7 Reasons WWE NXT Takeover II: Fatal 4-Way Was Worth $9.99

2. Mix Of Quality Wrestling, Comedy And Squashes

One thing that cannot be overlooked about NXT Takeover: Fatal 4-Way is how it had something for everyone, but not too much of any one element. Put on a two-hour show with five 20-minute matches and fans will get bored to tears. Throw up 10 two-minute squashes and people will lose their patience. Try to turn every segment into a sitcom and you€™ll have a full-scale riot on your hands. But Fatal 4-Way found a way to mix all three of these components nicely. Looking for quality wrestling? You had the three title matches providing solid to spectacular action that could be dropped onto almost any WWE PPV today and fare pretty well. Squash matches have their place in wrestling too. The problem is, sometimes this gets overdone, either having multiple guys running the same general gimmick, or the match itself drags out and the announcers go into overkill mode. With both Bull Dempsey and Baron Corbin, they won quick matches in convincing fashion, the announcers praised them and we got a couple quick replays before moving on. As for comedy, this is where WWE likes to think it produces Emmy award-winning material, while what they turn out would get cut from the last half-hour of Saturday Night Live. But NXT delivered one good comedy bit with Enzo Amore and Sylvester Lefort€™s hair versus hair match, keeping both the match and the payoff relatively short and inoffensive. They even managed to work in a nice callback to the Dudleys with Colin Cassady smacking Amore in the chest and yelling, €œEnzo! Get the bucket!€
