NXT Takeover: Toronto 2019

[El Dragon]

Io going evil will make her hated at Full Sale and probably pretty loved everywhere. Cause badass Io is much better then happy babyface Io.

Io Shirai. My God.

So much this. It's refreshing to see a Japanese woman not being presented as some kind of childlike loli character.

[El Dragon]

Candice LaRae might be the only wrestler I can remember that I always prefer in Intergender matches then wrestling their own gender and it’s weird.

[KawadaSmile]

They've done Candice dirty with this feud. She's either the supportive friend who gets betrayed or the loving wife who has to deal with a impulsive but kind husband who's losing himself. Hard to really care about her, which is ridiculous given how talented she is.

[hammerva]

Safe to say this will be the best match in the Gargano family tonight

 

[KawadaSmile]

Uhhhh maybe a Crippler Crossface in Canada isn't the best idea

[...TG]

God, I cringe when anyone hits a reverse rana. Props to Candace and Io for bridging it into a nearfall though, that I haven't seen much.

[hammerva]

Holy shit that is a awesome finisher.  Not only are you choking her out with her legs but also wrapping her own arms around her neck as well

Candice probably got too much offense in the match but what a great match indeed

[sek69]

That finish was like something out of CMLL, tying the arm up like that.

[NintendoLogic]

Io is so much better as a heel, it's not even funny. Candice kicking out of the moonsault annoyed me, but they redeemed themselves with that submission finisher.

[KawadaSmile]

Very good stuff there. Maybe Shirai should've been even more of a dickhead heel, but we got a great underdog performance from Candice, and Io's just... impressive with her new look.

[...TG]

While I am surprised Slipknot are still around, I am not surprised to find one of their songs as the theme for a WWE event.

[Kevin Ridge]

I hate the reverse rana.  But also dislike Io's moonsault.  Just way too much velocity and I can't imagine what that is doing to her knees.  Time to retire it with new submission finisher for her personality change.  

[hammerva]

Oh are we getting Riddle vs Dain tonight?  Love it  

[KawadaSmile]

Matt Riddle! Let him squash (or get squashed by) Dain.

[El Dragon]

Dain is a classic case of a wrestler I can’t imagine looking at and not having anything for on the main show.

[...TG]

I'd criticize Matt Riddle wearing yoga pants, but if I had a body like that you better believe all my clothes would be skin tight.

EDIT: on further review he's wearing black jeans but my point stands.

[El Dragon]

Dain and Riddle just casually destroying security to get at each other is fun.

[NintendoLogic]

Why does Dain have his fists taped if he didn't have a match scheduled?

[hammerva]

Okay don't know if the "security" was needed on that bump but pretty damn awesome still

I am almost sure it's because of the body hair.

If I had to guess, was probably planning on jumping Riddle at some point.

[El Dragon]

Roderick Strong is one of those guys who has quietly had an absolutely amazing career when you consider his classics with Danielson and Gibson we’re literally 15 years ago.

[Kevin Ridge]

Could have done without the security stunt guy making the table spot look so contrived.  I was laughing at it for being so silly that it ruined the whole segment for me.  There was no point to having a third man in there.

[hammerva]

HOLY SHIT THE MOUNTIES THEME
