Based on the booking of Alberto Del Rio, Cokeboy is gonna love La Sombra when he hits the main roster. I think he has the potential to be one of the biggest Latino stars in WWE history. I basically only watch NXT via the Takeover shows, but every time I see this dude he just gets better and better. He's an excellent wrestler, has the charisma and the baddest manager in the game. I'm a huge fan.

The main event was amazing, maybe the best NXT match I've seen.

His English needs a lot of work, especially since they like to break managers and tag team partners away from people they want to push.

I hope Ohno realizes he’s a player/coach and doesn’t expect an actual push. He’s Jason Terry/Jason Kidd from a couple years ago

Watching through it now.

I haven't watched anything NXT since Houston and I continued to be amazed by how well done these shows are without having watched a damn thing in 2 months. Last Takeover I sped through the shows from Brooklyn to Houston to get a sense of what was going on. Didn't bother to this time and shyt these shows are great.

AOP/UE was just fun to watch. Classic David/Goliath story with a twist. Really well done.

Dream is fukking incredible. One of the things I hate about WWE in 2017 and really the better late of the last 15 years is the lack of character. Dudes coming out in trunks for promos, minimal shyt to set them apart from others. Attitude era was great because they had something for everyone - everything is so generic now, sans a few characters. Dream gets it. He's Rick Rude, Goldust, Prince all in one. The specialty trunks for the last 2 Takeovers, the body movements, the phrases. Like New Day, I wish there were other ways to get us over, but I love that it's working for him either way.

I just wanna rest my face in between Embers thighs and let her squeeze. Short, stumpy ass broad gets my dikk hard now and I don't know why. Good sell job, the spitting up at the end was fukking official. And maybe I'm just sick, but I'd beat up Shayna's bull dykey ass too. That smile from beating the shyt out of her did something for me.

Black/Cole was just fun. Much like AOP/UE, the story really made this. And again, I haven't seen any of the build up. But I felt it. Black not actively using any weapons because he is the weapon, just dope. Cole looks like a woman at my job but with a beard. shyt weird me out.

Almost done with Gargano/Almas and it seems OK don't particularly care for Gargano and Almas has the look, but does nothing for me. Thea's always fun to watch and it's funny as hell watching a main event where the announcer and the ref are bigger than the wrestlers involved.

Last bit, just love Mauro at the table. Hearing moves called, flapjack, dragon screw, it's nice to hear beyond "slam" and "move".

With no build up I can enjoy an NXT show more than any RAW or SD these days as I usually fast forward through everything. Shame.


Edit: Almas/Gargano ended really well. Really pushed the while never say die for Gargano. I feel like this whole show just presents their story so much better. I get the logic behind everything that happened. Well written show. I say it all the time but I really do need to follow NXT better.
