How can Summerslam remotely top Takeover? That Bayley vs Sasha match could of been the main event of Summerslam and I would have been 120% satisfied. The way NXT is presented as a whole no matter the recent call ups to the main roster makes it elite. It really has to be a head scratcher that this formula isn't emulated on the main show. If I'm on the main roster. How do you feel if Summerslam is a flop when Takeover delivered 100%. Something similar happened in December. TakeOver: R-Evolution was excellent and, three days later, TLCS was horrid. Does that mean they'll likely have another Takeover before this years TLC? ...In Boston.....? *dies*

I was thinking it was just me and a select few others who'd continue to feel this way about Bayley/Sasha Yet it almost seems unanimous. It blew everyone away. I just cant put into words how much Bayley/Sasha blew me away,ive never had a match consume me like their match did,they deserve all the praise they have got or will get

Never cared for The Vaudevillians as heels, but as baby faces they are way more entertaining to me. Pretty good show. The crowd was fantastic.

They're doing one in October, which will be the fourth of the year, which was how many we got last year, but I think we get one near the end of the year.

These are the future dates for Full Sail at the moment. * Thursday, September 10th - NXT TV tapings * Wednesday, October 7th - NXT live special * Thursday, October 8th - NXT TV tapings * Thursday, October 22nd - NXT TV tapings * Thursday, November 19th - NXT TV tapings So, if there's going to be a TakeOver special in December, it wouldn't be the day before TLC since the NXT UK tour starts on December 10th and runs though the 16th, when TLC is on the 13th. I doubt they would do a live special the day before the first UK show, so the options are A) NXT TakeOver from Full Sail on December 2nd B) NXT TakeOver in the UK at some point from December 10th-16th C) No NXT TakeOver in December

Finally catching this. Just getting to the main event. Can Vince and Dunn quit producing the main shows yet?

Anyone know what was going on in the crowd during Balor/Owens? A few things, 1) A few guys threw streamers towards the ring and they got kicked out. Crowd was chanting LET THEM STAY as they were escorted out. 2) They were let right back in which garnered a really big pop and a WELCOME BACK chant. 3) For the first 5-6 minutes of the match, the screen above the ring wasnt on, which made it hard for the upper audience to see what was happening. They were chanting PUT THE SCREEN ON. When they ultimately did, it drew a big pop. Also FULL SAIL SUCKS was chanted at the beginning and end of the show. That was hilarious.

Texted a few old friends I haven't seen or spoken to in years and told them if they only watch one wrestling match this year it should be Sasha vs. Bayley.
The response I got from one of them was this:
"I just watched it last night and I couldn't agree more. I'm not ashamed to say I teared up at the end"

I wonder if WWE is filling a contract at this point. The Full Sail crowd is like the TNA crowd before the Bischoff era. Insanely smarky and too self aware. They make chants about themselves rather than the show.

Yeah, I heard the FULL SAIL SUCKS chants, that was brilliant.

I haven't been fully into NXT even though I've read many times on here how amazing it is. I watched a couple of Takeover events before, Kevin Owens debut was the one that sticks out, but as I have this weekend off I thought I should check this one out. I am so glad I did...
The Tag Title match and Apollo Crews debut very much impressed me, and Joe/Corbin was also a solid bout. The ladder match was also very good, Balor is definitely one for the future.
But the women's title match.... My god. I knew of Sasha Banks from seeing her on Raw, and I knew who Bayley was but I had never seen her perform. Everything about this match was just perfect. The video package, the entrances (Sasha absolutely killed it on her entrance), and the match quality were all up there and worthy of being on any WWE show. The match itself was just fantastic, I haven't been the emotionally involved in a wrestling match for a very very long time, and even though I had never seen Bayley before, I felt myself tearing up at the end! The story it told and the moves completed were better than anything I have seen in WWE this year.
I am very much looking forward to Nikki Bella breaking this damn record run, and then the revolution can really begin, and we can see matches like this on a more regular basis.
I also saw that NXT will be at the SSE Arena in December here in the UK which is next door to where I work. I think this has made up my mind that I need to go to that one.

I've read a few of you guys say it made you cry.. are you guys joking? Dead serious. Only other wrestler to make me cry of joy is Daniel Bryan. Bayley is super special and is a huge reason why I still love wrestling.

Apollo Crews is legitimately a love child of Ahmed Johnson and Ezekiel Jackson, with the spring ability of Adrian Neville.
"How you gonna finish your match Crews?"
"Oh you know, I'm a big guy. Just a monster gorilla press slam. Followed by a standing moonsault. No biggie."
Like...seriously.

If you can't get emotinally invested in wrestling, then I don't see the point in watching it. I was so happy to see Bayley get her moment last night, because she's worked for it.

So the Vaudevillains are tag champs, so now imagine if that was Enzo and Cass - like it should've been from the beginning - winning the belts in Brooklyn. Vaudevillains are terrible - can't fathom why they booked those dolts, over Enzo and Cass, to chase BAM in the first place... and ultimately to win the titles in New York. Not sure how you could watch Bayley/Sasha last night and NOT consider it one of the best matches ever.Becky got the cue from someone and told the other girls "all four sides" for the Four Horsewomen pose. Simply because it wasn't. Put aside all the saccharine-soaked, guff about Bayley's "fairytale ending", and the reverse hurricanrana and the Banks over the top rope spots - and it was no more than your bog-standard women's match, contested between two average talents... with a healthy dose of botch, for added measure.

Lol c'mon man... I'm not a big follower of NXT or the stories but it was a really great match with a great ending. I respect you got your own opinion man but you gotta admit you take digs at some folks on here to provoke a reaction.

Your pathetic acts of trying to get attention around here have grown tiresome. If you really want attention, you should go stand in the middle of a busy highway and play Frogger with moving vehicles.

His gimmick is always to come in here and be "controversial" like his idol, CM Punk. When he sees that the NXT girls get high praise, his goal in life is to come on here and crap on all of it.

I believe what you're saying, Kev. It's 100% alright to have your own opinion and a different one or unpopular one at that. But he's just trying to poke at people. Especially about the NXT girls
