Yeah the general rule is that no matter how awful you think the TV buildup is for a Takeover the actual show makes up for it.  The perfect example to me is last year Takeover in Orlando.  I sold my ticket because I thought the show looked really weak compared to the other show running at same time.  Watched it when I came back from the trip and man that was such a good show

The Seth Rollins inclusion (much less top 3) is the glaring issue with the list.  He simply isn't important to the NXT story and is only that high because of his post-NXT run.

Big E should have been #5.

I feel like basically all the women—save Asuka and Bliss—are too low. The revolution rhetoric got tiresome ages ago, but it was pretty paradigm shifting work at the time. Charlotte to Sasha to Bayley is the best stuff the brand has done.

Nak, for all that I love him, feels too high. His best match was his first, and that was achieved by recycling spots from his last two Dome matches, and Zayn firing up. (I still love the match, but seriously, watch him versus Ibushi and Styles. Entire sequences are lifted.) After that he either regressed, lazed about, or a bit of both.

Well again - assuming they took the shoot results - it was a straight popularity contest.

Plus - it was just a "Here is a giant list of people - pick 10" you didn't even get to rank them

So my main takeaway while watching this is a lot of "oh yeah, I remember when he had a first name..."

Sami Zayn needs to be No.1, imo. The face of NXT in it's best run.

Wasn’t Rollins the first NXT champ?

The big snub to me on the NXT list is Neville. He was very important keeping the main event scene stable during the early network days before the wave of peak-day stars arrived and guys like Brodus Clay and Titus O'Niell were major players. I'd go Sami/Sasha as my 1/2, for what it's worth.
