The conclusion of NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver saw an absolute war between former Undisputed Era member Kyle O’Reilly standing tall over his former teammate in that faction, Adam Cole, in their hellacious Unsanctioned Match.

#KWKorner: The legacy of #LuchaUnderground in #wrestling today (@thekantastic)

#KWKorner: Would these past wrestling gimmicks work today? (@thekantastic)
Many times over, gimmicks are just ways to have an outlandish character occupy the insane and imaginary world of professional wrestling. But over the years, as the market and demographic demanded more reality based content, there have been more wrestlers or factions based more on real life situations.
