Paid Members GlennCullen Posted August 20, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2016 Takeover 1-3:30, then the top 4 fights from the UFC card. Lovely little Sunday morning.
WyattSheepMask Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Is TakeOver tonight then? What time does it start? 1am, and here is the final card: NXT Title Match Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe © NXT Women's Title Match Bayley vs. Asuka © NXT Tag Team Title Match Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. The Revival © Bobby Roode vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas Austin Aries vs. No Way Jose Ember Moon vs. Billie Kay n absolutely stacked card, fuck knows what the running order is going to, but it should an absolute belter from start to finish
Merzbow Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 I think Joe'll win too, but damn I'd love to see Naka do some weird dance like move to get out of his choke then knee him in the gob to win.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 20, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2016 I'm hoping Vince is backstage in Gorilla, sees Bobby Roode for the first time and immediately chucks him on Raw like he did with Baron Corbin.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 20, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 20, 2016 Did the same with Crews as well, didn't he? You'd think Roode is so up Vince's street, that he'd perform that gif in person if he were there.
Paid Members FLips Posted August 21, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2016 Unbelievable yet again. Main event and tag match were unreal. Oh and Roode's entrance!
bigfoote Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Again NXT delivers. Great tag match, the glorious entrance and match of Mr Roode, Bayley in baby blue (the tradition continues?) in perhaps the women's match of the year. That violin, without the crowd would have had more impact, but hey, it's an NXT crowd. Superb match from them both, great chemistry, and a cracking finish that elevates both men, if that's possible.
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 21, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2016 Nakamura is probably the best seller in wrestling, right? The last two matches were cracking. Bobby Roode being the star we all knew he should be is, well, glorious.
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted August 21, 2016 Awards Moderator Posted August 21, 2016 Really good show. Aries vs Jose was good, benefitted from an unclear winner - it could have gone either way lots of times. Aries is a good choice for Itami to get back in the top level game. Oh, and he finally hit the GTS! Ember Moon's match was a fine introduction to her, she's surely the one to dethrone and finally beat Asuka? Bobby Roode… the only word for that entrance is GLORIOUS. That's a main eventer right there. And to think they've got Dolph bloody Ziggler twatting about in the WWE Title match at Summerslam. That robe! The platform! I don't think much to the pumphandle drop finisher, but all the same... GLORIOUS! They're stuck in a tricky spot with Cien, though, they need to either stop putting him against heels who are more over than he is, or turn him temporarily to counteract that. Tag match was great, I loved how it started off feeling very old-school and then just naturally evolved to that crazy dramatic finishing sequence. Was expecting the AOP to pop up afterwards but I'm glad they didn't. I love Bayley. I was actually getting a bit emotional for her at the end. I did the same in the video package on this week's episode. I don't know what's wrong with me. Best babyface around today, anyway, genuinely sad for her not getting the title back. That was probably my favourite match of the show, I think, but they were all pretty good, no real standout like last year. The moment Nakamura appeared during his entrance… I lost it. What a fucking SUPERSTAR that man is. If it hadn't been really early on a Sunday morning I'd have been cheering out loud for him. "Big fight feel" was, for once, totally accurate for this one, and while I didn't get into the match itself as much as I thought I would, I'm happy with the result. I'm wondering first of all who Shinsuke's next opponent could be, and whether Joe's turning up on Raw or SmackDown next week.
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 21, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2016 Well, they very nearly made it explicit that Bayley is moving up, didnt they?
kickin it wit the kliq Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Mick Foley swapping seats with his daughter so he could sit next to Becky Lynch was my unintentional highlight of the night, but what a show it was, Nakamura, Joe and Roode should all be on the main roster, they all scream superstar.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 21, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2016 Best part of the show: Samoa Joe pushing that security guard into the wall for no reason other than he's Samoa Fucking Joe.
