There’s no sense in a lengthy introduction to set this up. WrestleMania week is here! We’ve talked about the storylines and builds ad naseum. Now, it’s time to watch it unfold, starting with this Friday evening’s NXT TakeOver event, emanating from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Let’s run down the card! Read more.
A belated Happy New Year to the entire 1wrestling.com universe! Well, it’s that time of year once again where all eyes are focused on the “Road to WrestleMania.” We’ll have a lot of great stops along the way, beginning with Saturday night’s NXT Takeover: Phoenix, emanating from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona (Side Note: Where do they come up with some of the names for these venues?). It’s funny – at the end of every Takeover, we say the same thing: “I’d like to see them top that!” Yet, time after time, they deliver a card that has the potential to do just that. And the most amazing part is – there’s a ton of key NXT players that aren’t even on the show. They’ve found a winning formula with NXT – roster depth combined with one hour of television each week, limiting talent being overexposed. In any case, another great lineup slated for Saturday night. Let’s run down the card… Read more.

“THE PREDICTOR” PREDICTS: NXT TAKEOVER: WARGAMES
By Don “The Predictor” Murphy
It’s Survivor Series weekend – one of my favorite shows of the year. I have fond memories of the days when the show aired on Thanksgiving night and it was a big part of our family tradition. While those days are behind us, I’m feeling particularly nostalgic as NXT, in presenting tonight’s TakeOver special from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, is bringing back a classic match for those of us that remember it fondly. Though some modifications have been made, tonight’s WarGames match should live up to its legacy, while introducing younger fans to the match. In addition, we’ll see a new NXT Women’s Champion crowned, since Asuka vacated the title in moving to the main roster. And, let’s not overlook the NXT Championship match, as I’ve really enjoyed the rebuilding of Andrade Almas. So, overall, we’re in for a great night of action on the eve of the big show Sunday night. Let’s run down the card … Read more.
