If Dixie had any type of onscreen presence she would have been a good manager for him Yup. The HEAT she'd pull in NXT if she had an ounce of say, Bisch's self awareness and any idea on how to play it up. Yea, Dixie as his rich aunt who spoils him and just throws her weight around would be great.
As you said if she had Eric self awareness and knew how to play it up it would be money

Also @kennyomegamanx If there’s one thing I can surely count on, it’s: death, taxes, and NXT fans tweeting at me non stop during one of their events. I know it sounds crazy, but I hope the best for all those guys. I’m not the enemy - just a guy doing his best somewhere else. What are they tweeting him tho?
Negative, you couldn't make it here or
Positive, you should be here

I'M THE BEST WRESTLING BOOKER EVER *x star* COMING INTO HIS OWN BLAH BLAH BLAH TNA WAS THE BEST Remember, a lot of the Fullsail crowd is the same Impact Zone crowd she pissed off and scared away. It would be so easy to play on that. That sweetspot of smark/kayfabe heat.

I had to read this like, three times before I realized you weren't saying this, and it was a quote. Odd formatting threw me off.

Considering next event is War Games you assume either Gargano and Black together put a team up against Ciampa or just one of them does. Either way that isn't until Nov so you would assume Black is healed by then if you want to have him and Ciampa have a one on one match too.
Ciampa has no real opponents outside of Black but it all depends how they want to treat the whodunit storyline.
At this point as well I can see a War Games match featuring Undisputed Era vs Mustache Mountain/War Raiders if Fish is back healthy in time too
The most interesting things moving forward is how Cole and Ciampa are positioned moving forward

Personal provisional star ratings for Takeover Brooklyn 4;
Undisputed Era vs Moustache Mountain: 5 stars (I've rewatched it this morning and actually can't find anything wrong with it. I think it's my favourite tag match of all time)
EC3 vs Velveteen Dream: 3 stars (Slow start but EC3 actually broke out some cool stuff and Dream continues to be one of the best at in ring storytelling)
Adam Cole vs Ricochet: 4.5 stars (The superkick was worth 4 stars alone)
Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane: 4 stars (Good match that grew into a great one with a hot crowd and amazing finish)
Tomasso Ciampa vs Johnny Gargano: 4.75 stars (Match gets the full 5 with a better finish that doesn't take way too long or make Gargano look like an absolute idiot)
Great event overall. We're so spoiled with NXT in 2018.

Loved the tag match and Rico/Cole stole the show. Good lord that superkick. Wow. Not often you're like "I've never seen anything like that in a ring." Sucks Dream was weighed down by working with EC3 when he is always at his best at Takeover. Maybe it is time, Vince. I wouldn't mind if I never saw another Ciampa/Gargano match again. This is such a long, drawn out feud. I preferred Gargano's matches with Almas. These are good matches, no doubt. But they've done the broken up tag team turn blood feud to death. This one is trying to up the ante and both succeeding in doing so better than normal, but not enough to warrant how much is put behind it. And I understand I'm in the minority on that. The fact that they give you this type of non-ending to the feud is hilarious, but also assures I'll have to endure yet another promo/video package/match that isn't gonna make me feel anything.

I was there live 4th year in a row and the main event yet again was not captivating at all. Nakamura/Joe two years ago was ok. But that Balor/Owens ladder match was so boring. It's a damn ladder match, how can it be boring? Drew/Roode was terribly boring I'll leave it at that.
This last man standing match didn't work for me. I enjoyed the first match these two had. After that it just didn't work for me anymore. They ending was wack the spots were meh. Nothing was gaining my interest so I fiddled on my phone sitting there.

For me the Last Man Standing match works as a part of a greater narrative. It doesn't really stand up by itself.
Like how Brock vs Cena in 2o14 is just a beatdown over 15 mins but as a part of a greater story it's important in establishing Lesnar as the final boss.
The callbacks to the previous matches and the way Johnny is currently in this massive funk of being Nega-Johnny that is costing him and others important matches due to his own recklessness are what make this so compelling. Ciampa won because Johnny has flat out lost his mind.

It sucks the triple threat was ruined because that would have been more intriguingly booked match

It sucks the triple threat was ruined because that would have been more intriguingly booked match I get the feeling that the idea that Gargano would cost himself the title over his hatred of Ciampa would have worked much better if the bad decision merely took himself out of the match, and Ciampa pinned Black while Johnny was unable to recover in time to stop it happening. Instead, his rage got the best of him and he lost twice in a row in a completely avoidable fashion.

The Tag match was good don't get me wrong but some of the spots annoyed the shit out of me. The swing spot with O'Reilly on Bate's shoulders, Bate getting straight back in the match after being in a submission hold for 5 mins and Bate constantly going for the bouncing back off the ropes with his neck spot.
Oh and Trent Seven doing a suicide dive, or flying moves period. Stop that.
