Gargano vs. Ricochet was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. NXT Takeover has quickly become my favourite series ever.
On the regular show: January’s regular NXT has been generally weaker than last year due to the fact that almost all matches this year have been predictable, sometimes only having 1 or no matches you can’t predict. It seems like a phase though, it was only 2-3 months ago and all the time before where every match was unpredictable (it may have had a “It’s probably going this way” feel, but never a “it’s definitely going this way” sort of thing like most matches this month).
NXT Takeover was one such show where nothing was predictable. You could assign probability, but predictability was not high on any match except Ohno vs Riddle. There have been less predictable Takeovers, but this one was more than adequate. It also gave us a match of the year contender.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
