NXT is the furthest thing from edgy. It's just old-school, simple booking, and the fact that it works as well as it does is a damning indictment of Vince's stuck-in-1997 main-roster storytelling.

I have only one thing to say about Takeover:

I think she's known to be rather a metalhead.

I think most metal musicians get it and are amused by it. The surprising thing is that anyone outside of Japan is interested, but again, it's an otaku thing, and otaku are everywhere.

I couldn't stand the Vice season, and season 6 wasn't much better. It's starting to feel like a show that's terrified of being the thing it was good at being, because that would suggest stagnation. And sure, I get that, but the writers just don't seem to be that good at doing the more serialized stuff they've been…

Kingsglaive is direct-to-video, so Warcraft's budget is likely orders of magnitude larger. It'd damn well better look better.

It's really more an otaku thing than a metal thing. Generally speaking, it's considered a bit of a joke in the metal world.

I prefer it to be this size. A top-ten will likely only cover the same garbage that everyone else covers.

This list having no metal is just totally preposterous.

Nobody thinks that. Vince has already proven beyond any doubt that he either has no idea how to book these guys or is purposely burying them to prove a point (see Breeze, Tyler).

Unless he's headed to WWE for more than the cruiserweight tournament, nothing about Ibushi's recent career decisions has made any sense to me.

He ain't making $125,000+ for one shot as a manager.

As someone on Twitter pointed out, the combined ages of Shane and Taker is nine years older than Hogan's and Piper's at "Age in the Cage" in 1997.

I think they've been waiting to turn Bálor until Itami is ready to come back—they were setting up the revelation that it was Bálor who jumped Itami in the parking lot—but since Itami keeps having setbacks in his rehab, they've run out of time for that. Something has to give in that match, and I'd imagine that it will…

Anyone but Tyler Breeze, apparently.

Totally agree. Austin from November '96 to the injury was just about the ideal combination of work and personality. He was never the same after the injury, but he did eventually become a very good worker in his more limited style.

Nah—he's a "player/coach" in NXT, so he still has value to the company.

He's in his 40's and has no need to put himself through the pain…

Correct. Zayn is already considered to be gone from NXT.

Rock is, but the insurance on the film he's doing says no wrestling. Hollywood learned its lesson with him after he got hurt at Wrestlemania 29, which resulted in delays on Hercules.
