💛 NXT 8/23 Thread: Takeover Brooklyn Post-Show

[Big DSR Energy]

Dunne's voice sounded like what I thought Wolfgang's would have, and vice versa.

I don't know who Sarah Logan is, but I'm rooting for her to lose.

She wrestled on the indies under the name Crazy Mary Dobson

Nice little match there. I can see Peyton getting called up to the main roster soon

[Big DSR Energy]

Peyton is awesome.

[lionheart21]

Wondering how much time the tag match gets

GET THE CAAAAAAAR!

Having not followed this show in the recent past, seeing Roderick Strong in a full suit blow Bobby Roode a kiss and say "see ya soon" was hilarious to me.

"The audacity to blow me.... a kiss."

It's weird to see just the name "WOLFGANG" on the Titantron. Feels like it should be the name of a faction with a wolf motif (not Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, though).

Dunne may be only 23, but Kenny's been 20 since 2006. Now that's impressive.

Sounds like something Baron Corbin fans call themselves.

Come on! Don't do a commercial break now!

I was not expecting a commercial break during matches on the Network. WTF?!

Regal's gotta be proud of seeing guys like Dunne carrying on his style of wrestilng

[lionheart21]

My God, I have gotta see what Tyler Bate's workouts look like, he is freakishly strong

I somehow read Regal as Reigns for a second.

Here are the facts for NXT:
- No Way Jose VS Lars Sullivan doesn’t count since the bell never rang, therefore it was the 1st NXT since January 4 to not have a singles match
Sarah Logan VS Peyton Royce was Royce’s 1st NXT match & opener since June 21, Logan’s 1st match since June 7 & 1st opener since January 11, the 1st women’s match to open NXT since Ember Moon VS Lei’D Tapa on July 26, & their 2nd re-match
- Tyler Bate & Trent Seven VS Pete Dunne & Wolfgang was Bate & Dunne’s 1st match since NXT Takeover: Chicago on May 20, Bate’s 1st NXT TV match since April 26, which was his last main event, Dunne’s 1st NXT TV match since May 31 & 1st ever NXT main event, Seven’s 1st match since the UK Championship Special on May 19 & 1st NXT TV match & main event since February 25, Wolfgang’s 1st match since the UK Championship Tournament on January 15 & 1st ever NXT match & main event, & the 1st time that both teams have teamed up
- This was the 1st NXT since July 5 to have only 2 matches

NXT always does commercials during their main events.

-I like Mauro for the most part but hearing him say "lit" and "fresh" at the beginning in virtual back to back sentences was facepalm.

-I'm really, really sad Crazy Mary lost her name completely. She seems so generic now.

-Roderick Strong is just horrible at everything but wrestling. His delivery to Roode made me bust out laughing. If he were any more wooden he'd be a log cabin.
Roode on the other hand, two strong back to back promos. GET THE CAR!!!! Can we splice Roode's mic work and charisma and Roderick's wrestling skill into one person?

-LOVED the pop Dunne got. Just awesome. One of my favorite archetypes in wrestling is the badass heel that's respected. Great match, didn't see the finish going that way.
