I really like the NXT roster right now.

Some new inhouse Talent with Montez Ford (Street Profits) and Heavy Machinery looking very good fixing the tag team division.

MYC definitely refilled the womens roster.
 
So as someone who doesn't know anything about Adam Cole, can someone see me on him. Is this dude a future main event star or some mid carder.
 
Are you suggesting The Modern Day Maharajah doesn't look out for his boys?

Shame.

His Bollywood Boyz, sure. But he said in a Jericho interview that he hated working in 3MB. :(

fwiw i don't remember him saying he disliked working with Heath or Drew, just the stable idea in general. So maybe there's still hope...

Event just ended and Meltzer is already getting "if that was Japan it'd be six stars" bullshit on Twitter. lol



He's the fourth man!

We're doing War Games at Takeover New Orleans!

He sounds silly here though.

Congrats to @DMcIntyreWWE eventually the cream usually rises to the top. Baybay
Team ROH needs a female. They need to have all the belts.





Main event star. He can work and talk at a high level.

I would love Deonna, but tbh don't think Marty Scurll would be happy with it.

They must have never had a plan.

Theyll always have The Reapers. Not sure why people want Cryme Time. They are too big of babyfaces themselves.
I would only want to see Cryme Tyme back if only to see whether JTG could find a way to outdo his last 6-year stint of employment without getting TV time, being noticed or getting released.
I think he could break his own record.

I really don't see it. As I said, the dude looks like a CAW-ified version of Aleister Black, and will have to work his ass off to differentiate himself.

I want Cryme Tyme back because they were the most over tag team to never get the belts in a long-ass time. Damn shame Shad kept blowing it for the two of them backstage.

Only 3 time ROH champ. Will be the NXT champ by the next Takeover. Doesn't work the flippy style as much as you would think. Reminds me of Punk

His appeal is his natural mannerisms and charisma. He has a great look and mind. He knows how to do serious and Comedy. He's worked with Mike Bennet and Maria Kannellis as the Kingdom; With Kevin Owen and Roderick Strong as part of Mount Rushmore in PWG. And of course, he is Bullet Club Alumni
 
I will say as an overall show, I enjoyed this more than any individual G1 show. Just my personal presence of course.

Well I mean that's not a meaningful comparison. G1 nights are meant to be one or two match cards

We wanna compare PPV vs PPV... Dominion destroys this show.

Doesn't matter though this was still a great show.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I agree though some are calling it just that including John Pollock.



Great talker too. Charismatic as fuck.

I mean I was entertained from start to finish I don't know what else you would want.

NXT TakeOvers continue the streak of never being bad.

How many member should this stable have?

I know you got Roderick Strong, anybody else?

Strong is going to be the guy who doesn't join and fights the stable. It's so good in theory.
 
That may have been the best NXT Takeover ever. If not, certainly the best in Brooklyn to date. Unfathomable considering BKN1 had one of the best matches ever in Bayley-Sasha I. But what a show. Not a dud in that entire show. Roode-McIntyre was the worst for me and even then, on its own and not compared to any other match, it was pretty decent.

Ratings for me:

Gargano-Almas - ★★★★ (4)
SAnitY-AOP - ★★★ 3/4 (3.75)
Itami-Black - ★★★ 1/2 (3.50)
Asuka-Moon - ★★★★ 1/2 (4.50)
McIntyre-Roode - ★★★ 1/4 (3.25)
