graph posted:my cable guide is showing the standard 2h 5m Looks like USA starts at 8pm while Peacock starts at 7pm. So rather than getting the pre-show to tempt you to subscribe for the main thing, they're... doing the opposite? How strange. Tomorrow's is listed as being 4 hours, just on Peacock and not USA. (I have not been following at all so I'm trying to work all this out today, and get the feeling I'll be burned out before Mania even begins, maybe for the best).

It started 15 minutes ago on Peacock but the timeline says it's 1 hour in, and I see they never implemented a way to start from the beginning I see. Glad to see things going very well so far. I'm going to be getting home around 8 so I'll be tuning in for the regular 2 hours anyway, and will just rely on the regular recaps before fights.

He's got a name and a little bit of buzz. They're kinda out of big indie names to have show up at Takeover. Everyone's signed with them or is now in AEW at this point.

Is it just me or is the crowd noise way too high in the mix right now on Takeover? It just sounds like this constant din that drowns out the entrance themes and everything.

Love how awesome the current nxt setup looks with the live crowd behind the cages, utterly ruined by the stupid thunderdome screens. E: the audio cutouts are when they cut to commercials on USA I believe. Lame but eh, at least the web feed doesn’t have the ads.

EL BROMANCE posted:KENTA would like words with you. They're both also warning signs, don't get me wrong, it's all terrible, but you can at least say Shinsuke won a Rumble and had a Wrestlemania showcase and KENTA got a couple title matches and brushes with top-carders out of it. It's still tremendous, inexcusable waste, but there's the barest, slightest morsels you could make a lovely argument for. Kushida was signed a couple years ago now, and in that time, he, uh...he beat Velveteen Dream once? He lost a cruiserweight tournament? They reunited the Timesplitters and jobbed them out instantaneously?

I went for kenta just because he was the first one over, and it just amounted to nothing. Nakamura and Kushida should’ve seen it coming! I’m grateful in their time over here we at least got some fantastic matches.

I believe (not 100% sure) that this is only KUSHIDA's 3rd takeover match and he's been signed for 2 years.

I like Grimes new gimmick of throwing money at guys. Wife seeing Dexter Lumis for the first time: "This guy looks like a Nazi." Le Saboteur fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Apr 8, 2021 |

I thought that Lumis was supposed to be one of their top faces, he only got a reaction after they pumped in crowd sound.

Bronson Reed is cooler than Lumis. Grimes is great though, especially with his new gimmick

Drake only seems to have been brought in to get geeked out to every other guy. I mean someone needs to be a jobber but usually the jobber doesn't get a high profile intro to the brand.
