Over the Royal Rumble weekend I watched my 1st NXT Main event. At least one that was up to date. I had seen Takeover"Brooklyn 1 and 2 and 1 recent epsidoe of NXT where Asuka wanted "all of them".

Overall I think I like it better than the Royal Rumble which was a little bit above average.

Heading in I knew virtually nothing about the Wrestlers. I enjoyed the entire card and some props.

1. The setting. Not quite old school but not the over the top Smackdown/RAW lightshows. Slight AE era vibe.
2. The crowd. These NXT fans are quite vocal.
3. The theme songs, overall I like them but the SAnitY and Authors of Pain music stood out.
4. Costumes. Mostly AoP and SAnitY. Slight Demolition vibe form AoP.
5. I liked 5 mathces in particular- the Womens match, Shinsuke/Booby Roode match, SAnity, AoP one and the Tye Dillinger one.
6. The flow of the event. Not as long, less bullshit and ads to filter through.

Overall I liked it a lot maybe not as much as the UK tourney which is a toss up between that and the Survivor Series for best PPV type event.

Much like the UK event I found it easy to get into knowing virtually nothing about the wrestlers or plot lines.

Triple HHH might be a bit to good at this booking thing.

NXT TakeOver events are great, I don't think I've seen them score any lower than 7 in rate threads here.

I honesty didn't know what this thread would be about from the title...
I thought it might be one of those "overshare" stories...but I'm glad its not.

I've only watched 3 TakeOvers in full...and they were all fantastic...and
I'm glad you enjoyed "your first"

NXT is a great product...

NXT evokes a bit of a darker mood/ more gritty. At least that is the feel I get form it.

Also like Glorious and the SAnitY music.

the SAnitY music.
I know right? Its such a good tune...

I honestly can't wait for that music to start playing on a main roster show...
Or...
May-be have the group debut in the front row on RAW/SmackDown...their
music starts up and then the spotlight shines on them...they then jump the
barricade and cue Eric Young promo about anarchy and chaos.

And then Nikki Cross fights Bayley and destroys her...lol
