10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE NXT TakeOver

10. Lost Classics

Genuinely lost, genuinely classics.

They're hard to come by in this era of content super-service and everything being available everywhere, but the Full Sail era of TakeOvers in particular left behind a legacy of contests that added WWE to conversations the Vince McMahon-led version of the brand had never been in.

Adrian Neville Vs Finn Bálor from TakeOver: Rival. Charlotte Vs Sasha Banks from TakeOver: R: Evolution. The Ascension Vs Kalisto & El Local from the original TakeOver. The Baron Corbin squashes as counted along by the Full Sail crowd in one of the closest ever comparisons to the magic Paul Heyman summoned with 911 during mid-1990s ECW's creative peak.

These are - unlike all the images and clips constantly re-shared on Twitter - matches and moments nobody talks about.

"The WWE roster in 2008 was STACKED", but so too was the first ever "NXT TakeOver" event, held in May 2014. "Randy Orton was a MENACE in 2009", but Tyler Breeze was a bigger one as the black-and-gold brand grew, working awesome and dramatic bouts with Sami Zayn and Hideo Itami either side of an electrifying TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way main event that also featured Zayn, Neville and Tyson Kidd. "SmackDown Live In 2016 Was FIRE" but NXT one year earlier was a raging inferno by comparison.
