I'm aware that I'm two days late on this, but I just cannot miss out on reviewing what I think is the best NXT TakeOver to this date.
My mind was blown,
tears were shed,
and my heart is in a fragile state.
Might break this into two parts (depending on if I exceed the 20 image limit), but we'll see. Alright, enough rambling. Let's get to it!
1) ERIC YOUNG VS RODERICK STRONG
I am so impressed by Roderick Strong. You might hate me for this, but I used to not like him solely because I felt like he looked too generic. Not saying you need tattoos, muscles, a beard, or whatever to not be generic, but I hadn't seen much of him in the ring.
The first time I ever really saw him in the ring was at TakeOver Orlando when he teamed up with Tye Dillinger, Ruby Riot, and Kassius Ohno.
I was very surprised by how good that much, but even so, Tye + Ruby stole that match for me.
Here however, Roderick Strong cemented a spot in my cold, dead heart. There is nothing generic about him in the ring, and dare I say he's ... "STRONG"
His hits and strikes are just, amazing.

Roderick's finisher (suplex release double knee back breaker) is a thing of beauty.

RANDOM SIDE NOTES:
↠ I think it was Nigel McGuinness that said "Roderick has a lot of heart" and I could't help but to agree.
↠ The crowd cheering "LETS GO RODDY" was really touching to hear.
↠ Eric Young is fucking amazing and so underrated. He seems so methodical in the ring, which I love. I still can't believe that he went from a comedic act in TNA to this menacing leader of a cult.
