I have to give credit to Dana Brooke, who I thought played her role to perfection

I really hope that people are coming around on Jason Jordan, because he and Gable are money together. I know that Gable is good enough that he'll shine as a singles guy too, but Jordan's holding up his end of the deal. They just need some better theme music now. When Jordan got the hot tag, that was PERFECT babyface house on fire intensity, I don't think they'll keep these guys heel long, it's just too fun. In other tag team stuff, I think I see The Mechanics the way everyone else sees Blake and Murphy, I appreciate their work, there's just no personality, nothing there yet.

Yeah they built up that hot tag incredibly well. Gable impressed me with his selling ability which I had no idea he had. Jordan took in that tag like a man who had something to prove and was fire with some amazing old school simple babyface dropkicks.
These two are my favorite NXT tag team currently.

I thought the main event was alright. Very sloppy at places however and Sasha damn near broke her neck right at the start. A very shakey first 10 minutes. The highlight by far was Sasha's heel antics on Lizzy. That was amazing heel work! The flowers at the end just felt a little patronising for me. Like they only did it because they were women and almost like a backwards step.
Dana looked good in her match tonight. Asuka was only working at half speed at times but Dana did well and played her character fantastically. I loved the storyline with Emma knowing full well than Dana was way over her head and Dana being blissfully aware until it hit her literally! The "You f****d up!" chant after Dana slapped Asuka was awesome.
I was impressed with the Mechanics tonight too. They are a great tag team and I don't care that they have no charisma as that's kind of their gimmick. No nonsense arsekickers. The other tag team semi final was MOTN for me. Jordan and Gable looked fantastic and that's the best Corbin's looked ever. That final End of Days. Holy crap! The final fell a little flat for me as I was expecting someone to turn right up until the segment ended. Heck I thought if it wouldn't be Joe or Finn then perhaps even Cody!
Tyler vs Apollo was the great stuff we'd expect from them two. I think the match should have ended when Tyler caught the moonsault and hit the small package however. I think Tyler should have gotten the win.
Another good show. Not as good as Brooklyn mind and I wouldn't say any match is a must-see but all of them were good enough.

Finally able to watch.
Tag tourney stuff was solid. I was surprised at lack of shenanigans at the end, and both of my friends (straight friends btw) agreed that Finn Balor is indeed "sexy as f***" as he walked down to the ring the first time.
Huge moment seeing Gable bust out the Chaos Theory suplex. Tiny Gable hitting it on giant Corbin was a cool sight.
I think people need to give Dana Brooke more credit. Give her time to acclimate and I think being naturally athletic will play to her strengths in a Trish sort of way. I think she's improved a lot since debuting. Heel Emma is just gold. Their mirrored posing together during the entrance was fantastic. I blanked on Asuka making her debut and legit clapped and say "yayyyyyy" when their pre-match footage played. Highlight of the night for me to see Kana in NXT. Just amazing, and that wasn't her on full speed. My friends then agreed with each other that Asuka was also "sexy as f***". I couldn't argue.
Baron Corbin surprised me tonight, his stomach smiley face belly button thing scares the hell out of me, but that was the best I've seen him yet. Keep him around veterans some more and he's got potential. Also either gain muscle or trim down dude. Seriously. It's the stuff nightmares are made of.
Call Tyler Breeze up already! I mean I fear what the main roster will do to him and write him poorly, but I think he should be getting paid more. He deserves a better paycheck. I can't wait to see Apollo Crews go heel and tear people to shreds. He'd be fun to watch with someone like Lesnar I think. Two athletic big guys.
Main event was great. Growing tired of Izzy like some others on here, but did feel bad that Sasha made her cry, then laughed as Sasha heeled it up getting EVERYONE pissed at her. She got a "Sasha's ratchet" chant again!! I wonder if Stephanie was sitting in the crowd wondering "I wish the ladies would get something like this on the main roster...oh silly Daddy...." AWESOME to see Del Rey, I may have marked to the amusement of others that had zero idea who she was.
Another good show. Not the energy of TO:Brooklyn, but thousands versus Full Sail...not gonna be the same. The crowd chants were pretty awesome tonight as well. Chanting "save the Gable" and Gable's name to Kurt Angle's music were just brilliant.

Everyone come out here and clap them and pat ourselves on the back!"?

Alot of what HHH and Steph do with NXT feel like "let's pat our selves on the back" like with what happened with both of them during Takeover bRooklyn.

We've definitely reached the point, as Western Society, where if you don't like somebody, you absolutely MUST impugn and disparage their motives for anything they do.
I dislike the Steph-beast as much as anybody here, but I'm not going to rush with self-righteous indignance to dismissively scoff at that display as self-aggrandizing grandstanding.
When Stephanie wants to grandstand, that's not how she does it.

Baron Corbin DID trim down and he did gain some muscle. That's why his belly looks the way it does, because he lost a ton of weight. It's the same reason Crowe wears a singlet, when you lose a bunch of weight you tend to keep a lot of loose skin around the midsection.

Crowe looks buff and toned up and looks like he could rock trunks if he wanted to.

I am baffled by the Izzy hate, lol.
She is basically Elizabeth to Bayley's Savage. She is a quasi-manager at this point.
I'm just glad a kid is getting a dream experience I assume most of us wished we'd had growing up without being a Make A Wish kid. You get jaded seeing kids on WWE now as my natural reaction is they'll be dead soon.
Long Live and Long Manage Izzy!!

Way late in posting, but first time I've had a chance to watch...
Corbin, Gable, and Jordan are all 3 money. You could tell that Rhyno was calling most of that match, but even so... everybody put their work in, and that match was great.
I think, in Asuka, they have what they were aiming for in Awesome Kong, to an extent. A badass female wrestler who can tie you in knots and kick your teeth in could get over easy as pie in a post-Ronda Rousey world. Heel/Face, whatever... protect her, and let her keep doing what she does, I'm sure her experience could only help Sasha/Bayley/Paige/etc.
