Best and Worst of NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia
You know, there are so many pay-per-views we keep going back to, on the WWE Network. Royal Rumble 1992, for instance, when Ric Flair overcame the odds and stood tall in a star-studded lineup. Or even WrestleMania 30, where Daniel Bryan realized his destiny. Who can forget WrestleMania 25 and 26, when The Undertaker and Michaels made history?
We believe NXT Takeover: Philadelphia will rank in that elite club, going forward. The last two matches in particular, will have people coming back to it, and become the blueprint for the younger generation. NXT is a special brand, and the matches did deliver this week, in a big way.
It's time for our 'Best and Worst' countdown, as always, folks. Let us know in the comments below what you thought of the show.
As we've done several times in the past, let's begin at the very end.
#1 Best: Best NXT match ever?
Before this match even took place, there were quite a few souls on the internet putting it down. They were not convinced that Gargano and Almas belonged in the main event picture. We're glad to report that these two men (and their ladies) proved their detractors wrong. Presenting a 'Match of the Year' candidate.
These two men had been in two classic matches in the past. They stepped up their game even more so this week, and had a clash that will be remembered in the NXT annals. The crowd cried themselves hoarse chanting- 'Fight Forever'.
It is clear that both Gargano and Almas are destined for greatness. Kudos are also due for Zelina Vega and Candice LeRae who played their part quite admirably.
It is an often used and abused chant, but 'this was awesome'!
