    Holy shit that was a nice catch by Miz. Dom was gonna hit the table face-first.

    lmfao

    That whole thing ruled. Also Logan Paul put in the second great celebrity wrestling performance in a row, which is amazing.

    I hate to say it, but Logan Paul is very good in this match.

    He’s strong as hell and his suplexes looked crisp.

    Granted I think youtuber->wrestling heel is a pretty reasonable transition

    I gotta admit it, I loathe Logan Paul as an actual human being with every fiber of my being but god damn if he doesn't understand exactly how professional wrestling works

    Let's be fair to Logan Paul here and recognize that the dude has actual combat sports training and didn't look completely out of place against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. He's a good athlete and clearly put in the work to look good in a wrestling ring, which is something I do respect. The best you can ask for with a celebrity is that they respect the business enough to put in the effort, and Logan Paul did that.

    I don't....believe so? He's fresh out of college and is another former Minnesota wrestler (same program that produced Brock and Shelton Benjamin) so it's possible but I don't think I've ever heard anything about him being shitty.

    That's....not great by any stretch, especially getting out of a case by a technicality.

    Well Bianca Belair is getting the fancy entrance, so going by normal Wrestlemania rules, she's losing.

    Becky's going to crash unless Wrestlemania is running on a PC with 16GB of RAM or higher

    What is Becky's outfit inspired by? Is there a thing I'm missing or is it just a badass look?

    That was the outcome Bianca deserved after how she got played so hard on Becky's return

  • AzraithAzraith DON'T Registered User regular
    That was a great finishing sequence

    Why does Vince have a Dinosaur skull on the wall of his conference room or office or whatever?

    Odd bit of decor

    Ziggler sold that spear like his soul was being ejected. :D

    EDIT: That match was somewhat tainted by Chekhov's Turnbuckle.

    Solid show overall. Maybe not quite up to the indie-tastic heights of past TakeOvers but a lot of potential in the young talent, which is the point of 2.0.

    In general NXT 2.0 has been plagued by WWE booking where all psychology is thrown out of the window in favor of whatever the fuck happens in the last minute of the match. Maybe it's a lifebar emptying foreign object, maybe it's somebody's music hitting or the person on commentary distracting somebody for a rollup. Disregard everything that happens the first 90% of the match. It's ironic because it basically makes matches that do have psychology and storytelling basically a spotfest.

    I don't know, half the time the "psychology" in a latter era NXT match was, "a wrestler does the same thing they did in the last match only this their rival counters" and forty minutes later the match ends

    Because he can afford one.
