Yes, I do know that Austin Theory was in the audience, and so were Tyler Bate and Walter. But usually, big TakeOver events are the site of us glimpsing at new signings and new arrivals. Such wasn't the case this time around at least.
Even when it comes to the entrances, it did feel like they weren't as grand and majestic as they usually are. Considering that this is SummerSlam weekend, I would have assumed that something more special would have been done from an 'entrances' perspective.
But then again, I did not have any major complaints per se about the production, and I just felt that the scale and the magnitude did not seem very grand. The overall package of extraordinary wrestling and exemplary commentary more than made up for all the deficiencies.
How do you think that the main roster will compare to this amazing showcase?
