This NXT Takeover was the best show I have ever saw. So I wanted to see what everyone else thought. What was your Favorite matches or segments did you like? and What parts did you hate
Mine: Like: LuchaDragons Vs. The Ascension (match of the night) Baron Corbin Debut (the next big thing, I believe, plus it was funny seeing CJ Parker get his butt kicked) All the Enzo Amore and Big Cas stuff, the match and the stuff that followed (my favorite tag team) Hideo Itami Debut (future NXT Champion)
Hated: Bayley losing the match against Charlotte. (Bayley deserves to be champion) Sami Zayn not winning the NXT title. (should have been champion a long time ago) The Bull Dempsey/Mojo Rawley match (I am a fan of both these guys, happy Bull won, but the match was to quick, and honestly that match didn't really needed to be on Takeover, it would have been awesome if Kevin Steen came it and took them both out, or have him help Bull, those guys together would make an awesome tag team)

NXT Takeover was fantastic as every NXT Live special has been. I feel like it was the weakest of the 3 but it was still fantastic. When I looked at what time it was after the Charlotte/Bayley match and saw that there was still a good half hour left til the end of the show I was ECSTATIC for the main event and it was quite possibly the best match I've seen in... I don't know how long. KENTA's new name is encouraging because of WWE's track record of botching name changes but not here, Hideo Itami is a really badass name and if KENTA picked it then that's even cooler.
The fact that Enzo had so much screen time made me squeal with delight, I'm such a huge Enzo fan. Him and Big Cass could be amazing on the main roster. Even if it's 'zo being Cass' mouthpiece, I'm perfectly alright with that.
NXT is consistently far and away better than the main roster product. Now I haven't decided whether the NXT writers and wrestlers should be incredibly proud of that or the main roster writers and wrestlers should be ashamed of themselves for consistently allowing themselves to be trumped by their developmental system. I'm leaning towards a combination of both.
If I had to list the best 3 events top to bottom of the WWE's year it would be NXT ArRival, NXT Takeover and NXT Takeover: Fatal 4 Way. No contest.

I thought the show was good. I'd say it was my least favourite of the three events because the show as a whole wasn't the best it could be, namely the non-title matches.
I liked that Kalisto and Cara won the tag titles and it was a pretty good match. Baron Corbin vs. CJ Parker was very meh and if I hadn't of read the results after the show I wouldn't have remembered it. Amore vs. Lefort was nothing special either. Hideo Itami/KENTA's debut was pretty cool too, I would've liked some translations for his promo but it's understandable that he didn't speak English. I'm very excited to see him wrestle next week, moreso than guys like Devitt and Steen because his style is so much more different from the US style, I really want to see him do well in WWE.
Bull Dempsey vs. Mojo was another forgettable match, way too many jobber matches on the show to be honest. Marcus Louis part wasn't great or noteworthy. Bayley vs. Charlotte was pretty good, but I don't think as good as Natalya vs. Charlotte, would've liked to have seen Bayley win but Charlotte is pretty good. The fatal four way was obviously the best part of the show and the best of the three NXT event main events thus far, it could possibly have been one of my favoruite WWE matches of the year too, storytelling was great, spots were awesome and it was all around very good.
Overall another good NXT event. I'm mainly looking forward to the next one for Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville...it's inevitable that the match will happen at this point. I do wonder if the next few NXT events will also be titled Takeover or if they'll be different.

A great event. I was legit standing in the final moments of the main event thinking "It's Zayns night! It's Zayns night!" Then perhaps one of the best heel turns in recent memory by Neville. An awesome show. I also like how they're keeping the Takeover name, like the In Your House events with a different sub-name each event. The next one, NXT Takeover: Neville vs Zayn.
The other matches were alright, some were far too short.

Only recently started watching NXT, but I think it's easily the best thing WWE has going, right now.
The opening match was awesome (glad to see Sin Cara getting some love, finally) -- a lot of the rest of the card was entertaining, but I just haven't been with it long enough to be attached to most of them.
Loved the womens match (straight TNA level quality) -- Bayley's legit, and Flair's daughter has great talent.
The main event was pretty great in some parts. I'm sure most wont agree, but I'll say this -- Tyson Kidd could be on Chris Jericho level entertaining for the next couple decades, if they just worked on his charisma and promo skills. I'd have rather he or Zayn won, but I dig Neville so far. Not feeling Breeze, but -- he's great in the ring.
Hideo's debut was legit. I loved the chair in the ring, just to sit down, aspect.
I'm looking forward to NXT moving forward.

I like KENTA better then his new name, I'm kind of mad that WWE build him up all the way to his NXT debut as KENTA and then changed it

It'd be cool if they went down this route, like they're "taking over" the WWE Network one night every few months. And the event was fantastic. So's KENTA's new name.

I thought it was extremely good, though it's the worst of the three events so far - still far more fun to watch than the main product though. The main event was ing amazing. I swear, I was jumping up and down and screaming during Zayn's final stretch of offense leading to the pin - and nearly burst into tears when the ref was pulled out. I was so ing sad/mad - but it was actually a brilliant thing to do. Truthfully, I never have as much fun watching wrestling anymore as I do watching these NXT events, they are incredible. Please for the love of Jebus, let HHH takeover (no pun intended) already.

Zayn was asking him why he did that, and instead of saying back he's the champion he superkicks him. Zayn was clearly devastated after the match and Neville was all smiles posing with the belt. With how hot the crowd was with wanting Sami to win, I think it might take a while for them to be cheering for Neville again.

They always come out swingin' on these NXT specials and knock it out of the park every time. I don't get that from the main roster PPVs. I was genuinely excited to watch the show last night and there wasn't a point where I wasn't entertained. So many great things on it and you can tell that all those guys are united and want to go out there and just kill it. I only get that from a certain few on the main roster as the rest of the time there's a feeling of them just letting the wheels spin.

Yeah, I think it'd be extremely hard to do anything except spin it into a heel turn. I really can't see the NXT crowd still embracing him as a face after this. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens next week.

It will definitely be interesting to see what happens next week. It'll be extremely difficult for him to be anything other than a heel after that particularly because he kept his title directly at the expense of costing the main good guy his title opportunity.

The show was fantastic as always. NXT is better than any other wrestling show right now. Better than Raw, Main Event, Impact and Smackdown. The opening tag team match was solid, the Baron Corbin squash made sense, the Hair vs. Hair was entertaining, the KENTA segment was cool, Bull/Mojo was lame, Bayley/Charlotte was really good and the main event was incredible. Goes to show that even when given a really good show, some people will still be negative for the sake of being negative.
