I think the air dates were July 19th and August 9th, but you owe it to yourself to go back and watch Lorcan v. Burch, especially their first match. Short, fast paced, fun matches.

Do you all realize that NXT has never had a world champion who's career started at the performance center?

The PE opened July 2013. Big E won the NXT title in December 2012, and Bo in May 2013.

Neville was the first NXT champion who would have trained at the PE (though obviously not from the start of his career).

So only men count and only if they started their wrestling career in the last 4 years? Gosh, shocking that none of them have the highest titles in the whole company.

If you think EY's voice is crazy, try listening to a Honma promo or watch a show where he's doing commentary for the NJPW announce team. Gravelly voice doesn't even begin to describe it:

Oh hell yeah. I'm guessing Undisputed + Roddy vs. Sanity + Sawyer Fulton coming back. Or maybe Drew and the UK guys. I'm so glad it's gonna be on a Takeover so I can trust that they won't gently caress it up.

I'll hand it to Dream, he's carrying his end of the Black feud way better than I expected. If he delivers in the ring he could be a made man even after losing.

I'm bummed Rush had to get taken out for the feud, but for something I had no hopes about this has become the most compelling angle they've done in a while. It's such a simple concept of putting two complete opposites together. I'm glad they're just running with it.

Cool show but it's a shame Rush was a prop in the Velveteen Dream/Aleistair Black feud (which I'm enjoying a lot).

That main event was cool, I honestly wonder how long Drew is gonna be around as champ before getting called back up to the main roster. I dig that Undisputed are courting Roddy.

I like that the feud is retconning all of Patrick Clark's bad gimmicks (and maybe even his Tough Enough stint) because the basis is that he just wants attention so he's trying to be provocative. I actually think it would be less successful if Dream had debuted as is because then Black would look like a prick ragging on him for who he is.

I hope it ends with Black accepting Dream for who he is and forming Black Velvet to win the Dusty.

Yeah the promo with him scornfully calling him Patrick was so good. It's like Russo done right.

I think the Dream/Black angle is one of the best angles WWEs done as a company in quite some time but I keep wondering when they're putting the belt on Black. The Takeover during Mania week maybe?

Also, the growth that Drew McIntyre has shown in that he can now put on a match as good as yesterdays main event is really something.
