NXT Takeover Brooklyn 2 8/20/16

I checked out Asuka/Bayley and Joe/Nakamura. Botch aside, the women's match was pretty solid, but Asuka having to respect Bayley's Diva-tier offense was kind of annoying. It'd be like if Toshiaki Kawada had to sell for Shawn Michaels. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the NXT title match. Maybe all the video game wrestling on display at Summerslam lowered my expectations, but seeing an actual wrestling match built around strikes and matwork felt like a breath of fresh air. At first blush, I'm prepared to call it the best singles match in the US this year. After seeing all the love the Revival tag is getting, I'll make sure and check it out as well. I really like what I've seen from them so far, so I'm sure it'll be right up my alley.

That's a weird thing to say. Especially since Kawada has worked against guys like Rob Van Dam & even was in HUSTLE.

Plus... Bayley's offense looks so much better than Michaels.
