintained the attitude era was shit outside of the main angles we all remember fondly.

And is Sam Roberts on the panel tonight?

Over/under on Gargano doing the blueberry face when he's selling?

Wasn't saying you. Anytime a fan says they want it back or Jim Cornette yells about the Young Bucks, people say wrestling has evolved.

Also, I don't need to fondly remember it. I watch 1999-2001 WWF all the time. I still love it. I will say 1998 doesn't hold up quite as well.
