Rate NXT Takeover Dallas

[Big Bad Kahuna]

You know the deal

10/10 here

ROODE!!!

There's no reason not to have the other options.

Anyway, I'll say nine, primarily due to ending on the worst match and it kind of souring the show a bit. Still besides that a really damn awesome show.

[clcrash29]

Would be a 9.5 for me because of the lousy ending, but a stellar show no two ways about it.. Nakamura/zayn, womens title match and tag title match were all unforgettable and crowd was hot and great all night

[Germansuplex]

I'll give it a 9 because Austin Aries was a huge letdown and I didn't care for that ending. Other than that, perfect show.

[Germansuplex]

Also, that crowd was insane. I was in Brooklyn but I'll admit they outdid us.

[cuppacoffee - slight return]

If 10 = absolutely perfect, then this is a strong, strong 9. Most fun I've had watching a wresting show in a long time.

[the2ndevil]

Where's the rest of the poll?

It was a real good show, if not getting overhyped just a little.

[Deleted]

I voted 9. Corbin vs Aries wasn't as good as I thought it would be, and the blood thing ruined the main event a little. It was awesome though, just like every other Takeover so far.

[Push R Truth]

I don't even feel like I watched the same show as a lot of people. yeah, it was good, but I don't recall when the Earth stopped it's rotation and all the children of the world held hands and sang of it's praises.

I recall it clearly, it happened in the tag match opener.

[Bo Rida]

9.
Usually I'd say Corbin vs Aries and the multiple blood stoppages dragged things down and give it a 8 but seeing as there were two MotY contenders (and a good women's match) I'd stick with a 9.

I was taking this thread respectively to other WWE events. In that respect, one of the best cards they've put on in a long time, NXT or main roster.

Sure, I see stuff like WK9 as a 10 all-time for me. But for the 'E, you have to admit it was front to back one of the most enjoyable they've put on in a long time.

[thecrusherwi]

I would say a 10. I don't follow it week to week. So I had no idea what direction they're going with booking, and any guys I haven't seen before I only knew from video packages or their experience in other promotions. It really took my brain to a different spot. I didn't worry about who SHOULD win and I didn't know many guys finishers so I got caught up in all the false finishes. The presentation was all about these characters and matches and HOW these competitors were going to try and win. There were no cutaways to kayfabe ruining behind the scenes clips or commercial tapings or charity events. Everything about it was great. I was glued to my tv for every second last night and it reminded me that when I can get into that mindset as a fan, there is not one entertainment form I've ever encountered that I enjoy more than good pro wrestling.

I wish I could replicate that when watching Wrestlemania on Sunday. I will try, but I don't know if I can. I'm sure the action will be great, but then two minutes after they show Stephanie describe to Shane in graphic detail how she wants the Undertaker to hang, draw, and quarter him, they'll show her reading books to children at an elementary school and ruin the whole illusion.

I'd say 9. I didn't like Aeris/Corbin. I wasn't really impressed with Austin Aeris, but it was just one match so maybe he'll click better with a different opponent.

The Balor/Joe match felt rushed and that ending came out of nowhere, it was a good match otherwise, though.

And in hindsight, I would have swapped Bayley/Asuka and Aeris/Corbin's places on the card.

Those are my only complaints/nitpicks, everything else was outstanding.

[Milkman Norm]

10. Pure 10. One of the best WWE produced wrestling shows I've seen in over 25 years of being a fan.

Solid 8-8.5. Tag match/Women/Zayn matches were awesome but I don't think the rest was at the same level.

[Abdullah]

Nakamura and Zayn were on another level. The opener was fantastic. The women gave a very good performance. I'll give it an 8.

But I do think that we're beginning to see NXT suffer from its lack of storylines and character progression - the main event had nothing going for it and they lucked out with the blood oddly enough. Aries and Corbin would have probably had a better match if there was any real meat to their angle or any hook to Aries' character. This is a guy that shoved his crotch in a woman's face because she got his name wrong. I'm not going to magically get behind him when he's in a heat spot for five minutes just because.

[Deleted]

The great thing about Takeovers is people arguing about whether they should get an 8-10, where 8-9 means discussing low points.

That's how good they are. Even bad ones are way above average.

[froggyfrog]

9. The constant stops in the main event kinda ruined it for me
