The NXT Thread Is Like Ring of Honor's Bay-Bay!

[Blade]

I literally have no idea what to think of the Kana segment. I think that might be the first debut in history where the debuting star got interrupted but did nothing about it. It felt weird.

But the Finn vs Joe program is shaping up nicely. The look that Finn gave Joe when Joe touched the title was a really nice touch. I love subtle shit.

If you love subtle shit you should have loved that sly, "I'm gonna kick your ass" smile Asuka had on her face while walking backstage. She will beat the shit out of Dana/Emma soon enough.

Back to Eva Marie for a second, I honestly don't see what the wwe see in her. Compare her to Nikki Bella, Maryse or Kelly Kelly and she is not even close. These girls are absolute stunners, Eva marie is not. I don't need the women wrestling to be attractive but if the wwe is so obsessed with this idea that they need to be sex symbols why would you push Eva Marie when they could actually go and get an absolute stunner or push Carmella or Alexa Bliss who are both more attractive. Hell, even Emma is more attractive than Eva Marie. The only thing she has going for her is red hair that makes her stand out.

tl;dr: Eva Marie is not attractive compared to the model divas, past or present, and they have more attractive women in developmental

Does that class as subtle though?

Really disappointed that there wasnt ironic cheers when Eva Marie kicked out against Carmella. Full Sail needs to learn the "You're shit and you know you are!" chant

"All Botch everything" wasnt enough ??

It was a bit too subtle, and I dont think the crowd got it.


That said, I like the direction of the segment, even if I felt the execution was a bit off.


Also, I thought she spoke Fluent english? What the motherfuck was THAT?

If she has that heavy accent its fine, I just was expecting a more serious character, and the segment prior to Dana and Emma coming out was very cartoonish.




The Balor - Joe thing was damn fine, if not a bit ham-fisted

I honestly wouldnt be suprised if she didnt even know what that meant

This. 100x.

Only reason Eva is being pushed is at this point WWE brass has talked her up so much and given her a spot on their Divas show that they would rather keep it going than admit they are wrong. I am surprised that Paige even got on that show because it is clearly a main roster thing & Dunn\Vince are not sold on the NXT women. Which is a shame because Paige, Alexa and the 4 Horsewomen are leaps and bounds ahead of everyone except Nattie.

The Eva project will fail in NXT & they will turn her into Batista red edition trying to save face by embracing the hate, then move her far away from Full Sail hoping that will help. It wont.

Killjoy, rumors abound that your boy may be close with getting a full time gig with NXT.


Im pumped. More creativity and skill is always welcome.

I know that's what they were going for, but it was such a weird smile, and such an awkward camera angle that it just didn't work for me.

Yaz is working in NXT now?

Im pumped. More creativity and skill is always welcome.

Nevermind, you're clearly not talking about Yaz...

NXT
Date: September 30, 2015
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Rich Brennan, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton

This is the go home show for next week’s Takeover: Respect show and the main story tonight is finding out the final four in the Dusty Classic. The semifinals and finals are next week, meaning most of the card is already set. I’m sure we’ll also get the hard sell for Bayley vs. Sasha II. Let’s get to it.

Go Home If You Will

This takeover just feels very underwhelming and unnecessary

 

[Blade]

So maybe it's just me, but I find Ciampa about as likable and charismatic as a dirty sock. But people feel compelled to cheer because he came from the indies.

Everything works a lot better when he's his character. He's mentally unstable, playing off his fairly well-known real battles with depression. When he's just a guy, he doesn't work as well

This pretty much, without his Sicilian Psychopath gimmick he's just another guy, & it's pretty damn underwhelming.

 

[A11oftheLights]

I find Gargano worse he seems bland and at times he looks like he's going in slow motion

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm legitimately heartbroken at the result of that opening tag match.

Still, Big Cass is going to murder someone with that big boot some day.

It's a pity William Regal isn't on commentary anymore:

"What's the name of this new Japanese wrestler?"
"Asuka."
"Alright, I will ask her."

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Gargano's character is that he's just a guy.

Ciampa in ROH went back and forth between being very good and meh. Inevitably I'm surprised hes wound up in NXT because he's not very consistent but at the same time, he's part of Triple H's project to bring in names internet fans will recognize to bolster shows.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm yet to watch a Ciampa match I didn't like. Yeah, OK, I've seen three.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I was shocked to learn that the special is this Wednesday. Once a month is really often, huh? Is the UK Takeover, like, next week? I'm going to have to check my ticket.

In the meantime, WWE.com has a fresh list of top ten NXT matches, the big news being that The Boss versus Bayley has usurped Neville versus Zayn and is now number one, which is fair enough:

[Blade]

Yeah, Takeover Respect kinda came out of nowhere. But it's basically a season finale, so it's fine. Next week, there'll be a shit ton of new feuds starting.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The new 24/7, concerning the Brooklyn Takeover, is meant to be great. I haven't seen it yet but this is apparently Seth Rollin's reaction to the Boss/Bayley match:

Weirdly enough, the same as mine.

 

[X]

I get a little giddy inside each time I watch Samoa Joe wrestling inside of a WWE ring, even if he is just doing nothing in NXT. Bring him up to the main roster already, we need someone else to get lost in the midcard there.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The documentary is indeed the dog's bollocks. Watch it.

Just watching the 24/7 gave me chills again and a few tears
