True. I guess I mean people who developed and made their name in NXT. Although I suppose you could roll Billie Kay into that as well.

Gonna make some predictions before the show starts.
Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura: Joe wins, but some fuckery happens that can justify a rematch at the next Takeover which Nakamura can then win while Joe maybe goes onto the main roster.
Asuka vs Bayley: Obvious enough. Asuka wins and Bayley can have a nice send-off. I'd love a dominant match that can properly show Asuka as the monster she is, but given it's likely Bayley's last match, odds are it's gonna be an even match. Would be really cool if Asuka came out in face-paint like her pre-WWE days so she can become the DEMON QUEEN, WHERE ARE YOU DEMON QUEEN?!
The Revival vs Gargano and Ciampa: Revival win, and either lose to these two at a rematch or TM61 before they get brought up to the main roster.
Bobby Roode vs Andrade 'Cien' Almas: I still don't get Cien's gimmick, and probably never will. Roode has a debut match, and will likely have the crowd all over him because of that theme song. Not hard to see who's gonna win.
No Way Jose vs Austin Aries: Aries wins, but I expect Jose to give a good performance to give him a lot of credibility.
Billie Kay vs Ember Moon: Hopefully a good bout that shows Ember Moon as a strong contender to be the one who knocks Asuka off of the championship.
Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura: Joe wins, but some fuckery happens that can justify a rematch at the next Takeover which Nakamura can then win while Joe maybe goes onto the main roster.
Asuka vs Bayley: Obvious enough. Asuka wins and Bayley can have a nice send-off.

Though you can say that NXT made them bigger stars then what they were on the Indy scene compared to Aries, Roode and Samoa Joe.
Its really the question do credit the performance center for taking Indy talent who are not known names and making them known?

Was tempted to take up friends' offer to watch other sports entertainment brand UFC's event tonight but I figured legit fights > staged fights any day

These chants have been fucking hilarious so far, amazing atmosphere.
It's needlessly wordy and doesn't roll off the tongue well. Combine that with a Chippendales outfit and an inability to talk, and this is our end result.

I do appreciate that the best they could come up with for his shirt is a Full Sail chant based off of someone else's gimmick

45 minutes until parts of this thread deem HHH is trying to get himself over by doing an intro
46 minutes until parts of this thread want the crowd to sit on their hands and not chant anything ever during the show

Careful, we might get a Nakamura shirt that says 'He's 11'

Nah, maybe something after the match, but they'll keep the main interference free I think.
Not too pumped up for this one, really. I guess I haven't checked in with NXT much for a few months. It seems like they're in a recuperative period after all their most successful projects got called up in batches.
Interested to see Ember Moon's debut - if she's as good in the ring as the clips I've seen, her and Asuka should be a great feud.
Hopefully Shinsuke will win cos I want to get him up to the main roster and see what he can do there sooner than later. Also, I'm not that interested in Joe.
Beyond that I dunno, looks like a bunch of bland to me, except I guess Bobby Roode so hopefully he is about to start a successful run.

I think Nakamura is going over clean. He's the special attraction of NXT and they'll want to keep him that way for a few more months.
I don't know if that'll mean Joe goes up to the main roster immediately, but I hope he does.

You can't say that, especially before a show featuring Andrade 'Cien' Almas

I may just open a bottle of gentleman jack for this weekend.
She has a drawn on tongue over her shorts.

Billie Kay will be first person out like it should be. You should all respect her. She wrestled on Smackdown once.

Can't wait for her debut. I really hope she's as good as she was a year ago in the Indy's as she's probably my favourite US women's wrestler of all time in the ring.
what would you suggest?

Ember Moon vs. Bayley WrestleMania 34 main event. Book it!
I'd rather have a penis drawn on my forehead for special events and have commentary yell IT'S THE DICKHEAD HASNEY as I enter than wear suspenders.

Renee's hair and jacket are killer. It's lit.
