After that last TakeOver it occurred to me I really don't watch enough NXT and need to change that.

I think there's a word to describe his theme song, but I'm blanking on it. Something... with "ous" in it... Glamorous? Hm, no, not quite it...

Fabulous?

So speaking as someone who doesn't usually watch weekly NXT - since you can watch TakeOver on the Network and on Hulu, who exactly needs these recaps?

the wrestlers, who do not want to do another round of taping two days after a massive event, and the production team, who do not want to edit together an episode in 24 hours

That does make sense, and I guess just putting more dark matches on the TakeOver card to try and fill the episode would run the risk of exhausting the live crowd.

I do quite appreciate that the booking of that match was "Bayley spent tons of time scouting the Asuka Lock, successfully broke it, unfortunately didn't scout getting kicked in the face really loving hard."

Yeah, I thought it was a good followup to the previous two TakeOvers. She's cognizant of the move that took her down in Dallas, but failed to take into consideration what destroyed Nia Jax at The End. Meanwhile Asuka gets to look like a multi-threat in the ring.

Authors of Pain look like Vince got so fed up with the repeated failed gimmicks of the Shining Stars and started testing military strength experimental steroids on them.

And also gave them some more compelling characters as "big guys who are big."

goddamn I love Nakamura's theme so much. Apparently, they based it off of Final Fantasy final boss fights.

That is maybe the least surprising thing I've ever read, but in a good way. They absolutely nailed that feeling.

If you're at a house show The Revival are who you want, because they work almost as hard in front of 150 people as they do in front of 15,000

So you're saying they work hard all day and all night?

I really want them to do something different with Gargano and Ciampa. Have them rise up the ranks of NXT, then WWE, with everyone thinking they're going to split and one is going to turn against the other. But no, friendship prevails and they're BFFs forever, and sometimes they challenge each other to singles matches because it's fun.

And then in the ultimate swerve Gargano turns on Ciampa at the Hall of Fame induction!
