Best and Worst of NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia

#2 Worst: No Nigel McGuinness

Something was lacking without McGuinness on commentary

Mauro Ranallo may be the best play-by-play announcer in all of wrestling today. However, without Nigel McGuinness on colour, he does not sound nearly as effective. Percy Watson tried his best, but even he has his limitations. It did not help that Ranallo muddled up a few names (Adam Black) on commentary.

What an incredible show tonight. Speechless. Kudos to everyone involved. Hope i never miss another. #TakeOverPhiladelphia

We wish McGuinness a very speedy recovery from whatever's ailing him. He was definitely missed at TakeOver. Much like he does, we too hope he never misses another edition.
