[@Kalel2.0]

Apparently Great Balls of Fire was originally supposed to be the revived Bad Blood ppv but they decided to ditch it in favor Great Balls of Fire. Also Evolution should really be a mainstay that happens once every few years especially with how stacked the Womens Division is now. I also loved Breaking Point as kid especially mostly cause it had one of the better Cena vs Orton matches

[@night6724]

Except women’s wrestling isn’t a draw. I’ll say this, I wouldn’t mind a dedicated Queen of the Ring PPV to be paired with KotR

The odd thing about the Wrestling Classic was the turnbuckles had no padding. No explanation why. They just didn't have any. The car giveaway was a huge waste of time. The audience hated it. And to top it off the winner wasn't even there! 😂 On the plus side Randy Savage did wrestle 4 times which meant 4 different dresses for Elizabeth! 😍

[@posindustries]

Huh, Vince McMahon offering a high dollar prize to drive viewership only for no winners to ever materialize? What a weird thing that would certainly never happen again.

[@the1flym459]

I really hope WWE does another Breaking Point someday. It wasn't a perfect show by any means, but it was a really fun change of pace

[@AliFrankTheTank]

Breaking Point, Evolution and Fatal 4 Way all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and needed every other year or some

[@SonBlackHeart22]

Honestly the concept of Breaking Point was neat is just WWE didn't make use of is full potential of a submission only show. (And not too mention them shamelessly redoing the Montreal Screwjob in the World title match really grinds my gears.) But Orton vs Cena at this show was great.

[@Obscusion2]

Yeah, WWE could easily bring Breaking Point back, and with Triple H focusing on giving most PPVs/PLEs only around 5 or 6 matches you could fill it out nicely with the gimmick. Two submission matches, an I Quit match, a Last Man Standing match, and maybe even an elimination match or two (to at least marginally maintain the theme).

[@Trekapedia]

12:40 check out that timestamp lol. My friends and I were cracking up when that titantron showed up.

[@mirrormaster6148]

Breakingpoint was such a great concept. Wish they did another

[@night6724]

Breaking Point wasn’t submission exclusive. It included the I Quit match which fits the breaking point moniker

[@thevoicelesswriter]

Technically, an I Quit match is a verbal submission match.

WWE not having Evolution as an annual womens ppv (it's like a class reunion tbh) every year or 2 is crazy, since they have SO many dream matches sat there but no time to do them. The roster is STACKED and ready to go. Stipulations have been time proven with some of the women too. Give us a HIAC main event with Iyo jumping off the top ffs

On the previous video, I wasn't sure if Adam was just mispronouncing things on purpose or if they just trained an AI using his voice. The glitch at 5:09 is starting to make me think its the later.

[@Indy-ty4qd]

Adam you should now rank all nxt takeovers worst to best again it’s been over 5 years since the last one

[@MarkieDood]

I will say that Fatal Four Way could be a fun concept for a show in a Japanese promotion like NJPW or NOAH, where multi-man matches like that are relatively quite rare. Certainly compared to any major American promotion, where they're just a staple of weekly programming anyways. Funny to think about.

[@mattybrom]

One Night Only was at the NEC in Birmingham, not Manchester

[@SomeDumbKid1]

6:28 is such a great edit

[@dylanogg347]

For what it's worth, the Submission Tag Team Match between DX and Legacy at Breaking Point was dope.

Only just returned to wrestling for the first time since 2018. Clash at the Castle is probably one of the best WWE shows i've ever seen. I wish I'd seen it at the time.

[@TimTE01]

An ‘I Quit’ Match isn’t a Submission Match, fella? Logic!

[@RetroActivityGaming]

One is saying "I Quit", the other is tapping out. It's two perfectly different things. You can scream all you want in a submission, but it doesn't end til you tap. You can tap all you want in an I Quit match and nothing will be done until you verbally say you quit. So yeah, there is logic.

[@Joe90h]

@@RetroActivityGaming Actually, crying out that you quit is a perfectly acceptable method of submitting, it's just fallen out of favour because the deliberate motion of tapping out translates better to an audience. There's nothing specifically forbidding anyone submitting be saying 'I quit!".

[@night6724]

@@RetroActivityGamingyeah but it fits the Breaking Point theme. It’s called Breaking Point not Submission Mayhem. I Quit is about breaking your opponent until they willingly give up. Also how was there NOT an Iron Man or Last Man Standing match here? I think Breaking Point should be brought back with the matches being submission, I Quit, Iron Man and Last Man Standing. Honestly, they should just replace Extreme Rules with Breaking Point since Extreme Rules isn’t very extreme either

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

@@night6724 I would be on board with that

[@night6724]

@@BoogalooBartholomew TBF they kind of continued Breaking Point with the more creatively named “Over the Limit.” I’ll always remember when Cena was going to AA Batista off the car on the stage before he quit, and did it anyway. Batista actually got legit injured, but was used as a way to write him off WWE since he was going to leave WWE at that time

[@jeanpaulsinatra]

Good old 2010, where Vince decided to sack off the ppvs that had been going on years and were absolutely fine, and replace them with gimmick matches which sort of ruined what made those matches special. And then they ran out of gimmick matches so they scraped the barrels for a night of fatal four ways. Jesus Christ what was wrong with judgement day or armageddon?
