So this is the card for the Takeover Show on Saturday
only match worth watching is the 4 way
nxt is depleted as fuck
>>2174028
absolutely based
Talk about a step down from that Toronto card.
>>2174028
Damn this pales in comparison to nxt takeover Dallas
>>2174028
Hyped for the fatal four way. Nothing else really appeals to me. Nakamura and Roode will have meme match
>>2174066
We're looking at very real possibility of it being 100% downhill after the entrances.
NXT fucking sucks
>>2174072
Dueling singing for 20 minutes
>>2174028
based fuckin Roddy
>>2174077
>Violinists fighting a choir while Nak makes spazzy gestures and Roode poses.
I'd watch the shit outta that
>>2174073
It does? I never fucking watch it. I already have 5hours of shit on tv and additional 4 hour pay per views
>>2174073
Yet it btfos the main roster every time. This will be the first Takeover that's weaker than the ppv on the same weekend
>>2174113
NXT is just barely better than Raw and SD and 205 demolishes both
>>2174124
Takeovers and the CWC are easily the best things to come out of WWE since RA Smackdown.
>>2174028
>actually having to click to see who nakamura was
should've cleaned those cookies OP
>>2174031
>Absolute shit overall.
welcome to NEXT
Still better than RAM
Smackdown = A Show
NXT = B Show
RAM = C Show
Midgetweights = D Show
>>2174028
There's a real possibility that the Takeover will be worse than the Main Roster show for the first time in ages.
>>2174310
You're aware you're comparing a 2 hr show vs a 6 hr show
>>2174028
>Spazzy Meme Gook vs Meme Entrance CAW man
>/diy/ vs 3 minute warning 2.0
>Fatgooka vs Literally Who and 2 meme divas
>Le 10 man vs Poor Mans Bryan
>Who?
The state of this shitty developmental brand
>>2174028
TNA as fuck
>>2174594
Not a bad thing desu
TNA had really great personalities in their history, they were just a really shitty company
>>2174598
>TNA had really great personalities in their history
I too enjoyed the work of CAW #14
>mfw I have been agreeing with Triphammer on wrestling and politics all night
>>2174598
Aside from Jeff Jarrett burying people like Haitch did they were pretty well with what they have.
>>2174604
It's almost like I'm fucking right or something..
>>2174028
>NXT Takeover: JUST Edition
save us fat kass
>>2174610
GOAT
>>2174587
And?
>>2174639
Fat kass will make nxt great again when he beats nakameme with one (1) elbow
It'll end up better than Royal Rumble, just watch.
>>2174692
I like your delusional gimmick
>NXMeme
>>2174692
this. oh boy a crusty old anti-draw is winning again. big fucking deal
>>2174700
takeovers have been better than the last 3 main shows they've accompanied
>>2174713
Don't worry I'm a huge faggot just like you
>>2174714
You need some rest Vince
>>2174713
1) I'd call Survivor Series weekend a toss-up. Did TakeOver have the match of the year? Yes. Survivor Series had some really good shit though. That men's match was a fucking roller coaster.
2) Being better than the Royal Rumble is a LOT HARDER than being better than SummerSlam or Survivor Series. If they don't book it like retards, the Rumble is the best PPV of the year because there's just so much pure wrestling in it. Unfortunately, "don't book it like retards" ain't a guarantee after the last couple years!
Still. This Rumble card is absolutely stacked and NXT is the absolute opposite of that right now. DIY, Nak and Asuka would have to work their asses off and there'd have to be several EXTREME blunders in the Rumble for TakeOver to win this time.
>>2174724
>Being better than the Royal Rumble is a LOT HARDER than being better than SummerSlam or Survivor Series.
Have you watched the last 2 rumbles?
No it is not.
>>2174724
Asuka's best is like a 2 star match so she is no help
>>2174725
Those two Rumbles were still a lot of fun in and around all of the BIG DOG OOOOHAAAAAH and the second is really funny in retrospect because it actually makes Roman look like a huge fucking loser in basically every way. The '16 Rumble is actually pretty darn watchable right now.
'15, yeah, after the crowd turns on it, it basically is totally unwatchable except to see the degree to how much they fucking despise it.
I can't think of anything they could do that could tank it as bad as 2015, though. Nobody's as over and as wanted as Bryan was (good...job, Vince?) and Roman's not even in the match.
>>2174729

Weird how she's never had below a 2.5, then.
>>2174731
>le meltz stars
Meaningless. He's openly biased towards gooks
>>2174734
That's dynamite. Bye now.
>>2174731
>"Asuka's best is like a 2 star match so she is no help"
>brings up meltzer's spazzy ratings
kek
>>2174587
RR pre-show doesn't count, nobody watches it, and looking at the current card it looks more like just over 3 hours. But not sure what your point is anyway.
>>2174725
The last Royal Rumble was pretty good. It was certainly a magnitude better than Summerslam 2016.
>>2174028
This card looks absolutely garbage.
> Shinsuke has been a flop as champ
> TNA reject who cuts cringeworthy promos will likely be a heel midcarder at best
The dueling chants in my mind already give me fucking nightmares.
> NA NAA NAA NAAAA NAAAAA NAH
> GLORIOUS
> CAWs vs. Shield with sandniggers
> No over female talent so chuck them all together and hope for the bezt
> Meme vs. Dead TNA memelord
> No charisma ROH CAW vs. A guy who actually has a future if the NxMeme audience would get off his ass because he's actually based
Fuck NXT.
>>2174604
Broken faggot watches are still right twice a day...
da woyal wumble
da sheeld
>>2174713
When has a Takeover not been superior to a main roster show?
>>2174859
>complaining about Sombra actually getting heel heat
>>2174745
>uses star ratings
>complains when the innovator of them is brought up
>>2174859
>Asuka isn't over
Idiot
>>2175081
TakeOver Dallas was so much better than WrestleMania 32
>>2175098
but the rest of TakeOver has been, from my point of view, worse.
>>2175102
Your point of view is fucking asinine.
But please, list all the Takeovers you think were outperformed by that month's main roster show.
For comedy's sake.
roddy can put on great matches but his height will hold him back big time
>>2174028
>Great
>Great
>Great
>Shit
>Shit
>>2174028
Who's more likely for the Rumble?
Nakamura or Roode?
Senior Joe is obviously already confirmed
>>2174073
I could forgive NXT if it were strictly just developmental.
The more experienced faces are a hindrance at this point.
>>2175191
>still not knowing what the veterans are there for
>>2175188
Nakamura maybe but I woouldn't expect either.
>>2175274
I know what they're for. The fact that everyone still can't talk on the mic is more alarming with them there, but could be forgiven if they weren't
>>2175315
I somehow doubt that guys like Roddy Strong were hired to coach promos.
Honestly the four way match should just be Nikki and Asuka fighting it out with Billie and Peyton outside the ring bantering on the mic
I'd mark out
>>2175561
>Billie speaking
Could we not?
Is the revival getting called up or something?
What brand are they going to?
On the same subject, what brand is Joe going to? Any other callups?
>>2175578
They were going to feud with TM-61 but Shane needed knee surgery.
>>2175578
Joe's going to SD, so he can face AJ at Mania, so the show can have its "smark wet dream," so the hardcore fans can give a shit about the show.
>>2175586
>implying marks won't go BANANA! for that match
>>2175586
Is any of this confirmed or just speculation? He would be based on /smack/
>>2175594
What does NXT have to do with Joe & Styles anon?
One wasn't even on there.
>>2175596
I'm saying that because I'm kinda doubtful they'd give a shit about Joe.
Is Joe gonna get the biggest pop at the rumble? I would say Oldberg but it's not like he's a debut/surprise.
>>2175600
They'll give a shit about him pretty quick when they see how GOAT he is.
>>2175602
Eh, Joe hasn't exactly been that great since 2008 or so. He's still great don't get me wrong, but he hasn't been on the level he used to be for the last 8-9 years.
>>2175609
Modern Joe is still easily a top-tier guy in any locker room in the world.
And he's clearly better than he was during his final years in TNA.
>>2175618
Eh, nah. I still love Joe, but there's a good number of talent I'd say is on par, or better than him.
>>2175601
Unless there's a surprise debut or return, Joe and Tye at 10 will get the biggest pops.
MAYBE Taker. It is San Antonio, he's gonna be over as fuck either way.
>>2175678
They're not actually having Dillinger come out 10th....are they?......
I assumed this was a meme spawned by reddit dream-booking
>>2174028
Their is nothing on this card worth watching
What the fuck happened to No Way Jose? Weren't they hyping him to the moon last year with teaser promos and now he's not even on the card. Or is he injured?
>>2175773
He was last seen with Billie Kay, driving her around
>>2175718
Nobody except them knows, but there's no reason to think they wouldn't if he's coming up.
>>2175188
Roode. Nakamura is not losing. No way.
>>2175578
No, The Revival have months left in NXT. They are not part of the iminent call up group and will continue their feud with TM61 when Shane comes back. Revival may well be there until the summer
>>2175191
Completely agree. NXT from 2014 was considerably better than the current product. I understand why veterans are needed, but how will they create new guys to take over once the vets are gone if they keep doing the same shit?
>>2175586
Joe is absolutely not going to Smackdown. They are overflowing with upper midcard and main event heels. He's going to RAM which utterly lacks credible heels.
>>2175838
>imminent call up group
Joe
...??? who else?
>>2175842
>Plans can always change but several top WWE NXT Superstars are in the current "Terry Taylor class" at the WWE Performance Center, which is the class that grooms talents who are being considered right now for "somewhat imminent" sports on WWE's main roster.
According to The Wrestling Observer, Superstars who are in the current class are TM-61, Hideo Itami, Kassius Ohno, Elias Samson, Tye Dillinger, Alexander Wolfe, Andrade "Cien" Almas, NXT Tag Team Champions Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa and NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.
Roode and Joe don't train at the PC so nobody knows for sure what the plan is for them right now
>>2175846
Also
>The next group under the current class, which aren't considered to be somewhat imminent but are the ones who will be moved up to the next class when top talents are called up, are The Authors of Pain, Roderick Strong, Dan Matha, Blake, Murphy, The Revival, Riddick Moss, Tino Sabbatelli, Aleister Black (Tommy End), Killian Dain (Big Damo) and Oney Lorcan.
>>2175849
Haven't the revival been in NXT for a long time by now? I know the one just had surgery but I'm surprised they're not in the "imminent call-up" group especially after dropping the titles.
>>2175846
>According to The Wrestling Observer
>>2175851
Haitch knows they're going to flop on the main roster so he's getting all he can out of them on NXT
>>2175855
If /smack/ didn't have a tag divison full of shit jobbers like the vaudevillans, ascension, and breezango (prob forgetting others) they would fit in nicely
>>2174587
Is the pre show 2 hours? Good fucking grief
>>2175849
>AOP
They really shouldn't. They have potential but if their moved up too soon they will get eaten up by the shitty main roster crowds
>>2175855
Depends, if they go to RAM, their done. If they go to based smack, they can be the heel team to get AA over. Even though SD has more meme teams only 2 or 3 of them can ever go for the belt, it will become stale, quickly.
>>2174032
No Revival or Joe?
>>2176115
joe is done with nxt and the revival have no storylines going on
>>2174032
>only match worth watching is the 4 way
Pretty much.
>>2176175
not because of that shitter though
>>2176179
Sorry, you're right, wrong .gif.
>>2176175
Swagsuke vs Roode should be good.
Dillinger vs Young should be okay.
That tag match is going to be an abortion though. The Authors of Pain are just awful. Like The Ascension if The Ascension botched every fucking thing they do
>>2176215
>swagsuke
>dillinger vs young
>doesn't even recognize cien against roddy
the state of people who actually watch nxt
Where the fuck are my guys no way jose and the drifter? You know, actual guys who are solid but need more development.
They could easily replace the le 10 man v chain smoker and vanilla midget incarnate v almas matches with matches for them.
>>2175852
>Discussion is solely about the top male performing class
>"LOL where's Asuka? Bitch totally got BTFO"
Wow...
It must be tough to live like this, being so functionally retarded, anon.
I'm so sorry....
>>2177782
>2175842
have sex fatsuka
>>2177789
huh?
What's got you fuming, anon? You sound pretty angry.
>>2177796
Nah
>>2176243
>swagsuke
>>2177798
You've really got to be quite bothered to respond to such a simple post in the way you did. It was just a response joking about a misinformed anon. Anyone else would have just left it and moved on.
What about it made you so mad?
>>2174028
MemeXT
Is there another takeover? didn't even know
>>2177904
Yup. Watch it if you've got free time that isn't worth spending elsewhere. Otherwise, you won't be missing out on too much.
>>2174032
DIY will probably put on a good match. It's not something that would sell the show, but if you're already watching it's probably worth seeing.
>>2174061
It's almost as if Dallas was on Wrestlemania weekend...
What you should compare it to is Toronto, which is still disappointing.
>>2178174
DIY can't carry shitters like AoP.
>>2178183
You know what, that's true. I forgot how fucking green AoP were. Maybe it'll be fun to see who gets injured?
>>2178197
>the possibility that AoP end DIY outright
Disgusting.
