I'm assuming there is some sort of long-term plan with Andrade Almas/La Sombra but I'm not really feeling him too much yet.

If you bring in a coolguy luchador and you plan on unmasking him anyway, how about actually bringing him in masked and then have him get unmasked during his first feud. Would make a natural progression for him and give him a reason for fighting.

I've been waiting for WWE to sign Shane Matthews for a good six years. They better loving do it. He is such a natural fit for WWE.

Oh and Scott Parker can come along as well. (I kid, I love him too)

Also, I just kinda owned myself.

I read about the Eddie Kingston tryout and caught myself thinking "man, Eddie Kingston has to be so old and busted up by now, what does WWE want with him?" and then I realised he's literally only 3 days older than me.

I also haven't seen Eddie wrestle since whatever he did in Chikara in like 2010 but he was pretty drat broken down back then.

Way to go WWE, firing a woman for being pregnant.


Of course, she could just have been a terrible wrestler. I didn't follow any of the Tough Enough stuff and I all I know is that one picture of the one guy running towards a fastfood restaurant.

They aren't actually leaked at all. They're on the NXT twitter account.

I thought Takeover was a thoroughly medium show.

Tye keeps getting jobbed to people for no reason. The tag match was alright considering AOP are still very green.
The fatal four-way was too short and I would've liked some sort of come-back spot for Nikki, preferably just her crawling towards the ring as Asuka wins. Just something to show her toughness. The main event never really clicked for me but the injury spot was well done.

I liked Almas-Roddy but that's about it.

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.

Sawyer Fulton is better off​ taking classes at Full Sail than lifting weights at the PC. He's a poo poo wrestler and always will be. The only legacy he'll leave is having the most embarrassingly bad tattoos ever seen on NXT.

You say that, but Baron Corbin and Corey Graves were right there.

NXT's always had lovely buttrock themes for their Takeovers. I wonder if it's just a running gag at this point.

Hell, its better than the main WWE PPVs being wall-to-wall nu-metal from the late 90s/early 00s.

I don't know why it makes me laugh whenever I see it, but tweets just referring to a wrestler as "NXT female" is very funny to me.
It is as if the tweets were written by a robot.

Takeover was a good event and I'm happy that Pete Dunne won. He's a good lad.

My main takeaway from this event was that Gargano either got hit in the head for real or is an incredible seller.

My wife and I would love to watch an all women's show, especially if it promotes less diva/stripper gimmicks among its performers. The wrestling and wrestlers in Stardom are (were?) tremendous, but its just to inaccessible. Unlike most, we've enjoyed 205, even though its no comparison to the Cruiserweight Classic. If they can replicate that for the women, I'll be happy enough.

Stardom has their own streaming service, doesn't get much more accessible.

Just got done watching NXT and man, that main event was something else. It wouldn't have been out of place on a Takeover card.

I was also pleased to see my favourite wrestling ghoul, Oney Lorcan get to beat up on a boring japanese man.

The two songs they played were loving terrible. Then again, I expect nothing else from WWE.

Whoever is in charge of their music (and I'm suspecting Corey Graves here) really likes lovely nu-metal/metalcore stuff.
