El Dragon

The fucking booking on this show, man. Still though, that match fucking ruled.

Shock because it didn't feel like the finish, rather than at the result. No, that was at the result I feel. That crowd LOVES Bayley. Her losing the title was a pretty big deal.

Worth the price of admission?

Sooo... Are we getting a reaction show for this show tonight, because I'll be pretty bummed if we don't.

I should say, they wrestled before the PPV, from what I understand. So it might be recorded, but it wasn't on the show or preshow.

So, this is by far the best Takeover ever. How high are we willing to go? Can we name some better WWE shows of the last decade?

Loved the match, fucking hated the finish. That was Joe's night man. Crowd went in rooting for Finn, left rooting for Joe.

There is nothing that could have helped this match more then Joe getting busted open and killing Finn for a while anyway.

Beer Money in the tag division would be pretty awesome, no lie.

Pre-Showed.

People are gonna watch that later without the Zayn/Nakamura cool down and realize that it was a fucking brilliant match. God that was great too.

Good on the crowd for staying hot. It would be incredibly easy to burned out by that.

Wow.... Fucking wow man.That was fucking beautiful. I had no idea Sami had a Nakamura style match in him, but fucks sake he was there with Nakamura every bit of the way. Fucking amazing.

Usually I hate overly chanty crowds a bit, but this just seems like people who are so incredibly happy the match is happening and they are they to see it.

I think the problem you could have with that match is the size difference took away from it, but good god did Aries try everything to make it feel more even. And Corbin is really good.

Best part about that ending: Revival have a legitimate claim that they got screwed. Jordan was the legal man, Gable got the pin. Also, hi there Ibushi.

It's being ran during an NXT taping setup, so it surely seems like it's a Trips project completely.

I laugh when people say "I might not be the high voter on anyone" and want to mention they had to put someone at 1, so you were at least tied for high vote there! Upon further thought, I have a legitimate case for high vote for Eddie Guerrero, Regal, and Finlay.

I got Bryan higher then 4, I will say. Tajiri, Austin, Eaton, Cesaro, Christian, and a bunch of mid 2000's US Indy guys I'm a legitimate shot of being high vote for.

Regal or Bryan as possibilities perhaps?

Actually looking it over, Eddie Kingston is probably the oddest guy on my list, but that was a really late vote. Paul London at 70 is probably really high for a guy with just a few years at peak performance. Oh, and thank you Jimmy Redman for opening my eyes to Yoshiniro Ogawa. Gave him a good shot, and ended up with him at 60.

Alright, done and done. Notable odd inclusions in terms of placement 15. Yoshihiro Tajiri 29. Cesaro 39. Christian 55. Matt Hardy 57. Roderick Strong 69. El Mesias I'm also curious if I'm the only person with Jeff Hardy on there ballot.

Turned in my ballot, I kinda hate it, but it's about what I valued in an in-ring performer, so there's that. I'll go ahead and say I'll be very surprised if I'm not the high vote on Tajiri.

The only thing that makes me sad about the CZW feud is I imagine if the Homicide/Maff whatever didn't happen, how amazing Maff would have been in Whitmers role, and how much better the story would have been.

Welp, you asked for it. My ballot might be the weirdest you get.
