This week, The Doc offers another instant reaction, this time to the 25th NXT Takeover special. Did WWE’s black and yellow brand deliver?

Typically, he is more inclined to digest, rewatch, and then offer his opinions after careful analysis, but the pure joy he experienced last weekend through watching and reacting to AEW Double or Nothing found him hungry to engage you, ladies and gentlemen, with his knee-jerk response again.

Takeover is a young franchise, but it has developed an incredibly rich tradition. NXT regularly puts forth efforts that jump directly into the conversation for best in franchise history, but on paper Takeover 25 seemed the sort that would have to vastly outkick its coverage to emerge that kind of all-time-level candidate. The foundation was strong with a rematch of arguably the greatest in NXT history – Cole vs. Gargano – but a combination of returning talents (Tyler Breeze) and stars getting spotlights unique to their yellow brand tenures to date made this particular Takeover unique.

So, as has become his modus operandi with this podcast ahead of NXT special events, The Doc went into Takeover 25 asking a simple question: can this one live up to the standard set by its predecessors? He answers that question and reviews the show!

4 Corners Podcast: Bettor Late Than Never?

Dave, Patrick, and Tunney break down the NHL and NBA Playoffs and a pretty stunning decision from the MLB Commissioner’s office.

PC Tunney

This week, Patrick & Dave are joined by PC Tunney to continue to cover the ongoing drama that is the NBA and NHL Playoffs. In the NBA Playoffs, the New York Knicks closed the book on a surprising shellacking of the defending champion Boston Celtics. They meet the Indian Pacers in the ECF, in a resumption of a bitter rivalry, with the highest stakes possible. Out West, the Minnesota Timberwolves waited to see who would emerge from the Denver vs OKC series. In the NHL Playoffs, the guys discuss the Carolina Hurricanes’ dominant thrashing of Dave’s Capitals, while the city of Toronto braced itself for more disappointment. Meanwhile, Edmonton vs Dallas, in the WCF, looks to be an actual battle for the ages, on paper anyway. The guys conclude by talking about how Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose have been deemed eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. The timing of these decisions is a bit head-scratching, but the guys break it all down for you here. So TUNE IN!

This week’s hosts… Patrick O’Dowd (@WrestlngRealist), Dave Ungar (@attitudeagg), and PC Tunney (@pctunney)
