So is Takeover: Brooklyn basically NXT's Wrestlemania?

Honestly its tough to tell because they do such a good job with Takeover builds and the roster changes so much.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Has the crowd received Apollo at all? After all the pushing they've done, is there any excitement around him?

Near Shining Stars level.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I feel like we are going to get a Triple Threat at Summerslam for the title.

WWE always goes down that route when they are afraid two people cannot draw on their own.

Lol two jobbers with one stone imo.

Doesn't look like it.

I was interested at first, as I hadn't seen any of his NXT work, but he's just so generic. :/

 

[Wagram]

Botch 2 Bryan.

 

[dream]

They are booking Nick Nemeth so well! This is wonderful.

 

[Dick Justice]

Imagine thinking you are finally gonna get a shot at the title and a chance to prove yourself only for it to go to HHH's biggest pet project with a history of not being over and spending more time injured than actually wrestling.

Who?

 

[Laws00]

WHAT!?

Jesus Dolph

 

[Chamber]

Dolph isn't losing you goofs.

 

[Kusagari]

Dolph's gonna lose lmao

 

[GunBR]

He got a good pop winning the Royale last week. But at that time it was between him and Kane (in...you know) to win

And between Apollo and Baron, I really hope that Kalisto gets another push and fight against Miz for the belt

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Underdog story leading to a possible heel turn?

What pushing?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Everyone gets "MATT FACTS" now it seems

 

[Fox318]

Dolph is an idiot

I feel like we are going to get a Triple Threat at Summerslam for the title.

WWE always goes down that route when they are afraid two people cannot draw on their own.

Also confirms that Dean will lose the belt and Dolph will take the fall for Bray.

 

[Cheat Code]

I don't want to see any of these people versus The Miz.

 

[Jimmy King]

Does Dolph Ziggler have the most compelling story in WWE right now?

Holy shit, Dolph Ziggler has the most compelling story in WWE right now.

 

[esmith08734]

Dolph isn't losing you goofs.

Dolph's gonna lose lmao

interesting, lol

 

[somedevil]

What pushing?

Are the talking about when he vanished after getting called up after Wrestlemania or the dropped Sheamus program?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

TIME FOR SOME LUCHA THINGS

 

[Xion385]

Corbin going to take this. Trust!

 

[Hidden One]

I love these new graphics

 

[Sibersk Esto]

No us title mention on kalisto' stats page

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

i think even the crickets yawn for Baron Corbin.

 

[Surge]

Maryse...good lord

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Near Shining Stars level.

That seemed a decent pop.

 

[Valentus]

here comes apollo!!!

Throw coins to the crowd Apollo!!!!!!

 

[Skatterd]

Miz should just go on vacation again fuck these other guys

 

[Fox318]

Who?

Bray.


Bray is the biggest example of him being better than Johnny Ace and to some extent Vince.

HHH took Huskey Harris and turned him into a main eventer who sells merch and fedoras.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Apollo es no bueno
At least he got a reaction

 

[esmith08734]

Apollo definitely wins here..

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

All these rap references...

 

[SallyIsNow]

Geez Maryse.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

The Lone Wolf's mange continues apace

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Baron Corbin feels like Raven all over again.

 

[Kusagari]

This is the SD midcard.

Let that sink in.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Didn't we just get back from break

Idk I wasn't paying attention

 

[Fox318]

Apollo being this bad has only made me look at Tye Dillinger as a Bret Hart level worker.


Also Miz has destroyed all of the work KO did of building that title back up.

A champ should know how to work.

 

[Officerrob]

This is the SD midcard.

Let that sink in.

Upper midcard

 

[Keyser Soze]

I need Corbin to scream about Ring of Honor to Crews again

 

[Hidden One]

Upper midcard

It's still pretty sad

 

[Fox318]

Upper midcard

They should have sent KO and Sheamus to Smackdown.

Both of them could fill out the upper mid card and work main event if needed.

 

[GunBR]

Didn't we just get back from break

Idk I wasn't paying attention

Yes

I never counted but they probably put 10 breaks in a 2 hours show

EDIT: New page

 

[Guzim]

This is the SD midcard.

Let that sink in.

Drink it in, man.

 

[ReiGun]

Austin Creed ‏@XavierWoodsPhD 2m
Did @WWEDanielBryan say he needed A. Creed??? @WWE #SmackdownLive

.

 

[Dick Justice]

Bray.


Bray is the biggest example of him being better than Johnny Ace and to some extent Vince.

HHH took Huskey Harris and turned him into a main eventer who sells merch and fedoras.

I thought Balor was his pet project.

 

[Fox318]

I need Corbin to scream about Ring of Honor to Crews again

Corbin is supposed to call out the place where the person didn't wrestle.

So in this case he should scream go back to Progress or something

 

[Keyser Soze]

These three work well together

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Was JBL told to shut up entirely instead of being asked to tone it down? He's said fuck all.

If they changed their mind on Dolph in one week without giving him time to even cut a promo then if I was Dolph I'd walk out of the arena after this segment.

Imagine thinking you are finally gonna get a shot at the title and a chance to prove yourself only for it to go to HHH's biggest pet project with a history of not being over and spending more time injured than actually wrestling.

I'm pretty sure if Ziggler is actually losing his shot tonight, then he was told from the get-go that he was never actually getting the shot.

I'm thinking triple-threat personally. Makes enough sense.
