To be fair Kb, NXT just had the same kind of streaming problems ROH is notorious for. So maybe they're more similar than you think.

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House

"My streams can be just as lousy as yours!"
Also my stream went out for about 3 minutes in two hours. I saw the entire main event just fine.

Fuck erbody but me
Watched it this morning. It's pretty sweet that this thing kind of works like a DVR.
Sami/Cesaro was off the fucking hook. Still despise women's wrestling, but I definitely appreciate what Paige and Emma were doing. It's amazing what effort can do for a match. The Ascension does nothing for me. The main event was kind of boring.

Paige and Emma's first match was better, I think, but that submission at the end was nuts.
And that was the worst way for them to have used the Ascension. They are much better for squash matches.

Scott Taylor is roided the fuck up.
I chose sleep. From the first few minutes, it seems I chose... poorly. I'll write this as I go along.
Edit: The Hug. The Hug. :'(
A star is born.
- From "Are you ready?" to the new opening: my erection has goosebumps.
- Sami Zayn has new tights. Good thing I'm sitting down - I just swooned. Flags! Flags everywhere.
- They put this on first? I'm all for skipping the foreplay but an hour and a half of cuddling doesn't sound too appealing.
- That sequence, from Cesaro catching Zayn to the suicide plancha, was just-- oof. Oof.
- WHATTABACKBREAKAH!
- Sami's going for the turnbuckle DDT and-- and-- oh my God, Cesaro just killed him with that uppercut.
- With offense like that - Cesaro catching Zayn in midair and slamming him on the ramp - how is Cesaro not a natural babyface?
- Blue thunderbomb? Good, I always wanted to know what that thing was called.
- Stretch wha--? That's a Brock Lock, Cesaro.
- Whoa - Zayn sells that swing better than anyone. Any-fucking-one.
- Had to stop typing, too absorbed.
- That match was amazing, particularly that final uppercut, but my ultimate feeling is... SAMI NOOOOO
Is he dead? - How does anything else on this show follow that? Seriously, I'd just do a CM Punk if I was expected to come out later on.

After a second viewing I have to say that if you know anyone who dislikes WWE programming, make them watch Arrival & see if they still feel the same. I made my friend watch this one & he was acting like a kid- jumping up and down and cheering.
Cesaro needs to be the next contender for the title. Fuck Orton & Batista. I do want to see Bryan with the strap, but ill be damned if Cesaro kicking the shit out of Batista would not be epic. Let Lesnar come after the belt then & see what happens to him. Swiss Death is what would happen.
How can you not love Sami Zayn? The man is damn charismatic. I just added one more to the fan club.
CJ Parker kills crowds. Sucks the fun right out of the show. Could they have not had someone else face Mojo to make it a better match?
Tyler Breeze is so awesome he does not even need to wrestle for people to like him.
Rusev & Lana are going to be great on the main roster. The man is just a beast and very very agile. Fear him.
If you dont like Emma & Page after that video package and match- then you never will because you just dont get it. I have decided that a Scorpion Cross Lock\Dropkick combo may be the coolest idea for a tag finisher ever. The submission would be brutal enough but damn, the dropkick would end it all. Someone should get on that.
New Ascension music is cool, but I am going to miss the other entrance. Still a great team that will dominate for a while to come.
Fire whoever thought Too Cool was a good idea for this show. Very easily could have used 2 NXT guys, because this night was about them. Too Cool was not cool.
The ladder match was good, but not great. Neville winning was cool for him, but Bo is so much better as champ than he will be. Bo-lieve it. His promos are just gold. He is way better now than I thought he would be 2 years ago.

The whole production was great. I enjoyed that show a lot, specially the advertised matches. At this point I see no reason for The Ascension to stay on NXT, they don't even have opponents. Rusev looked great and I can see his role on TV being something like a Kane/Umaga. Rowley annoys me with his Ultimate Warrior kind of excitement and a voice that looks like Cena's, I don't know, this happens I guess.
Zayn v. Cesaro was a yet another classic match for this two. No idea where Zayn goes next, or at least until WrestleMania. Paige & Emma was great. Paige is right next to AJ Lee the best female performer in the WWE. Very excited for their future. As soon as Emma starts to wrestle on the main roster, she'll get over no doubt. As for the main event, I was disappointed. Neville doesn't scream champion to me, I don't know. His looks and his promos look bad - it's gonna be him and Corey Graves for the title I'm pretty sure.
However the crowd reaction, the big event feel... it was a great show. WWE's video package are as always fan-fucking-tastic and I've tried somethings with video editing so believe me, it's freaking hard.

Zayn/Cesaro was an overall masterclass, Regal's beautiful commentary sold everything that much better. Man these are two guys who were destined for success and Zayn is the single most likable guy on the roster.
On the subject of people who are likable and charismatic on top of being a ring general, Mojo Rawley is none of these things.
CJ Parker's absolute failure makes me smile. His gimmick is so cringe worthy his finisher is a fucking facepalm.
I liked Too Cool but I didn't like the absolute glorified squash deal they had in that match. Did Scotty stop the performance centre burning down or something?
Great, great divas match. Even better video packages.
Actually every video package was great.
What was that side slam Rusev did? That was amazing - about as amazing as the two high kicks he also did. I didn't see much of a point in Lana up until now as she adds so much to the gimmick.
Ladder match was no classic but it was good fun and a great method to close this show. What's going to be down with future challengers and Neville remains to be seen though, Rusev probably won't win the title anytime soon so the only ideal winner will be Tyler Breeze after that amazing interaction between him and Neville weeks back.
They have to debut post mania. With the Real Americans, Shield & PTP all splitting up the Ascension could be THE heel tag team once the NAO fuck off and die.
Ascension should just relinquish the titles due to the lack of challengers once their main roster debut comes about. Love, love, LOVE the new theme however Konnor's lack of that furry coat makes me sad. Always look forward to them killing people dead.

Shame they couldnt work Corey Graves into the show. A draw to be sure, AMIRITE coco
I don't get it, what was so remarkable about it?
Nice for Rusev - and his theme - to get trotted out.

Sexy, Sexy money. Despite looking vaugley like a raptor
Unique move that looks sick. Far better than her Page Turner which should just be used to set up the Scorpion Cross Lock from now on.
Page and Emma was better than any Divas main roster match they have had in a long time. C'mon. The powerbomb spot was good for a Divas match & even got a 'Better than Batista' chant. I chuckled.
I know what you mean. They could put Cesaro vs Zayn on every card & it would be hard to top the rest of the night.
Maybe they should. If that happens then the rest of the roster will have to attempt to top it & we may end up with a better show overall. Make the roster hop over the bar once in a while instead of coasting. If they cant get with the program, cut their ass & give their spot to someone who can. NXT sure does have enough entertaining guys who want a main roster spot. So the older guys better step it up or lose their seat.

Wade Barrett should have been a World Champion by now. It's an outrage. The guy is the total package - push him after Mania. I'm all for Daniel Bryan v. Wade Barrett for the strap at Money In The Bank.
