[5/20/17] NXT Takeover: Chicago

[puppetmaster]

That heel turn was well done. First time in a while I was legit sad for a baby face getting double crossed

Johnny Wrestling has those good babyface character traits and with the crowd before the turn, gave it the icing on top.

seeing that ladder split in half live was


had me marking out maaaaannn

 

[The Rainmaker]

The nxt title match was kinda

Yes... still was the best Roode match in NXT which isn't saying much.

 

[TOAD99]

That UK title match

Bates did more holy shyt cruiserweight maneuvers than most of 205 live

But that was a great match.

Bobby Roode's style reminds me so much of the 80's NWA stars. Some people find that style boring, but I think it's cool.

-I like Nicki Cross's character, but in the ring she needs more moves and not just running into people with he forearm. She's gonna end up being female-Dean Ambrose
-Ruby Riot is boring
-Asuka's cool i guess. I'm just bleh on her at the moment.
-Roderick Malenko had a match.
-AOP again, surprisingly good at long matches.
-With DIY out the picture I hope they don't end up in the same boat as Asuka with no comp. I'm guessing them Austrailian nikkas are back healthy or they're gonna promote Heavy Machinery, but 4 fat dudes feuding . If AOP pull off them clapback-powerbombs with them fat fukks i'll be impressed.
--Bobby Roode is good at being the classic Flair-type heel. His in-ring okay, but I'm just not enjoying this run. His entrance is still GOAT in NXT tho. Hideo can go back to Japan. Bruh's run in the E is a complete failure.
-The only reason i don't like DIY splitting is they had some of the best tag team matches i've seen. But I love that they can be singles guys now. But NXT roster is still huge and they maybe have no place down there. I mean this show had Ohno, Jose, Aleister, and a rack of other people completely left off the show. I'd like to see Ciampa called up immediately to maybe Smackdown and have Gargano some time down the line make that return babyface run in.
-UK title match was good. But some of the guys in that division seem like they have that same base UK "character". Pete Dunne at least looks like a natural prick with an attitude for no reason.

But that was a great match.

Some of those cruiserweights have it in them, they seem severely handicapped.

 

[DoubleJ13]

Takeover Brooklyn I expect Cole & reDRagon to be in the crowd. Cole is obvious & with DIY done they need teams since their down to AOP, Heavy Machinery, & I guess Sanity until TM61 gets back

 

[TheGodling]

Bobby Roode's style reminds me so much of the 80's NWA stars. Some people find that style boring, but I think it's cool.

I think that style still has a place in today's wrestling, but it requires more intricate storytelling and in-ring psychology then just working a hurt limb.

Spoiler

from the spoilers i seen on the NXT show, Roddy and Ohno are gonna be tagging together

sidebar: this event wasn't stacked with names but it didn't need to be. quality over quantity

 

[Apex]

The next Takeover should be really good if they put Black and Ohno on it and have the Adam Cole cameo.

 

[TOAD99]

ciampa had the crowd heated (me included)


DIY was a great team

Gargano got rocked with that ladder
