NXT isn't watered down. Just because people know about something doesn't make it not cool. Can't we all enjoy NXT, in this moment, in August of 2016? I think we all just enjoyed the show we just watched. And if anyone didn't enjoy it then I literally don't know why they watch wrestling.

I'm still really bummed that Gargano and Ciampa lost Give it some time. I think they are definitely heading for big things. I can't tell you how happy I am to see Tomaso Ciampa have success in NXT as he was one of my favorites in ROH. I hadn't seen Gargano before NXT but after that CWC match they had I'm sold on him as well.

I enjoyed the ppv tonight. I knew I wouldn't enjoy the second divas match so I went to taco bell during that. Excellent choice I might add.
Joe and Nakamura was excellent. Very hard hitting, and brought me back to the days where someone like Vader would knock the crap out of someone.
My only complaint was there was like 900 false finishes in the tag match, but I really enjoy revival and ciampa.

I remember the days when it was me and 3 other in people posting in the NXT thread. Now the takeover threads alone get 50+ pages and everyone's involved. And it's starting to feel like a watered down version of its former self. Almost Like WWECW. Now you're starting to sound like the guy who only thinks stuff is cool when other people don't know about it, and when other people don't like it, they don't like it anymore. I have a friend like that. The reason NXT wasn't that popular before is because there wasn't a way to watch it. When the WWE Network came about, people have someplace to watch, and it was pretty cool. If definitely is watered down, though. This show was not as good as last years, and the roster is diluted. A lot of guys and gals have gone up to the main roster. It's still good, just not great. NXT may have peaked a year ago. I've always been that way haha. If everyone is bandwagoning on something , then I just can't deal with it and go with whoever the underdog / Unliked one is. Unless it's someone I've always liked. I'll have their back from day 1

Ember Moon is my favorite flavor. Short and thick.

-- My assessment is, every match was a solid match and everybody benefited from their performances tonight, which doesn't always happen!
Mighty impressed!!

Tag Title wasmy match of the night. Not quite as good as the Revival/Alpha matches, but still awesome. Nobody does the false finishes, isolation tactics, or building to a hot tag like the Revival.
Sad Nakamura won, but I knew it was coming.

I finally got a chance to watch the show. Tag Team Championship match was MOTN and really glad Dash/Dawson went over. Really "meh" on Nakamura going over but that's because I'm "meh" on him. The match itself was good but just - uh - a "typical" (lately) Nakamura match with nothing standing out.

Sad Nakamura won, but I knew it was coming. I love the s*** out of The Revival man. I'm really glad that they are keeping their heat because it's just an added element to the matches. It'd be way different with the crowd being "cool" and cheering them on. Hopefully that doesn't change because it's good s***.

They seem so basic, but they have the tag team mechanics down to perfection. They remind me of the Steiners of old a bit, but more overall athletic. Including Summerslam, the NXT Tag Title match was my most anticipated match of the entire weekend. I get more hyped for them than anything in WWE. I ing love tag team wrestling, and they are the best right now. If Revival gets called up eventually I hope it's to Smackdown. I'd love to see them against New Day, but Revival/Alpha is a match I could watch anyday. I also think Revival and the Usos would work together well since they're teams in such good sync with one another

I was there and the atmosphere was fun, just not as fun as last year. Good show. Highlight was seeing Nakamura win the title.

As usual a fun breezy show with everything delivering. Tag Mach was good as usual with The Revival matches. But main event didn't pick up as much as I had hoped. Women's match was very good, perhaps better then Joe/nakamura but nothing as great as last years show.
