AoP looked like monsters during the finish too.

Asuka's glee at facing an opponent willing to go toe-to-toe with her, her disappointment when Ember started to fade, and then her joyful cheating when Ember started to get the upper hand was the best. Watching her dance to the beat of her music after loving Ember out of the title was the best.

Just nipping by to say the temporary DIY and Revival team up was hype af. The four person powerbomb, the uneasy double submission, the finishers with borrowed partners, beautiful. My favourite match in a very strong night overall.

Catching up on a couple of Takeover matches rn. I really like Ally Black's theme and entrance. Holy poo poo he looks threatening as heck in all the best ways. Major props to him.

That entire card was great. From the wildness of the opener to Black's great presence, DIY/Revival team up spots, Asuka and Ember beating the crap out of eachother, and the entire atmosphere of the main. I love TakeOvers so much.

TakeOver was fantastic from bell to bell. The mixed tag was wild as hell, and Cien vs Black was a fantastic showcase for both guys. During the triple threat tag, I legitimately marked out for the first time in a long time during the double finisher spot. Asuka vs Moon was stiff and strong and good. The only match that sort of fell flat was the Title match. Maybe it was the pacing, I dunno, but I started falling asleep by the middle of it.

The triple threat portion of the tag title match was one of my favorite matches I have ever seen. The second fall was good too but that was transcendent.

Wrestling aside, the booking is just so good. The opener is just constant action to get the crowd hot and pumped, and puts over the stable they want to put over. Andrade/Black gives Black a great jumping off point and still makes Andrade look good, they've really rescued him from the "who cares?" reaction. Tag team was awesome, DIY are smart faces, the Revival fuckup their planning but aren't morons and AoP come out with mega-heat as well as looking like badasses from a situation where I think most people were expecting them to let down the match any time they got involved. Plus it's a perfect way to book the Revivals tweener-ish "You're jerks, but you're really good at it" deal. Ember gets put up on Asuka's level, repairs the damage done by having her not work much up until now, and the long-term booking of Asuka getting more and more cocky and arrogant until finally she has to cheat to win has been awesome. And lastly, Roode going over Nakamura again gives him credibility as not just another heel opponent who took advantage of an injury but as a legitimate Top Guy himself. Also I give a poo poo about Roderick Strong where I gave zero shits about the guy before, but that's probably just me. Guy was over.

I really liked the Asuka-Ember Moon match (even if Ember looks like Naomi cosplaying as Awesome Kong) and I was really impressed with how Ember really brought it. Then again, I guess we haven't really been allowed to see what she could do so far in her WWE tenure. The triple threat tag match was great too, only just slightly edged out by the womens match and then the main event as third best match of the night. I'm still laughing a bit at WWE turning Tommy End into a PG rated Satanist though. Seeing Paul Ellering on tv always makes me happy.

Yeah that match did a great job of letting guys get work in. Tye, Roddy, and Ohno lost, but they each got to show off a lot, Roddy especially. Hopefully Ruby didn't gently caress up her back on that apron dropkick, because I wouldn't mind her and Nikki having a feud.

Andrade looked the most like the old Ingobernables Sombre last night and that was pretty great. Also, as goofy rear end edgelord Black is portrayed as, he looked great and was also willing to take a beating while doing it. I'm glad Andrade didn't get steamrolled because he deserves a megapush after that match.

Each of the new titles have that thin lattice pattern consistent with 3D printed objects, so I'm wondering if they were printed. If so, that would likely be the first time they've had 3D printed titles.

Black is everything wwe thinks Corbin is. Black looks cooler, is in better shape, is loving awesome in ring, and legit has an intimidating presence. Corbin just looks like your friends lovely older brother who deals weed to middle schoolers.

As long as he drops the suspenders he will get over find on Smackdown. The_Rob posted:Black is everything wwe thinks Corbin is.

Black is great in the ring but I think presence is absolutely his top quality. Dude just knows how to do every little thing to make you take notice of him as someone to fear. Corbin has really improved but it still feels like he's playing a character that is his idea of cool. Aleister Black doesn't feel like a character.

Didn't he used to be a masked wrestler? I know vince is all about face emoting but gently caress it slap a mask back on him let him do flippy poo poo and then profit off that sweet mask merch.

I feel bad for Almas because he's legit gotten better and better with every PPV, from his match with Roddy Strong to the poo poo he did with Aleister Black. Would be sad if he left but he's still pretty young, could have an awesome future if they put him on a smaller show like Smackdown and legit build him against guys like Ziggler/Miz/Ambrose and then I'd love to see him versus AJ someday.

Almas is better off leaving and going to NJPW and being bff with Naito instead of moving up to the main roster where he can dwell in Latino midcard status for the remainder of his career.

I also thought it was strange that the Drifter wasn't mentioned. Though there was a dark match before Takeover where Oney Lorcan fought "El Vagabondo". A masked luchador with a guitar. I'm sure those two things are unrelated though.
