Singing all those songs and wearing the props was hilarious. And that finish was just perfect.

On a side note, I like that he got serious with his advice. That is leading by example. Just another thing that makes him great.

Loved the Angle speech. Gave great advice to those in the business and had fun at the same time. Glad he finally got in the HOF.

Before he got in the WWE, I knew him as an Olympic champion as I was a wrestler in my youth and was pretty good back in the day, I was always trying to see some of the best amateur wrestlers so I could mimic them in my matches. I always looked up to him throughout my endeavors, along with the legendary Dan Gable, as an amateur wrestler and am glad he got his due respect in the WWE. I was 10 when I saw him win the gold in the Olympics and was so excited to see that happen. Had a huge impact on me from then on.

When during the halll of fame show did angle get announced? So I can fast forward thru the other junk..

Nyfancam01 · 04-01-2017, 07:35 AM

This DDP speech has been absolutely beautiful. I'm serious wow.

I love this one and i'm not even all the way through it.

Jericho · 04-01-2017, 01:20 PM

I thought Beth did an amazing job. Huge fan of hers and I'd take her over any of the women they have on the roster now.

BoxBreaker72 · 04-01-2017, 03:31 PM

Y2J leaving soon. To be expected but my god it isn't easy leaving when you're that hot....

Newbs · 04-01-2017, 03:41 PM

Just saw that there will be a Women's tournament on the Network with competitors from 17 countries meeting. Let's see what the rest of the world can offer in the division. Excited to see that.

Really hoping they get a good mix of talent. This could be really awesome

nera20 · 04-01-2017, 08:12 PM

nxt takeover is pretty amazing so far the triple threat tag match is amazing

Newbs · 04-01-2017, 08:48 PM

Drew McIntire sitting ringside at Takeover. Interesting....

yup lost the titles and had a moment after the match with the Young Bucks

McIntyre/Galloway to NXT, also if rumors are true then the taping on Wednesday will get some more talent also.

Nakamura probably to Raw, Revival have to be getting called up and either show could really use them. If Enzo and Cass win the titles, Revival go great against them (but then again they go great against anyone).

I wouldn't mind seeing Revival vs USO's. Even if both are heel USO's are WWE's best tag team and Revival are right behind them.

I think it depends on if the Hardy's go to Smackdown or Raw. Revival will have great matches vs. anyone but I think the Hardy's make sense on Smackdown.

This makes so much sense. Drew is the prototypical NXT main eventer and with Shinsuke going to the main roster, NXT will need a replacement.

I agree.

Wrestling wise, I think the standout of the show was Roderick Strong. Though, compared to everyone else's character development, Strong looks like the most generic indy wrestler WWE has ever seen. Compared to the rest of the NXT undercard (who all have some type of dark, grunge, neo-punk thing going on) he looks like plain old vanilla ice cream. If he had any depth to his character at all, he would be money on the main roster. I'm guessing he gets an eventual NXT heel turn, to give himself some edge, something along the lines of a Tully Blanchard type.

Character wise, I was REALLY impressed with Sanity. I don't watch NXT week to week, so seeing their progress since the last Takeover, really blew me away. WWE could seamlessly drop Sanity on to any main roster show and put them right into the title hunt. They have a fully formed act and I'd like to see them in a money feud, against someone other than Tye Dillinger or Kassius Ohno.

Didn't care for Aleister Black. The announce team referenced nerves a couple of times, so maybe that's what it was, but his moveset didn't fit his character. He doesn't seem athletic enough to do the moves he was trying to do.
Along those lines, Percy Watson is a terrible fit on the announce crew. Phillips & McGinness are fine on their own.
Also, Kassius Ohno? No thanks. I know he's supposed to be a big deal, but I don't see it.

Agreed on Roddy. Thought his offense looked the best in the match and everytime he did something it got a reaction. I like that he is sort of vanilla in the sense that, in and of itself, it seperates him from the others in NXT well. I'd like to see Roddy feud with a guy who will probably be making his NXT debut come Wednesday and I don't mean McIntyre

I liked Black but thought the match sort of fell off past the midway point. I think his presentation really made him a big deal. Look forward to seeing his stuff in the future. His match with Neville looked good.

After about 20 minutes, I forgot Percy Watson was even at the announce desk. I'd say he's as bad as Otunga but at least Watson is quiet.

Kassius looked good tonight. He's losing weight to help his look out. The guy can deliver. I'd say whatever program he gets into going to Brooklyn should show it.

Jericho · 04-02-2017, 08:12 AM

Overall a good NXT card I thought. Not impressed with Black at all, then again never was when I saw him before either. Tye Dillinger is dull and boring as hell, if he didnt have that "10" gimmick he'd be in major trouble. Don't see him getting called up anytime soon. Roderick did look good, hopefully they'll start moving him up the card a bit more. The Tag Title match was good, but seemed to get a little sloppy after DIY was eliminated. I don't think DIY gets the credit they deserve. Women's title match was good, and shockingly Asuka was selling some. Think the crowd was ready for a title switch there, but Asuka pushed the ref and doesn't get DQed? huh? Guessing Ember takes it off her whenever she gets another match. Main event was alright. Roode worked his ass off, and Nakamura was just kinda there

nera20 · 04-02-2017, 08:25 AM

Bobby Roode I don't think gets enough credit he deserves as a main eventer. I really think he has a nice mix of old school and new school, and he actually has a more diverse more set then I thought he did. I really like him overall as a champion heel.

Roderick Strong is awesome and like stated above just needs a little more depth in his character.

Sanity has gotten alot better and I think they could be around for a bit. I am really impressed with how Killian Dane (not sure if thats how they spell it) moves, he has a pretty decent move set and could be a force down the road.

The womens match was great, Ember's only problem I see sometimes is her height, I think it limits some of her moves from being smoother.

The tag teams just amazing. Not a big Authors fan but they have been doing alot better, and DIY and the Revival well they are just both on spot.

gorillaz · 04-02-2017, 08:42 AM

Can't stand AoP's finisher. A clothesline and leg sweep combo? Come on now, you your height and weight to an advantage.

yeah, big difference between him and the other part timers, is that atleast when hes back, he appears on every tour, most of house shows, every RAW , etc

he is arguably one of the only 2 or 3 reasons to tune in to RAW each week and without him they will need to fill that void big time, and my guess that void will need to be filled by a Kurt Angle, Hardy Boyz, or a debuting Shinsuke

Jericho's character today has been just as good, if not better than any of his attitude era stuff. How he can tweak his characters phrases to lean towards begin a face again with stuff like "friends of jericho, cheer me on mannnn" is just solid stuff

danhardyufc · 04-02-2017, 09:05 AM

It's a shame that Andrade Almas loses every big match that he is in. He consistently puts on good matches, has charisma and was a big deal before coming to NXT. Now all he is used for is to put over new talent. And we're stuck with one of the most boring NXT champions of all time in Bobby Roode. The only reason he is so over is because of his stupid entrance theme. His matches are always 15-20 minutes of rest holds, posing and saying "Glorious"...no thanks. He's so bad that he even makes Nakamura look boring.
