KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Dream wins just to give strength to rumors of Cole not re-signing, or Cole is yet again victorious? Quote
El-P Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Dream winning would get #DickPicsDontMatter trending. Quote
MoS Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 I don't understand why Hunter is so high on Adam Cole. He's not big, or jacked, and it's not as if NXT lacks great talent. But then again, a friend of mine pointed out that a wrestler constantly doing long promos and thinking he is funnier than he is would be right up HHH's alley, so there's that. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Posted June 7, 2020 Triple H pushes people that somewhat resemble him or the people he likes the most. It was like that with Roode, and it's like that with Adam Cole, who's pretty much mini HBK. Quote
cactus Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Should be a fun show! I never got the appeal of Adam Cole. He represents everything I don't enjoy in modern wrestling. At least his match with Dream has been pretaped, so I'm hoping more Cinematic Wrestling™ ridiculousness and less superkicks and flips ridiculousness. Quote

They are gonna make soap operas look tame. Quote
hammerva Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 I guess this will be the ultimate test of Velveteen Dream in seeing if he can have the 35 - 40 minute Triple H main event match. So far he hasn't had to have one which is actually a good thing I am guessing Gargano and Charlotte wins with Dream being the feel good moment of the Takeover. I would like to see Priest beat Balor but it really depends on whether Balor is actually going to be figthing for WALTER or the NXT regular championship Quote
C.S. Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 I'm here for the nostalgia. Hoping I win a house. Balor and Priest do nothing for me. I should be more excited for Lee vs. Gargano, but Lee should've been called up months ago. (Sorry, Johnny - contrary to what you may think, NXT is and always will be Developmental.) I'm more curious than excited for the main event. If Cole wins, I see him dropping it to Lee in short order. But I love the theme of the PPV, and NXT almost always over-delivers, so let's do this!

cactus Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 The nostalgia is strong with this opening. I couldn't stand Todd Pettengil as a kid, but it's good to see him. I love how Code Orange have become WWE's house band of sorts. Been following them for years. Quote
Blehschmidt Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Jesus Christ, I can't wait until WWE gets out of their shitty nu-metal phase. This "band" is fucking awful. Quote
hammerva Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Great that they were able to get Damian Priest to sing the Takeover theme song before his big match Quote
C.S. Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 I'm grateful for the band. Not because I like them, but because I was able to do a load of laundry while they were playing. Quote
cactus Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Looks like I'm PWO's sole nu-metal apologist! 4 suicide dives and planchas already and we are barely 20 minutes in. Pretty meh match. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Posted June 7, 2020 Decent TV match! They are so ready for the main roster. Can't wait for the start of the main card, though! Quote
hammerva Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 God I need to know who did that awful Lord Alfred Hayes impersonation on that commercial. The commercial was great but man that impersonation Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Posted June 7, 2020 Just now, C.S. said: Has anyone fallen as far as Finn Balor? Balor's alright. COVID put a wench on his feud versus WALTER. The fuck's Mauro talking about diapers Quote

No doubt he's fallen far since his main roster debut, but I think him being in NXT as a star is a better position to be in than being lost in the midcard on the main roster. On that note, I have zero interest in this match. I'm glad they are getting the stuff I'm interested out of the way though. Quote

KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Posted June 7, 2020 This match is actually good. Priest's been great. Quote

Mauro ain't helping but the horrible strike exchanges a few minutes ago took me completely out of it. Quote
C.S. Posted June 7, 2020 Report Posted June 7, 2020 Mauro is the saving grace but this match hasn't grabbed my attention. NASTY stairs bump by Priest though. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Posted June 7, 2020 The fuckkkkk that bump must've sucked Quote
