OFFICIAL NXT Takeover: New York Thread
 

Sitting here in my seat. Fucking stoked.

This will be the show of the weekend.

WALTER vs. Dunne.
Gargano Vs. Adam Cole BAY BAY!
Dream Vs. Riddle.
Four-way for the woman's title.

Can't wait for Noid to lose his shit when Triple H "buries" Batista at Wrestlemania and remind us how the TakeOver special was better.

On paper, Riddle vs. Dream looks like the weakest match on the card but probably going to be really great considering the magical wonders of TakeOver.

Holy shit Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel's theme rules.

Time to see if a millionaire will be made.

Fucking Graves

Lmao...AJ Styles got schooled.

Well, he is the most over heel in years.

Genuinely intrigued to see Kushida in the NXT system.

LOL the Spanish announce team gets their own entrance with appropriate music

Wonder if Sarah Logan is one of the Vikings again like at the last TakeOver event.

Kind of crazy that Aleister Black and Ricochet could end up going 0-3 in tag title matches for 3 separate tag belts in a span of a week. All they need to do is challenge for the UK tag belts by Wednesday and they'd complete the cycle in futility.

:lol: at NXT not bothering to add the dumb creaking sound to Black's rise entrance.

Wow the way a large segment of the crowd is singing along with Blacks entrance is kinda awesome. Sent a chill down my spine. Intense.

war raiders aka fat Luke Gallows and Bearded Karl Anderson

stop slamming your own partner, duh

Either the crowd is cheering someone getting kicked out or maybe Kushida got to his front row seat.

This is a pretty good match. All these guys have really good chemistry together.

Holy shit! Rest in peace, Ricochet's back.

hanson running back and forth is the new cesaro swing

That was a pretty good spot. Like the way Ricochet did that fall away slam.

:eek: Ricochet busting out a fallaway slam on Hanson.

lol

humans arent supposed to fold up like chairs

Question....why does the ref ever count when both guys on a team pin someone at the same time? Isn't that an illegal move? Shouldn't the non-active participant be sent out of the ring?

Hansen is a once In a generation talent and they really need to put the time and effort into him and let him shine.

This match is great

630 came half an hour late

keep trying flip and kick connection

What a crazy opener. Ricochet and Black lost their RAW Tag Team, and NXT Tag Team Championship matches this week. Hopefully they win the Smackdown Tag titles on Sunday.

NXT Tag title match was amazing.

What a send-off. Beautiful.

Ricochet super emotional

That was a great match

What was that big cheer for half way through the match and people chanting ‘you deserve it’ and ‘yes yes’ to someone in the crowd.

Did some cunt get ejected from the arena?

Velveteen!

"hes not the best in the world"

nope hes not shane mcmahon

Guess nice of Riddle to rep the Yankees colors for his gear.

Instantly rooting for Dream now ... :lol: at his entrance. This is great.

I’d laugh if they dropped him.

Hahahahahahahaahahahahah Dream's entrance

the american meme

no

Both competitors looking good

lol this entrance

waiting for "vel-ve-ta" chant

The Lady Liberteen Dream lol

Shades of a heel Riddle

That was a crazy suplex. Wow!

Ouch

lol he jumped right into the submission

You called it, this match is incredible.

That suplex over the top rope was insane

Holy shit! Dream pinned Riddle :eek:

Clever ending

This is already the best show I’ve seen live by a country mile.

Riddle vs. Dream was great.

First time seeing Riddle ...
Great match

That was a great match too

Well, scratch that one. I've said it 1,000 times: you're a heel with an undefeated streak, you go for years+ before being beat. You're a face with an undefeated streak, that shit ends. ASAP. NOW.

Turns out it wasn't someone getting kicked out or a surprise star finding his/her seat in the crowd but instead an annoying light WWE had on that they turned off.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">That light is shining directly into the upper deck, prompting chants of “Turn it off”. That huge YES and “You deserve it” chant was because they just turned it off. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NXTTakeOver?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NXTTakeOver</a> <a href="https://t.co/zu3Sld8ZjV">pic.twitter.com/zu3Sld8ZjV</a></p>&mdash; Wrestleview.com (@wrestleview) <a href="https://twitter.com/wrestleview/status/1114306578151280640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 5, 2019</a></blockquote>

Give me..Walter

Batista: thats not right

My first WALTER match ever. This is going to be interesting.

Just nitpicking here, but if NXT UK has its own show, and it's own Network Specials, why is it on NXT Takeover?

Also, I'm looking forward to it very much, but just saying, it's odd lol

I think Dunne's gonna lose

Ye I think he is gonna lose too and then get called up to main NXT.

Boom Brummie boy

WALTER looks a decade younger than his age.

nitpick: WWE United Kingdom Championship?

I always thought it was the NXT UK championship..my bad

That old-timey scheme for the United Kingdom Championship is weird.

Ref is so orange

Yeah. It existed before NXT UK was a thing.

On the preshow AJ Styles said he works 365 days a week, which is a lot of freaking work!

walter is Vladimir Kozlov that can actually wrestle

the walls of walter

The match he had against PCO last year at Janela's Spring Break 2 show was the first one for me. Before that, mostly saw his work via gifs and knowing of his rep for dishing out brutal looking chops.

super coupe de gras

HOLY SHIT at that clothesline by WALTER

Dunne's historic reign comes to an end

WALTER vs Dunne was amazing in its brutality.

Rocket Strappers in the house!

Billie Eilish

Let's go Bianca Belair!

Kairi got some really great height with that elbow drop to Baszler

Wow! Wasn't expecting Shayna to retain. Wow!

Only because they weenied out holding TakeOver on Saturday because they feared ROH & NJPW taking away their bragging rights for trends.

WTF @ Bianca tapping

so over Shayna

well that was..pointless

Women's title match was pretty good overall. Guess Baszler isn't getting called up any time soon.

Also kind of funny all of Baszler's best matches in NXT have involved Kairi in some capacity.

Ross Gellar wins again. They've buried the rest of the division far enough now, that it's not going to mean much of anything when Bazler finally drop the title.

I like how WWE needs to say "in our house" for the hall of fame
