I was unable to live tweet my thoughts on NXT Takeover Toronto as it took place. Instead, while watching I took notes of my thoughts and have posted on Twitter in a thread of tweets sponsored by WZ and WrestleRumble.com

WZ will have full coverage of tonight’s Survivor Series with live play by play, backstage news and reaction.

WrestleRumble.com allows you to predict winners regarding Survivor Series and other top WWE events such as NXT Takeover. The top prize for Survivor Series predictions is two tickets to Royal Rumble in a luxury suite with me and $500 cash. 2nd and 3rd place also gets cash prizes.

NXT Takeover Toronto reaction:

Starting a show as important as ending it. Good call on GLORIOUS opening that was PERFECT 10. #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom

Smart for ring announcer to not announce Roode from Canada since he is supposed to be heel in the match. #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

Paul Ellering, still, a simple & ominous but believable heel manager. #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

Great to see Gargano's better than most babyface selling on big stage for an awesome tag team match #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

What a moment and explosion by 12,000 for #DIY win! Talk about creating moments! #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

I like how every Takeover match gets a video package recapping the story. Makes story & match mean more #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

I dug the story told in the Asuka vs Mickie James match w/ the veteran role MJ played. Big Asuka fan! #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

Love Nakamura, but bad “violinist" did distract! Blonde one in ring looked she was ready to jump him #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

Joe winning doesn't mean Nakamura call up. Think he needed 2 win 2 keep feud going #NXT @WrestleRumble @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

I think NXT NEEDS both Joe & Nakamura. Nobody else for title picture at the moment just yet. Joe wins to keep it going between the two. https://t.co/MOsEup8ZvB — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016

That said, most didn't predict Joe, if you did=could be a big winner for @WrestleRumble cash! Play again for SS 2nite #NXT @WRESTLEZONEcom — Justin LaBar (@JustinLaBar) November 20, 2016
