There's always a reason why NXT TakeOver specials are the WWE's top shows year in and year out (sorry, not even WrestleMania can top them now). They have a stack of stories that has got everyone glued to their seat. Hell, they don't even need four hours to produce a stellar show (not even five).

The Rundown Slam: NJPW Dominion

06/20/2018 05:09:00 PM

There's a reason why NJPW has been THE wrestling show as of late. Forget WWE for a moment.
