I hate going with 10 because it wasn't a perfect show and I think night one was equal if not slightly better, but that main and Lee winning. f*** it 10!
Street Fight: Awesome opener with both women bring it. That finish was sick.
Reed vs. Nese: Random ass match, but a fun one. I like Reed getting that push.
Gargano vs. Swerve: Really fun wrestling match and they did even hit 3rd gear. Gimme more!
6 Man Tag: Breezango is just not doing it any more. Drake still has good fire though. El Legado del Fantasma f***ing rule though.
Mercedes vs. Santana: Ok, I guess. Martinez new entrance is awesome. This shouldve been more like Kross' debut.
Cole vs. Lee: Pretty much a Takeover main event. Just missing fans. Fantastic match. So happy for Lee!
Love the movie villain ending with Kross looking down at Lee celebrating.
Other thing. Great hype video for Io/Tegan, hilarious backstage segment with Stone and Shotzi and Priest being a badass.

9
It should be a 10 but it wasn't perfect and I actually want when I give a 10 for it to mean this show was all time great
Anyway, a 9 is nothing to sneeze at. This was a really fun show. Opener was crazy, the random Reed/Nese fight was a good showcase for THIC BOY. Gargano/Swerve was good as you expected and they didn't even go into 3rd gear. 6 man tag shows how much star power Escobar could potentially have. Mercedes is added to a pretty stacked womens division and is running in
Cole vs Lee good as advertised. Right man went over clean as a sheet. Outside stuff was fun too like Robert "My Leg" Stone getting ran over, good Priest promo and Io/Tegan hype package

Making Lee champ was right move. This much like last week was weird for me. In terms of in ring action? NXT delivers at their big shows, but I still feel that NXT is a bit stagnated creatively. I think some things that could have had great story was rushed to compete with Fyter Fest, but even without that I feel NXT (and really WWE as a whole) is in a transition period for where they want to go creatively

10 OUTTA 10 FOR MY WATER WAIFU SCALE!
9
I ever so SLIGHTLY give the edge to night 1 being the better of the two nights on a purely personal view but nothing to sneeze at as 9 is legit as close to the highest of compliments without being dishhonest and just throwing 10s out because an honest 10 should only be reserved for something so special that it could only feel like a once in a generation happening.

Went with a 9. Really the only thing to complain about was Mercedes’ unimpressive squash.
And Cole/Lee not having the audience it deserved. That was a legit huge feeling match that deserved the wildest of arena Takeover noise and environment.

I'm changing my rating to 9.

I'm changing my rating to 9. If this show was the exact same show and had a crowd, we’d have a 10. They’d have been fxxxing rabid for the main event. The pop for Keith Lee winning would have brought tears to some eyes.

I'm changing my rating to 9. Yea, don't get me wrong i'm not trying to say how people should grade Like for me personally, I can't vote a 10 because I liked the show. If that's the case it would be a 10 every week because I was entertained but for me a 10 is reserved for an all time great show that you can't miss Now in saying that a 9 is a can't miss show too. It is a very high compliment basically saying this show did everything right except being perfect and being perfect is f***ing hard In short, for those who didn't watch, go watch it.

I just read you post and it hit me and made/makes so much sense that it felt right to change my rating.

9/10. Yim and LeRae had a thrilling Street Fight, Robert Stone was hilarious, and I liked seeing Lee win the NXT World Title. Just wish that moment could have had a proper crowd.
The villain cliffhanger with Kross and Scarlett was great too.

Yeah very good point about wanting to give it a 10 when it's truly a all time show. I'm changing my rating to 9. If this show was the exact same show and had a crowd, we’d have a 10. They’d have been fxxxing rabid for the main event. The pop for Keith Lee winning would have brought tears to some eyes. Yup, another moment lost to this pandemic. So happy Lee won, but it doesn't feel as special because there's no energy. Overall I'll go with 9. I love me some Mercedes Martinez, and have been a fan for damn near a decade, but that was not a good re-debut. I still say she should've went to AEW and been their ace. But Io Shirai in a water tank just f***ing rules.
