Insane show. Matches were fairly good. But the atmosphere was unlike anything I have been to at a Wrestling or sporting event. Crowd was going nuts for the full 3 hours of stuff. Wrestling fans usually make me cringe, but this was real good fun.

Zyan came out for a match after the show to finish it all off.

So does this mean you make yourself cringe?

Or are you one of those prawn sandwich type of wrestling fans? 'Keep me away from those ghastly people what what what'

Oh and Chad Gable is going to be a superstar. He was probably the most popular of the night along with Sami Zyan. People love him and Jordan.

Yeah he did...he was properly playing up to the crowd by the end of the night.

He's really good. Good voice and entertainer.

[MrShawnMichaels]

Yeah shooting some matches before the Takeover like Brooklyn.

Dont know whats going to happen though. Because the show is advertised to start at 7.30. But the Takeover Special is live 8-10pm. So I guess the matches will be soon after doors open?

Unless they just breeze through the matches and the rest of the show is filler from the Takeover like how they did it in Brooklyn.

Similar card, changed up slightly

Did they give Greg Hamilton the ICW treatment of the "ONE FALL" shout after his introduction?

They're shooting matches for the following week's episode of NXT before the PPV kicks off. Zayne is scheduled to make his return and Jordan and Gable will be in action.

Really looking forward to it!

Are they shooting tapings in England? I didn't know that!

I know they have a lot of tapings planned in January

[MrShawnMichaels]

Might as well run through the Blackpool show too!

Enzo/Cass v Dash & Dawson - Entertaining opener - Enzo/Cass are over BIG TIME. Dash & Dawson won with a roll-up on Cass holding the trunks.

Alexa Bliss v Asuka - Asuka is a frightening woman - could feel her kicks from where I was sat! Asuka won with the Crossface Chickenwing.

Bull Dempsey v Tye Dillinger - The Perfect 10 gimmick is catching on! Standard comedy match, Dempsey won with the big splash.

Gable & Jordan v Blake & Murphy - Wow, Gable and Jordan are seriously impressive, both got huge futures ahead of them. They got the Yaya/Kolo song too - went on for about 10 minutes - funny stuff! Gable & Jordan won with their double team back suplex thing (?!)

William Regal came out for the biggest pop of the night - incredible stuff. Came out initially to his own music which transitioned into 'I do like to be beside the seaside' - thanked everyone for coming, told a few stories of his time fighting on Central Pier etc, he got a bit choked up at the crowd response. Like I said, a really special moment.

Nia Jax v Carmella - The crowd loved Carmella - she's absolutely stunning up close too. Nia Jax is a scary woman! Nia won with a leg drop.

Samoa Joe v Apollo Crews - You could tell there were a load of PCW fans in attendance as he Apollo kept getting 'Uhaa' chants. Both guys are seriously good though. Joe won with the Muscle Buster.

Bayley v Emma w/ Dana Brook - Good match, crowd loves Bayley. Bayley won with the Bayley to Belly.

Finn Balor v Baron Corbin v Sami Zayn - Crowd HATED Corbin! Balor came out to a huge pop, as did Zayn. Great match, lots of big spots and a few random comedy spots thrown in. Balor won with the Coup de Grace.

After the match Zayn gave a speech about how good the crowd had been etc, then they brought out Robbie Brookside which was a nice touch. He gave a little speech about how he and Regal used to wrestle in the same places and how proud he is to be part of NXT.

All in all and really good show, crowd played a massive part of it and I reckon they'll want to come here every year after that.

Excellent. Glad you had a good time mate.

Really no idea what to expect tomorrow. I assume some surprises will have been held back for it. But to be honest as long as it manages to keep up with the standard of the previous nights on the tour that's all I can hope.

Zayn's opponent hasn't been named I dont think, so I have no clue who that'll be against as all the people he has faced on the tour are all in matches.

They're shooting matches for the following week's episode of NXT before the PPV kicks off. Zayne is scheduled to make his return and Jordan and Gable will be in action.

Really looking forward to it!
