We need a Jesse Ventura on the mic raging about Jordan just forcing his way in illegally there.

Dueling Germans were great though.

These tag teams look super generic.

That tag stoppage was pretty brilliant. Shame about the big botch that followed.

Who's on play-by-play? He's blown two AA near-fall calls now.

Corey Graves with the Owen Hart shoutout. Those will never not make me happy.

Really good match.

bad camera angle at the end, given there was almost a breakup from the other side, but that was pretty damn enjoyable

Whether or not they look generic, that was better than any main roster tag match in recent memory.

Have NXT crowds in general gotten better? This crowd seems good, hot for the action but not obnoxious.

Takeover crowds are really good. NXT at full sail is still frustrating.

Aries is a veteran, 37 years old, former champ in both TNA and ROH.

Corbin is pretty new, a former football player (for the Cardinals!) who has apparently made huge improvements in the last year.
