RacistGuidingLight posted:Make a case for Aries/Corbin Corbin's managed to find both a character that works (big timin' athlete who hates the indy darlings that come through NXT) and has improved a LOT in the ring, probably because of working with Joe. Working with Aries could definitely take him to another level because I've seen Aries get watchable matches out of bottom of the barrel talent (worse than Corbin) in TNA.

I put the Nakamura hype video package up on youtube in case any of you missed it on NXT this week. It's awesome and I can't believe WWE didn't put it up somewhere already themselves. One would think they would want to advertise to people who don't know instead of to people who are probably already in the know. Sell the network to non subscribers, ya dummies.

Jenny Angel posted:Oh yeah, agreed 100%. I feel like calling them a throwback is a slight disservice because while they're definitely hugely indebted to the Minnesota Wrecking Crew, etc., they combine that old-school no-frills asskicker approach with contemporary spots in a way that's really fun. Like, they do a flapjack/codebreaker combo as their finisher, that's not exactly 80's wrestling there. quote:The one thing that makes me sad about the NXT tag division right now is that nobody ever calls the names of the tag finishers. Like, Wikipedia tells me that the Revival's finisher is called The Shatter Machine and American Alpha's is called Grand Amplitude, which are both super cool over-the-top names. Is it too much to ask for Young Boy Tom to shout one of those names excitedly? quote:Yeah

sticklefifer posted:80s tag teams always had a devastating double team finisher though. Granted the Codebreaker wasn't in heavy use at the time, but it's an inverted lungblower which has been around a good while longer. Oh sure, I don't mean to imply that those teams didn't have sick finishers. I just feel like catching an airborne opponent with a codebreaker is a little more on the "flashy and athletic" end of a really cool finisher and a little less on the "holy poo poo that guy's dead now" end than, say, a spike piledriver.

I dunno. Rockers, LoD, Demolition, and even Power & Glory had arguably much flashier finishers. Rockers obviously because they were a flashy high flying team anyway, but not so much on the other guys despite all having top rope finishers. I consider Revival's more in the vein of the Hart Attack if anything.

Ticketmaster apparently just (?) sent an email out to ticket-holders saying the show will start at 8:30 local time, so I'm reaaaally hoping that Samson/Crews is going to be taped as a preshow match, even if it's a lame way to get started

last couple shows they announced that stuff pretty far in advance, IIRC. Figured there was a chance they skipped it tonight because it's the same building as Axxess and they have to get it torn down/set up, which is the reason for the late start time in the first place

Hope all the matches that are great on paper live up to their potential. I'm betting at least one will underperform and am hoping Bayley doesn't do the Sami Zayn "constantly sell like a fish out of water" routine. Hell, I'm hoping Zayn doesn't do it. I'm realizing that it makes his opponent look kind of bad.

This totally has the potential to be the best Takeover so far. Scrolling down the fight card and there's just so much to be excited about. I've been hyped about Bayley/Asuka for months, but there's like 3 or 4 more matches that could equal it tonight. I wish it was going on last though, as I think the Joe/Balor match will be solid but unspectacular. E: also hyped for some pre show Mauro.

I don't know how to feel about Bayley/Asuka. I am excited to see the match and I'm sure it will be great, but at the end there one of them will lose, or the other will, and I don't want either to happen.

In London they filmed a few matches (AA / VV / BAMF / Hype Bros 8-man tag, Samson's debut) but held off on the bulk of new TV til the next day.

They could have him retain with BC interference and have a new stable of bad guys to get dethroned, or they could have him lose and bring him up. Or Joe could show up on Raw. It'll be good regardless, I think!
