This is the first time in 3 years that I've seen a Takeover thread with ZERO replies after over 12 hours; let alone a pre Mania show. I'm embarrassed for the state of NXT. I hope Asuka and Nakamura both lose so they go to RAW.
To be fair, this is an entire week before the actual event, but yeah I get your point.
Regardless, this sounds like a pretty decent card. I really enjoyed the last Nakamura/Roode match with Nakamura's selling, the women's match features the two best women in NXT currently, and the triple threat tag should be a very hot match with two great teams and an ever improving AOP.
Really, NXT's biggest problem is that they're writing for any non-Takeover show is pretty horrid and most of those shows are completely uneventful now. Their main event scene is basically popular indie guy gets title, another popular indie guy comes in and wins title, repeat. The storytelling is also very weak overall, and has been ever since Ryan Ward and Dusty Rhodes both left/passed.
God i feel so bad for these tag teams when they get on the main roster, watching them compete in 10 man tag matches with Breezango and Ascension on SDL or on Raw doing jack shit and getting a feud with New Day.
Roode has the moveset of a wrestler from the 80's, just a basic technical style with neckbreakers, slams etc, he doesn't do anything fancy or that exciting but all his moves are crisp and clean. I personally love his style, its oldschool.
I'll be attending this, I'm second row on the camera side. Last year I had an awful view, I couldn't see a thing so this year is gonna be so much better.
I'm looking forward to this. It'll be my third Takeover.
Yes, mostly. Back at Toronto we were all chanting for him all night, and it was almost entirely just because of the 10 thing. It was fun to yell 10, especially as the referee counted 1, 2, TEN!
A lot of people (including myself) expected this NXT TakeOver to NOT deliver... I'll take the :loss on this one because Black (that entrance though) v. Almas, AoP v. DIY v. Revival, etc. were awesome as hell!
And, on that high note... Top that, WM 33! :aj3
Welcome to the WWE main roster... Dillinger, Revival, and Nakamura (hopefully)! Plus, an appearance from Drew Galloway too!

Nakamura yes (please be Smackdown). Revival, maybe. Not much left for them to do in NXT but the tag division isn't exactly deep. And no to Dillinger. I don't know, just don't see it right now.
It's all in the build. I feel like Sanity vs. Tye and friends has been plastered all over NXT weekly episodes lately. The fact that Roode and Nakamura haven't interacted since San Antonio is crazy, and they didn't have a whole lot of face to face before San Antonio either. I think Asuka and Ember Moon have come face to face once.
The building of feuds in NXT lately is horrible. A Takeover main event has been sold purely on name value rather than an actual issue.
That said, the show itself should be great, all the talent is there. I'm looking forward to it as the first ever televised WWE event I'll attend. But, NXT is lost without Ryan Ward and Dusty, and it's never been more apparent.
Yeah. I'd say the heel turn was good, but I wouldn't praise them for it 'cause he should have been heel from the start. But the fact he's now in the CJ Parker/Tyler Breeze/Tye Dillinger spot is pretty disheartening.
