    Since when are tits hairstyles?

    And Batman, I think its defensible because they haven't exactly built this up that well, and it is happening in the shadow of and only because of the Saudi show, which will have no women wrestling.

    Heck of a day for South Dakota. Vinatieri becomes the NFL's all-time leading scorer and Basler regains the NXT title.

    Nope. Theres 2 matches with actual story and one thats unpredictable.

    Which come to think of it is pretty much most ppvs these days, so theyve reached equality!

    Best wrestling match and title goes on not last.....also equality!

    But Becky is the bad guy? Why are the fans cheering her? :D

    This is a bag full of thumbtacks short of being a Mick Foley-approved extreme match.

    Damn! Powerbomb from the top rope to the table on the floor.

    And Becky actually won! No SuperCena or Roman treatment for Charlotte.

    True! Forgot about that.

    It was a fun show. Last 3 matches were really really good sports entertainment. First bunch dragged at times.

    Charlotte/Beckys right up there with Brooklyn for best womens match of the era. Really worth the time if you missed it

    That was fun. I chuckled when Brie got thrown over the table and the fans started an ironic Yes chant. Ronda has done such a good job at looking credible.

    Becky and Charlotte were spectacular. 'Nuff said.

    NXT title match continues a good storyline.

    Six-woman tag didn't excite me st first, but they picked up the pace and had a very good last few minutes. Also, Sasha and Ruby need their own feud and match. They work so well together.

    Missed the first three matches.

    Saw the Ronda-Nikki match live. It was surprisingly good.
    Then went back and watched Charlotte-Becky.
    Holy shit.
    That was, flat out, the best last man standing match I've ever seen. The best women's match I've ever seen. Perhaps one of the most physical and brutal matches, men's or women's, that I've ever seen.
    Last man standing matches usually suck because they devolve into spotfests followed by long breaks for the counts. This one never let up. The spots all flowed perfectly from one to another, and I don't think there was a single one that didn't make you go, "Oof, that hurt," at least a little bit. Throw in the fact it was a great (presumed) finish to an intense personal feud, and that was simply fucking awesome.

    I think she was on the stage with the rest of the roster at the end of the show as well.
