NXT title match has been good soo far but nothing special as well. Their 2-out-of-3 falls at the last TakeOver was way more entertaining by this point.

Shayna goes down to a "freak injury" (translation - "We don't want to give someone the rub of beating her! Heels who never lose are money!"), Vacates the belt and goes up to the main roster. It's going to be so sweet watching her job to Carmella & Alicia Fox after that :love:

xrodmuc316 06-01-2019 09:36 PM

ADAM COLE BAYBAY!!!

Emperor Smeat 06-01-2019 09:38 PM

:eek: Cole actually won.

Main event was pretty great overall, especially once it kicked into the next gear.

Event itself was really good but wouldn't put it among the upper tier of TakeOver shows.

My Final Heaven 06-01-2019 09:48 PM

2 title matches, 2 downer endings with the sarcastic heel soundly beating down & embarrassing the underdog face.

Right now, the guy who writes for the Bleacher Report is doing cartwheels around his living room.

Droford 06-01-2019 09:55 PM

Lol @ shayna face standing behind hhh during his pretakeover speech in brooklyn

Riddle vs Strong
Tag Ladder match
NXT title match

North American and Women's title matches were not terrible but also not near the quality of those 3 matches.

Lock Jaw 06-01-2019 10:58 PM

Starting to watch this now.... Still hate everything about Matt Riddle's character and look and still think he should have turned heel, but he is freakin' sweet in the ring......

Droford 06-01-2019 11:04 PM

good point on twitter

Elias should have showed up at takeover with the 24/7 title but not let in cause he was kicked out

Evil Vito 06-01-2019 11:11 PM

God that was fun

Lock Jaw 06-01-2019 11:14 PM

Strong/Riddle a great opener.... maybe Strong's best singles match I've seen. (I still don't think he really has a future as a singles guy, but he was great in this)

Evil Vito 06-01-2019 11:16 PM

Sitting in the arena I knew Cole was winning once I realized Britt Baker and his family were in the front row

Evil Vito 06-01-2019 11:28 PM

This might be the smallest Takeover topic ever.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - though it’s generally hard not to enjoy live wrassling

Some people are still marks. These are the same people who believe that Brock Lesnar can't work.

They've got to put themselves into everything, don't they?

Good point until you realise that Elias isn’t the 24/7 Champion?

Jordan 06-02-2019 05:01 AM

That ladder match was incredible.

GD 06-02-2019 07:07 AM

I genuinely don't understand folks who boo Johnny Gargano.

Evil Vito 06-02-2019 11:33 AM

Watching the ladder match back. You can’t really get the sense of the lighting when you’re there in the arena but they did a great job of masking the fact that it’s really quite a small venue. Small enough that they took it out of their TV taping rotation 6-7 years ago.

DaveWadding 06-02-2019 05:55 PM

Really enjoyed this show. Riddle / Strong would have main evented any other promotion in the world. Tag ladder exceeded my expectations. O'Reilly was the MVP. Dream / Breeze was good. I'm over Shayna Baszler and her having the same match at every Takeover. Cole/Gargano was insane and I marked out a bunch of times.

xrodmuc316 06-02-2019 07:03 PM

AEW Marks will be mad, but this Takeover was better than Double or Nothing, and $40 cheaper.

I don't know if this makes any sense to you this was a better show but AEW just felt really really good

DaveWadding 06-02-2019 09:23 PM

Double or Nothing was great, but Takeover was just a more satisfying show to me overall.

They have had more time to build stories, I will reserve judgement until they start on TNT in the fall.

SlickyTrickyDamon 06-02-2019 09:45 PM

That was a great Takeover BAY BAY!

I'm in the opposite. Both were great shows but I'd give the edge to Double or Nothing for overall enjoyment.

Felt TakeOver's top 3 matches were more cohesive than DoN's Top 3 in terms of entertainment but Double or Nothing was better overall as a whole.

SlickyTrickyDamon 06-02-2019 10:03 PM

I would have had Cody/Dustin close the show if that gusher was planned.

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 10:50 PM

Alright! Something came up last night and I couldn't finish watching this.... gonna pick it up again now

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 10:56 PM

(The) Street Profits partying with green t-shirt guy.... didn't think that guy had emotions that deep.....

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 10:58 PM

Love Oney Lorcan theme.....

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:09 PM

"OH MY GOD THEY KILLED KYLE" - Mauro killing another moment

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:22 PM

Wow, was not expecting (The) Street Profits to win. Fun match.

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:25 PM

Velveteen Dream vs Tyler Breeze time.... most excited for this one

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:31 PM

Something weird going on with the camera's framerate.......

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:33 PM

Amazing how just being in NXT environment makes Tyler Breeze seem like a "deal" again, and the fans actually care about him

Lock Jaw 06-02-2019 11:47 PM

Great match.... dreading the day when Velveteen Dream gets called up.....

Supposedly NXT used a different production setup for this show because of them not having access to WWE's main PPV event stuff and also currently experimenting with some new stuff for the brand and WWE itself.

This is why I feel the way I feel. I was already invested in the stories being told on NXT.

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 12:09 AM

Women's match was good too.... Really like Shayna, but I am getting a bit tired of her reign.... appreciate that she is the one heel who actually gets booed though.....

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 12:15 AM

Oh my..... what the hell is this terrible rapping for Adam Cole....... this is terrible.....

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 12:16 AM

That was one of the worst things I have ever heard

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 12:20 AM

Gargano getting booed? Are they in Adam Cole's hometown or something?

GD 06-03-2019 12:27 AM

Johnny Wrestling got boos at the last TakeOver event as well.

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 12:56 AM

Was not expecting Johnny Gargano to lose on his first defense.... I admit while watching him in this match I was thinking that he is much better chasing the champ than actually being a champ.... (Though maybe if he actually had his moment at Mania vs. Ciampa I would have been more into him as champ)

Still not a huge fan of Adam Cole... wow, the Panama Sunrise move looks like s***..... I think he will make a good champ as the "head of a heel stable" type.... (even though the NXT fans will cheer him).....

I'd give match of the night once again to Velveteen Dream

SlickyTrickyDamon 06-03-2019 01:11 AM

"Broddy" was the match of the night.

Technically Johnny is still a tweener, just cause he tricked Tomasso and attacked him wasn't a full face turn.

Mr. Nerfect 06-03-2019 08:40 AM

Lol, Gargano is a face. People are just getting sick of the sad-faced sap gimmick. He probably needs to go somewhere else and freshen himself up a bit. I imagine he might have lost the NXT Title to go to the main roster.

This is my thinking too. He and Ciampa were both up for a week despite the fact that they were scheduled to headline Takeover New York. Then Ciampa got hurt and Hunter was able to convince Vince to leave Gargano down for a couple of more months to pay off his title chase.

Like everyone else, he'll become "just another guy" pretty quickly. That said I'd be down to get a Gargano/Bryan match at some point.

XL 06-03-2019 05:12 PM

I liked the rapping over the UE theme, made Cole’s entrance different given we’d already had the music twice by that point.

Lock Jaw 06-03-2019 05:15 PM

I'm all for making it different, but that was just terrible

Gargano/Bryan would be pretty good. I'd be for Gargano beating Bryan, Bryan seeing the light, and then Bryan turning face to go against a heel Roman Reigns. You know, in Fantasyland.
