Seems like that has turned into a regular gig. Not sure any of their most recent signees are big enough for that, though. KUSHIDA, maybe? Trevor Lee or ACH? I think KUSHIDA's New Japan deal is not up yet, could be wrong. Quote
Richeyedwards Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Kushidas last NJPW match is Vs tanahashi and I don't think that has happened yet Quote

Call me Pat Patterson Has every match so far on this show had a spot where they stop wrestling so they can deliver character establishing dialogue? I hope Vince never dies because I can't deal with random Smackdown matches having am dram lines when HHH is in charge. Quote
FMKK Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Jesus, the hair whip actually sliced her up Quote
hammerva Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Damn that is a huge cut from the hair whip A woman taking a ref bump: EQUALITY Bianca Belair is strong as fuck Quote
C.S. Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Who ran in during the ref bump? I missed it. Quote

Tenese Sarwieh Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Edwin called it, I take my hat off to you good sir. Quote

hammerva Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 While she probably should have won or lost by a DQ, at least they made her fight like hell on the submission almost powering out twice Quote
C.S. Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Great match, with near-submissions that actually felt suspenseful. But the ref's facial expressions are the dirt worst. Quote
FMKK Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 How is Shayna the most effective worker on this show when she's been in the business like a quarter of the time of most of the others on the card? Feel like Bianca should've just got the belt there and they move Shayna on up to the main roster. Quote
Stiva Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Dug that quite a lot. Shayna carries herself like a total star and they did just about everything they could to make Bianca look good in defeat. Nice attention to the limb work down the stretch from Bianca too which gets bonus points from me. If Shayna is moving up, I like the story of Bianca learning from this and winning next time out Quote
Edwin Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Star making performance for Bianca. Came out to an OK reaction, but had the EST chants going near the end of the match. Stipulation rematch at the next TakeOver I'm guessing. Quote
FMKK Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 We better get Shayna vs Ronda at some point Quote
hammerva Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 When did Marina Sharif break her nose? Can't remember seeing that mask before Quote
FMKK Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Think I'm gonna tap on this show before the main. I won't be able to stay awake for 45 minutes or whatever and the booking for these mains has been bad all year. The 24 special looks like good shit though. Quote
NintendoLogic Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 I guess the endgame is Shirai beating Shayna for the belt. In the meantime, Belair got over huge in defeat, which is all you can ask for. Quote
Edwin Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Gargano/Ricochet aside, this has been a really good show. Not on par with some of the past TakeOvers of course, but that's not a bad thing as there has been some pretty amazing TakeOvers in the past. Quote
sek69 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 It's kind of amazing that there really hasn't been a *bad* Takeover yet, just ones not as awesome as others. You'd think that the law of averages would get them at some point. Quote
hammerva Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Well you know this match is going 30 minutes based on the schedule. That is the norm with an NXT main event these days I don't know I would argue last Takeover was "bad" given how incredibly laborious the War Games match was. But not "bad" compared to other awful WWE PPV's this year. Quote
sek69 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Dream run in perhaps? Seems like that would be the point of showing him sitting front row. Quote

FMKK Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 This act of body shaming might get me sent to prison or whatever, but it's really disconcerting to me that Ciampa looks like hot dog that's been left under a heat lamp for way too long Quote
