NXT Takeover is crazy.

Lol I love how parts of the game look fairly nice/realistic while other parts look like garbage PS2 assets
It's almost like it takes time to update these models and they only have a year to pump out each game.

I get that, it's still jarring. Wasn't focused on the gif at first and it seemed like actual footage until it cut to the entrance way. Also Heyman's body looks better than his face
He's going to take out the trash!
Payback is May 1st. Extreme Rules is May 22nd. I predict they'll feud for both PPVs with Roman winning both. Hopefully AJ wins Money in the Bank or something. Need to get used to the idea of Roman holding that belt 'til SummerSlam.

Maguire's a great guy but he is a promoter.

I got really good seats for Extreme Rules. Pumped to go even if I have to deal with Roman going over AJ

I could see Sami Zayn getting the MITB win, underdog guy who wouldn't necessarily be in the title picture (right now) getting a shot

The Assassins Creed games were getting yearly releases. And they look at least a generation ahead of this shit.
Main Event Spoilers
Main Event Taping
Rich Brennan and Jerry Lawler were introduced for commentary (before the dark match). Greg Hamilton was ring announcer.
(1) New Day beat The Ascension at 8:45. Double-team combo finished off Viktor. Lots of dancing and celebrating of the remaining Booty O from WrestleMania.
Tonight: Paige vs. Emma.
(2) Baron Corbin beat Fandango at 2:19 with End of Days. Basic match. Apparently Corbins deal will be screaming at refs. Only thing that got a reaction during the match.
(3) Paige beat Emma at 11:41. This was announced as a womens division match. And it was darn good. Really impressive, snug, physical match. Emma has really found herself as a wrestler again. Paige got a Standing O after she won with Ram-Paige.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
There's no reason to think Roman is even threatened until Rollins is back.
It's called budget, my man.
But yeah, even that is not enough of a excuse, the games look like hot garbage

They've had 10 years. No excuses.
I don't know what you're saying!
Finally watched Nakamura/Zayn! It was amazing. I'm shocked by the crummy camera angles from the time Nakamura came off the ropes to his finish, though. Even on the replays, it was crappy. The view from my seat was actually more enjoyable. Craziness.
Anyway, I'll watch it again soon. Awesome stuff.

I actually want to see this. This could've been a decent SmackDown match... or hell, even RAW.

This makes sense. Presumably Rollins would have had this run against the Authority, or even Reigns, into Mania but ya know, injuries
Surprised they don't add the WWE films to the network after a while. Unless streaming deals with Netflix prevent it.
Same here. Hopefully we start seeing those two in the title picture. They'd be good opponents for Charlotte before Summerslam.

Roman acting like a heel again

I just can't imagine even Vince being stupid enough to put AJ against Roman and expecting Roman to be over. Then again, maybe he's just a heel who thinks he's a face that's been his character all along.

Poor Sami doesn't even have any merch to shill the way Owens does

Smackdown spoilers so far:
* WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns kicked off SmackDown to a big reaction, mostly boos. Reigns cuts a promo similar to RAW, about how hes THE guy, not good or bad. AJ Styles comes out to a big pop and they trade promos. Reigns talks down to AJ and leaves the ring with AJ looking on. Styles and Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho is announced
* The Vaudevillains vs. Sin Cara and WWE United States Champion Kalisto is first. Good pop for Aiden English and Simon Gotch in their debuts.Kalisto took the pin after a double team. The Vaudevillains celebrated after the match.
* Natalya beat Summer Rae via submission in a womens division match. Charlotte and Ric Rlair joined commentary. More like Charlotte was on commentary and Flair just sat next to her. Natalya put Summer in the Sharpshooter right in front of Charlotte. Post-match stare down. They got out quick, but Flair was a little slow exiting. Charlotte had to come back and get him. Cmon dad!

Apparently Finn was one of Trips' minions for his entrance.
I like the idea that NXT is really just a talent farm for his Mania entrances.

As much as an Owens/Zayn feud is cool, I feel like its a feud they don't need to actually start Sami with. I really felt like Zayn/Wyatt would have been a better program to build both sides up putting on good matches.
The entire NXT roster were apparently the minions
Honestly I was like 6 beers in and don't remember anything but Steph's outfit. I don't really remember the match, even, I was mostly playing Magic online and tuning out because the event was so goddamn long.
He's been taking pins since winning the belt on the reg. Juan Cena he ain't.
Like he really had much to begin with. They still treat him like a fluke champion.

Lol at people thinking Reigns heel turn.
"They boo who they normally cheer maggle! Bizarro world, crazy fans, got my head up Vince's ass!"

Cena did great.
It was Jon Stewart that killed the belt.
You have to give a champ wins and more importantly mic time to hype up the match or feud.
WWE don't want to sell Harrington jackets.
Seems like the decision to put AJ, probably the biggest face at the moment, against Reigns has already been made. I feel like in the future they're going to re-edit and unmute WrestleMania 32's boos to use in Reigns promos to make it seems like they deliberately made the biggest heel in the company.
You smart.
Kinda funny thinking about those Mania comments about AJ being buried. He made his debut January 24th and he's No. 1 contender for WHC by April 4th. Also,
Styles & Cesaro
I'm just imagining Reigns doing Bo Dallas' NXT champion gimmick. It could be pretty amazing if Reigns goes all in on the cheese.
They'd never do it though.

Fuck this dude is primed for great heel status and these WWE fuckers are so against it
Look at that. Hes got the bad guy swagger, and that's the most genuine mic moment he's had since ever. Embrace the boos. Don't have the commentators try to fight it
His mannerisms when everyone was fighting around him and he just stood back was legitimately great if he was a heel.
