can it get any hotter than Breeze and Dream?

 

[Kimi]

Time for an obscenely average Takeover card \o/.

 

[Serac]

Dream vs Breeze is a literal dream

Also excited to see what the street profits can do in a ladder match

 

[GKJ]

Think it's time for my best friend Io Shirai, who is the best best friend, to get the title off Shayna.

Street Profits should be stars after this one, like in a way where people didn't know they were as good as they are kind of way.

I agree on both of these. Io seems like the right person to send Shayna off. And the street profits are insanely talented and I look forward to seeing what they can do in this type of match where they can just go.

 

[FultonReed]

I'll be in there. so pumped!

 

[Paris in Flames]

Breeze vs Dream hasn't had nearly enough build for me.

It'll still be glorious though. I legit want Breeze to win and I, like everybody, am a huge Dream fan.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Someone’s going to die in that ladder match.

 

[xtra]

Gonna go camping but recording this one. I love tag team ladder matches.

 

[IceColdOx]

The tag ladder match intrigues me so much. I'm hoping Undisputed Era gets all the male titles at least once before they get demoted to the main roster.

Side note: Anyone going to Takeover Toronto II? I am and I can't wait.

as long as Angelo Dawkins doesn't fall through anyone off the top of a ladder, they should be alright


...I think.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yoooooo. I didnt know TakeOver was this weekend! Sick!

 

[ColePens]

As of right now...

1) NXT
2) AEW (will probably get to #1 after weekly tv starts)
3) HFWF (Seriously.. i'm not kidding)
4) NJPW
5) WWE

That's how I invest my time/money. I treat WWE as just a free add-on to my 9.99 NXT sub

 

[Cor]

I forgot about this.

Good card

Yoooooo. I didnt know TakeOver was this weekend! Sick!

Yeah, the date for this show has been a bit of a mess.

The propaganda PPV was meant to be earlier in the year, but it was moved back from its original date to next Friday (the 7th). WWE then canceled the main roster PPV that was going to the following weekend (the 16th), as they didn't want to be promoting both shows at once, and this Takeover was originally attached to that show.

So this Takeover was in flux. I don't think WWE had even said anything by the time they were doing the last set of NXT TV tapings, but they got a building and tickets have been on sales for only like three weeks lol.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I am seriously intrigued to see how Gargano and Cole can possibly top their last match.

 

[scrubadam]

Breeze vs Dream hasn't had nearly enough build for me.

It'll still be glorious though. I legit want Breeze to win and I, like everybody, am a huge Dream fan.

Think its because this was supposed to be Dijak vs Dream but he got injured.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Montez Ford is gonna do some crazy shit in that ladder match.

Lorcan might too.

Too bad it's on the same night as the cup finals, but I'll be watching Sunday morning.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I'd still rather watch ROH, which was raided for almost all of it's talent, than WWE right now. At least it's only an hour and they still have Marty Scurll.

They still have Marty Scurll...for now

i guess. but Take Over is the only fun part in WWE where you know its gonna be amazing, even if the card is not the best..

and yeah Marty is gone soon.

 

[ColePens]

Out of all the wrestling I watch, I think NXT is the absolute best. The announcers, video packages, wrestling, etc. I think people are f***ing nuts to not watch the weekly show. It's damn near perfect.

 

[Kakko]

Welp, bought a ticket. Just not gonna think about the fact that it's a 3+ hour trip each way
