This starts in 15 minutes and I have nothing else to do, so let's do this shit! I haven't watched NXT in weeks.

Every time I try to watch NXT 2.0 I have only made it like 10-20 minutes...

Going to give this ppv a shot tonight tho

Potentially the last night for Johnny NXT and Kylo Riley

If nothing else, I'm looking forward to Io Shirai doing something incredible, terrifying and unnecessarily risky, because she's the best wrestler in the world and she can.

Triple A's favorite wrestler Von Wagner in action tonight

Ok I’ll watch

Eli Drake turning on the old boys

I guess I'll try to watch some...

Steiner Jr has a Goldberg tattoo

Finally Sam Roberts can shut the fuck up.....

This pre show is garbage, which I guess they all are so whatever.

Io opening is good. Can turn off any time after.

The woke heel is real bad

War Games cage looks huge in tiny Performance Center arena

vic joseph's voice doing me head in as always... idk why... gives me a feeling like I need to throw up

Cora Jade falling off her skateboard 3 seconds in...

why did they give Cora a skater gimmick, all the comments I ever see about her are she looks like she hasn't skated before nxt

Donut understand why they keep forcing that poor girl to use the pointless skateboard gimmick that serves no purpose.

Beth's retirement show

Gigi Dolin is the Walmart version of Jamie Hayter.

Dakota Kai hot

Gigi Dolin hot...

Supposedly the Kai/KLR match a couple of weeks ago was good. Might go back and watch it. A title worthy feud.

Any time Wade Barrett tries to say something Vic Joseph interrupts him to yell "OOOOH!"

Damn, this arena looks like shit... makes the show feel really "low rent" and just seems very bleak and depressing... they really should try to return to "real" arenas for future "TakeOvers"

agreed

Fans bullying Cora Jade, chanting "You can't skate"

Gigi easily the best person in this match besides Io... idk why AEW didn't sign her

Gigi and Dakota teamwork spot, nice

Io Shirai the one true wrestling God

Cora Jade, wow

That is what happens when you want a bunch of young barely trained wrestlers, they injure themselves.

Ok, maybe not injured since Io popped it back in for her lol

this match isn't very good

Just wait until Mandy Rose gets here

this is a mess

tbh, I don't think they would be showing replays on this if she was hurt, but Idk.

Didn’t like that

triple a marking out r/n for von wagner

Ron Wagner looks pretty generic and tall

That sums up his skillset very accurately

Imperium seems good

Wish Lars Sullivan was in this match instead of Von Wagner

damn @ Aichner... doing a bunch of cool moves

Hey I’ll tell ya what, that match was pretty tits. Jon Wagner seemed good. Raw but good.

devious heel turn by KOR

That match was good... Aichner seems like he rules

What was that... did Von Wagner try to turn on him first or did O'Reilly attack him first... was half paying attention and looked like Von Wagner tried to clothesline him first

Crowd chanting for Kyle, Son Wagner tries a heel turn, Kyle counters and throws up a UE sign

Excited for Dynamite this week

you are right @ Triple A

Hope Duke Hudson wins this

Kinda enjoying this show so far more than any main roster PPV in the past 1-2 years I think...

Duke Hudson has a great ass

not sure this is a ppv-level match tho

Duke Hudson to show up Tuesday with a 'comedic' wig

Was v sure that Grimes was due to lose via already cutting his hair shorter

Match really picked up after the poison rana spot.

Clippers do not work too well with wet hair!

I like how they are just running all the new NXT 2.0 vignettes from the last 2 months back to back to back tonight lol

I feel like Gacy/Strong should be good

Joe Gacy so over the top it makes it hilarious.

R.I.P. Cruiserweight Title

Welcome the All Inclusive Championship Era!!!

I never really thought of Roddy as a Cruiserweight either, but maybe that's just me. If they want to keep pushing this, I'd like to see him face Drip King Escobar.

Gacy seems strong on the mic and sort of generic in the ring so far

Joe Gacy seems like a Great Value Kevin Owens

Woke heel is not good in the ring.

Damn, idk why they didn't do this... Cruiserweight division/205 Live has been dead for a long time...

Vince must have just caught up to the early 2000's and learned about Kobayashi winning eating challenges, so naturally he gave Ikemen Jiro a "eat a lot" gimmick lol

Yeah, not sure at all. It would certainly be much more interesting.

If he's supposed to be their new bray cult leader gimmick it followed the bray routine, solid promos to a build a match followed by a decisive clean loss

I think that the ideal ending to this match is Gargano turning uber heel on Tommy Champs and then having the absolute very last Gargano/Ciampa match in Hell in a Cell

I love that LA Knight is considered old school NXT since he has only been there since February of this year :rofl:

Yeah, pretty funny to me too.

stealing that for twitter @ xrod

Gargano getting a send off with his old theme

Johnny Wrestling soon to be #AllElite

Carmelo Hayes the most impressive guy in NXT 2.0 for me so far.

You ignorant sluts

Johnny NotaTakeover doing big things already

You probably right.

Waller seems sort of green to be in a main event

I like Carmelo, Tony and Bron tho

The crowd chanting Black and Gold :lol:

There goes Lance being serious for a moment again :rofl:

EXPOSING THE BUSINESS!!!

No Air Raid Crash from the top of the cage so far. Thank God.

wild table spear

Seeya on TNT, Johnny

Good main-event

Wow, pretty much everyone on the net are saying these new guys put on a better ppv than anything AEW did this year. Like a 9.2/10.

R.I.P

I'm about to wreck 2 different narratives, here.

1. Maybe this is crazy, but maybe signing guys that are working on personalities is a good thing? Maybe getting larger wrestlers is a good thing?

2. Everyone swears that Goldberg only had 2 moves. Bronn Breaker's finish was one of the other power moves he did.

You aren't wrecking anything lol.

The current nxt wrestlers are not larger wrestlers, they are still mostly the same size as they have been for years. Bron Breaker would look tiny next to Goldberg. He's 6 ft tall and 230 lbs. I swear the hoops some people will jump through...

Glad Grimes won the hair match. Wasn't really particularly interested in the rest of the show.

Spider-Man is my favorite example of how dumb wrestling fans are who want everyone to be 7ft tall and 300 lbs. I get when you were a kid everyone was larger than life to you but you have to grow up and move past that.

Everyone loves Spidey and he's a guy who's probably 5'6" and 165 lbs. No one complains about this because they recognize it's fictional entertainment.

2 notes:

1. "Larger than Life" is something that "smart marks" thinks mean Physically large. "Larger than Life" is actually a reference to a huge personality. The Rock's personality is "Larger than Life." Daniel Bryan, peak "Yes Movement," had a "Larger than Life" personality. Use the terms correctly.
2. When I said "Larger," I didn't mean height. Bronn is jacked as fuck. He looks like a bigger man than the indy darlings, similar heights aside. Another example: Vader was 6'5". Lex Luger was 6'6". would you say Luger was larger?
3. Really telling that you went after the size issue, but not the personality or the fact that Goldberg had more than 2 moves. Just saying. ;)

You didn't say "Larger than Life"

As for personalities, who are you claiming doesn't have one?
Also, I don't think Goldberg's moveset is the hill to die on you think it is.
Bron Breaker wouldn't look any more jacked than Chad Gable on the main roster. I like Chad Gable and I also like Bron Breaker. Again, why do you need him to be 'more jacked' to enjoy watching him?
