Guest Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 He won the title with the Angel's Wings so I consider that his main finisher lol But I consider the Rope Hung DDT his Takeover finisher if that makes sense, like how Asuka won half her Takeover matches with the Buzzsaw Kick instead of the Asuka Lock lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Based off what we've seen here lately, it seems as if Project Ciampa and the Drapping DDT are his main finishers; although I'm sure he's pinned more people with the latter...and I know he attempted that Butterfly Facebuster/Piledriver once. I don't think I've even seen him even attempt Armbar since the #DIY days. As for Dream, him hitting the DVD on the concrete and immediately following up with the Rainmaker should have been the end, I thought - especially considering that he had already hit the DVD and even the Twisting DDT (on the NXT title) earlier.

I was shocked when he didn't win off that. I was convinced it was the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I swear I haven't seen a crowd pop so hard for a pinfall like that in a while. That building was ready to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 What i like about Ciampas DDTis he always does it onto something. Concrete, Hard wood ring, titles etc. I feel its the move he breaks out when its like thats it im winning. I did think him kicking out of the DVD on the floor plus the Purple Rainmaker was a bit much but the match was still so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Ciampa winning the title with the Angel's Wings was pretty lame lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 The DVD while yes on the floor, technically had double padding since it was on the mat that was pulled back. So it was on 2 mats, not the exposed concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'd have loved to see that Purple Rainmaker onto the apron spot. It was awesome the way it was, but it would have been Dream hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was on 2 mats, not the exposed concrete. Regardless, I still feel like it should have ended given the fact that Dream hit the DVD earlier in the match. That's pretty much his secondary finisher. Would have been fine with Ciampa somehow getting hit foot on the rope or something...but not kicking out entirely. I realize finisher kick-outs add more drama and excitement, but it happens to frequently in these big NXT title matches for my liking. The only move that seems to be really protected right now is Black Mass, the 630 and the Bitter End(?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither has the 630 and the Bitter End. The Freak Accident has been somewhat protected too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St★rstruck Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'd say Black vs. Gargano would be more deserving of a 5-star rating than Ciampa vs. Dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ! Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Im sure if either main evented and got a few more minutes they would have gotten it, its not a big deal really. i usually can tell how Meltz is gonna call it so none of these ratings surprise me and i dont disagree with them. i think he was even generous with Ciampa vs Dream.

Lunchbox Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Gargano/Black was that good, the War Games was boring af, and Dream/Ciampa was great until the metric *censored*ton of false finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm tired of these wild ass false finishes in this big NXT matches. I realize that it adds excitement and stuff to the match, but less is more in some cases. That's why I feel like some of these matches get just a tad bit overrated by fans. The same issues I had with Dream vs. Ciampa is the same issue I had with UE vs. Mustache Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
