NXT UK Takeover: Dublin - Show finally cancelled

Lord TSC · 17-02-2020 8:53am #1

I don’t even watch NXT UK and am buzzing. A bloody Takeover in Dublin!

Figure this will need its own thread long term. So Let’s Go!

Agent Coulson · 17-02-2020 9:16am

I was excited last night when I saw Takeover Dublin till I later saw it was NXT UK.

Not so excited anymore.

B.A._Baracus · 17-02-2020 9:41am

Interesting. Might just have to go and see this.

NXT UK is well worth a watch if you dont, some quality talent in there
and a Takeover of any kind coming here is huge!

Devlin may headline?

Although Walter title match would be incredible

The UK Takeovers are pretty great, I've been to Cardiff live and really enjoyed it. Can't wait to go to this.

However do not bother with the TV tapings that usually go along with it, made that mistake in Cardiff and spent nearly 5 hours there watching matches with people I'd never heard of.

sky88 · 17-02-2020 10:33am

dont watch the weekly show but takeovers uk have delivered

and i think we get a few regular NXTers with it being in in 3 arena

PTH2009 · 17-02-2020 1:52pm

No presale options yet on 3plus

This is prob the closet we will ever get to a PPV

Parents will bring kids along cause its WWE, some die hards like myself and some her will go and then possibly we will have the bandwagoners as it will be advertised a lot

They might add a DX appearance (as Triple H and HBK are producers) or an angry Finn Balor

DrumSteve · 17-02-2020 1:54pm

Wonder will any of the OTT regulars be on this?

NXT UK Takeover Dublin? But Dublin isn't in the UK...
The Sinn Fein voters won't be happy about this.

Blue_Dabadee · 17-02-2020 2:39pm

Looking forward to this since it won't be like a regular WWE house show that we normally get where every match is phoned in.

Biggest WWE show to come here in I dont know how long
with the 3arena set up they should be able to bring decent production levels too

There is a LOT of people angry about a UK Takeover being done in Dublin, its pretty funny to watch.

rianmcn · 17-02-2020 4:22pm

Surely Finn will be on the card? Imagine if they could get Becky onto it somehow.

bot43 · 17-02-2020 4:44pm

Fúck Fúcking sake.

Not only is April 26th my wifes birthday, but she is also due a few days after that so there is not even a slight chance I can go to this. Genuinley pissed off.

PTH2009 · 17-02-2020 5:01pm

Is it officially announced by Ticketmaster/promoters here yet ??. Aiken more than likely in charge

Hopefully tickets on sale next week

Nothing as of yet, I imagine we should hear this week

Is this the first full show we've had in Ireland? i mean non house, network/Tv show?

It will be the first televised WWF/WWE event ever from Ireland.

Bar a few clips that show up in Documentaries

One being a 2015 documentary on Finn Balor and the Rollins injury was shown on another one

This is a big deal for Irish wrestling fans imo and shows how much respect the wrestling has for us

sirmanga · 17-02-2020 6:25pm

This is the biggest show in this country since the RDS show in the summer of 2005.

Still sore about that ha

Remember I won a pair of tickets to this but found out to late and a 15 year old me wasant up to trailing around Dublin to pick them up as It was too late to deliver them. Ah well seen a lot of shows since then all great

Hotel prices have gone up a bit for the 26th April. I have a room booked in the Mayson hotel for €125.10 for the night. Location cant get any better

Lord TSC · 17-02-2020 9:07pm

What do y’all think they do in terms of layout for the show? Just use the usual house show set, or something fancier? Presumably they will have to put more room round the ring for commentary tables and the likes.

Could've gotten a room for a night in the Abbey Court on Bachelor's Walk for around €25.

I like having a bar in the hotel ha

Be interesting what layout they will use but NXT UK shows normally have that indie/house show style setups. Probably the sections in front of Block C/D/E will be pushed up to make room for the commentary booths etc

CastorTroy · 17-02-2020 9:49pm

I know it's the brand and all but I would be surprised if none of the Irish guys don't point it out to them. Maybe have "Ireland" stamped over "UK". Sure they even have Killian Dain in NXT with a backstory of growing up in the troubles.

I won't be going but good to see a PPV coming here. HHH mentioned on the post show Dublin fans are loud.

PTH2009 · 18-02-2020 12:59am

Jordon Devlin, Tucker, Moustache Mountain among others have had matches at wwe live events here in recent times with average enough crowd interest. Possible they weren't known too well by the crowd and the matches were at a different tempo to the main roster ones

This could be different as they would be known by a lot and the show would be at a similar tempo.

There will be those ignorant people there who will be wondering when Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Becky, John cena etc be coming out. Parents bringing kids need to be aware of this

PTH2009 · 18-02-2020 4:38pm

Taking there time announcing it

I wonder are they trying to organise TV tapings for the Monday 27th April ???

Next tapings are in Coventry I think the 1st weekend in march ?

sky88 · 18-02-2020 4:50pm

to set up a match at takeover perhaps

It's been fully announced anyway by WWE.

Could be waiting for NXTuk on thursday/Aiken to go with it this weekend

by the above seems were definitely getting Finn

Maybe. Finn recurring 2 guys to go up against Imperium ??

What is the format of NXT uk ???. They tape over 2 days each month and make the weekly shows from them with the Takeovers every few months?

Lord TSC · 18-02-2020 6:15pm

Finn vs Walter, or Finn vs Devlin again?

EDIT: Apparently a Finn vs Bate match was teased on Worlds Collide.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Vd8Rcv5kc

PTH2009 · 18-02-2020 6:49pm

Finn vs bate could be epic

Are these Coventry tapings the last before Takeover Dublin ??.

I see there in Bournemouth the week after Dublin

Yup they tape for a few hours and then that’s the Tv shows in lead up to a takeover

I'd say that can get confusing if ur in the crowd for it

Looking like it's just Takeover in Dublin and not the TV tapings too (probably get 1/2 dark matches before the start and that along with takeover recap will be the episode the week after)

CastorTroy · 18-02-2020 9:46pm

With Devlin and Balor likely taking part, I'd say we could see Sheamus and/or Becky. Not a scheduled fight but just someone coming to the ring running their mouth or issuing an open challenge.
It's a Sunday so Becky will likely be scheduled for Raw the next night, but sure she could get back in time, I'm sure. I seriously doubt she would want to miss out. And by then she could be Becky No-belts and might be staring down the UK champ

Dont get your hopes up to much regarding main roster appearances. Its is a minor PPV and I'm sure Becky is busy with main roster duties, same with Sheamus

It's not impossible that they could make an appearance and jet back straight after the show with Trips buts its doubtful

Eitherway it should be a great night and hopefully the start of a yearly tradition

HanFiredFirst · 19-02-2020 1:49am

The Cultaholic guys on their Youtube channel said they want to come over and going drinking with Jay. I would go up to it if I new Trev was going to be live tweeting from it and finally get a chance to meet the IWC Community Leader in person. That would be way better than the show itself.

Possibly still on the WWE mainline demanding his Meltzer type VIP tickets.

Pretty unusual maybe it's a paperwork issue or something like that

Its deff going ahead if WWE announced it

PTH2009 · 20-02-2020 4:21pm

Tweeted the 3arena to see what the storie is for this

Not expecting a reply or if I even done it right ha (dont knw 100% how to use Twitter)

PTH2009 · 23-02-2020 11:11pm

I've heard rumours that Aiken are waiting it out to see if Sinn Fein get into power, as there may be some issue with promoting an event with "UK Takeover" in the title, especially on the weekend of the 1916 Rising anniversary.

The way promotions are here I would not be surprised if that's half true ha

It's an odd one why wwe announced it but its yet to be recognised through channels here like TM, 3Arena etc

if (big if atm) there is a 3 arena presale and anyone needs the code they are welcome to mine
