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

[Uncle Sam]

Alex Riley is an absolute imbecile and a testament to the skills of The Miz but he's clearly been following the BullFit program to the letter.

Edit: The guy just buried the fuck out of himself.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I think that was the point though...

 

[Uncle Sam]

If anybody can explain the physics of the blue thunder bomb, I'm all ears.

Sami's selling makes Joe's offense look disgusting. I winced at his head hitting a turnbuckle!

 

[Барбоса]

Spoiler

Reports saying the Joe - Sami match is nearly an hour long.

Sam and myself will be leaning on each other to stand up, bleeding, like HBK Vs Triple H in the cell.

Spoiler

It does seem to be the only match listed for one of the weeks of the NXT tapings

Y'know which homegrown talent is standing out and looking like a million bucks as of late? Baron Corbin. His whole "Fuck the indies, i boxed and played football I'm better!" attitude is lovely. Plus the fact that he believes all indies are ROH is funny.

Y'know who ain't standing out much? Apollo Crews.

Corbin has been killin' it since Brooklyn. He's really underrated. Crews, meanwhile, can't seem to connect with the crowd. Flips and strength aren't enough to get you over with Full Sail.

Also, Samson is a goddamn black hole of charisma. Like, literally, what does he bring to the table? Making fat girls scream? Pff, Finn does that already. And better.

If anybody can explain the physics of the blue thunder bomb, I'm all ears.

It's a secret power that gingers have.

Crews just needs to turn heel, too many faces already doing a better job at being over.

Agreed. I've always thought the Rocky Maivia comparisons were unjustified. Until recently. I thought he shows some nice cockiness when he brought up challenging Finn again.

Spoiler

I had some hope that he may turn heel but it doesn't appear to be happening in this cycle.

I agree on Corbin though and his performance in London was excellent. Hopefully the result in the triple threat will allow him to keep developing. I have him pegged to be the one to take the belt from Finn. In the post-Mania Takeover hopefully.

Samson seems to have absolutely nothing interesting going for him. Dillinger deserves that spot right now ahead of him.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Crews is clearly immensely talented, but I feel he's almost in a Roman-esc position. Really good, but he has next to no natural personality it feels like other than 'I'm just glad to be here, oh BTW I'm super athletic too'.

The segment where basically bullied Breeze into a match showed a lot of promise as a more athletic and less goofy Bo Dallas. If he can do that he'll be golden.

Quick question, WHY THE FUCK IS ALEX RILEY STILL FUCKING EMPLOYED?!

I thought he was awesome. Loved his promo. But of course his mileage may vary.

Jason Jordan can suplex a baby into me anytime.

No homo.

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

Gotta say that I was digging Blake's man bun this week.

Also that match had a neat little injury ruse bit. Can't remember the last time I saw a WWE tag team employ that kind of villainy. Just thought the structure was a little different for a tag match, which was nice.

Kind of misplaced considering AJ is not in NXT, but it is a killer theme. CFO$ has had some great entrance songs the past few years.

He's no Jim Johnston

 

[Барбоса]

Now that I have got to hear it unencumbered by crowd noise and commentators, I retract my original verdict of 'crap.'

Instead, I find it fucking awful.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Ah, our resident history professor is not fond of the rap theme music Styles got.


I, for one, am just floored by this development

 

[Uncle Sam]

Barbosa strikes me as more of a Macklemore man.

 

[Барбоса]

Sure, I am not a massive rap fan but I also think it is a terrible wrestling entrance theme, especially for a small face.

A large heel I could understand.

Surprisingly, I could not name you one of his songs.

I find the entrance to be a tad disjontled.


Why does he walk onto the stage like he is Ezekial Jackson??

 

[Uncle Sam]

Macklemore's shit and largely only successful because of his skin colour, which he's begun recognising in his own songs. Here's one of his catchier jingles:

My original thought was that the theme suited Big Rick rather than AJ Styles, if you get that LU reference

You made me subject myself to 3 seconds of that.

I indeed do.


I just don't get why he walks out super fast like he didn't know it was time for him to go, and does so with his arms cocked out at a weird angle like that
