I was there a section or two away from green man. Douche needs to get over himself Gonna require green man stories from you. Just an obnoxious guy chanting green man rocks By himself out of his seat blocking people in front of him who are trying to watch the show

Safe to say with Asuka, Nakamura winning, and Ibushi and Tozawa in the CWC, Japan is taking the F*** over... And Funaki is quietly leading the invasion.

I didn't notice it when it first happened, but I saw on the replay that Mick Foley raised his right arm in jubilation as Shinsuke scored the pinfall. Brought back memories of Foley in the crowd at MSG watching Snuka vs Muraco, throwing up the ASL sign for "I love you" during the Superfly splash off of the cage. Vintage Foley! So vintage that it's from before his career even began!

There are a couple things I was left wondering - Why didn't Itami have a match on the show? And where was Tye Dillenger? Is he hurt or something? Was Izzy and her dad only ringside for Bailey's match? Dillinger worked a match against Wesley Blake before Takeover went to air, one that will probably air on NXT TV this coming week.

Joe lost!?!?!? Hopefully, this means he's coming to Raw to murk Finn Balor. As fun as that would be, no, we've seen enough Balor/Joe matches for two lifetimes. That said, it's probably him vs. Balor, Reigns or Cena if he is getting called up.

Ok, just got back from the show (it really shouldn't take this long for an R train to show up). Here's some notes, the dark matches I'll put in spoilers - {Spoiler}We opened with Tye Dillinger beating Wesley Blake. Tye was very over with the Brooklyn crowd. Blake had like the longest entrance ever for a guy nobody cared about.
Then we had the Authors of Pain beating TM61. The Brooklyn crowd was really into the Authors. During the video package asking the wrestlers where they were during the first NXT Brooklyn, when they got to Bobby Roode I half expected him to just start laughing uncontrollably. Brooklyn was not into No Way Jose. Brooklyn was also not into "Cien" Almas at first either, but he won them over. Bobby Roode's theme song was still the most over thing of the show. The people in my section kept begging for Ciampa to turn on Gargano after their match. I was honestly surprised to see Bayley lose. I know conventional wisdom has her on her way up to the main roster, but they just did the brand separation and are still in the middle of establishing a whole bunch of girls through that. I'd rather Bayley have won the title back here, set up a third match between the two at the next Takeover, build up some more challengers for the NXT Womans Title in the mean time (the division is kinda thin right now, especially on the face side), then bring Bayley up around Survivor Series when things on the main roster have settled a little. Oh well.

Correction from my facts earlier. Balor did not compete on the 1st 3 Takeovers. But he competed on every one since Takeover: R Evolution on December 11, 2014, until tonight.

Just got home from the show. Some thoughts...
Crowd loves Tye. Why shouldn't they?
No Way Jose's theme is even catchier in person.
Bobby Roode is f***ing money. That entrance. That song. Main roster now, please!
Last three matches were great live. Once the tag match got rolling, they had the crowd in the palms of their hands. Crowd REALLY wanted a change. I seriously think I would have heard the loudest pop I've ever heard had Gargano and Ciampa won. But I guess I'll never know...
Main event was fun. That Nakamura entrance...words can't describe how great it is live. I had to re-watch it when I got in the car (thanks WWE Network). Chillingly awesome.
I'm hoping that we see Joe and Bayley on the main rosters now. They deserve it.
Great show. Great time. Still hate traveling to Brooklyn, but it ended up being worth it.

Just got back home. I was dancing like crazy when No Way Jose came out. Tye Dillinger is too f****ing over. Nakamura live is something insane. The only thing that sucked was TM61 and Authors of Pain they both suck but I like Authors of Pain a little more. Bobby Roode's entrance is amazing, this dude is a freaking SUPERSTAR. I was sucked into that tag title match. I wanted Gargano and Ciampa to win so badly as the match got going. Auska/Bayley was fun happy Auska won, Bayley can move on to better things.

Will edit this as I watch it.
I think this is Aries' best match since joining NXT. Great to see No Way Jose keeping up with him a bit. Hideo looking like a boss in that suit.
HOLY SHIT! GTS!!!
Glad to see Ember Moon finally debut. Loved watching her tear it up in ACW.

Wow what a show. Rewatched it and oh man do I feel bad for Joe there. Legit looked like he messed his jaw up bad on that first knee. Hope it's nothing serious as this has been some of his best work ever.

I'm watching the show right now and I just made it to Roode's entrance.
Holy crap, I knew this entrance was going to be awesome, but man there are no words to describe how great that was.
