NXT TakeOver: Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

A request! The request was for my “least favorite of the three Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano TakeOver main events from 2019.” I’ll be honest with you: I can’t separate which of these was which any more than I can remember what happened in which of the last five or so Fast & Furious movies, other than I know the most recent one sucked shit and had Jason Momoa as Nicolas Cage, and in the one before that, that hillbilly shot Tyrese and Ludacris into outer space.

But I know it’s generally agreed this was the worst, the last of the batch. Meltzer gave the April match “five and one-half stars” and Cagematch has a 9.17 on it. The second match in June got “five and one-quarter stars” and Cagematch put a 9.07 on it. This one Dave was down to “four stars” and Cagematch dropped to 8.47.

(Requests open and tips always appreciated!)

WWE Royal Rumble, Phoenix, AZ

A request! HEY! If you’re the requester of this request, which was a double request, I’ve already done your other request, the requested Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor match from this same show. Please request another request! @ me on Twitter or DM me there; I may not see either super fast, but I can’t think of another way. Email? tapemachines at gmail dot com.

Anyway, here we are in Phoenix, beginning the Road to WrestleMania 35 proper at the Rooooooyal Rumble. 30 fellas will compete for a chance to challenge for either the WWE Championship, currently at this point held by Daniel Bryan, or the WWE Universal Championship, currently at this point held by Brock Lesnar.

(Requests open and tips always appreciated!)
