I will shut up about NXT Black & Gold someday (maybe), but any entity that can produce 5-star matches from stiffs like the Authors of Pain is truly something special. #TakeOverChicago

I do wonder when wrestling fans will learn that tables, um, well... Tables are the lamest of all the weapons. #TakeoverChicago

Also, in catching up on NXT in time for #TakeoverChicago, I'm torn between loving everything about Lacey Evans (character and in-ring stuff) and also thinking she'd definitely call the cops on me for, I dunno, standing while black.

So really, she's doing amazing, sweetie.
