Really want those match titles to be under the picture instead of above them.... messing me up.....

Haven't watched NXT in ages.... "lol" at Kyle O'Reilly main-eventing....

GD 10-04-2020 03:31 PM

I've been maintaining this format forever :o

Lock Jaw 10-04-2020 03:33 PM

And it bothers me every time.... just never bothered to say anything

Card looks good and the show itself should be great although that's now 3 TakeOvers in a row with no Tag title match.

NXT and Triple H starting to feel like Vince when it comes to how they've been treating their tag title belts and division in recent months.

Fignuts 10-04-2020 04:26 PM

Good card. Particularly interested in seeing Kyle O'Reilly get a singles match with some time on it. And against Balor no less. Should be fire.

XL 10-04-2020 04:40 PM

Hmmm. I’d say it’s the weakest card on paper that NXT have put out in a long while, maybe ever.

slik 10-04-2020 05:01 PM

I will give this a watch

Finn really hot

DaveWadding 10-04-2020 05:19 PM

Swerve/Escobar probably gonna be match of the night.

Breezango are the tag champs so its an even bigger joke

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 06:51 PM

Ever since the belts got taken off of Undisputed Era and Pete Dunne couldn't travel because of coronavirus issues, NXT pretty much gave up on the idea of booking a good tag division.

Breezango getting the belts ended up being done solely to squeeze more juice from their feud with Legado Del Fantasma.

slik 10-04-2020 06:52 PM

ugh at dream being on the card

The Broserweights seems like a fever dream I had 5 years ago.

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 07:04 PM

The new stage for NXT looks nice.

Not a fan at all of them actually bringing in a live crowd considering they only recently just came out of another outbreak at that PC. Might even have more people there right now than they did before.

xrodmuc316 10-04-2020 07:05 PM

Love this dude's theme music.

slik 10-04-2020 07:11 PM

I think the 'Capitol Wrestling Center' looks better than the 'Thunderdome' tbh

Both louder and more intimate.

Yeah. At least in terms of the virtual crowd, having them all lined up on the wall instead of cascade style like with the ThunderDome looks better on tv.

Problem with the ThunderDome is the crowd looked good in certain cam angles and really bad in others because of the layout they went with.

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 07:24 PM

NXT needs to dial back on the fake crowd audio since its just drowning out the real crowd reactions and at times, even the action in the ring.

slik 10-04-2020 07:25 PM

The Capitol Wrestling Center has a grittier feel to it than Raw Underground ever has

Also I GREATLY appreciate that Kevin Dunn's does not appear to have control over the camera cuts

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 07:26 PM

NXT title match was very good overall.

One of the better openers to a TakeOver in recent times.

xrodmuc316 10-04-2020 07:27 PM

Priest has always been real good, but the last 6 months or so he has been incredible. That was a damn good opener.

Can't tell if Dream suddenly aged like 20-30 years or someone dunked his head in a bucket full of baby powder.

xrodmuc316 10-04-2020 07:38 PM

Wait, so Dream dressed up as Doc Brown, the grown man that hangs around with a high school boy???

I mean, they are ribbing us right :rofl::rofl::rofl:

slik 10-04-2020 07:42 PM

Kushida looks good in jeans

slik 10-04-2020 07:44 PM

someone told me the surprise return will be

SPOILER: show

Ember Moon

It's the chain link fence they're using

Doc Brown vs Marty McFry

Now we need a biff For Marty to wrestle

DaveWadding 10-04-2020 07:46 PM

Suplex into Hoverboard lock was very cool.

If that is true, I'll mark out for sure, one of my faves.

Droford 10-04-2020 07:47 PM

Surprised Kushida won

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 07:48 PM

Dream vs. KUSHIDA was pretty good although it also dragged on way too long.

Even the fake crowd audio stopped reacting to the match at times.

Droford 10-04-2020 07:50 PM

Its a shame WWE and Lego aren't a thing

I'd play WWE Lego game

xrodmuc316 10-04-2020 07:50 PM

Halloween Havoc, nice!

Droford 10-04-2020 07:51 PM

Lol so NXT gets a non takeover ppv in 3 weeks?

Droford 10-04-2020 07:51 PM

Maybe NXT World War 3 next month

...

Do they have 60 wrestlers?

Might be War Games

NXT Souled Out in January with a gargano title match

Emperor Smeat 10-04-2020 07:53 PM

:lol: at WWE bringing back more past WCW show names just to try to pop ratings for NXT and likely rub more salt in Cody's face.

GD 10-04-2020 07:55 PM

That's a boss entrance right there.

Droford 10-04-2020 07:56 PM

Escobar needs mariachi music
