NXT TakeOver: In Your House
 

Haven't watched NXT in months but this card looks good.

Q: Do people actually buy Kyle O'Reilly as a singles main event star?

I mean, it is NXT so probably yeah if there are fans they would love it.

Seems to me like all the Undisputed Era guys really only had value together as a group.... now the group has come and gone and never even got their time to shine on the main roster....

I don't think of him as a singles guy, but I've not seen any of his run outside of the group.

Solid in-ring competitor, not so great on the mic.

He surprised me when he fought Aleister Black in NXT. That was a stiff match.

whoops

Ember Moon had the perfect presentation, look, gear, music, and now it is all fucked up. It's like they had Kane first and decided to change him to Isaac Yankem instead.

Eli Drake is in nxt huh? I remember Noid hating that guy. Has he been any good there?

No

Yeah, it's fine. He's pretty established now after basically being plucked from obscurity to challenge Balor the first time. They had a great match and the rematch was even better. And obviously breaking up the top faction in NXT is a main event storyline. Cole, Strong, O'Reilly are all just fine as singles wrestlers.

Cuts a shouty, arrogant promo; average in the ring so far. He and Grimes have cut some good promos together though.

The (relatively) new NXT logo is atrocious.

They almost certainly wouldn't have shined on the main roster so no real loss.

Would have shined for like maybe a month tops I think. Which is longer than I can say for as singles dudes

I love Cameron Grimes, he has come so far in the last few months with this gimmick. He is so damn entertaining.

Optimism picking up for tonight's show, it's good to see. Feels good

TODD PETTENGILL!!!!!

Got nothing better to do tonight so I’ll check it out. Hoping for a good show.

This is a fun match so far.

Haven't really watched NXT in awhile but I kinda like this Bronson Reed guy.

Too bad if he ever makes the main roster he'll end up stuck in a comedy tag team with Otis probably.

Fuck how strong is Escobar to be able to pick up Reed and hit the Michinoku driver on him with ease?

That was such good shit.

Weird thing about watching NXT shows now is I can’t really say “when so and so is called up”. They barely called anyone up in the past year, Damien Priest being the main exception.

It feels less like developmental and has for a while. The guys truly “in development” are working at the PC but not often on TV.

Bronson Reed is pretty good.

Clips from Martinez/Xia from the 2017 Mae Young Classic. Didn’t think showing clips that old was allowed. Good to see.

I guess it's time for Mortal Kombat

Xia got a nice bod

Same. Of course I might be a little biased due to his in-ring last name, and his current theme is pretty catchy too.



His ladder match vs. L.A. Knight for the Million Dollar Championship is honestly the only match on the card I care about. Like, I'm sure the rest will be good enough, but MEH.

That was kinda anticlimactic.

Is it me or does Martinez look really awkward when she bounces off the ropes? Looks like she has trouble judging when to bounce and come back off the ropes.

Damn Meng is Xia's manager??? Tonga Death Grip!

Happy for Mei Ying (the former Karen Q). Saw her wrestle on the northeast indies a bunch before she went to ROH/NXT.

She's been out of action for almost 2 years. I bet she's glad to finally be back in the mix.

I have a feeling Grimes is gonna be a star one day. He just has it.

Surprised the ladders aren't gold foiled and over bedazzled in this match. Missed opportunity.

He better grab the title and take it TO THEE MOON!

holy shit

that ddt....ouch

Well I guess there is that gold ladder

Sure, give the belt to the greenhorn who isn't filthy rich... 🙄
