thought Joe got called up from NXT months ago? assumed he was on smackdown, swear I remember reading he was called up

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Nov 19, 2016 8:23 pm

I'm in absolute shock lol, by the looks of it so is the crowd.

Great match though, whole PPV has been great even the two matches I expected nothing from were good.

People expected him to ages ago but he still hasn't lol.

Didn't expect that

Great match

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Nov 19, 2016 8:30 pm

Nobody did, I can't remember the last time I was this shocked lol.

Guessing people want to see Styles vs x legend superstar purely because of the match. Not because of the story, promos or hype it would generate. hmm

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:14 am

AJ-Taker would create the 2nd biggest hype after Cena-Taker.

by Onyx Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:20 am

Hype within the WWE universe. But not larger than life hype like Lesnar/Goldberg imo.

by Onyx Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:23 am

I still consider Styles on the same level as Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns etc in terms of talent and star power. He's not a megastar like Cena, Taker, Lesnar, Goldberg, HHH etc imo.

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:24 am

Well I suppose they can have Stone Cold return to face Taker if you want that kind of hype.

Next year they can bring back HBK and Brett to have a triple threat in a hospice match between Taker, Brett and HBK

dat larger than life hype

Of course he isn't he's been there less than a year lol.

Also Goldberg vs Lesnar hasn't created anywhere near the hype Styles and Cena did.

I still don't care about Goldberg and Lesnar tbh, the segments have been meh, it's happening to sell a video game, the story is trash and the match will be trash.

Don't care for it at all really.

by Onyx Sun Nov 20, 2016 8:03 am

Still in good shape imo. Should edit the colour of his goatee though.

by M99 Sun Nov 20, 2016 11:55 am

DIY vs The Revival is one of the best tag team matches I've ever seen. Absolute amazing match. 5 stars.

That was an amazing Takeover, better than Brooklyn.

FFS when will Joe get called up tho

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:50 pm

Completely agree with everything, it might actually be the best takeover of the year.

Some have had higher moments but everything here was great, can't say a bad thing about any of it.

I have no interest in Survivor Series and I feel comfortable with that because of how good Takeover was will probably just run through it tomorrow but no plans to actually watch it in full.

by Onyx Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:59 pm

Made a James Ellsworth pro for clubs. hmm

by Onyx Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:15 pm

Dat larger than life moment between Goldberg and Austin at the end. :bow:

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:21 pm

lmao Batista was so shit on the mic.

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:44 pm

Unreal entrance

he was actually really good as a heel during his final run before he left

Brotista Proud

Lesnar doesn't practice his matches or something right? heard he just goes over a few details..quite plausible he and Goldberg are gonna get in there and stink it up something fierce later..likely even. Doubt they've practiced or anything.

Wonder if it will be a quick match, can't imagine it'll be a long one

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Nov 20, 2016 2:16 pm

I liked Batista a lot but he was never that good on the mic, it's not as important as people make out nowadays. ( the amount of people who are considered legends from the 90s and early 2000s who were shite on the mic is endless)

What's more important is character and being in engaging storylines. Batista had a good character most of the time and was always in good storylines, nobody is going to give a shit about anyone if the storylines you are involved in are garbage.

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 2:19 pm

It matters even less considering Batista is a hollywood star now and can speak really well Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Nov 20, 2016 2:22 pm

Obviously it's all irrelevant now lol.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:12 pm

Smart money is in for Survival Series, obviously don't read if you don't want it spoiled.

Spoiler:

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:13 pm

Something big happening tonight man. I am hyped for that.

inb4 kevin nash returns for a comedy segment with Golderbg

by Firenze Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:24 pm

something will happen during goldberg vs lesnar

that isn't ending clean

haven't seen Triple H for a while

inb4 him vs Goldberg at Mania Laughing

might watch it since I hear it kicks off at 12

tbh only like the look of the top 2 matches

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:29 pm

Oh yeah agree on the clean part.

Honestly I don't care for any of the matches lol, only match I'm invested in is Miz and Zayn because I desperately want the IC title not to go to Raw.

Other than that I don't care, might still watch though lmao.
