[Serac]

Can't wait for Black vs Cole

 

[Kimi]

I can't wait for the entire card honestly. This is a really good looking Takeover, but Ohno vs Dream is probably top of the pile for me.

 

[Shoalzie]

The entertainment fan in me will like the Rumble matches but the wrestling fan in me is more excited about this show and the two "The New Beginning" shows this weekend.

 

[The Gongshow]

This card personally does nothing for me. Black/Cole and Gargano/Almas are the only two matches I'm interested in HOWEVER its a TakeOver so I know every match is gonna be amazing

Lack of SanitY makes me sad, guessing some of the members show up at the Rumble? *bon face*

 

[SeidoN]

looking forward to the card, except the Womens match. cant think of two women that bore me more

 

[SeidoN]

Lack of SanitY makes me sad, guessing some of the members show up at the Rumble? *bon face*

my face if Nikki isnt in the Womens rumble

 

[The Gongshow]

my face if Nikki isnt in the Womens rumble

Rumble could be a great way to debut SanitY, then have them be up for the main roster.

Give me Sanity vs Balor club at Mania please

 

[Kimi]

They owe me Sullivan vs Dain before they get called up.

 

[ColePens]

I'm so happy i'm not the only Cross mark here. I think she's so damn good.

 

[The Gongshow]

I'm so happy i'm not the only Cross mark here. I think she's so damn good.

Cross/Asuka LMS is one of my all time favourite womens matches. Cross is fantastic

 

[SeidoN]

LWS*

 

[Emperoreddy]

Cross/Asuka LMS is one of my all time favourite womens matches. Cross is fantastic

Won the slammy for best TV match in my heart.

First time in forever I have had zero interest in the women’s match. Both ladies do nothing for me.

All my favorites will hopefully be showing up in the Rumble the next night. If Cross and Iconic aren’t in there I will be pissed.

 

[GKJ]

After just over a year of build and waiting, we’re fivally here. There will be an NXT Takeover, in my city, tonight. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The crowd will be absolutely insane.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Probably looking forward to Black/Cole the most but I don’t think there is a bad match on the card

 

[M.C.G. 31]

It says a lot about NXT that there isn't a bad match on this card, yet on paper you can make a case that this the weakest Takeover card in quite a while, maybe ever.

 

[Disclose]

its all about who you like. i guess.
i think the card is beautiful and stacked. not an aop fan but they proved they can have fantastic matches too.

hoping for almas to retain. either way the match is gonna be sick.

 

[Shoalzie]

A Joe sighting...not the way we'd like to see him though.

 

[Serac]

Even on the panel, Joe is absolutely fantastic
Talks calmly, very smart, and analyzes the different aspects of the characters. Is able to build up both sides of the match and gives reasons why either side could win in a sensible manner

What can't you do Joe

 

[ColePens]

Yeah Joe is really awesome to listen to. He could easily have a career as a heel announcer when it's done.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

I dont know who the chick is, but she's killing it.

 

[ColePens]

Awesome opening. Love Heyman. Great stuff

 

[SeidoN]

AOP better be on the main roster in a few days time

 

[Shoalzie]

Interesting choice to open the show...

 

[ColePens]

Instead of stupid stuff like "The Bludgeon Brothers" - this is how you do a modern beast-like tag team.
