The Finn video's really had the feel good factor going.

So.....Emma's music has changed again...

A hybrid between her and Dana's music?

Like someone just rammed them both onto Traktor without beatmatching.

CastorTroy · 02-07-2015 10:44pm

Was wondering that about Sasha as well. Then again, I suppose with Becky and Bayley injured, that really only leaves Sasha, Charlotte and Carmella. Just hope it doesn't affect Becky going after her.

Was thinking maybe Paige will help her then she help Paige on the main roster in return.

Pentecost · 02-07-2015 10:53pm

Blue Pants.

CastorTroy · 03-07-2015 12:24am

Was gonna suggest her, but wouldn't want someone who overshadows Sasha.

F*ck thats HUGE!! They are gonna sell it out. WWE selling out Barclays Center 2 days in a row will be massive for them. They should definitely make that a network exclusive show

It is an NXT Takeover so it IS a Network exclusive show.

But yeah it is pretty crazy.

Are they not planning on having a special on August 12th tho?

Wednesday, August 12th - NXT live special
* Thursday, August 13th - NXT TV tapings

LeeJM · 03-07-2015 5:18pm

Sh*t somehow I totally missed that Takeover logo! So assuming Finn wins tomorrow what do we think main events? Balor v Joe? Will Zayn or Itami be back by then? A possible glimpse at a WWE not NXT Finn "Demon" entrance. Im totally buzzed over this. Just so much to look forward to

Itami is a maybe but no way on Zayn. Zayn will be out until 2016 or near enough.

Sasha Banks was pushing hard on social media and in interviews before the announcement about either Wrestling Bayley singles or doing a triple threat against Bayley and Becky at the next Takeover. Bayley is super over on outside of Florida live events this should be Bayley's time to win the title in my opinion.

Really? Do you not think Becky is next in line after her "arrival" against Sasha last time out?

I did as per this week's TV show. But this announcement kind of changes everything for me. Obviously not life or death. Just Bayley's popularity when NXT tours is something else.

The show is running against two big indie shows in New York. Ring of Honour at a Baseball stadium with some New Japan wrestlers and a big budget indie called Pro Wrestling Syndicate who have booked Rey Mysterio.

LeeJM · 03-07-2015 5:46pm

Gonna be a major test for how big the NXT crowd really is. And could really hurt the PWS show. Definitely think we are gonna get a MEGA main event. Totally fantasy booking Id go for Balor v Joe v Itami for the title.

Is Itami not out for much longer. His injury was meant to take him out of action for six to eight months.

I believe he said four months to the NXT crowd at the last taping.

And they do tend to add time on to injuries for the surprise factor.

Rovert as you're a man in the know are they still planning on having these;

Wednesday, August 12th - NXT live special
* Thursday, August 13th - NXT TV tapings

If they're also planning a live special on the 22nd of August?

billion dollar baby · 03-07-2015 6:09pm

Sasha hasn't held the title long enough for my liking so I don't want her to lose it just yet. Wouldn't mind either Bayley or Becky being the next in line for it but I have a funny feeling that they are going to push Eva Marie into the title picture. I can see s Sasha v Eva match in the next Takeover

DM_7 · 03-07-2015 8:13pm

Is the Rock busy that night?

Jericho will probably be there.

Stereomaniac · 03-07-2015 8:41pm

What movie was The Rock shooting in Boston that he turned up at the house show last weekend? It would be good to see him turn up at this as it would bring more eyes to NXT I guess.

LeeJM · 03-07-2015 10:05pm

Doesnt Jay Z have an interest in the Barclays Center? Possible he could be in attendance on the night

rovert · 03-07-2015 11:55pm

WWE has increased ticket prices in some parts of Florida to $25, $50 and for ringside $100. You get meet and greet for the latter two pricing options:

Used to be just $10 and $20.

Pentecost · 04-07-2015 12:10am

NXT is the in thing in WWE right now. No real surprise they'd start looking at ways of making more money out of it.

But some of the cities they run in Florida are completely in the sticks and very economically depressed. Also NXT in Florida relies on a lot of regulars. I know a few people who go to 75% of the shows. It is a different business compared to WWE's which visits a city once or twice a year. Also NXT cards are largely novices and a decent proportion that haven't made TV. It is a test which will likely fail but I am really down on even attempting it.

Pentecost · 04-07-2015 12:27am

Yeah fair points, I was probably being a bit glib. I can imagine if you were a regular attendee with your kids etc and they jack up the price like that it'd really hurt. They can always make money from the ever increasing out of state special events.

Stereomaniac · 04-07-2015 12:47am

They could probably getting away with charging that price for events which are going to be broadcast. But surely they'll realise the error of their ways once they get a few small houses?

Palo Alto · 04-07-2015 6:45am

Getting rid of a few of the 'regular's isn't necessarily a bad thing.

rovert · 04-07-2015 7:42pm

Got to NXT late this week. Cool to see Nhooph make a cameo this week. She was girl who Eva Marie was Wrestling:

Carmella has improved a lot and seems more comforable. Bull Dempsey was fairly amusing but I don't know about his long term future doing it.
