February 16, 20205 yr comment_5910813 I'm going to be watching this show, but then again I'm a really big NXT fan - although the TV show over the past couple of weeks and the buildup has been pretty lacklustre. A couple of these matches have the potential to be very good, I am especially looking forward to the Tag Team Title match, as long as it doesn't devolve into spot-fu. I'm all over Lee vs. Dijakovic again, I loved their previous matches...I love me a good hoss fight. Both women's matches have promise. I am actually kind of ambivalent about Cole vs. Ciampa and Balor vs. Gargano. I'm not a huge fan of Ciampa as a babyface, and neither Balor or Gargano do much for me. But I'm still looking forward to the show. I'm not going to post along as I watch the show because I just want to sit back and enjoy it and not be typing away furiously while I do, but I'll share my thoughts at some point after the show is over. I'm sure everybody will be breathless with anticipation over that.
February 16, 20205 yr comment_5910816 This looks like it could be a really solid show even if a match or two doesn't click as expected.
February 16, 20205 yr comment_5910818 Mansoor out here looking like a star on this pre show, it helps that the crowd really hates Sam Roberts.

I never watch the weekly NXT show but TakeOvers are almost always good. This show on paper looks pretty solid as well, so I'm watching. The crowd already seems pretty hype.
February 16, 20205 yr comment_5910821 I'll be honest, I completely forgot about Mauro's involvement with NXT & his entrance just took all the wind out of my sails.

February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910824 Nothing like starting off with a hoss fight to get a show kicked off proper-like.
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910826 I stuck this on because I'll probably need do work into the wee hours and did Mauro just drop a Buddy Rose reference?
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910827 Keith Lee vs Donovan Dijakovic really hasn't had a bad match this feud. My only worry is that it turns into most Takeover matches and goes about 15 minutes too long

Kim Chee is going to come back and put the mask on you. It will possess you, goddamnit, and you'll become the NEW Kamala. That'll be some good shit!!!
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910833 Keith Lee sending motherfuckers flying with a Pounce will never not be awesome.
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910834 Jesus Dijak couldn't have had more than 5 or 6 inches of space on that landing and it was perfect
February 17, 20205 yr Author comment_5910836 Wrestling is at its best when its two huge dudes beating the FUCK out of each other.
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910837 OK, that Spirit Bomb kickout was nuts. This match has been a ton of fun.
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910839 After a slow, uncertain start that turned into a great match. Loved Dijakovic's fighting spirit after the Spirit Bomb. The springboard flip dive and Spanish Fly spots were nuts.
February 17, 20205 yr comment_5910840 Lee/Dijakovic was out of this world through the Spirit Bomb near fall. I thought their prior encounters here and in other promotions always delivered even if they weren't great. This was GREAT. It waned a bit after that big spot but had a good finish while still protecting Dijakovic. Loved it! ****1/4 in my book.
February 17, 20205 yr Author comment_5910841 People on Twitter saying this went long but it actually didn't feel over 15 minutes at all IMO. Dunno what y'all think.
