NXT: Takeover Chicago II - The Seceret of the Ooze
 

Official Thread.

I haven't watched NXT weekly since the a few weeks after the last one.... seems like I missed some good stuff based on these hype packages.......

Gargano/Ciampa with a good package

Hyped for the match now

I am really looking forward to Ricochet/Dream

Thank Goodness

Vic Joseph is great

Forgot no Mauro tonight due to some other commitment calling like some boxing card or some BS. :(

Yo i want my finger to rest in Liv Morgans shitty asshole for a week straight and then i want to walk around sucking on my finger like a baby.

Lol, I just looked up Vic Jospeh. He looks like Corey Graves' younger brother.

I guess Oney/Burch have been getting a push? They were both pretty much jobbers last time I saw them....

You know you miss his screaming and over-the-top dated references.

Bunch of generic looking dudes opening the card and the crowd still into it......

"Fuck, Let's Do This" chant to kick off NXTTakeOver

Chicago is going to eat parts of MITB alive tomorrow lol

He has less attitude than Cory.
He is more a enthusiastic version of Tom Phillips.

Thought they were chanting "UN-DIS-PUTED"

Might give this one a miss. I'm curious to see Gargano/Ciampa and Dream/Ricochet, but for some reason I just don't want to go out of my way to find a stream for them. I'm warming up to Adam Cole. There's something about him, but The Undisputed Era weird me out for some reason.

Kyle O'Reilly has a nice ass

God, if that was what the crowd was actually chanting, I am glad I am not watching. :lol:

Oh maybe they were

My bad!

Orney Lorcan hit hard on the outside of the ring but he seems to be ok

Adam Cole Ejected BAYBAY

weak ass single crab

What a fantastic tag match, wow

Good match, I guess...... but wasn't really invested in it..... maybe from not watching NXT and not knowing Oney/Burch story..... and also from the fans cheering the heels and booing the faces......

Ricochet vs Dream is next <3

OMG i had no idea Velveteen Dream was the annoying black guy on Tough Enough.

Hulkateen Dream

Hollywood Hulk Dream

Wish Mauro was here...

Can't stop thinking the teacher/principal from Mucha Lucha saying "Rrrrricochet!"

LOL Dream

Ricochet cool entrance..... still think he would be better with a mask

O'Reilly & Strong are geeks to me. I just can't take them seriously, which is a shame, because they both so desperately want to be "serious rasslers." Every time Strong is wrestling, it's like I can see the gears turning as he is trying to have a "good match" for 2005 ROH fans. I don't know how else to explain it. He tries so, so hard -- but when you can see the effort it kind of defeats the point. I dunno.

I love Danny Burch. Salty fuck, haha. Good to hear he made a Takeover. Would like The Revival to come down and work with him and Lorcan.

Me too dude... sucks.

Nerds..... doing the Hogan/Rock thing.......

Dream wearing Prince Puma tights

F*** Mauro

Why!

Weird @ Dream doing Hogan, but commentators not acknowledging Hogan at all........ surprised they let Dream do this at all.....

TBF, if you really did say that to him you deserved to be blocked. Very mean-spirited, dude.

Those two spots are pretty good. That fucking flip-bump onto the apron though. Is that advised?

Wax in your ears?

I know the PERFECT mask.

Wadding Dream's tights look like Prince Puma to me!!

that suplex

After Dream was posting Prince Puma shit on the Twitter machine, it's definitely a call back.

Earned a holy shit chant which is pretty funny. I thought the Death Valley Driver off the 2nd was way more brutal.

Feel like this match needs to be more...fluid

Like, it's not bad or anything, but something isn't entirely connecting for me -- still a big fan of both

This is an excellent match.

Damn, remember when the DVD was a finishing move?

It's getting stronger as it goes on though

Okay, watching a stream. Dream's got a sick DDT.

too much in too short a time

Holy shit Rick. That was a LONGGGGG SSP

Good match..... was rooting for Velveteen Dream to win, though.....

VD is fucking money. Such a good fucking performer. Just get out of his way.

He always does something to make his matches stand out. I just want to surrender to my fandom of him.

He also has a really cool entrance!

Just tuned in to see Dream losing. Give that man some wins.

Like how he always has a "story"..... like this match he was concerned with "one upping" Ricochet and "doing anything he could do better".....

Both Ricochet and Velveteen Dream are going to be huge stars on the main roster one day (imo) - unless Vince doesn't 'get them'

Holy shit, Nigel McGuinness actually adds insight at the commentary booth.

This. He seeps actual personality and organic elements into everything he does.

H8 Bezler

Rick O'Shea is pretty straight forward. The Velveteen Dream gimmick is DOA on the main roster though.

This is my first time seeing Shayna Baszler.

I've got a feeling that Nikki Cross is going to be called up after tonight.

She's a good heel in the sense that I dislike her b/c of her antics

I like Shayna.

Same..that's why they delayed Sanity getting on tv

I want Dakota Kai to be the one to take the title from Shayna.....

I like how they're getting to this match, but you can see that the greater story is Baszler vs. Evie or whatever her WWE name is.

That's her name.

Also that she is not attractive at all really plays well into her bully heel gimmick......

Really h8 that Kairi Sane won the MYC last year, and they show her sitting in the crowd, while they're pushing the loser as the champion.

Crowd actually booing Shayna. Wow. I know it's ironic, but I'd take that over ironic cheering.

I can see Ricochet getting some main event moments on the B brand but Dream's ceiling just seems low because he's gonna be treated like a gimmick and the fact that he can go in the ring will be secondary. The fact that he's a glorified jobber on NXT already is a bad sign.

Ouch @ knee

Nikki Cross isn't subtle.

Yeah, they think they can book him like trash and it'll still work. He'll be doing comedy segments with Goldust and R-Truth.

I heard Baszler looked odd bumping. That was correct, haha.

beach ball distracting the crowd

Nikki Cross really does play the crazy role quite well.

Well that was stupid

Damn. Cross smiling maniacally before passing out. That was my ending for Wyatt vs Cena at WrestleMania a few years ago. And for Wyatt vs Taker a couple years later.

Basically, Bray Wyatt should have gotten that finish in a match he had to lose back when he was credible.

They've tried to get too cute with Nikki Cross. I get what they tried to achieve there, and it was fine. They got away with it this time, but it wasn't as effective as it should have been.

Alright, a bit overboard with the smiling though. It's comical now. Calm down. lol

Keith Lee baby............

Lol, yeah. It's way too much.

I want to see Baszler vs Rousey. Workhorse vs the golden girl

KEITH FUCKING LEE, BAY BAY
