JGPLX. Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Some of Mauro's commentary really put me off. The constant pop culture references and self-censoring lines are Matt Striker levels of lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 https://twitter.com/kimberlasskick/status/1160380167879090176?s=19 https://twitter.com/WWENXT/status/1160387758080155649?s=19 Following the amazing main event at NXT TakeOver: Toronto, Johnny Gargano walked towards the stage area and he got a standing ovation from the crowd at the Scotiabank Arena.As you can see below, he was joined on the stage by William Regal. Regal gave him a hug and it came across to fans in attendance as if this his was goodbye to the brand. Gargano was briefly moved up to the main roster earlier this year and he wrestled a few tag team matches with partner Tommaso Ciampa but he was still officially part of NXT at that time. Now it looks like Gargano might be making a permanent move to Raw or SmackDown Live. We should know more for sure in the next few days. For those of you that missed TakeOver: Toronto, I would strongly suggest for you to check out that show on the WWE Network. Here is a clip of Gargano after the show. https://twitter.com/AminAjani/status/1160373752464576514?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=safari-reader%3A%2F%2Fwrestlingnews.co%2Fwwe-news%2Ftop-wwe-nxt-star-moving-up-to-the-main-roster%2F https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/top-wwe-nxt-star-moving-up-to-the-main-roster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Hell Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 The women's title match was definitely the weakest match. Expected more from the match and specifically expected more from Mia. But overall the show was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 The Baszler match was shite. Just like every other match Baszler has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I kind of agree with that twitter post saying NXT is missing something. Toronto was def a fun show but i really didnt have any investment in not one of the matches. And man did that womens title match make me eyeroll.

BestInTheWorld614 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think its a mix of a couple things for NXT. Its very much a transitional phase where there is a lot of talent that needs to be built up which is why you have been having a lot of the same in the main event scene. NXT used to have a much more fluid main event scene but I think the overall roster is lacking compared to the past and thats due to the many call ups over the past year. Also I do feel like some of the matches, especially the tag title and main event matches are trying too hard to top themselves. Yes they are still good but even when there is a story behind the match like Cole/Gargano, when you try to kinda shut your brain off and enjoy the story it still just feels like doing moves just to keep having a crazy match. I kind of want NXT to take a step back and go back to the simple approach and let the characters and stories make the match instead of all the crazy sequences and near falls.

Senex Beast Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I still enjoyed the show but after thinking about it, yeah you're all right! The only real investment I had for the wrestlers on the card were Io and Velveteen. Which is weird for nxt and especially a takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I guess I gotta rewatch the Io vs LeRae match because I had to get up and do something which kinda killed my flow tbh. I thought it worked good but I never got too into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 It annoys me to no end that that wasnt the Womens title match and it shouldve been since Io shouldve won the belt last Takeover. So frustrating sometimes ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'm more invested into VD than anyone. I have been for a minute. Everyone else is cool, I guess... but outside of them being those type of wrestlers who simply have "fun matches", what else do they bring? VD actually manages to do both - he's charismatic as *Censored* AND has a fun matches almost all the time. It annoys me to no end that that wasnt the Womens title match and it shouldve been since Io shouldve won the belt last Takeover. So frustrating sometimes ugh I felt like it was a good move for Io to not win the title so soon. Io honestly has never gotten that much of a reaction from the crowd up until now when she turned heel anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 If Io won the title then the whole character change and match wouldnt have been what it was. Nothing wrong with a solid womens match not being for the title. Just WWE has conditioned most to feel that the women should be feuding for the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Velveteen Dream is a total package! He's the face of NXT in my eyes and 2K or wwe may feel that way too as he's the only NXT talent featured in the wwe2k10 trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Kind of a weak show by NXT standards. Still good, but a bottom tier takeover. SP vs UE - It picked up, but it really dragged to start off. Once it got good, it stayed good. Io vs Candice - REALLY good. Io needs to tone down on the Nikki Cross spasms though. The long, dark stares are much better to get her character across. Both women came across as stars though. NA title match - my MotN, everything about this match kicked ass Shayna vs Yim - Meh. Nothing special. Mia Yim was a total filler challenger and I had a hard time paying attention. Gargano vs Cole - It was a bit much for me. I liked the first two falls a lot, but that third fall felt very, I dunno, indy. Tons of canadian destroyers, absurd stipulation, it was kind of overkill. Still fun, but I was just pulled from the immersion a few times too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 When Cole kicked out of a top rope Canadian Destroyer i was like mmmmm yeah this a bit much guys lol like does someone gotta pull out the 22 to the head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Lights Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I wanted TUE to win the tag titles and then face Breezango Tbf now we probably get Street Profits vs Breezango, which could have an amazing build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senex Beast Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 As an HBK guy, that's why it bothered for a long time lol but I'm used to it now and am okay with it but was just saying I hope the Canadian Destroyer doesn't become like that but it eventually probably will as wrestling changes with the times as it did from the old days to the 80's and the 90's to now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
