  1. NintendoLogic: That problem barely existed in the earlier wargames matches as the competitors entered every two minutes instead of the 3 minute intervals today. 3 minutes is just too long as it means that after the first 5 minute period you need to wait an additional 15 minutes until all the competitors have entered for a 4 on 4 match (as opposed to an additional 10 minutes for the 2 minute intervals in a 4 on 4 match). The reason the wargames matches seem to be 45+ minutes today is because the match beyond (the match after all competitors have entered) is essentially another full match, as opposed to a short match in which a fresh competitor (a late entrant) beats a member of the opposing team who was an early entrant or a short match in which one competitor takes advantage of some miscommunication between two members of the opposing team to secure the win (e.g. Sting winning via armbar on Eaton after Zbyszko accidentally hit him with the ringpost).
  2. 15 hours ago, El-P said: Tony Schiavone has said that he hated the submission or surrender rule, because it always came off anti-climatic and visually lame, and this is something I was so glad to hear because it was always by N°1 criticism with the concept. The women's match had a pin in between the rings and Shirai had her feet on the ropes during the pin which should have stopped the count just as it did in the falls count anywhere match on last week's Raw. In fact the wargames match, which is supposed to be the blowoff match, was just used to setup a new challenger for Shirai (the men's match was also the first time Pat's new group faced Undisputed Era, so it was the first match rather than the blowoff). The submit or surrender rule at least makes sense - two groups of wrestlers hate each other and the only way to win is to render unconscious a member of the opposing team or to make him or her submit. This also makes the match the blowoff of the feud as the winning team conclusively beat the losing team. A pin is a less impressive finish - especially if several wrestler pile up on top of the pinned wrestler (pretty much all the wrestlers would be pinned if two wrestlers would lay on top of them so it's hardly an impressive finish). Also, the older matches were not hardcore weapons matches. If a weapon entered the match, it's because the manager or valet found a way to smuggle it into the cage (e.g. Paul E's phone at Wrestlewar 92 was smuggled into the ring by Madusa).
  3. If I signed up for NWA's Patreon just to see matches I had already seen (other than a throwaway Eli Drake dark match from the first UWN Primetime Live show) I would have been pretty upset. If NWA wanted causal fans to catch up with events since Powerrr ended then they should have promoted a new recap or catchup show instead of promoting a new show with new matches.
  4. The Thread Killer: Stu Bennett has previous experience as a color commentator . He was a commentator and heel authority figure on ten one hour episodes of WOS Wrestling which aired in 2018 on ITV, one of the UK's major free-to-air TV channels, and the show was viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers which was considerably more than the WWE's viewing figures in the UK at the time (as WWE''s flagship shows aired in the middle of the night on a premium channel).
  5. gordi - The match between Okada and Omega from last year's Dominion show was 2/3 falls and not surprisingly none of them were quick (the match is also the highest rated by Meltzer of all time achieving the legendary 7 stars).
