I found this NXT TAKEOVER New York to be billion years better than Phoenix in that it provided matches that showed that the competitors truly had desire to put everything on the line i.e. their body to prove they were superior and they did! THE NXT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH BETWEEN THE WAR RAIDERS AND ALEISTER BLACK/RICOCHET WAS AMAZING WAY TO BEGIN THE EVENT! AND ENDED WITH HANSON/ROWE DOING THEIR TAG FINISHER ON RICOCHET. WALTER DEFEATING LONG TIME NXT UK CHAMPION PETE DUNNE IN A HELLACIOUS FIGHT! JUST BRUTAL! Velveteen Dream surprising me with a huge upset over former UFC Matt Riddle for his NXT North American Title!! Dissatisfying that Shayna Baszler retained her NXT Woman's Title in the Fatal 4 way against Io Shirai, Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair- I loved that match great and fast action with each woman giving her all though Shayna winning felt undeserving and just like too much she has dominated NXT for far too long like Tomasso Ciampa! Speaking of the former NXT Champion his longtime friend/rival Johnny Gargano competed with Adam Cole in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the Championship that saw Johnny Wrestling Finally winning it. I was awe inspired by his performance, his win was long overdue and truly deserving for his quality of match showings of 2018 and previous. I believed at several points near the end of the fall that Adam Cole would win the title good thing he did not since Undisputed Era was assisting him. The Rightful Man which captivated me with giving this NXT Takeover New York event with a solid 10 no matter what little did not happen! Thanks for tuning in!!

Why is it TakeOver New York and not Brooklyn this year? Anyway, just a small complaint here.

Top to bottom this was an enjoyable card. I was really looking forward to the NXT UK Title match and it did not disappoint. I wish Dunne's reign lasted longer if he wasn't heading to the main roster, but what can you do?

I am not a big Gargano fan, but there's no denying the crowd loved his win.
