NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III |OT| The Eclipse Comes Early

Yep. Takeover Houston.
Do you not know who is in the myc final?
Err, people are avoiding talking about the matches.
The roster was known since the WWE publiished it on YouTube.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
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.
I really like Strong and think he's the next Sami Zayn in NXT though so don't take me seriously.
Roode, Asuka, Iconic Duo have nothing left to do in NXT. Honestly, Authors of Pain aswell.
Roode and Iconic Duo to Smackdown, Asuka to RAW imo.
AoP to RAW for a Roman heel stable. Oh wait Vince hates stables and wont turn Roman, nvm.

Yes but had no idea you were talking about that
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.
So he's not AJ Styles so they should just fire him... yeah ok.

They had some pretty forgettable TakeOver shows late last year though
I would say Takeover Toronto is probably the worst Takeover and even that had a MOTYC with Revival and DIY.
Patrick Clark is a very weird experiment and I have no idea what the plans could be for him.

Nah, those takeovers were saved by Diy and the Revival.

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.
.
Please, no.
Itami should be kicking heads in like Samoa Joe. He should absolutely be running through the IC title scene, or facing AJ Styles.
Itami really is great in the ring and he's found himself as a heel. I don't know why people toss him aside.
I really want Andrade to carry Smackdown as a heel, but the show is just too busy. Im hoping guys like Corbin are on their way down, because he's taking up a much valuable spot that can be better put to stronger talents.
Id like to see Itami and Andrade called up, and Bobby may as well come up too.

Super disagree.
well, if you mean ring work wise, you would be correct. If we treat NXT as develomental... which it hardly is these days.
If so, I agree on AoP since they seem to be getting better. The ladies on the other hand look like they will always be terrible. Their out of ring work is fantastic tho.

I agree that Itami should be in the heavyweight division, but hoo boy Itami vs. Tozawa sounds like a great time regardless of crowd heat.

AoP to RAW for a Roman heel stable. Oh wait Vince hates stables and wont turn Roman, nvm.
I think AoP needs a little more time in the oven. I'd rather they call Sanity up before them.
Roode should go up, definitely, but I could also see him sticking around a little longer while they establish Cole to take his place as top heel. Agree that he should go to Smackdown.
I see where you're coming from, but you know Vince is gonna take one look at Itami and it's gonna be straight to 205.Please, no.

I want Andrade to go up too, but I don't see where he could fit in. The worst thing for him would be to wind up in Smackdown's black hole of a midcard.

Fuck it, put him in a tag team with Billy Kidman (Age 43).So he's not AJ Styles so they should just fire him... yeah ok.

Royce is not a bad wrestler, I definitely could see the gimmick turning Billie Kay into a more managerial role for the main roster eventually, and AoP has improved but they're still a bit off from being main roster material wrestling wise.
Both cases are actually one of the few that are still using NXT as a learning territory, so if you're gonna make some callups, they very down the pecking order at the moment.

If you don't think WWE has a "quota" with the way the make up their announce teams, you're in denial.

Announcer quotas? I've fucking heard it all now.
Raw announce team: Cole, Graves, Booker
SD announce team: JBL, Tom, Byron
NXT announce team: Mauro, Nigel, Percy
They are all made up exactly the same. Two white guys and one black guy. You think that's a total coincidence?
When Otunga had to leave, who replaced him? Booker.
When they swapped Byron off of Raw, who did they swap him for? Otunga.
This is not exactly the biggest leap in logic.

I guess they missed their quota for Main Event and 205 Live. Oh, the international announce teams didn't get the memo either. Damn.

Those don't have three man teams.

Last time I watched Main Event, R-Truth was on commentary. Maybe he's not anymore.
But even then, their three main shows all use the same commentary make-up. If you think that's all just happenstance, then sure. And Vince cares so much less about international teams. So much less.
