NXT Takeover Orlando: Feel the Roode Vibe

Making the thread now as Regal announced that there will be new belts tonight, so thought it was worth a new thread, but may as well combine it with the event thread.

Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, No Way Jose & Ruby Riot vs. SAnitY

I haven't watched a takeover since Rood's debut so I'm kind of excited to see what they have going on now. Should be good rasslin.

New NXT would be great; the big NXT symbol doesn't really do it for me.

I really like the tag belts though.

Yeah NXT tag team belts are the best looking titles in NXT. They look better than the main roster tag titles. Think the women's championship looks good also. NXT title could use a redesign but we'll see what they do. Please no yellow belts.

Yeah, I like all the belts just fine as they are. Where's the big need to redesign any of them?!

Also, on a side note, I wonder if the Women's tournament later this year will maybe cause enough of an influx of female competitors to NXT that maybe, just MAYBE they could build up a Women's Tag Team division and give them their own tag championship belts...something for the ladies not ready to challenge for or hold the main division belt to shoot for.

Nice of the makers of Heart Attack in a Can to sponsor the show tonight

Who the fuck is this curly haired freak with the weird ass voice?

No Way Jose was taken out by Sanity. They can find a replacement though, so I'm assuming Itami.

Or Ohno actually.

That was the first thing I thought when they said that. Guy might've had 4 years away from the company, but I see lots of untapped potential in him.

I haven't really followed NXT in a while.

Besides Roode Nakamura ,Asuka, Strong, young and Dillinger.

Who should i keep my eye on as far as talent? Opinions please

Seriously though...don't think I've watched a pre-show for a TakeOvet. Who is curly haired guy?

If I don't get an answer, I'll just conclude that he's either Larry Fine from The Three Stooges or Carrot Top's even dorkier little brother.

Authors of Pain (with Paul Ellering) are supposed to be the hotness in the NXT Tag Team division.

OHHHHH NOOOOOOOO
OH NO

Stuck in my head all day

a podcast internet troll

Billie Kay and Peyton Royce gimmick is good imo... good heels

LOD's Old Manager eh? Interesting.

You get ONE. We do not want the Kool-Aid Guy coming in here and ruining the thread.

Thinking about how SlickyTrickyDamon kept posting about how Ember Moon's finisher should be banned and it turned out to just be an angle where Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were being purposefully annoying

I wonder how Charly Caruso looks without makeup. Prob still great.

Yeah, but Asuka's such a badass and easy on the eyes. Honestly, I don't think Ember's got a chance tonight, seeing as how Asuka's already racked up somewhere around 150 wins in NXT and shows no signs of letting up.

I actually feel bad for any woman who has to face her, and interesting enough, tonight is one year exactly for her as NXT Women's champion. Not a lot of competitors in WWE reach a plateau that high as champs... she will obviously blow up huge on whichever brand she's called up to.

Not as "amped" up for this takeover, but looking at the card, this should be a great show. Looking forward to Asuka/Moon just as much as Nak/Roode.

There were reports that whoever of the 2 who was injured it was basically their own fault for landing wrong or something... dunno.

I wasn't for the last one, but Roode/Nak exceeded my expectations and the tag match will likely again steal the show.

Rollins should do a run-in during Triple H's opening speech ... or not.

NXT TakeOver always does the sweet thing where the crowd is dark and they have spotlights on the ring... v dramatic and good

Also they do the ring announcements after the wrestlers enter... good... gives the matches a "big match feel"

Dusty...:'(

Build has been average to meh for hype but like similar Takeovers in the past, the event is probably going to end up being really good overall.

Funny that he says they're "home" but this crowd is probably 95% out of towners.

For the title match they do.

At the last Brooklyn one they did that I was at live, I think they did it for every match, or at least most of them... was really good

Prob start with Almas/Black, right?

Damn, forgot about these two shitty new NXT announcers

Sanity seems like a "TNA stable"... doesn't seem like it has any chance of success on the main roster

At least one thing, the crowd wont be shitty

10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

I think you have to be at least 30 percent tattoo to be at the PC.

OH NO!

Ohno's gear looks a lot better when it doesn't resemble him wearing tighty whities.

Looks like new ring gear for Ohno, TY!!!!!!

Ohnos steam is just some of his fat burning off.

Cant wait for the inevitable KO vs KO match

The set is 'really cool' imo, biggest nxt takeover set ever

:lol:

Like Ohno's mock NBA gear design. Had a '92 Dream Team theme last time.

Saw this on another forum about Sanity: lmao its like tom nook hired a gang of wrestlers

Sacramentohno

yeah. I like it.

Why not Orlandohno

duh

Killian Dane looks like The Berzerker sans shirt and horns.

Not sure if should be mad or happy he changed his name from Damo.

Shave your back chants

Theres no way the Sanity gimmick transfers to a main roster

I am looking forward to the tag team championship triple threat match tonight.

Won't get mentioned, but that was a picture perfect elbow drop, imo.

crazy catfiiiiiiight

Ty works surprisingly well as a face.

EY has the best Elbow.

British guy commentator is s0 low energy

lol at EY flying out of the ring

Hot.

Usually hate 6 or 8 person tag matches but this has been great.

Eric Young with the greatest oversell of all time.

I have a thing for Nikki Cross.

That was a really good mixed tag match.

They were warned but nevertheless they persisted.

And Tye loses one more match.

Tye Jobs Again.

Sounds way too calm although I guess that's his style and neither Percy nor Phillips mesh well with it.

Woo Crispy! Woo Tangy! Woo honey mustard bar-be-que flavor

That was a really fun opener

Nigel McGuiness's commentary needs a little spark, he was decent in ROH though

I would not want to sit behind Edge and Beth the whole night..

Edge and the Glamazon in the crowd.

What's Seth Rogen doing here?

Cien has improved a lot.

I'm in the same boat

MEXICAN RUSEV!

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

He's an analyst, Perry is supposed to bring the energy.

Tom only brings energy to facefuckings.

:rofl:

gimmick infringement

Well.

That entrance was intimidating.

Pretty cool theme and entrance for Aleister.


Yeup, best thing for him was turning heel since the dancer entrance and his debut run as a face was pretty bad.

It's the guy who jobbed to Neville at the UK Tournament show.

This is a hot fucking theme. CCF0$ knocking another one out of the park.

70 percent tattoos. He is cleared to compete.

Cant wait to see this guy vs Baron Corbin on SD

OR

them in a tag team

OR Corbin fired

Black is genuinely interested in Satanism and the occult and it shows in his entrance. Really fascinating to hear him talk about it.

Lana is in the boat.

This match feels sort of like a "big match" (due to the entrances and presentation) even though I don't really care about it...
