    I do think wearing a t shirt that says "UK Takeover Dublin" will look as well as an orange sash

    It would go well with the new Linfield jersey.

    i assume at the actual show they might have a few irish inspired designs with more green etc.
    prob doesn't bode well those shirts being on shopzone now in june.

    Ordered a hoddie off euroshop 2 weeks ago and still hasn't arrived

    I'll keep an eye closer to the event, they might have a few new designs up for it. Always cheaper to buy online than at the venue

    The shirts were probably ready to go for April, I imagine we’ll hear sooner rather than later

    that was my point that they are selling them off now instead of hanging onto them for October.

    But at same time you can always get the Wrestlemania shirts weeks before the show online.

    Was reading that yesterday but couldn't remember of sportskeeda was a reliable source.
    It is believable though. I can't see NXT UK being a big money maker

    I still have my ticket for Michael Jackson's This Is It in London's The 02. I didn't bother with a refund as I considered my ticket a piece of memorabilia for a much talked about show that never happened.

    When Takeover Dublin is cancelled, I might do the same with my ticket for that show too. Although, I will need to explain to my other half why I am amassing a collection of cancelled tickets for shows by sexual deviants.

    I just hope she doesn't find my Drawing with Rolf Harris Annuals which I keep in the attic.

    Pretty sure they don't ask for the ticket back so get your money AND have your memorabilia. Don't ever give Ticketbastard more than you have to!

    Im not going to pretend I know what contract WWE has with BT, but Im sure BT wouldnt care whats cancelled, once new content replaces it.

    Sure I doubt NXT UK is a ratings winner for BT. I could be wrong though.

    I'm glad that I didn't bother buying a ticket, there is not much star power on NXT UK brand.

    NXT UK always felt like a rushed job to counteract with WOS on ITV which never gained much attraction.

    I never bought my ticket for the star power. Being honest, I've never even watched an episode.

    I bought my ticket because...

    1. We've NEVER had a taped WWE show in Ireland, and it would have been a spectacle to see it. From a production standpoint, I wanted to see the stage setup, the camera crew and all that side of things.

    2. I think the crowd would have been electric, because (again) we've never had the taped show. Having been to the NXT house show a few years back, having been to the odd OTT show, I think there would have been a fantastic atmosphere there, regardless of a big star or not.

    It would have been great to see Finn vs Walter or Bate. I think that would have had the crowd absolutely bouncing.

    But I think there could have been two absolute no name jobbers, and the crowd would have been up for it.

    Slim chance but the ppv could happen at some point

    They could start back tv tapings before the end the year and then have a ppv Jan/feb 2021 ?

    I've said it all along since the days before Scrappermania was cancelled, neither that show nor Takeover will happen and I maintain that to be true, just swap Scrappermania for the 6th Anniversary show.
