My Top 5 (For Some Reasons) 1. NXT Take Over New Orleans ( 6 man ladder Match & Ciampa vs Gargano) 2. NXT Philadelphia ( Almas vs Gargano & Black vs Cole) 3. NXT Revolution ( Zayn vs Neville my first NXT PPV i watch) 4. NXT Dallas ( Zayn vs Nakamura my all time favorite Nxt Match) 5. NXT War Games ( Dream vs Black & War Games Match)
Exactly i get in matches that i wasnt that invested into leading into the ppv and by the end theyre usually really good matches. Summerslam has no chance of beating this.
Vaas Montenegro Wrestlemania X-Seven is on a whole other level imo, but for the modern era, NXT Takeover New Orleans really is one of the best ppvs top to bottom
‘And, Christ will seek revenge on Vincent Kennedy McMahon after Vince defeated his father at Backlash in 2006 Anna domini’ lovely little Easter egg there well done Sam
Really fun idea here! It's crazy that there have already been 20 different NXT Takeovers! While I am partial to NXT Takeover Brooklyn 1, I feel like NXT Takeover Dallas and one of the very early Takeovers with Charlotte/Nattie and Tyson Kidd in the main event (maybe this was the second one?) also has a soft spot in my heart. Hoping tomorrow's show tops them all! Keep up the great work guys!
DJCosmic That show's like Mania 25. It has one all time classic match (HBK/Taker, AJ/Nakamura) on a show I never have any desire to watch anything else
My favorite NXT match’s Ciampa Vs. Dream North American title ladder match Gargano Vs Almas Ciampa Vs Gargano Last Man Standing Match Adam Cole Vs Ricochet For North American Championship
I would have put unstoppable higher on the list. It had finn vs breeze, a good tag title match that had Bliss turn heel, sasha vs Becky which to me is still the best women's match in NXT history, Owens and Sami brawl and Samoa Joe debut...it was a hell of a show
When I was little, I mixed up Armageddon and Judgement day alot because of both their colours being orange. I do the same for super showdown and crown jewel now.
See Vince look what Triple H did with NXT What Vince did with NXT: Made it a shitty dumb game show because that’s GOOD SHIT What HHH did with NXT: Made it a amazing show and PPVs with amazing rivalry’s great matches and great story telling and uses the talented wrestler correctly Something Vince rarely ever does with raw and smackdown
In the Dream v. Ricochet match, Dream was dressed at Prince Puma which is why Ricochet looked down and mentioned something about them looking familiar.
I really wish they would put names on the takeover like they used to. Not that the name of the town it takes place in bothers me but imagine the titles they could come up with...
Ryan Myers well even though this might not count but nxt takeover war games ( also nxt takeover war games 2 is Happening in Los Angeles this year in November)
I was privileged to be in attendance for both Takeover Chicago shows, and let me tell you, rewatching on the network does no justice to the absolute energy that was in the building on those nights. Especially for Pete Dunne vs. Tyler Bate. Most fans really hadn't a clue who these guys were, and by the end of the match, you couldn't hear anything except massive chants of "BRUISERWEIGHT!". It was a phenomenal match. As for Chicago II, well, nothing could have prepared us for that night. It was simply perfect in all aspects. Right down to the absolutely beautiful story telling that is Gargano vs. Ciampa. It's going to be a sad day when that feud ends and one or both has to go to main roster and probably never have a high profile match again.
TakeOver Respect needs more recognition. Apollo vs Breeze has Apollo’s best match in WWE and American Alpha vs Rhyno & Corbin had the first great match of AA, that match made them a crowd favorite
Thanks for making this list. I was planning on watching the NXT Takeover Collection on the WWE Network but I wasn't sure about the strength of the card for each Takeover. My favorite Takeover is NXT Takeover Chicago.
Great list Jack NXT is the most consistent & BEST wrestling brand I have ever watched. If they do end up getting a TV deal, I hope that no one will step in to ruin the booking like they do on their other network shows.
You for got to mention that the crowd at TAKEOVER Philadelphia went full Philly and started chanting Fu*k Tom Brady since this was the week before Superbowl LII.
Man that Takeover Dallas was so stacked. The only real black mark was the blood stoppages in the Joe match. So good in that docuseries about NXT HHH said joking cursed them for taking his order to make the show hard to follow too far. "I said make it hard to follow, not impossible." and sure enough the Wrestlemania after was just okay in comparison.
J&T It had 2 epic matches to close the show though. Ember vs shayna wasn't really too bad, and the tag team match was decent too. The only average one was ohno vs dream. Quality ppv tho. Imo it deserves 2nd or 3rd place
Maybe I misunderstood, but didn’t he show a picture of Mr.T and Roddy in the boxing match from Mania 2 while making a comparison to inaugural wrestling shows?
You can make this this list (in my opinion) from the first to the last because Takeover keeps getting better in some way. So you know Brooklyn gonna be fire! Great job guys!
Imagine if for Survivor Series they could do NXT vs Main Roster so NXT Champion vs WWE/Universal Champion, NXT North American Champion vs Intercontinental/U.S Champion. Lars Sullivan vs Braun Strowman, Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler, Johnny Gargano vs Daniel Bryan.
1. New Orleans 2. Philly 3. War games The fact that the top 3 are so recent just makes me excited cause I know in the near future one of these or maybe all of these believe it or not might be replaced. Hopefully they are cause that means we got some 5 star beauties. Nxt has riddle, Keith Lee, dijak, undisputed era, war machine, Kairi sane, io Shirai, LeRae, purrazo, ricochet, etc. I think nxt is in good hands. The next 2 years of takeovers should have at least one 5 star match per show. I'm giddy just thinking about dijak vs Keith in the future cause we all know that's a money match.
1 man left standing
2 ex best friends
3rd match between them
4th NXT Brooklyn
5 star match incoming
WTF this deserves more likes
"STARS FOR EVERYONE!"- Ollie Davis impersonating Dave Meltzer
Jack Conor Ria technically it's their 3rd match as their unsanctioned one at New Orleans wasn't an official match
Conor Heminway It was still A match. An unsanctioned MATCH. And it got 5 stars from meltzer. So ofc it was a match.
Kanenums lacklustre my fucking ass
NXT Takeover: Lince Dorado
MetaGrave I don’t get it

2. NXT Philadelphia ( Almas vs Gargano & Black vs Cole)
3. NXT Revolution ( Zayn vs Neville my first NXT PPV i watch)
4. NXT Dallas ( Zayn vs Nakamura my all time favorite Nxt Match)
5. NXT War Games ( Dream vs Black & War Games Match)
"Worst", a word which here means "the 9.3 in a room of tens"
Vinnie Bartilucci Pretty much
Not only did Velveteen Dream dress up like Hulk, his tights were the same colour and pattern as Ricochet's Prince Puma mask and tights from LU.
aceCaptainSlow they weren’t just the same color and pattern, they were literally Ricochet’s Prince Puma tights he wore in a match against Marty Scurll
holy shit :o
I think he wanted Ricochet’s tights and Hulk’s headband. He couldn’t really do the whole mask look.
aceCaptainSlow you’re right
When I first saw the match, I liked that concept but I'm really surprised no one actually didn't get that concept
There is no Worst Takeovers tbh
Trafalgar Law34 Honestly, The Worst Takeover is only Really Good!
Andrew Shaw Exactly!
Yess exactly
Trafalgar Law34 There's no bad one.
Exactly i get in matches that i wasnt that invested into leading into the ppv and by the end theyre usually really good matches. Summerslam has no chance of beating this.
That NXT Takeover New Orleans is the Wrestlemania X-Seven of the modern era...
Vaas Montenegro Wrestlemania X-Seven is on a whole other level imo, but for the modern era, NXT Takeover New Orleans really is one of the best ppvs top to bottom
I know it's not a takeover but like I still think they should have included NXT Arrival somewhere since it was basically a takeover
lazymanundead also on the wwe network they have a collection of all takeovers and arrival is the first on
ig the king it is probably the 2nd best full sail show after rival
@@sebastianraphaelbiggs127 R Evolution?
lazymanundead I was wondering the same thing.
Spot a cheeky Elias as a rosebud at 6:02
“Like a house with a towel around its neck “ is the best description of anything ever
NXT Arrival was the first Takeover, even if Takeover isn't in its title.
I Must agree NXT Takeover New Orleans is the Best Nxt Takeover of All Time.
MaxtheFan Either that or NXT Takeover: Philadelphia.
How about now lol
IMO NXT TakeOver: New York is now the best
LittleAsian123 MA I was at that show (best takeover of all time)
My Top 5
5. Brooklyn
4. Dallas
3. Chicago
2. War Games
*HONORABLE MENTIONS*
. Toronto
. Philadelphia
. Chicago II
1. *New Orleans*
Brooklyn III was fantastic
Here after that incredible war games 2, NXT is promotion of the year, hands down
NXT isn’t a promotion NXT is part of WWE
@@Kingseye7 wrong nxt is wwe
I'm so glad I went to the one in New Orleans. When Adam cole won that place went crazy
Daniel Lopez i was there too. Been to 15 WWE events (mostly in here in the UK) and that was the best atmosphere I’ve ever witnessed
Connor Wood right!!! It was so awesome. Same here been at 10 wwe live shows but nothing like that ever!!
same here!! it was my first ever wrestling show too! the crowd was just amazing throughout the show
Daniel Lopez I'm from new Orleans and I couldn't make it so imagine how I must feel.
Been to 15+ shows and attending that show made it the best show I’ve ever been too. I don’t think anything will top it.
NXT Takeover: The End was actually named that due to the fact it was the last Takeover event at Full Sail
I hope they do another one.
@@DirtiestSoul hey
‘And, Christ will seek revenge on Vincent Kennedy McMahon after Vince defeated his father at Backlash in 2006 Anna domini’ lovely little Easter egg there well done Sam
Since when has there been a bad TakeOver!!?
Jerry Gurrola Since late 2000 and NEVER!
Really fun idea here! It's crazy that there have already been 20 different NXT Takeovers! While I am partial to NXT Takeover Brooklyn 1, I feel like NXT Takeover Dallas and one of the very early Takeovers with Charlotte/Nattie and Tyson Kidd in the main event (maybe this was the second one?) also has a soft spot in my heart. Hoping tomorrow's show tops them all! Keep up the great work guys!
Man this makes me miss how brutal Kevin Owens used to be i wish he was like this with Strowman
Jack should be allowed to do lists more often.
Every Wrestle Kingdom ranked from worst to best
The Perfect 10 the first few are pretty bad so that’s not that hard tbh
Most of them suck. Then the last 2
Nate Puterbaugh I think 10s main event was one incredible match
Jeez
AJ v Nakamura...
Hoo boy that was fun
DJCosmic That show's like Mania 25. It has one all time classic match (HBK/Taker, AJ/Nakamura) on a show I never have any desire to watch anything else
Nate Puterbaugh missing out on both the main event and the shibata ishii match then
Is jack the jobbers delivery of lines the best? I think so
Now that NXT Takeovers are done, Cultaholic could do this video again with every Takeover this time
Oh how better things would be if Triple H ran the main roster
You guys are going to have to redo this now that the TakeOver event chronology has ended.
My favorite NXT TakeOver is Brooklyn III.
I’m glad somebody else appreciates Lince as much as I do.
Not done with the video but my favorite part is already seeing Izzy cry again
I guess it is good occasionally to take a step back and realize that the past few Takeovers have been astounding. Nice list, Cultaholic!
My favorite NXT match’s
Ciampa Vs. Dream
North American title ladder match
Gargano Vs Almas
Ciampa Vs Gargano Last Man Standing Match
Adam Cole Vs Ricochet For North American Championship
Need to have Nakamura v zayn on here
This list makes me want to go back and binge watch all of them. Interestingly where are people placing Chicago 4 in this list?
I would have put unstoppable higher on the list. It had finn vs breeze, a good tag title match that had Bliss turn heel, sasha vs Becky which to me is still the best women's match in NXT history, Owens and Sami brawl and Samoa Joe debut...it was a hell of a show
Well done on the list Jack. Excellently presented
Takeover War Games is my favorite one, I'm glad you guys gave it the shine it deserves. Takeover Rival is also a sleeper hit, love that one too
R-Evolution holds a special place in my heart since I started watching NXT back in 2014. That and Takeover: Dallas were my favorites.
I love NXT takeover 25 because of that brilliant main event Between Cole And Gargano
I know this was made before that, but NXT takeover war games 2 is the best in my opinion
My favorite NXT superstar is Aleistar Black my favorite takeover is Philadelphia
Why does no one point out that the tights velvateen dream wore was supposed to be an imitation of ricochet's Prince puma persona.
Well...... i thought Velveteen's tights were resembling to Prince Puma's tights, in Chicago 2.
Love the list cause there is no bad takeover plus proud of my Los Angeles crowd for takeover war games 2 cause it was bonkers
My favourite list so far! good work Jacky boy
Since this was before Adam Cole NXT Title reign (aka the best of the bunch) this list would look very different in 2021
When I was little, I mixed up Armageddon and Judgement day alot because of both their colours being orange. I do the same for super showdown and crown jewel now.
No mention of Charlotte vs Bayley from Fatal four way?
See Vince look what Triple H did with NXT
What Vince did with NXT: Made it a shitty dumb game show because that’s GOOD SHIT
What HHH did with NXT: Made it a amazing show and PPVs with amazing rivalry’s great matches and great story telling and uses the talented wrestler correctly
Something Vince rarely ever does with raw and smackdown
2:33 god i wish that was me
R Evolution is too low, but it's hard to argue with the top 3. Man 2018 NXT is just fucking legendary.
‘Can we just get in the car, Jason...you’re too drunk’ and I’m floored. Love Jack King. 😂😂😂😂
In the Dream v. Ricochet match, Dream was dressed at Prince Puma which is why Ricochet looked down and mentioned something about them looking familiar.
1- NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III
2- NXT TakeOver: New Orleans
3- NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
4- NXT TakeOver: Chicago I
5- NXT TakeOver: War Games
"Drew McIntyre and Bobby Roode didn't really click"
Translation: Bobby Roode and Drew McIntyre had a 5-star match on a card of 7-star matches
I feel like NXT Takeover: The End is so underrated.
Agree
My favorite takeover is any takeover in which Ember Moon is in (especially her matches with Asuka).
I really wish they would put names on the takeover like they used to. Not that the name of the town it takes place in bothers me but imagine the titles they could come up with...
Ryan Myers well even though this might not count but nxt takeover war games ( also nxt takeover war games 2 is Happening in Los Angeles this year in November)
Alicia Fox technically it's the name of the main event match but it does sound better than “TakeOver L.A."
Ryan Myers true
It’s like a play on words like it’s taking over the city it’s in
I was privileged to be in attendance for both Takeover Chicago shows, and let me tell you, rewatching on the network does no justice to the absolute energy that was in the building on those nights. Especially for Pete Dunne vs. Tyler Bate. Most fans really hadn't a clue who these guys were, and by the end of the match, you couldn't hear anything except massive chants of "BRUISERWEIGHT!".

Great list Jack
NXT is the most consistent & BEST wrestling brand I have ever watched. If they do end up getting a TV deal, I hope that no one will step in to ruin the booking like they do on their other network shows.
This list was brilliantly done lads
I'm new to Cultaholic, & it's good stuff. Keep it up 👍👌
I think ArRival counts as TakeOver, even though it isn't titled as it.
15:43 YESS!! That's the thing you've never thought you want until someone mentions it. Give me that match!!!
Still remember watching the first one on the network back in 2014. Twenty fantastic PPV’s from Full Sail to sold out arenas.
I would say that Wargames 2 and New York are the best of all time
You for got to mention that the crowd at TAKEOVER Philadelphia went full Philly and started chanting Fu*k Tom Brady since this was the week before Superbowl LII.
Man that Takeover Dallas was so stacked. The only real black mark was the blood stoppages in the Joe match. So good in that docuseries about NXT HHH said joking cursed them for taking his order to make the show hard to follow too far. "I said make it hard to follow, not impossible." and sure enough the Wrestlemania after was just okay in comparison.
For Me
5. New Orleans 2
4. Revolution
3. Unstoppable
2. Dallas
1. Brooklyn
Jack ripping into London was the best part of the video tbh haha, he made me laugh alot
So glad I was there live for the best TakeOver ever. Amazing night of wrestling. I miss America so much.
Top video jack
Glad New Orleans was 1 but for me it's so hard between New Orleans and Dallas.
My top 5 NXT Takeovers
Takeover New Orleans 2018
Takeover Chicago 2017
Takeover Brooklyn 3 2017
Takeover Dallas 2016
Takeover War Games 2017
I was at the Philadelphia one. It was amazing
Baron Corbin: Go back to Ring of Honor!
Apollo Crews: I'm from Dragon Gate you idiot!
Watching on a turbulent plane 🤙🏽
The Jack the Ripper thing is so funny. I remember watching it going "wow that's an entrance wait isn't he Jack the Ripper?"
We need an updated version now that they’ve retired the Takeover name.
6:03 Is that Elias to the right of Adam Rose?
Yip!
RGB Games 101 Elias, Becky Lynch, Carmella, Simon Gotch and Braun Strowman xD
coupdegrace And i think that's "all night" tucker knight behind becky
Cultaholic i was looking for this video yesterday an i was hopping you would do this do thank you
Brooklyn 3 is way too low that is definitely in the top 5
1 New Orleans
2. Philadelphia
3. War games
4. Brooklyn 3
5. Chicago 2
J&T It had 2 epic matches to close the show though. Ember vs shayna wasn't really too bad, and the tag team match was decent too. The only average one was ohno vs dream. Quality ppv tho. Imo it deserves 2nd or 3rd place
Chicago II over Chicago I? Hmmm....
NOLA had one of the best ladder matches in WWE and an unbelievable finale with Almas and Gargano. Easily takes the cake
Did this guy not see the rest of the people within the Rosebuds in that picture he shared? :\ Elias, Dana Brooke & Carmella in the purple mask.
Nxt takeover philly: 1 5 star match
Nxt takeover New Orleans: “hold my beer”
I was at Takeover New Orleans and holy shit it was the best night of wrestling I have ever seen. Fully worth the flight.
Maybe I misunderstood, but didn’t he show a picture of Mr.T and Roddy in the boxing match from Mania 2 while making a comparison to inaugural wrestling shows?
I tottaly agree I love all the take overs more than the main wrestling events minus actually attending several manias
"Raw = War
and war = games
...and games are fun, which-"
I fucking love you, Jack
You can make this this list (in my opinion) from the first to the last because Takeover keeps getting better in some way. So you know Brooklyn gonna be fire! Great job guys!
this needs to be updated every year
Completely agree with New Orleans, absolutely incredible!🤙🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They should make an updated version of this
New Orleans is on a level of ppvs that really only includes Mania X7, Canadian Stampede, and MITB 2011
I agree the CZW tape was really entertaining
Anyone watching this before tonights nxt takeover war games 2? I think the card has potential on making it one of the best takeovers
SWIFTY MIFTY My exact plan bro
For me it’s Pete dunne vs Tyler Bate it was my favorite NXT match
Imagine if for Survivor Series they could do NXT vs Main Roster so NXT Champion vs WWE/Universal Champion, NXT North American Champion vs Intercontinental/U.S Champion. Lars Sullivan vs Braun Strowman, Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler, Johnny Gargano vs Daniel Bryan.
Nice list,Jack your my favorite but that’s doesn’t change the fact that you should Support WrestleTalk!!
1. New Orleans
2. Philly
3. War games
The fact that the top 3 are so recent just makes me excited cause I know in the near future one of these or maybe all of these believe it or not might be replaced. Hopefully they are cause that means we got some 5 star beauties. Nxt has riddle, Keith Lee, dijak, undisputed era, war machine, Kairi sane, io Shirai, LeRae, purrazo, ricochet, etc. I think nxt is in good hands. The next 2 years of takeovers should have at least one 5 star match per show. I'm giddy just thinking about dijak vs Keith in the future cause we all know that's a money match.
6:02 Is that Elias?
KSG_Official I think it is
Yep
Lol, yea
