[01010010 01101001 01100011]

Liking the card. Still think the Women's title should go last and end with the 4 Horsewomen in the NXT ring together one last time. 8Man might as well be the "STFU NYC" special. Eva vs. Carmella will be brutal, just will it be the match or the crowd?

[MGH]

Dang fine card to me.

Outside of the women's title match and ladder match, most of these matches are probably not going to go long. And Bull Dempsey/Elias Samson and possibly Crews/Dillinger will be squashes.

I really like the early card matches. Enzo and Cass needed to be on there. The four way will be fine with Becky and Charlotte. Dillinger's been coming up, so debuting Apollo against him should be a good match.

Eva v Carmella could be a shit show though.

7:30 has been listed on the ticket since they went o nsale

I doubt Crews/Dillinger will be a squash. They're starting to build Dillinger up.

They've done it for a couple now. I've been trying to find out if you can purchase them anywhere.

Idk. Crews is likely going to be a big deal fairly quick, and as awesome as the Perfect 10 is, it feels like a comedy gimmick. Like he might get some offense in, but I don't see the match going over 5 minutes. I think Dillinger will still be mostly used as a jobber, he just has a gimmick now (like CJ Parker before him) instead of just being a generic nobody.

I just saw the Eva Marie vs. Carmella footage, with no commentary, from the 8/22 show from the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. The match is pretty much as it's billed. It's far from the best match I've ever seen in my life, but I'd give it *****, and that only makes four matches in the U.S. in the last nine years I've give that to, and what's scary, it's the third with Eva.

Of course the crowd made a difference. There were chants of "this is awesome" in the first 2:00 before much of anything had happened. But the match was just ridiculously physical. It's not like this would have been a **** match somewhere else but the crowd made it seem better than it was. The crowd always ends up making some of the difference in a great match. It was kind of amazing to see a match where one of the girls did nothing but chops and a few carefully placed suplexes, and almost nothing offensive on the mat, as her entire offense in a match this good, which speaks volumes about getting a few trademark spots over huge and building matches around them.

- Dave Meltzer in a week probably

Cannot see Corbin/Joe or Breeze/Liger going over 10 minutes.
Carmella/Eva Marie, Bull/Elias and Crews/Tye I cannot see being anything other than squashes.
Basically leaving 90 minutes or so for 5 matches.

Jesus, 10 matches!? "NXT Takeover: As in the entire roster is on this one show"

...It actually is kinda scary how well you emulate his reporting style, lol.

Oh my sweet lord Eva vs Carmella is going to be awful.

Glad Enzo and Cass got a match, they were a pretty glaring omission. Overall this looks like a pretty solid card.

HHH revealed the 10 match card on Twitter just now.

And you didn't think to post it whilst creating this thread or even link to it?

I couldn't emulate Big Daddy Meltz that well even if I tried.

Eva/Carmella have been doing the NXT house show circuit so it shouldn't be too bad. Fan reports have said they've done ok so far, and they're gonna have a molten hot crowd hating on Eva to play off.
