GDT: NXT Takeover: San Antonio (January 28, 2017)

[Emperoreddy]

Man that didn't look like a fun bump to take.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Roode heeling it up like a champ.

 

[Habsfan18]

We need a Styles/Nakamura program on Smackdown leading to a match at Mania for the title. Can you imagine?

Heeling like a boss.

all too well, which is why it won't happen.

It would look like they were literally hitting one another with moves. I would fear for every kick and punch. They'd show the non-WWE style.

 

[GKJ]

Right now Bobby Roode is wondering how he's gone this long in his career without having matches this over

 

[Emperoreddy]

The reason NXT always delivers is because they allow the great in ring storytelling that they never do on the main roster.

You mean you're not a fan of 10 minute Steph promos to open Raw?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Glorious vibrations. What a heel

NXT is a wrestling show, WWE is "crap entertainment with some wrestling". That's the main difference.

 

[GKJ]

Have we had a pin attempt yet?

 

[Emperoreddy]

You mean you're not a fan of 10 minute Steph promos to open Raw?

I mean in match. Neither roster has in ring storytelling that is on par with NXT

 

[ColePens]

This match feels like a main event worthy of a way bigger PPV.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Graves continues to burn Watson tonight

 

[Better Call Sal]

Corey Graves is a national treasure.

It's a shame he'll be off NXT now.

 

[GKJ]

This is awesome right now

 

[Shoalzie]

The reason NXT always delivers is because they allow the great in ring storytelling that they never do on the main roster.

They make title matches important.

How many times have we seen Owens and Jericho and Reigns in ring? Owens-Reigns won't have the same appeal if they just knew how to build to a single match.

Styles-Cena is built the NXT way...no physicality or matches. Just promos. Let the hype build.

 

[ColePens]

The frustration aspect of the storytelling is EXCELLENT.

Does the one thing JR does so well - makes things feel way bigger than they are. Cole has never been able to do that.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Roode is amazing.

 

[GAMO1992]

that Spinebuster thoooo.... art

There hasn't been a single match all year on the main roster with storytelling like this.

 

[Jussi]

Roode may not have that flashy of a moveset but he makes his moves look good and unlike The Miz has true in-ring charisma.

Roode has a bit of a Flair thing going.

Miz wishes he was on Roode's level
