Call of the night by Mauro, was during the NA Title match. Roddy crotched Dream on the ring post, and he yells, "From the home of the Raptors... nothing but NUT!"
Going into the show I wasn't that excited for Io vs Candice but when it happened my expectations were blown away.. I mean we all knew Io was gonna win but I didn't think Candice was gonna get so much offense in and I'm glad she did it was a great match
Jeff Carbone There have been even better women’s matches I’ve seen in Stardom this year, so women’s wrestling in 2019 has been a blast for me, but in WWE, they really hit a slump after Mania; not to any fault of theirs.
Tbh I liked candice vs io way more than the tag match. The tag match was fine but nowhere near takeover tag match standard. The 3 way was great and shows how fantastic and underappreciated Roderick is. The main event was of course insane and fantastic and brutal
I thought the same thing. The tag match was possibly my least favourite match of the night but it was still great just not as good as previous opening nxt tag matches
i feel like Yim came in with a lot of pressure to perform at a high level and it kinda cost her a bit in her performance. Yim is a beast but she felt sloppy in her match with Bazler. Love Bazler as a heel, but she isn't a high level wrestler either so it showed a lot with Yim in their match... Yim will do much better on her next takeover match, i can feels it.
Side note, Austin Theory is a future MEGA STAR. He has the look, and is quietly becoming one of the best in ring talents in the world. He’s gonna make waves in NXT
@@Dave_ja_vu unlike impact/tna wwe has a working relationship with evolve with nxt talent working on evolve shows so it seems all but certain hes signed to nxt.
David Johnson - All I know is that Theory was Evolve Champ for a while and WWE & Evolve has a working relationship so I’m sure he signed a 5 year deal.
Didn't agree with Jack's comment about Io Shirai vs Candice LeRae not living up to the standard of previous TakeOver events. It was probably the best women's division match in NXT since Asuka was called up.
Yeah actually, I don't really bother watching the NXT women's match on a takeover but this one I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. And I was playing Minecraft while watching it 😂
@@Dave_ja_vu they're a billion dollar company, they don't need me defending them. You keep watching something with the intent to get mad. Make sure you spend all night in comment sections saying how much they suck too. That'll show them.
I agree with Jack that a Takeover that’s “bad” isn’t perhaps bad but the standards of NXT is a high bar so when a PPV goes ever so slightly below it it’s considered bad even though it is still a very good PPV that just isn’t as good as others
I’d rank this show 9/10. Three of the matches were great (tag team title match, io sharai vs Candice larae, and the North American title match) plus I also thought the brawl between Matt Riddle and Killian dain was also great. Yes the women’s title match is what kept the show from being a 10/10 but I still think it was a good match. No it wasn’t an instant classic technical match but it did tell a good story. And finally there was an all time classic between Johnny gargano and Adam cole. I truly don’t think these two are capable of having a bad match. This was at least a 5 star match and maybe should be even more
popopo lklklklklk a great match doesn’t have to be 5 stars. In fact I wouldn’t give 5 stars to any match but the main event. I’d say they were in the 4 star range while the women’s title match was a 2.5/3 star match
Saucey2K He actually hit a purple rainmaker on Strong to put him out, they didn’t show that part on the tv since Dream was off camera when Strong was pinning Dunne
Saucey2K I know why did you see that spot like that. He was actually hit the purple rainmaker, it just seemed that he only pushed Strong away from camera
I don’t think Gargano will be available that. As of now it looks like War Games will be for all the gold. If Gargano is moving on to the main roster you need someone to be Cole’s challenger. Riddle certainly isn’t ready for that so I imagine we’re looking at Pete Dune or someone else.
thelinedrive if Johnny goes up HHH should see if he can keep Johnny until War games because UE should win that match if not they could do whoever wins the breakout tournament or maybe Ciampa if he’s back
Greatest women’s matches in wwe history 1. Sasha vs Bayley Takeover Brooklyn 2. Becky vs Charlotte Evolution 3. Asuka vs Ember Takeover Brooklyn 3 4. Sasha vs Becky Takeover Unstoppable 5. Io vs Candice Takeover Toronto I SAID WHAT I SAID!!
The bit where you said 'so the end of the match was upon us' is exactly why the main event was just fine but not great. It was all signposted pretty heavily and was more a paint by numbers run to the final spot.
I missed the tag match, but candice vs io, the triple threat and the main event were great. mia vs shana while not up there, was still better than any recent womens match on the main roster. No one can call this a bad show!
I thought the show was great. Every match was great in my opinion except the women’s title match which put me to sleep. I especially loved that triple threat and man. What a main event. I’d give this show a 4.25-4.5 out of 5
Got to see this live, I think this was my favorite show I've seen live, every match except the women's title was AMAZING! Triple threat was my favorite!
I just got home from the show as well. The triple threat was awesome. Crowd was completely dead for the women’s championship. And the main event... bonkers.
@@mrglass3617 Ya the women's match was pretty dead, I think me especially I was really worn out from the 3 great matches we had already seen, but the main event I couldn't not care about.
i love gargano, but i can only remember takeover 25 match again cole, the match was amazing however the transitions between moves were awful, and not seemless at all, and i have only seen it in garganos matches, not in coles. maybe a reason hes been in nxt for over 3 years
Anyone else's WWE Network stream seem a bit buggy? Many times the action stopped, rewound and then quickly fast forwarded...and much of the action was cut off.
imo the main event was the best match of theirs, the psychology was perfect and made so much more sense than the first, and there was so much originality
Loved this TakeOver. I agree that Yim v Baszler wasn't upto expectations but all takeovers have an underwhelming match. If any TakeOver was underwhelming overall this year it was TakeOver Phoenix for me.
I think you’re underrating the show a little bit. I at least think this was as good as Phoenix with 3 matches that were really really good and two matches that were entertaining or at least decent. I love your videos btw
Bit half arsed this. Got the ending to the NAC match and the Women’s Championship match considering she didn’t with the her usual submission... Also the third fall wasn’t a secret stipulation, it was revealed in the pre show...
This was my first live show other than Raw and SmackDown. Gargano vs Cole was the best match I’ve ever seen in person. I’ll be at Summerslam tonight, but I don’t think there’s a match on the card that will outdo that main event.
I was hardcam side on the floor, no one in the crowd seemed to like either mia or shayna. And the match felt like slow motion compared to what we got earlier. I personally enjoy shayna, but her style is always going to slow everything down. If the match card was rearranged it might have been alright
Spend $9 and sub to Stardom World for a month and look for white belt title matches. You'll see even better. Or just look up some of Io's Stardom work if you can find it...
You say the crowd was really with Cole. Not sure how it came off on tv but in the arena was Gargano ever getting booed during his entrance. After the show went off the air and Gargano managed to get up the whole arena was chanting "Johnny wrestling" which was cool. Toronto wanted to see Cole win buf appreciated everythinf Gargano did in that match
Awesome event. After the match Coke and Gargano had I wish there was a littlie more emph to that finish though. Aside from that top match of the year candidate for sure.
I had a feeling Cultaholic wouldn’t get Johnny taking the DQ for the first fall. Cole went into the second fall having just taken 5 chair shots. It was a pretty obvious strategy
Sharai vs Le Rea was my first full Io match and I'll say she is the best looking heel on TV. Her face looks pained but accepting and it's scary to look at. Also great heel work in the ring too
Commentary made a point to say that Io locked up Candice in a way where she physically couldn’t tap and had to pass out, which makes Io fucking terrifying.
12:00 Jack, were you even watching the match? Shayna had to lock in the Kirifuda clutch with her LEGS because of the work Mia did to her arms. That was a brilliant spot, but of course people didn't see it. Cause it wasn't an overindulgent 1 hour "classic".
C'mon, Jack, that was an excellent NXT Takeover, except for the Shayna-Mia match. All other 4 matches were incredible, and while not THE best Takeover of all time, this show is definitely up there.
The issue with Mia Yim and Baszler is was like watching two bruisers go at it, like a Brock vs Strowman match, never go well. Maybe Io should have fought Mia and Baszler fight Candice?
Call of the night by Mauro, was during the NA Title match. Roddy crotched Dream on the ring post, and he yells, "From the home of the Raptors... nothing but NUT!"
Mauro is a goddamn treasure.
Io vs Candice was by far the best women’s match in WWE this year, no contest. Io is straight up one of the best wrestlers WWE has to offer.
Not often a gargano match isn't my favorite match on a takeover card but this did it

Try to imagine a Pete Dunne entrance with dancing girls and not laugh hysterically.
I think all 4 matches except Yim vs Bazler were as good as any TakeOver

CANNDICE v IO was EPIC, the sleeper match of the night.
"He was wheezing and gasping, and that was really good to see." - Jack The Jobber, 2019
