What a fuckin show. That main event was insane and I was wondering if they were going to wrestle to a draw with how long they went. Johnny is Cleveland personified so he's not going to win the big one. AoP and Dream are going to go down as the biggest Performance Center products of all time. We say this after every Takeover but they are so good in such a short time.

I was feeling pretty drained after Cole/Aleister, and I feel like the main event being preceded by other big matches is a big issue with Takeover usually. Still, Gargano pulled me in again, holy poo poo. He's absolutely incredible, and has almost cena-like potential as a face if he's booked right.

Remember when people were really into a babyface who is also probably one of the best wrestlers in the world, then he got called up, didn't get poo poo most of the time and then got turned into a heel because gently caress it?

I rewatched Cole/Black and Gargano/Almas this morning and dear god both those matches hold up so well. The current NXT roster is so loving stacked it's ridiculous.

When Asuka, Roode, Nakamura and Dillinger got called up I was really worried about NXT losing some steam, however with the rise of Dream, AoP, Gargano, Almas, Undisputed Era and Black NXTs future is as good as ever.

I can't believe Almas was the same dipshit wearing suspenders and a feather hat having lame curtain jerk matches. That gimmick was so bad it should leave a stain, but his swagger and matches since pairing up with Vega have obliterated it. NXT is exciting again and pulled off the rare feat of an awesome men's title match.

When is Drew Mac due back from injury? I feel like the return feud with Almas could be the thing to finally give him some momentum in nXt as well. Both are main roster ready anyway but I'm in no hurry to see them get wasted on Raw or SD.

2 1/2 hours for 5 matches is pretty much the perfect length for a PPV. Not looking forward to the 6+ hour Rumble tomorrow after that great show

Torn bicep surgery takes a long-rear end time to recover from, I wouldn't expect him back in time for a Brooklyn program.

Finally watching takeover. The Chairback spot and the double knees through the announcer table spots were some of the filthiest things I've seen on WWE TV in the past few years... especially after the trashcan botch earlier in the match.
