Breezus Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not sure what this means but I really hope they won't have him perform as just 'Nakamura'. Anyway, confirmed participants for the Global Cruiserweight Series so far: * Zack Sabre Jr. * Johnny Gargano * Rich Swann * Tommaso Ciampa * Noam Dar * Hoho Lund * Akira Tozawa Pro wrasslin' in 2016 is fucking wild, man.

TheWindBlower Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Do we have a date for the start of the Cruiserweight tourney? I also hope they don't have Shinsuke compete as just "Nakamura." They did introduce him as "Shinsuke Nakamura" in the promos for the Zayn matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yeah but they also introduced Itami and Asuka with their previous gimmicks and then changed it. It wouldn't be a big deal I guess but still. I heard they're gonna tape it in June, it's gonna air in July and qualifying matches will take place at EVOLVE, Rev Pro and Progress (so far).

I don't remember them introducing Itami as KENTA. I didn't follow the Asuka signing, so I don't remember that one either. Interesting, though. I think that's a pretty big deal given just how much of a mega star Shinsuke was. I guess just dropping "Shinsuke" isn't that big of a deal though. Excellent. Thank you for that heads up. That'll be fun to watch. I'm definitely going to avoid spoilers on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This is getting ridiculous. It was Triple H’s decision for Eva Marie to join the Total Divas squad against B.A.D. & Blonde. Vince McMahon, who is interested in promoting NXT Women’s Champion Bayley to the main roster, wanted her to fill out the final spot on the babyface side. Hunter was not in favor of this, and explained to Vince that Eva Marie would be a perfect fit for the Total Divas team. He also pointed out that Bayley is part of the “wrestling” division and not the Divas division. While Vince likes Eva Marie, he felt she would garner too much heat from fans. Creative plans call for Eva Marie to continue to act as a heel on the team. Anyway, happy NXT Takeover Day, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm actually surprised, and happy, to see that Vince had the right idea on this call. I'm gonna call Eva somehow sabotaging her team at Mania if they're keeping her heel. It just truly hit me today that Shinsuke Nakamura is ACTUALLY gonna debut for WWE tonight. I'm beyond pumped.

dantheriver Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The first Nakamura shirt is real ugly. Pretty bummed about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 In a few hours Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries are going to wrestle in a WWE-owned ring. This is a great time to be a wrestling fan. i don't care about the build to Wrestlemania, the fan reaction to the main event, or the combined age of the Undertaker and Shane McMahon. It's Wrestle-fucking-Mania weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezus Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 If any of y'all are as impatient as me and want a little sneak peek of Swagsuke's entrance and theme, here you go. I'm so fucking HYPED for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWindBlower Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ibushi is at Takeover with Funaki. Graves teased the Cruiserweight tournament. Ibushi would be a hell of an addition to that. Also, great opening tag match. Really set a high tone for the night. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWindBlower Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 It was legitimately the best match I've seen in a long time. Great debut for Nakamura and send off for Zayn. This show has been unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWindBlower Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 What a fantastic show. Start to finish. Corbin finally delivered. I haven't been his biggest fan, but he and Aries had an absolutely great match. He really stepped up tonight with his best match by far. Nakamura and Zayn stole the show though, as expected. Match of the year, calling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knifeparty Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hopefully Takeover pushes the main roster to really step up their game at Wrestlemania. Tonight's show was excellent. A great way to kick off the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Nakamura/Zayn will be the MOTY in the WWE universe hands down American Alpha winning the gold was a highlight too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezus Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Takeover: Dallas was absolutely fantastic. One great match after another, everyone looked strong as hell and on top of that, Kota fucking Ibushi and Bobby fucking Roode were in attendance. Nakamura-Styles and Nakamura-Zayn are my two top MOTY candidates so far, this is so wild. Good luck, WM Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The first Nakamura shirt is real ugly.
