I'm watching the HOF.

The Dudleys (and Edge and Christian) were great and were fun to listen to. Bits from Ron Simmons and Matt and Jeff in there, too, and even a jab at Mr. T and his momma!

Now it's Hillbilly Jim and it's just

. I skipped the induction from Jimmy Hart. Maybe that was better. But he's just rambling about shit.

WRAP IT UP ALREADY

bork · « **Reply #4682 on:** April 06, 2018, 09:24:34 PM »

I live in the now, too, Jim. And by that I mean NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

bork · « **Reply #4683 on:** April 06, 2018, 09:26:48 PM »

HE'S STILL GOING

He has said "so as I come to the finish here" like five times already.

bork · « **Reply #4684 on:** April 06, 2018, 09:28:10 PM »

He's done talking

bork · « **Reply #4685 on:** April 06, 2018, 11:07:42 PM »

The Warrior Award kid did better than almost everybody else.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #4686 on:** April 07, 2018, 07:52:15 AM »

I made it through Jimmy Hart's intro speech and like 3 minutes of Hillbilly Jim before I was all "let's just finish getting caught up on NXT before Takeover tomorrow"

bork · « **Reply #4687 on:** April 07, 2018, 09:38:07 AM »

I liked The Dudleys and Jeff Jarrett's speeches. The Warrior Kid also was pretty good (he made some good jokes!) but Dana Warrior going on about her husband and shit from four years ago before introducing him was

.

Goldberg and Ivory were OK I guess. I didn't like Goldberg kind of shitting on Kevin Nash, even if he deserved it...it just doesn't seem like it has a place at a supposed "hall of fame ceremony." But I know it's a fake HOF and just WWE marketing so whatever I guess.

Kid Rock was...well...he was there. Short speech so whatever. Don't care. I assume he's really there to come out at Mania on Sunday and start playing American Badass, which the Undertaker will come out to.

Hillybilly Jim...nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Sorry man...

\

Noticed a lot of Hogan name-dropping. Makes me wonder if that's a hint that he's coming back or if the inductees just didn't give a shit about who they could or couldn't talk about.

bork · « **Reply #4688 on:** April 07, 2018, 09:11:51 PM »

Taveover so far:

-Adam Cole is the first-ever North American champ. Missed a good bit of this match, but saw a bunch of crazy ladder stuff going on.

-Shayna Baszler just won the women's championship from Ember Moon a rear naked choke (Kirifuda Clutch or something?).

bork · « **Reply #4689 on:** April 07, 2018, 09:40:40 PM »

Undisputed Era retains their belts. Roderick Strong suddenly turned on his partner Pete Dunne and helped them win. Now he's in the group.

The announcers were saying that he always wanted to be a champion or with champions in NXT. Er...his team was about to win the belts!

bork · « **Reply #4690 on:** April 07, 2018, 10:52:44 PM »

Aleister Black new champ! That was an awesome match!!

Ciampa/Gargano is just brutal.

bork · « **Reply #4691 on:** April 07, 2018, 11:05:11 PM »

Gargano wins and is back! Those last two matches were fuckin' great.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #4692 on:** April 07, 2018, 11:30:34 PM »

Mania is not topping that shit.

Also Dream is probably permanently fucked up from that elbow off the ladder, Matt Hardy is still troubled from a leg drop spot off the cage he did against Edge back in '05.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #4693 on:** April 08, 2018, 02:35:29 AM »

Really liked that Takeover.

Now... who gets called up? Ember, AOP are the easy predictions. If they'd put Ciampa over obviously Johnny would (deservedly) be getting called up but now I wonder. I would still call him up but do you put him on 205 live? Or Raw or SD?

nachobro · « **Reply #4694 on:** April 08, 2018, 01:03:54 PM »

Enjoyed that Takeover a lot, Every match had some great moments and the main event was really fantastic. My only complain is EC3. Gonna side with Stro, the Hogan level tan plus bacne is a really terrible look for that dude.

Who is this Sam Roberts dude and why does he look like Pauly Shore's cousin?

Radio/podcast host. He does a show on Sirius with Jim Norton that I think replaced Opie and Anthony and has a wrasslin' podcast. He's usually on the kickoff show panels.

bork · « **Reply #4697 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:40:31 PM »

They couldn't just have JR and King on commentary? Did Byron NEED to be in there?

bork · « **Reply #4698 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:41:12 PM »

Goldust with a dab

Is that a new costume with the Dusty dots?

bork · « **Reply #4699 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:42:44 PM »

Oh yeah, Ziggler still there. I saw he popped up saying that his contract is up soon and all the talk that all the dirtsheets were saying about him signing a contract extension with a crazy amount of pay was bullshit.

bork · « **Reply #4700 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:45:00 PM »

Goldust walking around, not doing anything.

JR then mentions how active Goldust has been in this match.

And only one for Mania. Makes no fucking sense as always.

bork · « **Reply #4703 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:49:38 PM »

Looking at from a storyline-only approach...wouldn't Cena want to at least be in this battle royal rather than just watch?

JR...Goldust isn't the only veteran here. Kane is there. Come on.

bork · « **Reply #4706 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:53:14 PM »

Thought Ziggler was going to win this with all the focus he kept getting. Matt winning?

bork · « **Reply #4707 on:** April 08, 2018, 05:54:24 PM »

Bray Wyatt reappears and looks exactly the same as before.

bork · « **Reply #4708 on:** April 08, 2018, 06:14:44 PM »

Quote from: Stro on April 08, 2018, 05:57:38 PM

Uh....the last time Wyatt was on TV, he and Matt were trying to kill each other at Matt's house and Wyatt was drowned in a lake

Him helping Matt at least makes sense from a kayfabe standpoint- the "sister abigail" persona was erased from him in the lake or whatever.

Am also sure that their plan is to have him feign being a face and then turn on Matt to continue the feud later on.

Quote from: Stro on April 08, 2018, 05:57:38 PM

Also note: Last year, Bray was in a WWE Championship match

This year, he did a run in in a battle royal on the pre-show

And now, commercial for Mania again. At least makes sense this time since this hour is televised, IIRC. Now we get the split window.

Paige with no intro

Nice, awkward camera zoom.

Wait, what? Why did Becky just get that intro and nobody else?

bork · « **Reply #4716 on:** April 08, 2018, 06:33:47 PM »

Did I see Layla in there?

Oh, now another intro for Bayley. Weird how they're doing this.

"Check out this movie about Paige that just shows the Rock!"

Everyone attacking and eliminating Carmella? Makes sense.

Doing the same to Dana Brooke? Uh...did I miss something?

Seth's catchphrase is burn it down, it's in his song, he comes out to flames...then comes out as a White Walker?

Miz looks like he stole Nakamura's gear

Balor isn't the demon at WM

Miz and Ali both must have been playing Mortal Kombat before the show.

I was wondering about Balor's entrance, too.
