The Wrestling Thread Lured You In And Brought You Down! - Part 243

[Dr. Evil]

A little spoiler on Adam Cole:

Spoiler

He said goodbye to PWG tonight. Also at PWG tonight is Kyle O'Reilly, Zack Sabre Jr., Lio Rush, Keith Lee and Matt Riddle, all of whom will be on a flight to Chicago from Los Angeles for Evolve 84 in the afternoon. I wonder if Cole is going to be on the same flight.

Dunne and Bate are putting on a MOTY contender right now

Dunne and Bate are putting on a MOTY contender right now

Gonna be hard to top that match for the rest of the night..

I wonder who will be the new challenger for the title now.

 

[cabel]

I resubscribed to to Progress because of that.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I am behind. The UK Championship match just ended. The first two matches were fantastic, especially the title match. Good lord.

 

[Broseph44]

UK title match was ****ing great Darth

UK title match was ****ing great Darth

Watching NXT Takeovers make everything else WWE produces feel kind of blah in comparison. AJ Styles matches aside.

 

[Broseph44]

Heel turn what!

 

[OnTheAir]

Heck of a heel turn. They were patient and played the long game with that one...it has been teased at least since the Cruiserweight Classic, if not longer.

 

[The Chris]

My soul is crushed. Okay when are the Takeover Brooklyn 3 tickets going on sale. I need my ticket now!

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Very fun show. One of the most fun times I've had at a live show.

UK match was phenomenal, 5 stars, would've gotten 6 if at the Tokyo Dome.

Paul Ellering look-a-like next to me, got suspicious when the match wasn't happening, then it did.

Was the only guy booing Ciampa until he turned heel.

CM Punk chants were quickly shut down with boos.

 

[Kaleb]

watching highlights on Takeover,and I didn't notice until now but Eric Young's wrestling style really does remind me of Steve Austins earlier style of wrestling.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Authors of Pain were good today.

I wasn't surprised at No Adam Cole. I did smile when I saw Kevin "The Face of America" Owens in attendance. I like AJ Styles, but the Face of America is going to retain the title.

Ciampa heel turn......the end of #DIY means either the return of TM61 or that these guys are coming soon to NXT:

Card of the year until further notice imo. That was all around, fantastic. Every match was great. And that ending was pretty perfect.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Larry Csonka from 411 Mania gave the card a 9.3 out of 10.

 

[Dr. Evil]

And this is a card without Drew McIntyre, Andrade Almas, Aleister Black and Kassius Ohno.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The Rock on SNL with Tom Hanks!

 

[Dr. Evil]

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Interesting, so the game was there after all.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

The dude that sweeps the ring was over.

 

[NDX]

My soul is crushed. Okay when are the Takeover Brooklyn 3 tickets going on sale. I need my ticket now!

You and me both. Can't wait for this show to come up.

 

[Dr. Evil]

As much as I want to see Adam Cole, Lio Rush, Kyle O'Reilly, Donovan Dijak, Crazzy Steve and probably Bobby Fish in NXT, I think NXT should slow down on the signings for a bit until they get cleared out. Make sure that McIntyre and Black are on the card for Brooklyn. You then have Gargano, Ciampa, Strong, Ohno, McIntyre, Almas, Black and Roode as well as Asuka vs. Ember and AoP vs. either Heavy Machinery or TM-61.

If NXT then gets mass roster call-ups after Summerslam, then I think NXT can reload with Cole, Rush, Steve, Dijak and reDRagon.

Black and McIntyre have basically replaced Nakamura and Dillinger on NXT.

NXT taping spoilers from All-State

Alleister Black beat Hawkins

One of the Tough Enough guys from a couple of years ago beat a local jobber

McIntyre beat Blake. Big Blake fan near me kept shouting "Way to go Texas!"

 

[Dr. Evil]

Hopefully the NXT roster (minus a few PC folks making their official NXT debuts and the WWE UK Guys) is set for a while.
