Agreed, but going in, it was a must see, IMO. Nothing was going to be able to top Sasha/Bayley which was right before it.

KO vs Balor @ The Best of the Big East was a better match

Joe/Nakamura
Gargano & Ciampa/Revival
Bayley/Asuka II (which will probably be much better than the first)
Will all be great matches IMO
and I know @GotHolesInMySocks is ready for Ember Moon's debut

Thought I was gonna miss the live show tonight because I was scheduled to work. I hit overtime today so they sent me home at 5 and I get to watch TakeOver live!
Now that's a win
Now that's a win

Will watch takeover tonight live and try to catch UFC. Only interested in a few matches like everyone has said. Are all TNA guys heels? Be a cool Glorious faction of Beer Money, Joe and Aries in NXT.
What's on the menu for tonight? Wifey is making tacos for dinner. Wish I had some special brownies. Send some over Brother Case!

[h3]Fighting In The Crowd and Backstage Brawls[/h3][h3]New Moves & Animations[/h3]
- Crowd Fighting and the Backstage Areas are connected, so that means that you can seamlessly transition from the arena to backstage and viceversa.
- You can enter the crowd area at anytime by pressing L1 near the barricade, you do not need to first break the barricade with an OMG moment.
- You can walk to the stage, climb up the stage and dive off the stage.
- You can only go Backstage in 1 on 1 matches, and obviously only in matches where there is no DQ or Count Out.
- It's NOT possible to go Backstage or play Backstage Brawl matches using women wrestlers.
- The Backstage is made of: a long hallway running north / south, with rooms on the side: there is a Locker Room, the Authority office and the Gorilla Position.
- There also is the Interview Area in the back with Renee Young and a Superstar, and they run away as you get closer to them.
- For now there is no Parking Lot or cars, but they might be added next year.
- As an alternative to slamming an opponent into a location, you can also presso L1 to open doors and move from area to area.
- There are a few new Skills/Abilities pertaining to Backstage Brawls and several specific OMG Moments.
- If you're using Triple H in a Backstage Brawl, you will encounter someone else coming out of the Authority Office.
- A split screen feature has been implemented in 1 on 1 matches when players are far away from each other. It triggers not only in Backstage Areas but also in the Arena.
- Springboard Finishers / Signatures from the Apron Ring have been added to the game as a new Position.
- For example, AJ Styles has the Phenomenal Forearm as one of his two finishers
- AJ Styles' Signatures are the Calf Crusher and the Pele Kick, which has been re-animated as well.
- AJ Styles' Spiral Tap is also in the game as a Top Rope Move
- Another new move in the game is Seth Rollins' Superplex+Falcon Arrow Combo
- Brock Lesnar's F5 has been re-animated.
- There are tons of brand new awesome animations and moves for the Ladder Match all around, making the match type feel completely fresh and more realistic.
[h3]Ringside Finishers[/h3][h3]New Taunt System[/h3]
- Superstars now have two Ringside Signatures and Finishers, in order to give players alternative moves if their signature/finisher required to be in a specific position in the ring.
- For example, Nakamura has different variations of the Kinshasa, while Del Rio’s Corner Enziguri is replaced with a second Armbar.
Taunts have been revamped and they now have a bigger gameplay purpose. There are two types of Taunts:
[h3]Breakout Improvements[/h3]
- Crowd Taunt: if you execute a Taunt facing the direction of the Crowd, you get a Momentum Boost. You can now also taunt on the turnbuckle.
- Opponent Taunt: if you execute a Taunt looking towards your opponent, you get a temporary Damage Boost instead.
[h3]Roll Out in multi-man matches[/h3]
- Entrance Breakouts have been expanded also to Post-Match: You can now attack your opponent even after the match has ended, interrupting the victory celebration and delivering a post-match beatdown.
- If you attack a Champion during a breakout, the Championship Belt doesn’t disappear like in WWE 2K16, but you can now use it as an object to hit the opponent.
- While in WWE 2K16, Breakouts could only be triggered by the player, now also the A.I. will occasionally breakout and attack the player during his entrance.
- As we know, a new improvement in WWE 2K17 multi-man matches is the Roll-Out System.
- When a character is on the receiving end of a big move or takes a big bump, he will roll out of the ring to recover from the damage.
- The amount of time it takes for the character to recover depends on how much damaged he is and the level of his stamina bar.
- When in this position, the choice of when to get up is yours: you can either wait until you’re fully recovered, and that will give you a boost when you return to the ring; or you have the option to “break out” and get back in the action early, for example that might be your only choice to interrupt a pin attempt, but that will give you a “penalty” on your stamina/momentum, leaving you open to be attacked again.
[h3]Ladder Match Mini-game[/h3][h3]MyCareer[/h3]
- In order to grab the briefcase/championship and win the Ladder Match, there is a new Lock Pick minigame where you have to get the cursor inside a moving opening inside a circle. When you hit the spot you fill up the meter until you end up taking the briefcase down.
- The meter remains filled up regardless of who tries to complete the minigame, so for example you could let somebody else do all the “dirty work”, then knock him down the ladder at the last minute and steal the victory.
[h3]Roster Additions & Details[/h3]
- In WWE 2K17, you will be able to choose to start MyCareer Mode directly on the Main Roster, if you don't want to go through NXT first.
- As revealed before, there is a new Promo System: now what you say in interviews actually matters and alters how the story unfolds.
- You can be attacked during your promo / interview.
- There are new abilities related to the Promo feature:
- Brawl: "Attack the opponent during a promo and transition into Brawl".
Stare Down: "Temporarily reduce the amount of points the opponent can earn during the next node. This can be used one time per promo. The opponent’s score for the next node will be reduced to 85%".- What we can extrapolate from the above is that you’ll be able to have back-and-forth arguments with rival wrestlers, where some kind of scoring system defines who’s winning.
[h3]Other miscellaneaous information[/h3]
- Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have been officially confirmed for the WWE 2K17 Roster.
- During an interview, Bryce Yang has also confirmed the American Alpha for the game Roster (Chad Gable & Jason Jordan).
- The 4 Superstars available in the Gamescom Demo have the following Overalls: Seth Rollins - 93, Dean Ambrose - 90, AJ Styles - 89, Kevin Owens - 86.
- The Menu and interface is completely new and revamped compared to previous years.
- The Character Select Screen and Match-up Screens no longer feature real-life pictures, but now use the actual in-game character models of the Superstars. This will help Created Superstars in not feeling out of place compared to the in-game Roster.
- This also affects the in-match HUD for the better: the small image of the wrestler’s face has now been replaced with the figure which shows off limb, body and head damage - a longstanding element of the series, but one that only flashed up briefly in the latest games.
- There is now Commentary during Loading Match-up Screens, with the announcers discussing the upcoming match while it loads.
- OMG Moments are now performed with R1+triangle instead of just triangle, to avoid confusion with performing Finishers.
- The Referee has new animations, and when he gets knocked out he stays down longer compared to the past few editions of the game.
- A late PC version of the game has been confirmed.
More information on the WWE 2K17 game modes and Roster will be revealed in the next weeks, so stay tuned on SDH and keep an eye on our Twitter account for live updates!

My man Dfly. 2 days off foot surgery but no real pain yet. Been lucky the Mrs. has been taking care of me but don't like when I have to be dependent on people.
Was on the PA turnpike last week and saw they eliminated the tollbooths after the Deleware Valley Bridge. Made the ride a little faster.
2-0 Eagles so far. Now if Embiid can play this year, I'll be a little more interested in the Sixers.
What's good with you?

I know it is frowned on, but I do like that although they make Brock to be a total unapproachable human being, at least he was able to interact with Woods even over the Booty-Os.
