I'm not even being ironic. Hero getting bigger has legit ruled and made his strikes look that much more devastating and his high flying moves look that much more impressive.

Seeing him do a step-up rana or somersault plancha at that size was always awesome as hell, every time

Did Vince randomly stop by the PC and notice their size?

I expected Roode to win but I was surprised it was so clean and decisive. Was kind of expecting some kind of triple threat at the Takeover show, so that they'd have a back-up singles match option after Shane McMahon reveals Shinsuke Nakamura is his handpicked champion to face AJ Styles at Wrestlemania.

Posted this in the spoilers thread after the tapings. YES Roode needed a strong win. But Roode is Terry Taylor's protege and Terry hates Ohno going back to his first FCW/NXT run. Ohno did ZERO favours to himself wearing a too tight white jersey in the match too.

Ohno long term will do fine but just because you don't hear about it and the women's division presents the idea of a meritocracy dont kid yourself lovely developmental politics still exist.

Nikki really made things happen for herself the 18 months or so before she was signed. I've never encountered someone who concurrently improved their game across the board so quickly: her body, in ring and character work. Usually someone focuses on one of those but shuns the rest. That's a human impulse but Nikki was really determined.

oh yeah i mean nikki cross rules and im glad she's getting a spotlight on her but macy estrella or whatever her name was was like 6'0" and jacked like lady jobbers usually arent.

also lmao i mean im glad baroness is getting some money for wwe using their song, but that album's like two years old, i thought that sort of thing was for pumping up poo poo that just came out. the first band with the glam rock singer, hoooooly poo poo that was bad.

man ohno's dreamteam outfit rules a lot. sorry, just got home to watch now.

Nikki Cross is unique because she's one of the few women wrestlers (in WWE history?) that WWE presents as not a model, or even an athlete like the Horsewomen and Asuka/Ember, but as a fighter, all pissed off and raring to kill someone.

Sure, you could write it off as "Lady Dean Ambrose," but how many women actually get the chance to play "Dean Ambrose?" Nikki's been killing it in this role, and I hope she gets to be a big deal sooner than later.

Maybe I'm not as good at deciphering your posts as others, but that pic shows me Nikki pinning a jobber with her hands on the face in disrespect, after hitting her finisher like 10 times in a row, like a pissed-off fighter. What am I missing?

nothing, nikki cross owns a lot and it's great that sanity is a vehicle for her because the alternate would be a vehicle for eric young and, bleh, eric young

I really liked the Asuka/Ember promo package. It kinda showed that Ember got little to no character development time, but THE ASUKA REVOLUTION made up for it. I have high hopes for that match and I think it will deliver. Not that excited about Roode/Nakamura 2, though. There really isn't a feud there, it's just a delayed mandatory rematch, and I wish they'd have put Ohno over just so we could get a better matchup and booking possibilities.

Other than that, what do we have planned for Takeover? There's the three-way elimination tag title match, which should be good as long as AoP plays their role, whatever they're gonna do with Sanity/Assorted Job Squad (how will they beat the numbers game?), and an Alastair Black squash against some dummy. I've been out of the loop for a bit.

ohno/nakamura would have owned, elbows and knees and all sorts of joint strikes.

ah, c'est la vie, bobby roode is gonna do his caw default moves and win again so nak can go to the main roster and fight aj because shane didn't actually say HE was aj's opponent at mania.
