Eric Young recently wrote a piece for ESPN that went into detail about his experience at NXT Takeover: WarGames. Young participated in the first-ever WWE branded War Games match at the Takeover event in Houston. The match was very well-received by fans and was a lot of fun to watch.

Young detailed the backstage reaction immediately following the match. This includes the reactions of Triple H, Shawn Michaels and more.
Here is what he said:
“One of the coolest moments of all was walking backstage after the match, and there’s Hunter and Michael Hayes, Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom and a bunch of the other coaches. Pat Patterson’s there, and Michael Cole’s there. These are guys who, in the end, decide whether it was good or not — and they’re all standing there clapping. Doing a match like that, it gives you this adrenaline rush, but that moment afterward hits you in a much different, but also very meaningful, way.
When you set something in motion and then it goes off the way you intended it to be, that feeling can’t be duplicated”
He continued:
“Having these people that you looked up to, idolized and in some ways even feared, clapping and shaking your hand — it doesn’t get better than that professionally. That’s the mountaintop, the absolute top of what wrestling is, as far as an accomplishment goes. Titles are incredible, but no matter what you’re doing, having the people who you work for, who pay your salary, be standing and shaking their head and they can’t believe how good it was — that’s the ultimate”
