Fully expected this takeover to be maybe the worst one yet but it’s actually been quite good with a nice variety of matches.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

I love Keith Lee but he's one of those wrestlers I feel definitely works much better with a live crowd (a real crowd, not Performance Center hostages).

That's definitely part of it but he also looks kind of winded and off-balance, like he took that DDT bump more like he was collapsing than bumping.

Same with Drew McIntyre. I think live crowds would have eaten up his title reign, but instead he was stuck with exhausted hostages being told exactly how to react and when.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Just watched the UpUpDownDown championship belt thingo on Youtube.

And the fact that WWE can't find a higher spot on the card for someone as entertaining and charismatic as Tyler Breeze is a damning indictment on how poopy they are.

Also, does I had a cursory look for Left Right Left Right T-Shirts and couldnt find anything. Does anyone know where/if I can buy them?

NXT Takeover XXX 8/22:
  • Detailed Results here.
  • On the pre-show, Breezango defeated Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch and Legado del Fantasma to become Number One Contenders to the tag team titles.
  • Finn Balor defeated Timothy Thatcher in a singles match.
  • Damian Priest defeated Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Johnny Gargano and Velveteen Dream in a Ladder Match to win the vacant NXT North American Championship. Candice LeRae interfered to try and help Johnny Gargano to no avail.
  • Adam Cole defeated Pat McAfee in a singles match. McAfee was apparently extremely impressive considering it was his first match.
  • Io Shirai (C) defeated Dakota Kai to retain her NXT Women's Championship, despite interference by Raquel Gonzalez.
  • Postmatch, Gonzalez attacked Io Shirai, but was confronted by Rhea Ripley and backed down.
  • NXT UK returns on September 17th. Tommaso Ciampa returns on Wednesday.
  • Karrion Kross defeated Keith Lee (C) to become the new NXT Champion.
  • The 30th Takeover - once a universally beloved event - didn't even get its own thread. Show discussion starts here.

that was less a bad match and more of a baffling one. what the gently caress is kross's gimmick? is he satan? was his satan power somehow convincing lee to set up for a rope move that he could effortlessly be countered out of? that match made no loving sense

I feel the same way about Drew. I think in front of a live audience Drew would be getting a really good reaction. He's been one of the best faces the WWE has had in years.

Brasky used to ride upon a steed, perchance to spy a lady.

Only one successful defense for Keith.

Io being upstaged immediately after winning.

45 days was the length of Keith Lee's reign. And now he looks like an idiot for giving up the NA belt too.

They should have had Lee/Kross open the show so a titleless Keith Lee could stand staring forlornly at the ladder match for the vacant NA Title.

This is one of the biggest weaknesses in the NXT->WWE pipeline right now, Keith Lee was white-hot earlier this year and they did the right thing and put a rocket on him, and then they gradually took his cool stuff away, and then they had him look like a doof on the south side of a completely random feud, and now he's just gotten his rear end completely kicked and looks like a loser, and now that 100% of his momentum is gone, this is the most pragmatic point atwhich he can be called up to the main roster.
