firstnameunknown Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A big full-colour bear's face on your knee has always struck me as a really random choice of tattoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicsGuy Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Bate vs Dunne was the best match I've seen this year. Easily the best match on Takeover. The other matches were very good too. Great show.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 He has a few others under his boots, but he had that one because he doesn't wear knee pads and wanted something on his knee. Tattooing a wrestler's knee was the toughest skin ever, could tell it's taken a lot of punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat crater Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Bates' tattoo is atrocious. I don't mean the work itself as I haven't seen a close up of it. But it just looks so out of place. Don'tĀ understand getting your first tattoo on an area like your hand. Ā Odd choice. Most tattooists would have turned him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I used to turn it away, but I stopped caring about that years ago. I used to be pretty militant about it before but now I don't really care. Think he wants to turn it into a full sleeve anywayĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What is that tattoo? I noticed he'd had it done since the tournament in January but I couldn't make out what the tattoo actually was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat crater Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Looks like some sort of mandala nonsense from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 I love that in 2017, when everyone is throwing themselves headfirst into the apron, my favourite spot of the year is Tyler Bate's Super Fast Airplane Spin. That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Pack Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Watched Bate vs Dunne on the back of a review show i was watching and i thought itĀ was awesome. Both men really flew the flag for British Wrestling and McGuiness was great on commentary. Good stuff!Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_1120 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Best match I've seen in a long long time that UK title match. Crowd were super hot for it too. I'm sure McGuiness at one point in the match said both men have a decade of experience.. Wouldn't that mean Tyler Bate has been wrestling since he was 9/10?

Why is she there? Every aspect is crap. Yeah I've thought very little of her in NXT. Ā Reading forums and FSM she had a glowing reputation from a lot of people coming into NXT, and maybe fully deserved, I barley saw any of her indy work so can't comment. Ā But she has been so underwhelming in that gimmick. Ā Totally overplays the character. Ā She was grinning like fuck as soon as Asuka won which was odd to see. Ā A bit like the Bray Wyatt gimmick in that its all these odd actions on screen but none of them make sense, or have any meaning and motivation, or lead to anything.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 Just watched Bate VS Dunne. Yeah, not really much to add to be honest- it's probably edged Dunne VS Mandrews (UK Tournament) as my MOTY thus far. Absolutely superb, they have fantastic chemistry. I wonder how many snowflakes this gets from Big Dave? Probably a 4.75, losing 0.25 due to 'didn't happen in Japan' tax. Pissed all over Omega/Okada.

Paid Members gadge Posted May 21, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2017 "Judas by Fozzy is the theme of NXT Takeover: Chicago" Ā "Here's Kevin Owens to watch the main event of NXT Takeover: Chicago - and look there's Sami Zayn sat separately" Top subtlety by the NXT crew there.Ā Really good show. The crowd weren't dickheads. Nigel McGuinness is vastly improved as a commentator for 4 months in the WWE system, and if he talks too much, it's better than Petrified Percy. Gutted that Hideo Itami didn'tĀ step up but even his match had a great finish.Ā Bate vs Dunne definitely joins my MOTY list, especially for WWE bouts.
