Unsanctioned Match
Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano
Gargano will be banned from NXT if he loses.

[Lock Jaw]

Very excited for Gargano/Ciampa

[A.J.K]

Very excited for Gargano/Ciampa

Should be a Slobberknocker. Also looking forward to EC3's in-ring NXT Debut.

[Lock Jaw]

Does Ricochet really wear a crown?....

Gotta say that in my brief exposure to him, he seems like a lot better with a mask on than off.

[A.J.K]

Thoughts on the NXT North american title design?

Looks good to me

[A.J.K]

Gotta say that in my brief exposure to him, he seems like a lot better with a mask on than off.

You mean when he was Prince Puma?

[Dark One]

Ciampa vs Gargano is main eventing this right?

How could it not?

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, saw a bit of him as Prince Puma (more than I have without the mask), and he just seemed and looked "more interesting" with the mask.

[Lock Jaw]

I always hate when they do "unsanctioned matches"...... like, it is obviously sanctioned and given time in the ring, assigned a referee, etc.........

[DaveWadding]

Can't wait to see Rick O'Shea, the Jaguar King.

[Dark One]

Does anyone know if Poit and/or slik brought a "Dark One is the true KotF" sign or not?

[Lock Jaw]

New guy on the pre-show panel keeps saying "Tap, Snap, or Crap" instead of "Tap, Nap, or Snap" despite being corrected once. Charly trying not to break out lauighing.

Gonna be Adam Coles night

[A.J.K]

Adam Cole Bay! Bay! on Double Duty tonight.

[A.J.K]

Ladder Match up first.

[Lock Jaw]

Adam Cole wrestling twice in one night, BAYBAY

I find that "Adam Cole BAYBAY" thing very annoying...... and always seem to be disappointed/surprised that he isn't taller...... like every time I expect him to be taller than he is, but he never is......

Adam Cole Bay Bay

Good shirt choice...

[Dark One]

Does anyone know if Poit and/or slik brought a "Dark One is the true KotF" sign or not?

[Dark One]

Got Supercard of Honor Lined up for right after this. Can't wait for Kenny vs Cody, but the whole card for Takeover is too good for me to pass on for that one match.

[Triple A]

NXT video packages seem way better than WWE ones... overall production in general is way better...

[Dark One]

NXT video packages seem way better than WWE ones... overall production in general is way better...

I think a lot of it is that they're presenting it as real and natural. Like they don't just toss to someone backstage with some magical disembodied camera conveniently on when two guys start brawling. They always set it up with something else, like X or Y is being interviewed by the press but OSHIT SOMETHING'S HAPPENING OVER HERE.

That adds a lot of authenticity to all of the video packages that pull from that and makes it feel way more real and authentic.

[Simple Fan]

Got Supercard of Honor Lined up for right after this. Can't wait for Kenny vs Cody, but the whole card for Takeover is too good for me to pass on for that one match.

Same

[DaveWadding]

Pat McAfee is awful

[Poit]

They really dropped the ball on this whole "entire crowd holding glowsticks" thing they're trying to do.

[Lock Jaw]

And here we go

[Lock Jaw]

They really dropped the ball on this whole "entire crowd holding glowsticks" thing they're trying to do.

Could barely see any on TV

[Dark One]

Pat McAfee is awful

Yeah... I mean, there's something to be said for having a super abrasive, obnoxious guy on the panel. That kind of antagonistic personality is kind of a wrestling staple, but for someone who's supposedly a superfan, he seemed really out of the loop on what's going on.

[Dark One]

Could barely see any on TV

A "Dark One is the true KotF" sign would have stood out much more.

[Lock Jaw]

Wasting time on a music performance....... hate when they do this.......

[Lock Jaw]

A "Dark One is the true KotF" sign would have stood out much more.

Not as much as a "Lock Jaw Nation" sign

[Dark One]

Does Vince McMahon know they're doing this show without a Flo-Rida or Kid Rock song

[Droford]

Pat McAfee is awful

He talks wrestling occasionally on Barstool Radio. He was a guest on Busted Open earlier this week. Hes not that bad..

[Lock Jaw]

This is not good music

[Dark One]

Wasting time on a music performance....... hate when they do this.......

I don't think is too egregious. It's basically taking the place of the PPV opening video, since it's one of the themes and it's playing through all the talent/matches on the card. Pretty great middle ground, IMO.

[Dark One]

This is not good music

You're just grumpy because you haven't had cereal in forever.

[Droford]

Not as much as a "Lock Jaw Nation" sign

In the front row no less.

[Lock Jaw]

You're just grumpy because you haven't had cereal in forever.

Tomorrow!!! So excited!!!

[Dark One]

Closing on the one million rep club. Not bad for someone who's more part time than Brock Lesnar at this point.

WILL WRESTLEMANIA WEEKEND BE THE TIME FOR THE BOYHOOD DREAM TO COME TRUE?!

[Droford]

I don't think is too egregious. It's basically taking the place of the PPV opening video, since it's one of the themes and it's playing through all the talent/matches on the card. Pretty great middle ground, IMO.

Im having flashbacks to Drowning Pool telling the story of HHH vs Jericho.

[Triple A]

Freaking pumped for this show

[Dark One]

I assume Ricochet is going to do a 2160 off the top of a 40 foot ladder. If not, his whole signing was a failure.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, EC3 is jacked and shredded

[Dark One]

Damn, EC3 is jacked and shredded

Top 1% and 1% body fat.

The other 99% is probably juice, but hey.

[Triple A]

Is EC3 good... seems like a "Randy Orton-type"... aka not good...

[Droford]

I miss trouble

[Dark One]

Is EC3 good... seems like a "Randy Orton-type"... aka not good...

Didn't see much of him in TNA, but I think the general consensus is that he's pretty average in the ring, but a killer character and mic worker, so his charisma and ability to drag the audience in can cover up a lot of that, maybe.

[Triple A]

Piercing blue eyes on Adam Cole...

[Dark One]

Really excited to see how Adam Cole's corpse does in the tag team title match later.

[Dark One]

Does The Godfather know that Velveteen Dream broke into his room or no

[Triple A]

My man Lars Sullivan............

[Dark One]

My man Lars Sullivan............

You like them curvy ladies.

[A.J.K]

Looks like they are having some tron issues.

[Droford]

maybe they should drop "From Paducah Kentucky" for Ricochet..just saying

[Fignuts]

Ricochet theme seems cool

[Dark One]

Just gonna leave this here.

[Evil Vito]

I'm stoked as fuck for this match/show.

[Triple A]

Sweet

[DaveWadding]

Really bad "This is awesome" chant before anyone even touches each other.

[Lock Jaw]

Can't stop thinking the teacher/principal from the cartoon show "Mucha Lucha" saying "Rrrrrrrricochet!"

[DaveWadding]

I have missed Rick O'Shea.

[Dark One]

Really bad "This is awesome" chant before anyone even touches each other.

Yeah, how dare a crowd be hyped for a crazy ladder match on Wrestlemania weekend.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'll be shocked if Cole doesn't take home the N.A. gold and Baszler doesn't take the Women's Championship from Moon.

[DaveWadding]

Yeah, how dare a crowd be hyped for a crazy ladder match on Wrestlemania weekend.

I'm just not sure what was awesome about them all staring at each other.

[Dark One]

Vince McMahon probably planning on booking EC3 in the next six Wrestlemania main events after he saw his look.

[Droford]

humongous hominid

[Lock Jaw]

Ricochet almost killing himself on his first dive. Seems good.

[Dark One]

Gonna be honest, if Killian Dain came flying through the ropes at me, I'd probably die via shitting out my soul before I died from being crushed.

[Evil Vito]

Strap a rocket to Richochet

[Dark One]

Strap a rocket to Richochet

Why? He can already springboard to the moon.

[Evil Vito]

There's the mandatory tower of doom spot that happens in every multi-man match.

In other words, be ready to see 500 of them tomorrow.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LJ now officially into this match after Mauro has screamed "TOPE SUICIDA!" at the top of his lungs.

[A.J.K]

LJ now officially into this match after Mauro has screamed "TOPE SUICIDA!" at the top of his lungs.

he hasn't said MAMMA MIA! yet.

[Droford]

dain running into the ladder was stupid looking

[Droford]

[Evil Vito]

Superkick Party :D

[Simple Fan]

Adam Cole Bay Bay

[Fignuts]

Why? He can already springboard to the moon.

And into a superkick apparently

[DAMN iNATOR]

he hasn't said MAMMA MIA! yet.

Doesn't have to. Jaw told me in confidence that he loves the Spanish call for a suicide dive when Mauro shouts it. Gets him more hype than The Hype Bros.

[Dark One]

I feel like Dream could probably elbow drop somebody all the way in the Superdome from here right now.

[Dark One]

Doesn't have to. Jaw told me in confidence that he loves the Spanish call for a suicide dive when Mauro shouts it. Gets him more hype than The Hype Bros.

More hype than AAA for a Shield vs Bar match?

[My Final Heaven]

I can't suspend my belief enough to forget that a puny motherfucker like Cole wouldn't be immediately murdered by somebody who looks like Dain or Sullivan.

He's really good at saying his name I guess.

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL WWE 2K18 ladder moment.

[DAMN iNATOR]

More hype than AAA for a Shield vs Bar match?

Yes.

[Evil Vito]

Dream's elbow drops are a thing of beauty

[DaveWadding]

Jesus Christ, Dream.

[Dark One]

If Dream was a real man, he would have grabbed the belt on the way down and THEN elbow dropped Lars Sullivan back into the dungeon he came out from.

[My Final Heaven]

Pulling for Dream or EC3! Cmon!

[Droford]

Adam Cole and EC3 the match you never knew you wanted

[My Final Heaven]

Damn, quit putting words in the wrestler's mouths, Mauro

[DAMN iNATOR]

Thought Dream's gimmick was supposed to be some '70s guy persona, but his tights suggest otherwise.

[My Final Heaven]

Cole going for the top rope sleeper! The power lurking in those 14in Pythons!

[Evil Vito]

Holy fuuuuuuuuuck

[DaveWadding]

Damn Rick

[DAMN iNATOR]

Did Lars just do the World's Strongest Slam?

[My Final Heaven]

So I take it Rick O'Shea is your bog standard flippy trampoline act Indy guy

[Droford]

jesus christ at that DVD on the ladder

[Dark One]

RIPochet.

[Evil Vito]

This is just plain ridiculous.

[Dark One]

Lars Sullivan is like someone left a wax statue of Braun Strowman in the back of a car in an Arizona summer.

[A.J.K]

Holy Hell. Spent just watching this match.

[Dark One]

Loved the shot behind the announcers showing Mauro and Percy losing their shit at that spot.

Michael Cole would have been sitting calmly saying "Oh my"

[RP]

Velevatine Dream dead.

[My Final Heaven]

WORLD'S STRONGEST ROCK BOTTOM THRU THE LADDER

[Dark One]

"Is it? Could it be? The slam. Oh my."

[Droford]

uh oh

[Dark One]

Velevatine Dream dead.

To be fair, he primarily resides on the ethereal plane anyway.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dream bloody a little just below his left eye.

[Dark One]

Now James Ellsworth strolls down and climbs the ladder while all six are dead, right?

[RP]

Ricochet dead

[Evil Vito]

This is a stacked card yet I still feel horrible for whoever has to follow this.

[Droford]

This ladder match is being contested under table match rules, whoever destroys the last ladder wins

[A.J.K]

Fight Forever Chants.

[Fignuts]

mauro talking about infinity stones ffs

[A.J.K]

Lars is not very liked is he..

[Dark One]

This ladder match is being contested under table match rules, whoever destroys the last ladder wins

Going to assume PWG has at some point--and if not, they should and credit me--had a match where literally every ladder gets broken and they create a cheerleader pyramid to reach the hanging championship.

[RP]

Little too much on the Infinity War comparisons

[DAMN iNATOR]

Now James Ellsworth strolls down and climbs the ladder while all six are dead, right?

And Carmella cashes in on the winner of Moon v. Baszler. :shifty:

[Dark One]

mauro talking about infinity stones ffs

I'll take a dude who crams in absurdly tangential pop culture references but is 3000% into the match over a guy who sounds like he's reading bingo numbers off any day.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Everybody dead now. RIP.

[My Final Heaven]

All 4 guys trying to use The Force to pull the belt down

[Dark One]

Oh jesus, EC3 head whacked the top rope on the way down on that Russian Leg Sweep didn't it?

He dead.

[Dark One]

If Lars Sullivan wins this match, people going to throw trash in the ring like Hogan's joining the NWO again.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I'll take a dude who crams in absurdly tangential pop culture references but is 3000% into the match over a guy who sounds like he's reading bingo numbers off any day.

It's true. You needed O-73 for a bingo and I pulled O-74, giving it to someone else.

[Droford]

ADAM COLE!

[Evil Vito]

ADAM COLE BAYBAY!!!!!

[My Final Heaven]

I'll take a dude who crams in absurdly tangential pop culture references but is 3000% into the match over a guy who sounds like he's reading bingo numbers off any day.

I'll take a guy who crams in pop culture references over JBL screaming dad jokes and threatening to beat up the announcers who disagree with him on SmackDown

[Simple Fan]

Adam Cole Bay Bay

[Droford]

Gonna be Adam Coles night

QUOTED FOR BEING THE TRUTH

[Nicky Fives]

fuck me, what a way to start of Wrestlemania weekend.

[My Final Heaven]

Mr. Kennedy 2.0 takes it. Meh.

[Dark One]

Really cool that the ghost of Adam Cole won a championship. Gonna be real hard to get full body contact on a ghost to pin him, so he may also be the last North American Champion.

[Triple A]

Meh.

ok dude

[Dark One]

Should have been Ricochet followed by Triple H throwing infinite amounts of money and promises to get Neville back to have the greatest series of matches of all time.

[A.J.K]

Exhausted and that was just the first match.

[Dark One]

"NEXT UP: The tag team triple threat!"

Adam Cole: "God fucking damnit."

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What a fucking match. Didn't realise it was 40 minutes long, just flew by.

[RP]

That flying elbow by Dream was amazing .

[DAMN iNATOR]

First-ever NXT North American champion but 4th (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_North_American_Heavyweight_Championship) in WWE history.

[Lock Jaw]

Great match...... I guess I didn't really want Adam Cole to win, though..... probably either 5th or 6th on my list of who I would have wanted......

Velveteen Dream was great tonight

[Jordan]

That was infucking sane!

[Lock Jaw]

Little too much on the Infinity War comparisons

PLEASE TELL HIM HE'S COOL

[Fignuts]

Bayzler is very good at playing her character

[Dark One]

Curious to see if the crowd has much heat for this match after that. The Ember Moon / Baszler story has been okay, but not super hot like most of the other matches.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh good. Show sponsored tonight by 5-Hour Energy aka Heart Attack in a can.

[My Final Heaven]

Shayna channels all the fire + emotion of Ross Geller in her promos!

[Dark One]

Is Ember about to make out with the guitarist.

[Evil Vito]

Is Ember about to make out with the guitarist.

That would be hot, I would pay to see that.

[Triple A]

Don't like the challenger entering second...

[Lock Jaw]

Shayna being completely unattractive really helps her character and persona

[slik]

Piercing blue eyes on Adam Cole...

He has a. Nice butt too

[Droford]

I really dont care about this match and neither should anyone else

[Dark One]

I really dont care about this match and neither should anyone else

The real problem it's a rematch without a stip on one of the two "big shows" that's already got a couple of matches with way more of a blood feud feel.

I think they can still make it good, but it's an uphill battle.

[RP]

Ember Moon dont do it for me.

[A.J.K]

He has a. Nice butt too

He is hot.

[My Final Heaven]

Bazler went to the Pazuzu school of selling

Did all of the NXT superstars pick themselves in a deadpool or something?

[RP]

Did all of the NXT superstars pick themselves in a deadpool or something?

ya.. and these are the sanctioned matches.

[My Final Heaven]

Moon deserves a win here. She's not getting it, but she deserves it.

[Dark One]

Grabbing her own hair to lock in the clutch because her left arm is shot is some amazing storytelling and even bigger props to the announcers for calling it.

Main roster equivalent: "She doesn't quite have all of it."

[Droford]

cant buy ember moon selling with a goofy smile on her face all the time

[Dark One]

Whoever came up with that hair-grabbing spot for the Kirafuda Clutch deserves a huge fucking raise.

[slik]

Booooooo

God Damn it. Green as grass heel gets an extended reign because Smarks shoot their load over sarcastic heels, no matter how awful they are. :-\ Can't wait for Shayna to hold onto the belt in fucktarded finishes for a year+

[Lock Jaw]

Enjoyed that match

Good storytelling

Wanted Ember Moon to fight back and win, though

[Dark One]

unique finish, but terrible spot for it after the high-spot fest before it

Yeah. Surprisingly great storytelling and selling in that match, but with as little heat as the feud was generating--not really their fault but it's been like the same thing for four months--definitely not the right match to put on after like a Wrestlemania X-7 TLC level ladder match.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Incoming reign of terror sense tingling...

[Evil Vito]

Lol @ the preview for this movie simply being a Rock promo

[DAMN iNATOR]

Baszler's theme sucks... Generic ass theme

I can post Brie Bella's theme if you want. :shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

God Damn it. Green as grass heel gets an extended reign because Smarks shoot their load over sarcastic heels, no matter how awful they are. :meh:

I think Shayna has done a pretty good job....... I hope Ronda can do as good of a job with her transition.

[Poit]

I'm just, like... not a fan of Baszler. I want to see more than "I hurt people".

[A.J.K]

Ghost of Adam Cole up next.

[Lock Jaw]

Looking forward to seeing AoP powerbomb some people to hayell

[Dark One]

Gonna get a Dijak debut to take Cole's place or Strong turning, I'd guess.

[Lock Jaw]

What if slik runs in to be Kyle Fish or Bobby O'Riley's partner? (Not sure which one is which)

[Nicky Fives]

Cole gonna get taken out of the match, then come back and steal the victory.....

[Dark One]

What if slik runs in to be Kyle Fish or Bobby O'Riley's partner? (Not sure which one is which)

This sounds like clickbait.

Which means it's perfect for slik.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'm just, like... not a fan of Baszler. I want to see more than "I hurt people".

I mean... when it's legit I think it works.

the ladder match was fun and fucking ridiculous but I've grown to loath multi-man matches. So many spots requiring blatant cooperation. Great performance by all involved but the whole setup takes me out of it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Mauro is grating on my nerves tonight as well... but it's made so much worse by Percy Watson ever opening his mouth. Thank god for Nigel.

[RP]

Pete Dunn looks like someones angry girlfriend

[Nicky Fives]

Roderick Strong does nothing for me..... Great in the ring, but a personality black hole....

[Dark One]

If this was the main roster, the ladder match competitors would have stopped after the double three-man ladder breaks and taken 5 Hour Energy Shots to get back in the match.

[Lock Jaw]

Jeff Jarrett in the house

Roderick Strong does nothing for me..... Great in the ring, but a personality black hole....

At the Brooklyn TakeOvers I went to, they kept just forgetting to put the match on the big screen like 40% of the time... Just had the NXT logo on for a bunch of the show until they "remembered" to put the match on like 11 mins into the matches

That's standard everywhere for every event they do now, NXT or WWE, for what it's worth.

Yeah this is the 3rd match

[Dark One]

Missed most of the show, what matches have happened so far? Just the ladder match and Women's title?

Yeah.

Ladder match was batshit nuts. Women's match had some great storytelling but suffered from being a grounded, psychology match after a batshit crazy ladder match. I'd probably recommend starting with the Women's match before the ladder match if you're going to watch them back later.

[Savio]

Surprised to see Poit out of the tipsters thread.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Strong heel turn

[Dark One]

Gonna get a Dijak debut to take Cole's place or Strong turning, I'd guess.

I AM SHOCKED. SHOCKED I SAY.

Roddy does something interesting!

Roderick Strong turning heel and getting cheered for it

Sort of sounds like Moon-Baszler's first encounter together and if Baszler won, probably going to be the motto for Women's title matches for a while.

Didn't Roderick beat up Kyle O'Fish for a lot of that match, or did he never hit him?

[Droford]

The undisputed era should be named something with the initals ROH

[RP]

that was sneaky Roderick Strong

[My Final Heaven]

It's Heelamania weekend! Can't wait to see Almas snap the streak, & for Gargano to come so-close-but-not-quite-make-it-yet-again!

Undisputed Era vs. British Strong Style at the next Takeover

[Triple A]

Good call @ Dark One

Glad they turned Strong "heel" due to him having no personality really

[DaveWadding]

So looks like Fish is out for awhile....

That typically happens when you tear your ACL, yes.

I tore my ACL this morning and I'm fine

Point just revealed a Shayna Besler t-shirt, #heelturn

I was thinking before the match that Roddy needed a team with someone to find an identity, and I liked the team with Dunne. But Undisputed Era works too.

Someone find a gif of Orton saying "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

[DaveWadding]

Pete Dunne will be interesting as a face. He's such a natural heel because of his impeccably punchable face.

[DaveWadding]

Are they seriously going to put Gargano and Ciampa as the main event?

[DaveWadding]

FUCK YEAH.

I hadn't heard it was a torn ACL, just that he "injured his knee"
