My biggest problem with the NXT War Games matches, especially the last few, was the overuse of weapons and plunder. I really hope they cut back on that this Saturday. Either way, I'm looking forward to being there. Yeah, it's the same every time with the weapons being thrown in, plus no blood which takes me out of this so called violent barbaric contest. I haven't enjoyed any of the modern wargames that much really, hopefully these two on Saturday are better.

Going to this show on Saturday. First time I've been to one on TV and my first since a house show in 2005(?). Should be interesting. I don't watch the project religiously like I used to, but I'm prepared to acknowledge my tribal chief and the honorary uce.

I don’t really follow nxt so this shall be my first time seeing war games since WCW. WrestleWar 91 with the Horsemen is my favorite match that year. Solid men’s card but I can’t see the bloodline losing this unless Sami costs them somehow but seems too soon to tease reigns kicking him out of the stable. I just see a win for them after an entertaining war.
The women’s I’m buying into the rumored name that is expected to be the 5th member.

Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses.

Really excited for the show tonight. Men’s war games has a great build. Women’s hasn’t been quite as strong but they have built Rhea like a monster so hopefully she gets time to shine.

Really looking forward to the show. Happy Triple H has brought War Games to the main roster, was one of the most exciting things about NXT for me and I'm incredibly interested in both the matches and all the guys/gals in it. Seth/Theory/Lashley I'm buzzing for as well as it's been set up really well. Should be a cracking show!

Very disappointing card for me. I loved that HHH took away the needless Brand vs. Brand stip, but I would take a classic 5-on-5 elimination over War Games anyday. I love the IDEA of War Games but I have not enjoyed any that WWE has put on. I liked the feel of the older War Games matches where it felt like a fight and not a blatantly over-choreographed match. I obviously am fine for the choreographed stuff in matches, but I feel like War Games it is strictly everyone making sure they hit their "spots" and it kinda takes me out of them. Same for the West Side Story spot where everyone stand with their team, looks at the other team, then start fighting. One of my least favorite spots in all of wrestling.
I do hope that the people who love War Games are excited though! How long people have wanted this match on the main roster, I really hope it delivers for you all!

Was eyeing a front row ticket to the show tonight. In 12 hours it went from $2500 to $900 and then sold. Had it got to $700 I would have snagged. Bummer.

I think the show should be really good, but anyone think the Men's WarGames match is lacking on build-up? We only saw Owens become part of this equation eight days ago. Unfortunately I feel like they have under-delivered in that area. That said, the match should still be great.

So even if Solo and Sami were ringside for some tag matches, Reigns, Owens, and McIntyre are new to the feud, aren't they?

KO was put in for Sami and then McIntyre is really just there because they didn’t have anyone else 😂

But even that said…as far as this feud goes, did Roman and Sheamus interact before eight nights ago? I could be wrong.
