See, I disagree there too. Dominion's top three matches were better IMO, but Dominion as a whole was not as consistently entertaining to me as tonight's show.
This show was a tighter package and for that I liked it more.

Do you then add Patrick Clark since he's Lio Rush tag team partner for a while?

Watching NXT is like edging for years just waiting for HHH to take over booking the main roster

Some people think Pixels is a better movie than The Godfather, I guess.

I don't want to call it the best ever but it definitely hit the notes it needed to hit.

They were filming that. It'll probably be shown somewhere (YouTube or NXT TV next week).

They should keep adding former ROH guys to the stable until the leader is revealed to be CM Punk.

Drew is a future WWE Champion he looks incredible. Just on looks alone. The fact he can work is great.
It was the right call. Bobby is 40, Drew is 32.
Adam Cole is probably going to get the belt pretty quickly but even if he isn't, Drew can stay at NXT for a year or so.

Dominion was literally one of the greatest events ever period so couldn't disagree more.

Wasnt there also word that Dalton Castle didnt resign with ROH?
I try not to compare WWE shows to NJPW shows. Different strokes for different folks.

I hope Ember Moon doesnt win the myc... Who should win?
He did re-sign

God if there's on gimmick I don't trust WWE with it's Castle's

Drew doesn't need to be in NXT though.
Honestly, just let Bobby go and give his theme song to someone who can use it instead of wasting it on the main roster.

Actually, forget Adam Cole, he seems made.
It's his two jobber friends that make the stable look weak. Are they any good? because they look Sing Bros tier

The top three were three of the best matches I've seen in a long time.
But I'm just judging the show as a whole and I think it suffers from a good but not great undercard and the fact that it was like five hours long.
But we can disagree. That's okay. 👍🏻

Why would they let go of a guy who walks, talks and delivers consistently.

Ember Moon isn't even in the MYC, dude.

They are probably the second or third best tag team in the world.

Yeah they are very good.
More recently they both had killer matches with Shibata. Oreilly vs KUSHIDA was awesome too.
Bobby is great though. His in-ring psychology is better than 95% of the roster.

One thing is for sure
We just have to stop saying 'the card looks meh' & 'the weekly shows have been meh' for NXT, it's the same cycle every fucking time for like 2 years now. They always deliver.

They are Fantastic.
I dont even see the point of comparing wwe (even nxt) to njpw but whatever.
I thought it was a fantastic Takeover, doubly so because the card, on paper, was one of the weaker ones. Which reminds me, we really need to, collectively, stop going "meh not looking forward to this Takeover, card does nothing for me" as they have proven time and time again that cards dont matter, they always deliever.
When is the next one, Survivor Series weekend in November?

I just prefer the WWE's style of production, so when they put on a show that good, I'm likely to like it more than most anything else.
Like I would sooner recommend this as a whole show to someone than Dominion. But I would sooner tell someone to watch Dominion's top three (Okada/Omega, Tanahashi/Naito, and Takahashi/Kushida) than this show. So it's a weird balance.
Ultimately I can see why that would make me crazy, but I can't change how I feel. lol

They aren't bringing Cole to NXT for no reason. I think they want Roode on the main roster after his rematch on some random NXT episode.
I'd say the entire card was a 4*. Was awesome despite having no expectations but guess what? You should expect TakeOver's to be good at this point because all of them have been good.

So with Takeover finished, who y'all got getting called up next week? Angle and Daniel being there basically confirmed we'll be seeing some folks.
Itami is a lock, I believe; probably for the CW division. Hoping Smackdown gets the Iconic Duo if they go up. If Asuka is leaving, she's headed to Raw.
We can dream.
Shame for Heath. He's always been a little better than the comedy jobber role. Not main event level, obviously, but he could be a solid midcard guy.

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...

Do you not know who is in the myc final?

They don't need him? He's good, he's not AJ Styles though. I just don't see where he fits, and he's in the tail end of his career.
Patrick Clark is a very weird experiment and I have no idea what the plans could be for him.
They had some pretty forgettable TakeOver shows late last year though

He's a very weird face though. Like, he was totally out-loved by Roode and the crowd didn't care for his win.
Boy does he need his theme back. I don't think anyone except Black could get the crowd to turn on Roode.
Ridiculous that they hurt him for that.

I think he double duties and does the job to Strong before going full time on Main roster.
Or jobs to Strong and them goes up.
