7 Ups And 3 Downs From WWE NXT TakeOver: Toronto
2. Just Wrestling
Survivor Series weekend provides wrestling fans with an overload of matches and excitement, but it also provides a stark contrast between two different worlds.
The WWE’s fall classic will have six matches (unless more are added last-minute), three of which are the typically lengthy elimination matches. Survivor Series starts at 7 p.m. and probably will include numerous backstage segments and interviews, maybe a couple played up for yuks.
TakeOver: Toronto, by comparison, consisted of five matches ranging from good to great and no filler. No backstage segments, no interviews, no authority figures talking about brand supremacy or threatening wrestlers with their jobs if they lose. It also clocked in at less than 2-1/2 hours that breezed by.
Odds are you won’t be able to say that after a four-hour Survivor Series PPV Sunday night.
