Episode 55: November 25, 2017

The Story of Wrestling

Alasdair and Kyle look back on the many joys and occasional frustrations of NXT Takeover: War Games and Survivor Series. Wait, that's ambiguous: Takeover was just joys. The weirdness was all on Survivor Series, though we did legitimately have to struggle with which was the better show because both had some classic matches and stories. We start small with how the likes of Miz-Corbin were way better than they had any right to be, before talking about how Velveteen Dream-Aleister Black was pretty much perfect. We pay our respects to the next NXT champions coming out of Takeover, and we revel in the tag team glory of this week, with a special shout-out to the Bar and the Usos. Also, that War Games match... my goodness. And Brock Lesnar-AJ Styles... double my goodness.
