Further comment: I too liked how each fall felt "important" and "like actual matches"..... most of the time in these matches you will have falls that occur where it is like "yeah if this was one fall, no way would that be the end of the match"..... or like anti-climactic first two falls just to get to the one that "matters".....

Watching this week's NXT now. The card for NXT Takeover: Dallas should be confirmed by the end of this episode.

Sami Zayn seems so much more comfortable in front of the smaller NXT crowd.
Mixed reaction to Nakamura vignette, feels like most of the crowd had no idea who he was. I couldn't even figure out what he said entirely either. But damn.. goosebumps even though I knew this was coming. |

Corey Graves is right. Going from Nakamura to Hype Bros is the worst.
Well at least it was a short match. |

Not sure why Eva Marie took the pin, looks like they are protecting Nia Jax as much as possible now. Bayley-Asuka should be amazing if they get a decent amount of time.

Alrighty then, American Alpha vs The Revival for the tag titles. I don't know if these 4 guys will have the same chemistry as Revival/Enzo-Cassady but I am extremely excited to find out.

How awesome was that rolling german suplex Gable busted out? That was the highlight, and so was Aiden's powerbomb on Gable. And yes, the new singlets definitely give American Alpha a Steiner Brothers vibe, which ain't a bad thing at all.
Again, must say the entire show feels like it's been thought through. Graves and Philips do an excellent job weaving stories, entertaining, and calling the action. The show's pacing is rock solid, and not a single minute feels wasted. Must talk about Ciampa's new attitude. Like Graves / Philips said, it seems as if he's dialling the intensity up to 11, but felt he needed a few more big-impact moves in his arsenal to justify the intensity. And Asuka is the female Brock. She's legit, crisp, realistic. Looking forward to Bayley VS Asuka, where Asuka should get the win, thereby enabling Bayley to move up to the main roster. If Asuka wins though, who really can challenge her to make it seem like a fair contest? |

Nobody. You have her get shafted out of the belt. After months of dominating, she loses to Eva Marie after Nia Jax hits her with a leg drops and have Asuka go on a revenge tour.

It was awesome to see Asuka pepper the piss outta Eva Marie (even though she sells like shit - to no one's surprise).
so good |

Ugh.. I still don't care about Elias Samson. One of the commentators went "We don't know anything about him" and he is absolutely right. This is not a good thing months into the gimmick.
Gargano getting a bigger reaction from the crowd too. |

That ankle lock into German suplex was pretty cool. 17 min main event segment w/14 min match for two women is always top in my books.

I don't think Asuka v.s. Emma would ever get old this year, although Emma's gimmick is polished up and ready to go on the main roster.

Don't be so quick there. So far, NXT stars have been put into mid-card hell, for the most part. Neville seems to have been the one who has lost the least amount of screen time, but Breeze (who was/is? over as fook in NXT) was not well received despite having a very solid gimmick. |

Rich Swann proved to me that he could be something in his match with Balor... He's not the biggest guy around, but he has something.... He strikes me as a better Xavier Woods, which is saying something....
