My impression of Vince during that women's segment: "These fans are actually having fun! Pull the plug on this nonsense! Go to commercial now, Kevin!"

If Corey Graves is moved up to RAW and the 205 Live permanently, I would love to see (and hear) Steve Corino on commentary for NXT. If he does sign for WWE of course...

NXT last night was amazing to the point where I had to watch it again this morning. I feel that way after almost every takeover show.
DIY vs The Revival was easily one of the best matches this year. I love both teams and I'm happy they got to showcase what they are all about last night and at the last takeover show. I think the Revival might be one of the best tag teams in the world right along side the young bucks. It sucks knowing that once they hit the main roster, WWE will probably bury them just to push a pointless team like Slater and Rhyno or the Hypebro's.
Nakamura vs Joe was awesome as expected. I did not see that finish coming but, I'm really happy they had Joe win. This is probably the best run of his career in my opinion. This just means they could do the trilogy if they want, or Nakamura can go up to the main roster. Either way I'd be happy to watch.
Random notes: TM61 really impressed me, I understand why the Authors of Pain went over but I don't think it was the right decision. You could have put TM61 over huge by letting them be the first guys to beat them. Asuka's heel tease was awesome, can't wait to see her as a full on heel.

Asuka's just incredible. As improved as the women's division is, nobody else is even close to her level. She's the only one who really holds the whole crowd in the palm of her hand. She can make them love her one minute and hate her the next, as the old saying goes. She's not just the best woman on the roster, she's in discussion for best all-around performer on the entire roster.

How come every time an NXT show gets rave reviews, Vince feels the need to punish those fans with incomprehensible, stupid booking the next night?

This is contender for one of the worst PPV's of the year alongside Wrestlemania and Summerslam, imo. Ironically, 3/4 of their "BIG 4".

3 years of Lesnar destroying everyone too then loose in less than than a minute to a guy who will most likley never wrestle again. Lol WWE.

I really liked the mens Raw vs Smackdown match. Surprised nobody here has anything to say about that.
I didn't mind the Brock vs Goldberg match. As a WWE viewer, I don't expect to see logical booking ever. So in that case, I just viewed this as a chance for Bill Goldberg the human not the wrestler to perform in front of his Son who's never been able to watch him do what he is famous for. Sure, maybe it shouldn't have been against Brock Lesnar but oh well.

This match saved the show for me, if it wasnt for this match being so good this would be one of the worst WWE ppvs in a long time. The problem is this match will be overshadowed by the Main Event when everyone looks back at this paperview, like the triple threat match at Rumble 2015.

I thought the show was nothing special, but not nearly as bad as some of you are making it out to be.
The tag team survivor match was actually my favorite. New Day getting eliminated so early was the rare "shocking twist" on a WWE show that actually worked. And you got to see American Alpha and Cesaro all being awesome in the same match. Can't see anything wrong with that.
The men's survivor match was just decent for me. Some great moments here and there, but it dragged on way too long. And Roman vs Wyatts was probably the worst possible end scenario they could've booked (for my own personal interest, at least).
As for the main event, I don't give a shit about either guy, so I was just glad they kept it short.

Meltzer is reporting that Goldberg has agreed to the Rumble and other appearances. I guess the opinion on him changed when he got over as well as he did.
Still, a major PPV main event should never go 1:25. I'm happy for Goldberg and his kid and all, and I was actually in the minority (I think) who wanted to see a Goldberg win, but a main event that short is unacceptable under any circumstances, in my opinion.
