My picks for Takeover: No Way Jose Bobby Roode Ember Moon Asuka Gargano/Ciampa Samoa Joe- I'm 50/50 on this, it might be too soon for Nak to get the title here but I don't know?
Yeah I'm going back and forth but I have a feeling SD is going to call up Aries since he's the perfect fit for them. I could be wrong Aries wins and No Way Jose is lost in the shuffle or back to the indies for this guy, hahah. I'd be shocked if he gets called up for any reasons it may be.
I'm also 50/50 on this Asuka/bayley too? Would it make sense for them to make history and have her become two time women's champ? It could happen.
Who was it the crowd was reacting to in the Aries/Jose match? Someone in the crowd I think Edit Ric Flair
It was funny, when they're special guest at ring side, seems they sit in different spots, but all of them shown were in the same seats. Flair was only there for one match, CWC were their afterwards, Sasha and Becky were there during the tag match till the end, Mick, Noelle, and Finn just showed up last match next to Sasha/Becky
i thought Roode's entrance was the greatest entrace I've seen live but Nakamura's blew it out of the water
As hard of an act for SS to follow it's smart to have NXT kick things off to a blazing hot start. God I love wrestling. Come on Balor get that belt tonight!
Flair losing his **** with pure happiness as Aries attacked Jose after the match Roode is a mega star NOW! Character is gold Every match was fantastic. Asuka/Bayley was probably my fave, tag title close second Bayley's gotta be coming up
Event was great, surprised it was packed since the prices dropped week before the event, was able to score the $80 after fees floor seats Friday night, glad I did, since they went back up to $99 before fees Saturday afternoon. Glad to see Tye Dillinger on the NXT Taping for Wednesday, dude is WAYY over with the crowd. Good to see Authors of Pain live, dudes are HUGE in person. Whole Takeover show was great, Roode's entrance was a bit Shawn Michaels-esque WM25 entrance, but with the awesome entrance theme. I've been to plenty of WWE events in the last 15 years, but Nakamura's entrance by far was the best entrance I've seen live. No flashy props, just a badass theme with damn good violinist doing his thing. Here are the pics I took, working on uploading Nakamura's entrance (with my voice singing the theme on full display) on Youtube, I'll embed it once it's done https://goo.gl/photos/N9WjQiAd5pEHpLzB9 EDIT 2: Youtube took down my video for copyright issues, but here it's on my Google Photos account https://goo.gl/photos/9Z4j723dUuYSbsJx6 hopefully I got enough ass shots of Bayley and Asuka to satisfy VanityHalfBlack
Who went to the house show last month for NXT? That tag match was the exact same match right? Same outcome too. LOL.
Overall I don't think this years takeover was even close to last years... Nakamura entrance was amazing, match was okay. Some good matches but nothing that even came close to KO vs Finn or Sasha vs Bayley
You know. Samoa Joe is a very very good wrestler. I haven't seen Kenta in a while. Him doing the GTS on Aries was awesome. Has he used that before in the wwe?
Not on TV. They've teased it a couple of times (him and Balor vs. the Ascension in Finn's first match). I THINK he did it once at a house show or something, but my memory sucks so take it with a grain of salt.
Agreed those 2 matches from last year was for the ages.... But this year had the better overall card.
