Let us all join together in the fraternity of humanity and acknowledge the universal truth that Kota Ibushi is better than Johnny Gargano.

I WAS THERE
WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
I also thought the commentary was uncharacteristically awful last night??? The past few Takeovers I feel like Nigel/Mauro/Percy have really gotten a nice groove going but all of them sounded constantly flustered last night, tripped over words, and just had loooooong stretches of confused silence. Made me wonder if someone was in their ears more than usual????

I dunno Mauro literally said "HE'S GONNA ABSOLVE HIM OF HIS SINS" so I was fine with it

Mauro can do no wrong

percy said one smart thing all night and mauro steamrolled it with "great point, nigel" and moved along. or he didn't want to acknowledge percy and was trying to get nigel to talk but that's non-canon.

I'm not mad about the spot, but it's disingenuous to say that it didn't have the same template as the Ospreay-Ibushi spot (which I've ironically seen described as an NXT-esque spot due to the camera angles and facial expressions).

Nice. I'm not going to axxess, going to see if I can find something else to do in Phoenix since paying like 50 bucks to get in is BS. I also might buy a belt, since I've wanted one since I was 8. Thinking about the NXT NA or IC title.

I've been thinking about a movie myself, if me and my bud end up going I'll PM you to see if we can meet up :)

I’m at the Hyatt hotel lobby for the next thirty minutes if you wanna grab lunch.

"Why wasn't this spot without Kota as good as this spot with him?" seems like a very easily solved problem

I swear they said "triple hhh the brainchild of nxt" but no one else in the room was still paying attention.

Also calling Black on kicking out of a finisher when it was the second time and percy pointed that out really drove it home. Maybe their positioning was bad or their monitors were hosed up or who knows, felt super off and mediocre.

Just finished Takeover and once again it was extremely solid. Not earth-shattering like in the past but still excellent.

I'm glad they did what they did with Bianca, you have to eventually pay off the Undefeated story so now she can go back and keep working because she could be so good with time.

Same. And I also like how she changed it to the idea that being UN-DE-FEA-TED is just as much a mindset as it is a literal record. It makes sense and is a really good face message for people to look up to. :)

And by the way just so I'm explicitly clear I don't doubt that Ospreay and Kota did the spot, quite likely inspired it, and did it more smoothly, my point is that it was sure as poo poo awesome as hell then and it was awesome as hell last night so why quibble instead of just enjoying good wrestle things, god drat it? Woo.

All I wanted from this show was for Matt Riddle to get kicked in the dick. :(

Yeah, Bianca lost but she's a bigger star after last night than she was before. That was really, really well done.

That was a fairly fun show.

The tag match was good, Riddle is going to be a huge deal in a couple of years, the Johnny/Rick O'Shea match was amazing, Bianca has absolutely wacky potential and Shayna should just straight up replace Ronda because she is much better at this poo poo, i can't bring myself to watch Alister Black in any match because he is loving boring so i just skipped that one.

There's only one thing that I hate about NXT Takeovers:

They're so good that I'm going to have to get tickets to the next Chicago one and give WWE more money... :smith:
