Posted June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919455 Dream wins just to give strength to rumors of Cole not re-signing, or Cole is yet again victorious?
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919459 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.
June 7, 20205 yr Author comment_5919461 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.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919472 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.

They are gonna make soap operas look tame.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919474 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
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919475 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!
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919476 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.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919477 Jesus Christ, I can't wait until WWE gets out of their shitty nu-metal phase. This "band" is fucking awful.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919478 Great that they were able to get Damian Priest to sing the Takeover theme song before his big match
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919479 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.
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919481 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.
June 7, 20205 yr Author comment_5919482 Decent TV match! They are so ready for the main roster. Can't wait for the start of the main card, though!
June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919483 God I need to know who did that awful Lord Alfred Hayes impersonation on that commercial. The commercial was great but man that impersonation
June 7, 20205 yr Author comment_5919485 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

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.

June 7, 20205 yr comment_5919491 Mauro is the saving grace but this match hasn't grabbed my attention. NASTY stairs bump by Priest though.
