Think this is the first Takeover in a while where I see a card and I'm looking forward to it all.

I’m away tomorrow night so won’t get seeing any of this. Will do my best to avoid spoilers until I can get to see it on Sunday. It’ll be a nice warm up to Mania hopefully.

That’s my plan. Going to start at 8 and right through to Mania until what 4.30am. Needless to say I’ll be posting here lots to pass the dull segments!

Posting on here from time to time as the show goes on makes it that much better. We usually get lots of non regulars on the forum for the night too. Which can be good or bad actually.

Is this a 1am start time? Trying to work out if a power nap might be needed beforehand

It is indeed 1am

Think the main event is gonna be something special tonight. The title match has 5 star potential also

PTH2009

Can't wait for the show tonight

Have to watch the last 2 hours of the HOF and then I'll tune in for the pre show at midnight

Can't wait to see Ricochet and the NA title match , the main event and the tag title match will be good too

Will there be any new big signings in the front row ???

Is Lashley on the way in?

Be interesting him in NXT for a short while before moving up

The events going on is one of the attractions for fans and helps them sell so many tickets for the mainia show, ROH does not take any money away from them as there are more than enough (ticket buyers) to go around.

Ali Bomaye

Very excited for this. I'm into everything on the card Gargano & Ciampa is such a great story I'm expecting this one to give me all the emotions.
Almas & Black could be great, especially if the crowd are hot for it.

I've watched five WrestleMania Weekend shows already and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Hopefully this show lives up to hype because it has the potential to be something special.

PTH2009

Enjoy everyone

Furious-Red

Even this intro would have you pumped even if you had no idea of the card

PTH2009

Vince must be getting a hard on looking at ec3 physique lol

johnnyryan89

Hoping for a dream win here.

PTH2009

Have a feeling there going too Ryback/Strowman Lars Sullivan when he goes to the main roster and have him squash robbers for months

WinnyThePoo

I"ve watched most of Lucha Underground. Richohet is outstanding talent. hopefully he doesn't get stuck in the cruiserweights.

He is seems very plain.

Just pictured him battering a load of repo men wannabes.

skipper_G

I haven't seen ricochet before, that shooting star press off the top was a nice introduction

PTH2009

Ricochet is amazing and could have a huge future in wwe

Cillian Dane could also get the Jobber duty on the main roster but he's an Irishman

J. Marston

Adam Cole BayBay!

Reganio 2

Thought the dream was gone there the refs seemed to be talking to everyone as if doing a different finish cause he was hurt or something. Good to see him back even if I don't watch nxt every week I like what I see from him

J. Marston

That was such a dangerous spot from Dream/Ricochet.

I think EC3 has been pretty crap in this. Not the best debut.

martyos121

4/10 not enough chain wrestling.

WinnyThePoo

You can hear Lars go 'oh ****' after that fall.

Clegg

Jesus Christ.

Those 6 lads have set the bar so high for the rest of the card to follow.

Furious-Red

Great start to the PPV imo , Agreed that EC3 seemed very lost in the match. Never seen Ricochet before but jaysus he is brilliant.

brianregan09

Looking forward to seeing female Lesnar here

Bret Hart

That certainly lived up to the immense hype. Incredible match.

skipper_G

The opener was great, I'm glad I had a nap to stay fresh for this. Ricochet worth it alone

PTH2009

Kudos has to go to Triple H for these awesome NXT moments

God knws where development could be if Triple H never took over. JR did a great job but some guys there now would not really be his type

WinnyThePoo

Interesting spot.

chatticusfinch

I'm still so hyped after that ladder match. Exceptional 5 star stuff

J. Marston

Baszler selling the arm was well done. Good match.

WinnyThePoo

Wow. Gonna be a mark for Bayzler. Shes going to go far as a serious heel.

brianregan09

Yeah she already made me a fan from there match on the last takeover

martyos121

Everything about that was great. Baszler’s gonna go far.

J. Marston

Not to be mean but Paige looks like a different person these days. Looked so rough in that movie preview clip.

Reganio 2

Jaysus paige looks 5am Saturday night hooker rough

PTH2009

Id say Ronda must have security around her to stop all the annoying fans going up trying to take selfies etc

Paige is not very trustworthy I'd say seems like she's a bit it c u next Tuesday. That actress's accent is terrible. Did paiges real life brother actually nearly make it in the wwe ??

2ndcoming

Paige looks like she is living for the Tony Montana

skipper_G

That double submission spot was deadly

johnnyryan89

Has War Machine made their debut yet, think AOP wins here and does the job for War Machine before moving up in the summer.

Edit: maybe not haha

PTH2009

Whaaaat
