I honestly thought that was kinda horrible? The quality of the wrestling was fantastic no doubt but it was so overbooked and for no clear reason. The booking has been pretty horrible throughout this show to be honest, especially for a TakeOver. UE lose all night so Cole can win at the end? I guess Cole couldn't afford to lose here after taking so many big match Ls but what's the deal with NXT putting gold onto Gargano only to take it off him immediately every time? They did it with the Tag titles, then the NA and now the NXT Title. Is this a long term story? But to what end? What story reason did Cole have to win here other than to avoid being buried beyond all recovery?

By WWE standards it was still a great show but by TakeOver standards that has to be one of the worst shows they've put on in a long, long, time. Riddle/Strong while well worked was a TV main event moved onto this card for no clear purpose. The Street Profits won the Tag Titles despite being the least interest part of that Ladder match, making their win feel really flat. Dream/Breeze was soured by a terrible, overbooked finish. I love the women's match because of the Baszler trolling but let us be real, what the fuck guys. Then the main event as above.

I'm the same.

Did catch this past weeks weekly show though and it was fucking terrible so I probably will keep just tuning in for TakeOvers and enjoy the great PPV they put on.

Problem with NXT is that none of it matters. It's a developmental brand at the end of the day. No one stays down forever and those that do have wasted their time.
