NxT TakeOver Dallas

[Harthan]

Because wrestling is about charisma and story telling not kneeing people in the face 600 times?

Nakamura oozes charisma more than any other wrestler on the planet. The story was perfect. Zayn, defending simultaneously his home turf of NXT and the American style of wrestling, and Nakamura, wanting to make himself a superstar in NXT and present strong style. They're 50/50 - until Zayn starts to start fighting strong style too. Suddenly Nakamura has an answer for everything, because Zayn's good, but he just stepped into the throne room of the fucking king. It costs Zayn the match and he leaves heartbroken.

Where exactly was the "charisma and story" lacking from that?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Tremendous promo package. Talking heads.

And look, the originator of feminism, Stephanie McMahon is here to introduce the (co) main event.

 

[Sean Valjean]

Am I the only one who thinks Asuka's hair looks like a watermelon flavored fruit roll-up?

 

[Uncle Sam]

That mask is the most horrifying thing I've ever seen and I've spent Friday night in Croydon.

I'm sorry guy but if you don't think that match featured charisma and story telling, I don't think you know what those words mean.

 

[That N Word]

Gotta say this is what wrestling is all about. WrestleMania has some stiff competition.

 

[Harthan]

I think it looks longer. Different color suggests maybe extensions?

It's a good look for her at any rate.

 

[The Bearded One]

Bayley's song just makes me so happy.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I'm like 90% positive I just saw KB in the audience.

 

[ABMorales787]

Was that KB in the pale green collar shirt and brown hat? That soul patch is unmistakable.

 

[Shadowmancer]

I want Bayley at Wrestlemania just for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tubemen entrance, that would be amazing

 

[Harthan]

I want Bayley to wear sunglasses and call herself the Macho Queen.

The crowd weren't reacting to what he did, they were reacting to spots they'd seen before and recognised. To me it's pretty clear that he's got over in Japan by being stiff, in the same way that Scott Norton did, and because liking people is infectious, Americans who tuned in liked him too. He did nothing in that match, nothing to actually interact with the crowd. You've all seen the spots before and we're excited I have not, he didn't sell it to me.

He oozes charisma the way Deadpool oozes cool. The way Asuka is looking at Bayley right now is more charismatic and has more presence than anything Nakamura did.

I'm in the minority here, I get it, but I wasn't impressed.

 

[rbv13]

Bayley is just so adorable. Seems like I chick I would actually have a shot at. Well a shot without using some type of date rape mixer.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Asuka with the Taguchi attack

 

[Harthan]

I have to pee very badly during the women's watch. The irony of this situation is staggering.

I'm watching on a delay so don't mind my slightly behind comments. Sami's theme is awesome but I so badly wish it were this:

I'd just start dancing every time he came out.

Dammit. I keep focusing on it now.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

It's almost as if when given someone competent to work with, whose offense consists of more than an armbar, Asuka is really good

 

[Harthan]

If Bayley is just gonna become a submission expert now, that would be totally fine with me.

 

[Navi]

Asuka is amazing. I love her and her hair.

 

[Harthan]

Dragon screws from Bayley is PERFECT.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

AWESOME meshing of styles here. Thing of beauty

The man's favorite wrestler is Ultimate Warrior. That's all that needs to be said. I'm sure if Nakamura shook the ropes and was blown up within five minutes that would have been more his style.
