I forgot Takeover was happening until after it happened so can't speak on the quality - might look the match up after Samurai Jack or something - but if nothing else I'm very glad Dunne won. What I've seen of him previously Bate just does nothing for me.

It'd be six stars, but it wasnt Japanese enough.
But seriously... amazing match. The spot where Bate blocked the attempt at throwing him through the ropes and then hit the huge lariat was so nasty. Just phenomenal stuff.

Amazing. Pete Dunne may be my favorite wrestler in the company right now.

This is the match where I finally get the Tyler Bate hype.... but beyond that... Dunne is just pure money.

It says something for the quality of NXT when you have 2 **** + matches on the card which both deliver in completely different ways.
A fun hard hitting sprint that packed a lot of action into the time it was given.

10/10 that's a match of the year contender right there.

Pete Dunne is a stud.
The dude just has it.
Obviously, Tyler Bate is 19 and a tremendous talent, but Dunne is a potential megaheel superstar in the making.

Maybe it's because I was there live, but it was the MOTY. Seriously had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and my voice was gone the rest of the night.

Dunne gets the concept of what a heel should be and that is pretty rare now a days

I know Dunne as the bitter, asshole, scowling heel is the more notable, but Tyler seriously won me over tonight.
And on the night where he doesn't have anyone in the crowd to do the "Tyler's gonna win, Tyler's gonna win.... .... .... .... ....toniiiiiiiiiight" song, he loses.

Everytime I start to lose faith and start to wonder why I watch wrestling a night like tonight and a match like that reminds me why I goddamn love wrestling.

Just phenomenal stuff. Man, that Lariat should have made Kojima, Sasaki, AND JBL shit their pants at how great it was.
