SHALL WE BEGIN?
Aye. Praise train has gotten a little unwieldy.
Still.
Fantastic fuckin' show.

I think, "like WrestleMania" is a bit much.
A show in front of a few hundred people is never going to be "like WrestleMania" in as much as WrestleMania is a gigantic extravaganza held in huge fucking stadiums with fireworks and Lillian Garcia singing the national anthem - and NXT's obviously never going to do something like that.
The bigger issue is the implication that WrestleMania isn't routinely a bit of a letdown. Maybe people have forgotten because of how good the latest one was.

The criticism of Itami is laughable only because he's obviously being pigeonholed. He can do more than kick but for some reason he's just not. I'm honestly shocked he still has the support of the people despite all of this.

See none of that is what I'm referring to, it's what WrestleMania represents. WrestleMania is supposed to be the biggest and best show of the year, the "grandaddy of them all". Last night's Takeover was again, pretty good, but also the worst of the lot. NXT has entered a realm now where even if it does wrong, it does right and that's not good for NXT itself.

Fuck erbody but me
KB gave the Corbin/Bull and tag team matches each a C grade. Definitely speaks to what you're saying. Sorry but that Corbin/Bull match was garbage and the tag match was weak.

I got a C in geography in school, I still passed geography. Those fuckers didn't pass shit. Corbin's finisher is him hitting himself with the Rock Bottom, look.
And people want to complain about Jay Lethal's finisher, Christ.

Indeed I did give it a C, as the match was a short brawl and basically exactly what it should have been.

The Cowboys had gotten close to winning time after time then pulled an upset over the Dragons to win the titles. Last night was the Dragons' rematch.

Especially being such an ardent ROH fan, I cant see why you would be so hard on that match
that's actually exactly what it reminded me of while I watched it....Just four guys going out to do a move exhibition.Wasn't a work of art, but it was passable, and fairly fun. C, C-.

This. So much this.
That dude who is always in the front row in the Kevin Owens shirt is a dick (screaming at the ref for 'blocking his view' etc...)
Agree with the sentiment that the show is being slightly overrated but it was an absolute cracker and I really, really enjoyed it, especially, obviously, the final three matches. I love angles in the end of matches that are logical and coherent and the finish to that show was that.
I'll try a write-up tomorrow.
