Takeover Brooklyn

Warning: Spoilers
These Gargano/Ciampa matches are highly overrated, but it is hard to deny that we are always talking about it after it happens. It is must-see TV, it is compelling. I am a little tired of it hogging the spotlight, but until the crowd stops loving it no reason to shake things up.
Adam Cole and Ricochet started off slow, but it ended as a great match. Hopefully the rematch is just as good.

NXT TakeOver Brooklyn IV: Weak for a Takeover
Platypuschow19 August 2018
I consider NXT Takeover events to be consistently better than their main roster counterparts and though I still think this will be I consider this the weakest one yet.
Let me clarify, the wrestling quality was top notch that cannot be disputed but curious booking is what damaged it.
It's not a case of "Who I wanted to win didn't so I'm angry" it's that there is logic behind booking and there seemed to be a lack of it in both the match creations and results.
For example after a spate of losses Dream needed a win but EC3 badly did as well so booking them against one another and having a decisive victor seemed baffling.
There are no spoilers here so I will not be breaking it down, I'll just say that again NXT Takeover knocked it out of the park with grade A in ring performances but in this guys view dropped the ball with the actual booking.
The Good:
High quality matches
Fantastic roster
The Bad:
Confusing counterproductive booking
Things I Learnt From This PPV:
For the first time in a longtime WWE has the chance of producing a better main roster ppv than an NXT one (Still won't, but they have a chance)
We can now play a game called "Count the weeks until Matt Riddles first suspension"
