Tailgating in the parking lot as we speak. Can’t believe I’m about to go to my second Takeover in a row. Wooooo!

The card looks promising. Really looking forward to the tag team bout and Breeze's return.

Other than a Bullet Club shirt when they went to Hot Topic, I haven’t bought a wrestling shirt in a decade.
That’s not changing today since t-shirts are going for 35 fucking dollars. |

I've bought newly released shirts (WrestleMANia most recently) for $12 on Amazon with prime which was cheaper than WWE Shop

Kinda neat they have a minimal stage setup, but it doesnt feel Takeoverish

I wonder if Matt riddle getting his feet stomped on will ever lead to a storyline where he requires boots

How the hell does wrestling this great exist on Vince's network and he can't figure out how to copy that formula for his shitshows?? It is truly baffling.

Considering this was originally meant to be in San Diego, probably didn't have an extra date available at Full Sail for this month. They can only go there once or twice a month and have to schedule those dates in advance.

Does anyone else find it harder to care about NXT because they know the main roster is going to stomp everyone into the ground? Serious question.

I'll probably tack down Dream vs. Breeze and Baszler vs. Shirai later. The Ladder Match could get my attention later if I hear that it absolutely blows other Ladder Matches out of the water (from reputable sources).
To be honest, this feels like a very slapped together and amateurishly pieced together card for a Takeover. Maybe it's just because Cole and Gargano had the 2/3 Falls last time and now they're working back to regular matches? |

And look at him now, sits in the dark and talks, but never fights, while we are all supposed to forget he was in a random at team with Ricochet for 3 months first. Also, yeah you probably should watch this ladder match. They are all on the gas full throttle and it's pretty incredible. |

Holy shit at these ladder spots. Already more brutal than the Men's MitB match last month.
