Won't be watching this Live due to the fucking Network, but i'll download it the day after even though i'm not big on any of the matches really.

Looks an okay lineup to me, but Tyler Breeze is a terrible name, someone should get on that one!

That's why you use WHSports and watch it live!

Exactly how I'll be watching! Cannot wait!

I'm looking forward to watching Takeover. The only match I really don't care for is Charlotte vs. Natalya... Charlotte is just horrible all around IMO. I think the other two "Main Event"matches will deliver seeing as all four guys are great in the ring. It'll be interesting to see what other "surprise" matches they'll put together during the show seeing as it's a two hour live show. Also, I'm hoping for the Ascension to lose the titles... I just haven't been able to buy into them for some reason so far. It'd be nice to see more tag teams to develop in NXT here soon.

Charlotte carried Natalya's ass to the best match of her wwe career.

And like I said Breeze is like Morrison but with actual charisma, mic skills, and ability to wrestle on a mat.

Those two were amazing last night.

Even the tag match was good, and the world title match was on point but not as great as the number one contender or women's match. There was a point where it seemed like Kidd and Neville were just doing shit to do it over wrestle like the other matches

 

[SanSooFighter]

I have to say that from what I saw of the Women's Title match (fell asleep half way through due to extreme sleep deprivation) it totally surprised me. Charlotte has come a long way from when I first saw her on NXT. She still has much to improve, but that can go for any talent you name really.

Overall, I thought Takeover was awesome! I loved that they were able to make the whole show about wrestling and leave the storytelling to the action in the ring, and every match told their story VERY well. The #1 Contender's match was match of the night for me. Both Zayn and Breeze are the top talents in NXT at the moment IMO.

I'm happy to say that there wasn't a single disappointing match on the show. Adam Rose vs. Camacho wasn't all that great, but it was a pretty good opening match.

 

[Dale]

I've still yet to see the show but I honestly don't get the fan fare for Breeze at all, the gimmick just seems lame as fuck and doomed for failure ala Fandango

 

[SanSooFighter]

Idk, there's just something about the way that Breeze comes off that just works... Although I may just be oddly biased as he comes off as wrestling's Zoolander to me lol. But I think that he shows a decent amount of depth with the character; more-so than Fandango has gotten to show with his on the main roster. But to each their own.

 

[Andrew]

I watched Takeover, honestly the card was great and the matches delivered.

Rose/Camacho wasn't too bad for an opening match. I loved seeing Mojo Rawley get his ass kicked by Rusev.

Breeze/Zayn & Kidd/Neville were amazing matches. A lot of people don't really like Breeze but he is extremely talented in the ring.

Yes, he's definitely pulling a Zoolander inspiration for his promos, which is great. He's kinda funny and can work in the ring. He'll need a tweak for the main roster, tbh. His whole gimmick makes him seem like a pussy. Much like HBK needed Foley to make him look like a legit badass that can be tough, someone will need that for Breeze. Also, he needs a new finisher. What the fuck?

Yeah, that's very true. But at the same time that could work to his advantage coming off as a complete puss when he first comes up. Gives a lot more depth for his character to be revealed as time goes on ala introducing a more vicious side to him in a later rivalry. Yeah his finisher being a spinning heel kick is a little weak, but at the same time it'd be nice to see some more simple finishers introduced as I think there have been some pretty odd/complex finishers that people have tried to introduce over time that just didn't work. But a different finisher would probably benefit him a bit more.
