NXT TakeOver Stand & Deliver NIGHT TWO Discussion Thread - Thu April 8th

Santos Escobar looks like a fucking beast of a man

Came in to the match only knowing of Devlin, came out of the match thinking I've just seen a star in the making. Tremendous talent.

He definitely deserved the win.

I kind of wasn’t feeling this show as much as night one. I didn’t dislike it but I just wasn’t as into it, I did like Balor v Kross and Cole v O’Reilly though.

 

[Just Juice]

I enjoyed Cole and Kyle - but they stretched it out longer than it needed to be. If they'd remove one of the big spots - would have easily been a 9/10+ match. Still a really good match to watch. MotN

 

[Dale]

Will try and get to Cole/Kyle if I can be bothered at some point.

Not sure what the general consensus on the ladder match was but it really didn't do anything for me at all. Not saying it was a bad match by any stretch, maybe it was just because I didn't have any interest in either guy in the match but I wasn't wow'd by it or anything.

Gargano/Bronson was great, fucking loved that match. Really wasn't expecting overly much coming into but this shit delivered and then some.

Kross/Finn was a banger too. I honestly don't see all the negativity surrounding Kross myself, think he's pretty fucking damn good and the whole dynamic with Scarlett and whatever you wanna call their gimmick, is interesting. They just really need to tone Scarlett down on the entrance, she's way too much.

It's because you weren't watching with us fine gentlemen

 

[Poyser]

Kross/Balor was really good, Reed/Gargano was great and Cole/o’reilly was shite imo. Also kross/Balor should have main evented that felt like a waaayyyy bigger match and was presented with a big fight feel

 

[Marty McFourth]

Cole/o’reilly was shite imo.

What didn't you like about it out of curiosity? I felt like they made good use of the unsanctioned, but definitely nowhere near the best matches of both nights. It was definitely missing a little something.

 

[Poyser]

It went on for about 5 hours and I just don’t give a crap about either guy tbf which probably doesn’t help. I found it pretty boring and Kyle o’reilly selling like he was dead just to pop back up was ridiculous lolol

Fair enough. It didn't feel too long for me watching last night, even though it was nearly 4am. I guess I was just marking out because I'm a fan of both guys, it definitely helps to be.

Watching Night 2 and even though it's hard to keep invested in two Heels facing each other in a Ladder Match Escobar and Devlin are winning me over. Somebody needs to give Beth Phoenix a Spanish Lesson. She said Escobar called Devlin a Cockroach and that is a huge no more like Escobar told Devlin his girl is cheating on him. He said it again when he landed on the Ladder

 

[Just Juice]

At this stage - Beth is worse than Madison Rayne at commentary. She thinks she has to be the opposite of Barrett in every match

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Man the NXT Women's Tag Title Match and the NA Title Match were both snoozefests to watch for me. As much as I like to look at Indi and Shotzi yeah it didn't feel like Takeover to me with those Matches. Time to turn up the heat with Kross vs Balor!

Well that's a WWE commentary team for you.

 

[Chris]

Replace Beth with Mickie goddammit

 

[Professor Booty]

Well that's a WWE commentary team for you.

The adding of a third person has been the shits
