Show kicked ass. Tag match was fast paced and awesome. Aries match was ok but underwhelming. Nakamura/Zayn should be match of the year. The womens match was good but a little underwhelming as well, and was absolutely stunned when Balor retained in a good match. Plus Bobby Roode's appearance was the cherry on top. WM will likely not top it.

Bobby Rooo possibly signing to NXT? YES! Nakamura put on a match of the year candidate with Sami on his FUCKING DEBUT! Joe and Balor was awesome once again, Tag Titles was awesome, so was Asuka and Bayley. NXT put the bar high and Mania will need to step up there game

It was great. I didn't watch it fully cause I get a bit anxious and skip shit just to see who wins but Nakamura vs Zayn was goat. Hopefully I can watch Mania live so i don't have to miss anything.

So many things that they did right! I really feel that the amount of time between specials, like NXT London and NXT Dallas is perfect amount to build the heat needed for an amazing feud. And NXT just keeps bringing in Main Event caliber talent, and fill the entire roster with them. NXT in my opinion has had better shows and storylines over the last year. NXT Dallas put on the best show that WWE has had in years, I don't have a clue how Wrestlemania is going to top that.

Takeover Dallas has my vote for show of the year thus far. Top to bottom was a great show. Apperances by Bobby Roode and Ibushi stunned me. Revival and American Alpha showed everyone that the future of tag team wrestling is alive and well in the years to come. A Double making his debut was pretty awesome and getting out of the End of Days was a nice touch.

Sami Zayn and Nakamura. Holy shit. You wanna write a near near perfect match for today's pro wrestling, you watch that match. It pretty much had everything. Emotion, storytelling, mixed with just the right amount of spots in it made for an instant classic and very possible Match of the Year candidate.

Bayley and Askua was pretty much how you expected it to go, but I can't wait for the rematch since Bayley never technically tapped out, and that will be her reasoning for a rematch, hopefully at the next Takeover.

Finn and Joe lived up to the hype of their first match. Joe getting totally busted open in the first minute really added the intensity to the match, and you could see it from the way they looked like they were just beating the absolute crap out of each other.

WM is gonna be VERY hard-pressed to beat it tomorrow nigh, but if they can then kudos to them.

three words no wait 4 words no wait a few words

OH MY FUCKING GOD What a event i loved it

Wrestlemania's fucked

The tag match was great, outside of one spot that took Dash and Dawson out of their element for a second when the crowd started chanting Botchamania.  They played old time territory heels well here with the ring being cut in half, the ref distraction/eye rake spot,and the crawling under the ring to pull Jordan down off the apron.  Jordan and Gable killed with the Rock & Roll express psychology of Gable more or less carrying the match before hot tagging Jordan for the suplex laden finish.  It's good to see the NXT Tag Titles go to somebody that people care about for once also.  I love the Mechanics, but I understand they weren't everyone's cup of tea.  I felt like they hit their stride in this match, though.

Aries vs. Corbin wasn't so much a letdown as it was a lull.  The crowd wasn't into it, even when Aries hit a few pace picking up spots, and despite all of his effort, Austin just couldn't pull anything more than mediocre out of Baron.  Hopefully A Double gets a better showing soon, one with a, you know, finisher involved.

Nakamura v Zayn was MotN if not MotY.  I worry about Nakamura going forward on regular NXT shows though.  I don't know if they'll let him go whole hog like that often with the strong style.  I also worry about Itami becoming an afterthought due to Shinsuke's style, both in ring and out, overshadowing the guy whose innovated so many stolen moves that he's been relegated to doing a dropkick as a finish.  But yeah, loved Nakamura's theme, loved these two knocking the piss out of one another,and if this is Zayn's rumored final NXT bout, he went out the way he came in: with a classic.

Asuka vs Bayley was brilliant, also.  You had the spirit breaker vs the indomitable spirit, and the ending reflected that perfectly.  I thought my interest in the show would lull after the prior match, but these two brought me right back in, matching a classic puro bout with an American joshi classic.  I fear Nia Jax looming over the horizon for Asuka because it seems NXT is trying to evoke that joshi formula with the two, but hopefully Bayley gets a rematch before that happens because these two killed it.

Joe vs Finn was good.  I was fine with the first medic interference, but after awhile it cut the flow of the match off a bit.  Joe would be on the offensive, Joe would start bleeding again, and then Finn would stand around getting his wind back, only for Joe to come back in and take it to him as if time had stopped.  It was still a good match, don't get me wrong, and I get that cuts around the eye are huge threats in any contact sport, but WWE needs to realize that sometimes you have to just let it go, and if the options were letting it go and jeopardizing Joe's career, cutting the event short after two matches prior to this one blowing it out of the water, or standing around like a bunch of goofs with thumbs up their asses, I'd say go with calling the match.  I know it's not a popular opinion, but after Nakamura/Zayn and Bayley/Asuka, Joe vs Finn was going to be an afterthought on the card anyway, and people would have no reason to bitch after the show closed with two classic encounters that ultimately helped rebrand NXT.  The NXT title wasn't going to change hands, and it was the only belt that night that wasn't going to change hands, so why not just cut it short and have Joe come back next month with a reason to bitch?

Overall, a great night of wrestling that's going to be hard to top by anyone.

Awesome show. I hate to say this...but it may have been better than last year's Takeover BK. Not by much, but just a bit. Only  because they did so much with so little Friday night.

Takeover:Dallas AKA Takeover:Make everyone look strong

Needed more Finn Balor and AJ Styles
