Seems like Vega as a mouthpiece definitely helped. I have never been really sold on Almas but he's slowly making an impression on me. That being said, I'm not sure if he will succeed on the main roster but there's time for that.
@bchstr6 жыл бұрын
lazyassslothin He will definitely succeed on the main roster, he’s got the wrestling ability, the charisma, the look, he’s like the Alberto Del Rio that lived up to the hype. Almas is money waiting to be made. He’s a guy Vince would like.
@Helldog66 жыл бұрын
"Alberto Del Rio that lived up to the hype" This. If they give Almas the backing they gave Del Rio, he'll be golden. He's far better in almost every respect, and I think could actually make it work long term. Especially with Vega at his side.

4 things I took away from Takeover 1. Velveteen Dream is massively over 2. Sonya Deville is done for when Shana Bazler comes to main cause she’s a far superior performer with the mma gimmick 3. They can still pull off amazing extreme rules matches in a pg rated show 4. Nothing is gonna top Gargano vs Almas in the entire WWE the rest of the year

In one title shot and one title defense, Almas has become my favorite NXT champion ever. That's what's so great about NXT, though sometimes the big signees fall flat, there's always guys that steal the show and MAKE everyone notice them. Don't know who to equate that to wether it's Triple H or not but that's how wrestling should be. Show me why you're the best.

During this PPV there were several times where I had a logical predicted winner, but the match was so good that emotionally I wanted/expected the other side to win. Gargano vs Almas for example! Jesus Christ, was I rooting for Gargano by the end of the match, but logically, there was no reason for Almas' reign to end so quickly. Another example was Ember Moon vs Shayna Baszler. Moon losing would make the champion look weak, but goodamn did Baszler get herself over as such a sadistic and dominant heel! You can tell Baszler's having a lot of fun out there and she's got plenty of potential going forward

This TakeOver was among the best... here’s my review, if anyone cares (probably not but eh, who cares, that’s right, not a lot of people) Tag Title match was great, one of the best tag matches in a long time. Ohno vs Dream was brilliant. Simply put, I loved it. I’m a massive Ohno fan, but man, Dream is going to have a breakout year, no doubt. Baszler vs Moon was weird. Great structure to this match, people are hating it for it being boring but it was enthralling to watch. Cole vs Black was awesome. Some of the spots in this match... jeezus, who suggested the Necro Butcher spot with those chairs, poor Adam Cole. Black won and Cole still looked great. Win-win. This was, no joke, my favourite match of the year until... Almas vs Gargano. The best wrestling match of the year. Fight me. The pace of the match, Gargano Escape being applied for the longest damn time. Gargano’s selling, Almas’ selling. Beautiful sequences, brutal targeting of the head, and a great ending with the top rope DDT. For me, 5 star match. Then Ciampa returned. Yep. I just know that Ciampa vs Gargano at TakeOver: New Orleans is going to be the best thing. Also, EC3 returned, and War Machine/Ricochet were in the crowd, but that was common knowledge. Overall, a beautiful night of wrestling. In my mind, the best TakeOver since Brooklyn III. WarGames was amazing but Brooklyn was historical and this was ground-breaking. Not one bad match.

I'm not sure they know. Cole's booking reeks of lack of planning. He's the leader of a faction that claims to be taking over, undisputed, etc. And started out by attacking the champions. Then just never went near the title at all after that. Had half a feud that went nowhere with Roderick Strong. Landed in the big throw-together schmoz of War Games. Then in it what amounts to his only real personal angle seems to mainly be acting like an idiot and getting murdered by Alestair.

It would have been one of the best, if the ending hadn't been one of the worst.

MAXIMILLIONtheGREAT I've seen way too many people say the ending was bad. It really wasn't. This is a middle chapter in the story. Gargano & Ciampa can wage war for several months, while Almas escapes title defense after title defense. Eventually Gargano beats Ciampa in a Loser Leaves NXT match before facing Almas one last time, and beating him for the belt. This is gonna be a long storyline and I wouldn't be surprised to see it resolve nearly a year from now.

I'm already a johnny Wrestling fan, but need to admit that Almas won me over. Mucho RESPECT to both as they put on WWE's first MOTY candidate.

I just got back from Takeover and it was a great show, except for the women's match which wasn't bad but wasn't as good as the rest of the ppv. The main event was absolutely amazing and one of the best matches I've seen. And the crowd was great too

I saw a lot of people hating on the Ember Moon/Baszler fight but I thought it was pretty good. Ember sold that arm like crazy and made Shayna look dangerous as hell (esp good considering people haven't warmed to her.) The finish was wonky but otherwise I thought they told a good story. I also thought the Adam Cole/Aleister Black match was going to overshadow the main event but Gargano and Almas just brought it. As usual the main show is going to struggle to be anywhere near as good as NXT.
@karanrawat8356 жыл бұрын
I legit thought that Shayna might just win the moment Ember Moon couldn't pin Shayna after hitting her finisher. It was a good match, but I hope this doesn't lead to another Takeover match. I would prefer Kairi vs Ember than another Ember vs Shayna match

It seems like this is the blowoff so I'd assume they go onto something else after this.

No doubt almas and gargano will only get 3.5 stars from big Dave although it was such a great match nxt just always beats expectations the rumble will unlikely better it

Stephen Pike may be, but just don't say that Kenny/Jericho was better than Almas/Gargano but again it will never get 5* because of not being in wwe, also Jericho never had a 5* match in his career , he go to Japan and get 1

I thought he was going to leave the company till he was teamed with Vega. Shes the real star, but his wrestling ability has just grown and grown recently. I wanted him to win because Gargano is going to move up to the main roster after his match with Ciampa, Almas needed a big win here. Good that he won clean as well.
