Aleister Black v. Hideo Itami

Haven't watched for weeks..... this seems like a subpar lineup as far as the title bouts go, except for the women's title...... I hope Asuka doesn't lose..... should go to the main roster undefeated......

Will miss watching this live......

It's a pretty good card. Looking forward to watching this tomorrow.

After a main event scene filled with Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Nakamura, etc for the past couple years, a main event with Drew McIntyre does nothing for me. Tag Title match should be a good old school brawl and Black vs Itami should be good. Other than that... meh. Also, Asuka better win.

Pissed I'm not there.

SUSAN!!!!!!!

Should be good. Can't wait for Asuka to murder Ember Moon and Black and KENTA to kick the literal shit out of each other.

Ember Moon probably is going to win. There's an Eclipse coming in 2 days. If not then she debuts on Raw during the day of the actual Eclipse.

Three Ain't Enough.

Yeah, I think Moon takes home the gold. Asuka's had the belt for 505 days, what's left for her to do in NXT?

I'm thinking Asuka is involved tomorrow night (assuming she drops the title tonight) with the SDL Women's Championship, possibly costing Natalya the title and allowing an easy Carmella cash-in.

Also, at the end of that segment with Big E at the table, did they accidentally catch him saying "What the fuck, man!!" Sounded like it, but maybe I was just hearing things.

Wow they mentioned the UK Show match where he beat Tommy End.

What's left for her in NXT? How about not being ruidlned on the main roster.

I dunno, I think whichever show she ended up on would book her like a straight-up badass. I mean, her character is one that basically almost books itself.

Tell that to Tazz.

You haven't seen Raw/Smackdown in years, have you?

Carmella teasing she cashing in tonight against Asuka. Hmmmm

Hey Becky remember when Emma knocked you out and pinned you at Barclay accidentally?

LOL, nope, I only watch every week. Come on, man.

Then the fact that WWE butchering Asuka's main roster run is going to surprise you is baffling. lol

A.) I don't believe the contract is transferable to RAW or NXT, B.) Even IF it was, why force her to go to NXT when she has proven she's main roster material?

Nah, it's baffling you have no faith in creative/the writers because REASONS.

If it baffles you how someone can't have faith in WWE Creative, especially with NXT call-ups, you're not paying attention lol

lol Holy fuck...

lol

Jesus Christ.

How could anyone not have faith in WWE creative?! What fools!

Yeah, I'm just ignorant. :roll:

Excellent use of music. Hate the WrestleMania intermission.

Nirvana sounds great!!

Who is Gargano wrestling?

Almas

Really wish they would fire Nigel McGuiness from play-by-play...very high-pitched/annoying voice

ty smeaty bae!

Johnny Wrestling :love:

Gargano has done a hell of a job to distinguish himself. I remember when he first showed up thinking he couldn't be more generic looking. Cool to see a guy get over by having sweet matches rather than just a cool entrance or gimmick.

Gargano and Almas should be a clinic. I dig heel Cien.

See? You understand.

Not at all, according to you.

Gargano get his upper lip busted? Looked like maybe...

this is a good match

AAA - I hope you have fun!

Almas has basically inherited the Tyler Breeze/Ty Dillenger role and it's amazing.

Pretty much. Him turning heel was probably a last ditch effort to salvage something useful from him in NXT. Sort of like with Itami now.

First Takeover I've watched. Excellent opener so far.
Are the Takeover crowds always this autistic?

Slingshot DDT from Gargano was awesome

Also Mauro still sucks.

FIXED.

Mauro is a classy motherfucker.

They are definitely not afraid to get very loud and express themselves if that's what you're asking.

Wow. Awesome match.

Gargano-Almas match was really good.

The right man won.

She threw a DIY shirt at him!

Takeover crowds are always super-passionate
Takeovers are always good, I can't think of a single bad one since I started watching them a few years ago.

Fun way to start.

I don't follow NXT week to week, just tune into Takeover b/c it always delivers

Really hoping Asuka doesn't lose to Ember Moon...but she prob will

Fun opener

She really needs to go to the main roster with the streak in tact. Give her a fighting chance.

Nikki Cross is going to pee on Paul, hardcore

Rooting for Authors of Pain!

:lol: at another person joining the booth.

Don't see how the tag team match needs the special 4-man booth occasion.

Same.

Pretty much only need to watch the 3-4 weeks prior to a Takeover to get all caught up or only focus on the actual stuff for Takeover.

I feel like Killian Dain wrestling Warbeard Hanson would be some Inception-type shit.

Love Nicky ' s head at the bottom of the screen running back and forth like a loon.

Why are the Authors of Pain dressed as if the Ninja Turtles became members of the Syrian army?

AOP always look fucking terrifying in their ppv masks.

Big ol slobber knocker matchup before us

GI Joes of Pain

You act like you don't see weirder on the streets of Portland everyday.

@Theodius

Is this your first time seeing a lot of these nxt wrestlers in general? Kind of excited 4 you tbh if yes

Hell yeah

Big Damo always makes me think of STD b/c they have similar names!

woah damn inator just repped me with an emoji...when did we gain the ability to do that?

Wonder if the new female ref gets a match on tonight's card.

Big Damo and Slick Damo

Wish I was drinking beers and watching Takeover with Frank Drebin.

AFAIK, you could always use the vBulletin emoji codes in reps, the ones I use are just ones that are included along with my tablet's keyboard in its own section. No idea how long it's been supported, though.

EY's gonna look a bit silly if they lose this match after subbing himself in for the big guy of the group

NIKKI CROSS THE JIGGLY GENIUS

Oh shit! Poor Nikki.

All 3 of them confirmed instantly dead. #SAD

How fun is this? So good.

WOOOOOOOO

Holy shit, good girl

Damn, she just got sandwiched.

Wow! Can't believe AOP lost.

SANITY

Not sure that was a smart idea for saving Nikki Cross. She pretty much got smooshed between two fat guys.

Damn. Didn't think anyone was gonna beat AOP for a while but I'm glad they had Sanity be the ones to do it.

Wow new tag champs.

Match itself was good overall.

A+ absurdity for the finish.

I love this show.

Indian dude takes the bump again.

Wasn't expecting this match to be so fun.

Holy shit!

ReDragon!!!!

Love AOP.

Business just picked up.
