Dude, BabyMetal are playing there!

Man can someone explain Roode to me? I never seen him in TNA and his highlights look solid, but to get a Nakamura like reaction....am I missing something from my fellow Canuck?

[Rob]

There was a period of about 2 years when Roode was the best heel on the planet.

Roode has the stuff to be HHH in 03 minus the racist WM stuff. Great ring work, great mic skills. I still think he can be the best heel in the planet, just a matter of not being in TNA. Thus far, looks like he's getting the right treatment thus far.

The crowd was chanting at Ellering, they didn't start until he came out and people started looking at him. I can watch Alphamericans v Revival forever. They're both great teams that compliment both themselves and the other team very well. The same can not be said for Joe and Balor, I was done with them 3 minutes into the match.

Also, Duckman, care to explain to me how Nia is "green as hell" to you? people keep using that term for others and I cringe whenever someone uses that phrase. I don't think she's green. If she was, well damn I'm afraid of seeing her when she isn't. I think she's pretty good. I was happy they booked her so strong. And as far as La Sombra, he'll be fun to watch IF he has a character to him.

[Duckman]

She's inexperienced, hence she's green. She looks hesitant and lost on occasions during her matches. Not her fault, she's only just learning her trade. She's been put into a position she's not ready for, but doing the best she can. The level of quality in nxt's women's matches have probably set the bar too high, but yeah, she's green. But like I said, she's got a look that stands out and with a year or so more experience she'll be a main roster star.

[T-Bonizzle]

Nia looks like she's acting on a theatre stage rather than looking like a wrestler. She's getting better, but I find her very unconvincing at times.

[Jon]

Nia does nothing for me right now. She is actually quite boring IMO. 

[Drama Queen]

Well last night's Takeover was amazing. I often worry that the standard of these events has been set so high that the quality is going to fade, but that is not happening yet.

The tag title match was probably MOTN for me, but damn, it had some competition!

The main event itself was crazy, I was really being pulled in emotionally. From a booking point of view, I was leaning toward keeping the title on Joe for now, but from a fan point of view it's so hard not to root 100% for someone as charismatic as Nakamura and as the match progressed I was behind him more and more.

I just love when a match turns me into a fully believing mark.

Asuka vs Bayley was almost perfect, the champ radiating confidence, the challenger full of nerves and almost desperation. They both really played the parts in a fitting climax to what has been a great story.

And what a debuting entrance from Bobby Roode! Glorious is the perfect buzzword for him.

Aries/ Jose was a great opener. And whilst Ember Moon's debut did little more than say "I'm here" I am quite excited to see more from her.

All in all a great night of wrestling.

[Rob]

I think it was too damn much to ask them to match the first Takeover in Brooklyn. This was very, very good but that first one was s much more special and I think the wrestling was just much better. It was difficult for Aries and Roode as nobody really cared a great deal about their opponents.

I agree  this was a great show ...  Ember Moon finisher was off the chain.  It made my jaw drop.  I thought Billy Kay did a great job also.

GTS ...got to love it

No way Jose  did a great job  in the match.  Cien was also great in his match , he and Roode had great Chemistry together.  He did a back off the top rope and stuck the landing it was awesome.  My friend was over to watch this with me and he loves the match , the only problem he had was he wish Roode had a more impactful finisher.

Tag Team Match was just awesome , I would like to see another one.

Baley vs Asuka was fantastic,  I predicted how it was going to end , and I love it

Joe vs Nakumara... I love we got to see some great technical wrestling from  them .

Roode Entrance was Glorious

Nakmaura Entrance was awesome ...

I really enjoy the show , great birthday

Uhhhh people love NWJ, Cien is flat as week old soda, but he got a pop or two. My biggest problem with him is he's hesitation when he goes to springboard and it takes me out of the match.

Last night was pretty close to last year, I prefer this year tho.

Also, NWJ has the face selling down, and despite the loss, came out looking better than he did coming in.

[Rob]

People were way more into Aries than they were Jose, chanting his name and cheering when he won.

Hideo Itami coming out was great, despite those God awful shoes.
