NXT TakeOver: Portland Discussion

[Stanford]

I'm not opposed to a little goofiness

[WRau1]

That was a hell of a hot-tag.

[WRau1]

MOTN right there.

That was a hell of a hot-tag.

There's been a few bonkers hot tags in this match

How about Dunne's hot tag consisting entirely of submissions!

[Stanford]

Amazing match. Wow wow wow!

They look so pumped too.

Tag wrestling rocks

[WRau1]

LOVE the pace of this match. This show has been booked so amazingly well.

[WRau1]

What a great match, what a phenomenal PPV. NXT proves yet again, there isn't a promotion in the world that can touch them.

[Stanford]

And still undefeated, NXT Takeover

Main event irritated me to no end. They need to stop overbooking every Cole match. Was a convoluted mess at the end and the no selling took me out (like come on now, i know we live in post kayfabe but really).

The motivations make sense though, like Gargano was going to just forgive Ciampa so easily for everything he did. He got the man fired, cost him the title i'm pretty sure at least once and generally just tortured him, this is the least Ciampa deserved tbh.

Tag team match was amazing, easily MOTN.

They need to stop overbooking every Cole match.

Cole is a weird wrestler. He doesn't seem versatile enough to be the champion. I don't know what he's good at besides that kind of match. In a way, I think they're just maximizing his talents, which is good. But they run the risk of fans getting sick of the routine.

He's a good wrestler and if they let him do some standard heel work he'd be fine, i'm ok with some intereference and some dirty tactics but this was overblown. Also the finisher spam is ridiculous, a finisher should finish the match. They need to actually protect finishers somewhat.

[WRau1]

No issues with the the false for finishes in the mainevent.

Me neither. But I have no issues with anyone who does.

Same. I just don't mind them in main events.

One or two false finishes are great but for me when you spam them like they did for the main event it just makes it so anti climatic. There were legitimately a handful of spots that should’ve ended the match. Instead it ends with a simple barely touched him belt shot. Took away from a good match in my opinion.

[improper]

That tag match was absolutely incredible. They did a nice job of teasing a loss and turn between the two of them throughout the match, which in turn made the Undisputed Era winning seem more likely and kept the match tense. Just very smart booking. Kyle O'Reilly is so insanely good at wrestling. I think he is one of the absolute best in the world.
