Solid 8-8.5. Tag match/Women/Zayn matches were awesome but I don't think the rest was at the same level. I didn't think the womens' title match got to that level either. I didn't really know what to expect, since Bayley is such a babyface and it was a face vs. face match. They worked hard and had some good exchanges but it didn't have the emotion of her other Takeover matches. I give it an 8 overall, a lot of fun to watch but to me the singles title matches didn't quite reach their potential and Aries/Corbin wasn't great.

Tag match maybe 7.5. Then maybe the others were like 7s at best. So 8 seems fair which obviously is still a great rating.

There should have been only one blood stoppage. The fact that there were several sorta hurt the pacing of the match. I'd say it was an 9 overall. Probably the best show top to bottom since MitB 2011.

If I had gotten into Bayley/Asuka a little more, my score would be a 9.

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. I do agree about the Aries/Corbin match, Aries is a guy that brings in interest because of his over the top character. He's good in the ring, don't get me wrong, but he's not Nakamura/Zayn/Bayley that can just get you interesting in him for his matches alone. As far as the event, I still give it a 9. I agree about the Nakamura/Zayn match, the women's match was great, and the amazing opener. Basically, it lived up to it's hype, which I felt would be incredibly difficult. Now onto the main event, I actually thought it was pretty good. In a way the blood helped, but the constant wiping down hurt the flow of the match. I actually thought it was good, Joe looked like he was trying to kill him, which I think the blood helped in a way that Finn made Joe even more angry, but the finish was stupid. However, the card was so good, that I can overlook it.

Weekly NXT and 2 hour PPVs every three months or so almost makes me want to keep my Network subscription (I was thinking of giving it up after WM).
Wasn't their best PPV I've seen, but that was still better than most main roster PPVs I've seen in the last few years.

9/10 would have been 10/10 but Joe lost. However, if it means he gets to the main roster then so be it.

I prefer a few other Takeover's but still pretty enjoyable.

I agree...while in ring NXT is really good and the Takeovers are great there's like...a void in the storytelling. I think it hurts a lot of the title reigns because they generally feel kind of aimless with the lack of stories/character.

Show had to be a 9+
Crowd did its best to try to bring it down to a 4 or a 5. And people crap on Full Sail? Say what you will, but a contingency present that clearly don't know how to act during a wrestling event in this context.

10.
one of the best wrestling shows I have ever watched.
I rewatched it today with a friend who wanted to see it, and it was a blast to watch again.

I went with a 7.
The tag opener was great and had the feel good moment of the night. 8 out of 10.
Aries vs Corbin was just flat and underwhelming in my opinion. 5 out of 10.
Zayn vs Nakamura. What can I say? 10 out of 10.
Bayley vs Asuka was pretty great but the crowd being out of it from the previous match spoilt it a little bit for me. Great shocking ending though. 7 out of 10.
Joe vs Finn. Meh. Didn't mind the blood stoppages as I get the reasoning but this was just a poor match for the two supposed best on that roster. 6 out of 10.
So yeah. Just my opinion. I enjoyed the hell out of it but it wasn't the be all and end all for me.
