JonnyLaw Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 A part of me will laugh if they change the match due to Sami's being called up already.
SirSmUgly Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I want twenty minutes of Gotch vs. Gable in a singles match. I don't know if Nia's stuff actually hurts, but it doesn't look like it does except for the Samoan drop. Does Aries have T-Rex arms? First time I noticed that if so. More Ciampa striking people, please! Every show should just have a five minute segment where Emma beats up some jobber. Jason Jordan suplexing dudes > Brock Lesnar suplexing dudes. I appreciate that Aiden English was willing to destroy his spinal cord for my enjoyment tonight.
Cristobal Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 That Aries promo really hyped the match worth Corbin well...and it's the fifth best match on the card!
RandomAct Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I would have loved that Sami-Shinsuke announcement so much, if I didn't fucking know about it a month ago. 2
JCM Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 If you told me I could only watch the matches of one WWE act over the next year American Alpha would be one of my main considerations. Gable is so good in opening exchanges, he plays a great FIP, and their hot tag stuff is the best thing in WWE. Asuka held nothing back on Eva, and I enjoyed that match as well. It's nice to see A Double in NXT because I think they needed another promo guy. Emma would've been right at home working squash matches in mid 80's Crockett. I can't remember the last time there was a show where I was looking forward to every match like Takeover Dallas. Joe and Balor have the toughest job of the night main eventing that stacked show.
JonnyLaw Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 So do Bayley and Asuka get entered into the next short-lived tag team tourney?
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Emma squash match is best squash match.
Go2Sleep Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Asuka is officially the best wrestler on the roster because she brought emotion out of Eva in the ring for the first time ever. Eva looked like a kid riding their first big roller coaster during that strike flurry. A combination of fear, shock, and "when the fuck is this gonna be over" all sold through her face... There may be hope for her yet. I'm trying to temper my expectations for Takeover Dallas, because it's unfair and unrealistic to go into a show expecting a show of the decade... But just looking at that card, how can you not?
MGFanJay Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Fun show, but nothing too amazing. Great place-setter for Takeover though, even if the awful fake snow effect for Nakamura's video lead-in was a bit much. Can't go wrong with Sami-Nakamura though. Women's tag was fun, and far better than either male tag match. Emma-Deonna never really got going, but put Emma over strong. Dana's look remains absolutely bizarre and does nothing for me, and Deonna Purrazzo should probably not have her initials on her gear.http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2016/03/nxt-3-16-16.htmlScreens -http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/uey6cakdp8zk7o4enpma0re3d2a05a5z
DreamBroken Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Mainly tuned in to catch Aries and Asuka. Aries' promo had an oldschool feel to it, good stuff. Very excited for him and hope he excels in NXT/WWE. He had a ton of great stuff the past few years especially. Women's tag was disappointingly short, but Asuka shined as usual and I hope she wins the title. Still feel like Nia Jax hasn't recovered from London. Emma is a fantastic all around character, great squash for her. I like Deonna too, pretty good and has potential. Likewise, I always thought Jesse Sorensen had star potential in TNA so I hope he gets a bigger shot here, seems to have the look WWE would like and is solid in the ring.
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 How awesome were American Alpha? They get better and better! NXT Dallas will be so much fun.
RIPPA Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 God the production of the Nakamura video was terrible You would have thought they might have turned down the crowd a little so you could hear what he was saying but... nope 2
Red is Dead Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 That high angle german. How in the hell did Aiden English save himself from a Tyson Kidd? 1
Jamal Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I enjoyed the women's tag. Surprised that they didn't tease Asuka/Eva interaction a little longer. Emma and Dana continue to rule it as Mean Girls. When some jobber finally beats Emma, the crowd is going to go crazy.
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Emma and Dana continue to rule it as Mean Girls. When some jobber finally beats Emma, the crowd is going to go crazy. I don't know, Emma has suddenly become a face down at Full Sail. They might have to figure out something different.
nofuture Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Easily one of the worst/laziest promo video they ever done. WWE's usually pretty good at these things.
Greggulator Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 American Alpha pretty much wrestle the same mat-- oh my god that German Suplex and belly-to-belly on the floor, what was I saying?
Brysynner Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Corey Graves announcing for the Jax/Eva vs. Asuka/Bayley match was perfect. I love the realization that Eva Marie was going to be in the ring with Asuka and there was zero percent chance it was going to end well for Miss All Red Everything. 3
RIPPA Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Phillips/Graves is easily the best complete set of announcers NXT ever had 1
Chaos Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Phillips/Graves is easily the best complete set of announcers NXT ever had I thought people were higher on Rich Brennan in the Phillips role.
