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

[Uncle Sam]

You guys are ruining AJ Styles Week for me!

 

[Coco]

You end up catching the fan cam footage of his match against Roy Mastrio?

I might try again without sound.

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.

It's not a completely awful idea for them to try and work with the burial though. "I've been overlooked and now I give no fucks, time to squash everyone" is genuinely the best character development I could think of for him at this point.

Riley is a future TNA midcarder. That is as high as it gets for him. Dixie loves the WWE future endeavors club.

Nah, I could see Dixie making him World Champion.

NXT looks to be coming back to the UK this summer. Anyone wanna sign my petition to have a Takeover in Dublin?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Hahahaha.

No.

 

[Blade]

But... Share the wealth?

 

[a0161613]

Hells no. I'd be damn tempted to go to London for it. Though I am not sure they would try to repeat themselves.

 

[Blade]

Fuck all y'all. Cause the British haven't screwed over the Irish enough over the centuries.

 

[Uncle Sam]

What's a little more?

NXT Smarks > WWE Smarks by Mark Madden (link)

As ex-WCW performer Disco Inferno said via a multiple of tweets: “One of the biggest problems with WWE is that half the fans that attend the live shows, you would rather they not even show up. All they do is troll the show. Listening to what they cheer and boo for is idiotic. They’re your indie smart-mark crowd that congregates at the PPVs like a comic-book convention and once they’re all together, they try to sabotage whatever direction the company tries to take.”

Bingo. Exactly correct. They don’t enjoy. They hijack.

NXT fans are different. Maybe some of them are the same fans, but they show up at NXT with different attitudes.

His new column entry on the main page. Rare for me to agree with what Madden says but I really see his point this time (though I could do without his putting himself and his IQ over, even if it's tongue-in-cheek), there's clearly a big difference between NXT crowds and Raw crowds. I'm not sure if it's just "ooh we're alternative", people seem more unanimously behind the faces on NXT.

 

[Uncle Sam]

NXT turns the people who don't get over/do get booed into heels, and vice versa, which is a novel idea.

 

[Coco]

Mark Madden is a saint.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

First time I have bang-on 100% agreed with one of his columns.


People show up with a different attitude because the product is treated with respect by the company.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

Fuck all y'all. Cause the British haven't screwed over the Irish enough over the centuries.

NXT takeover Dublin. Easter sunday outside the GPO. Main event Finn Balor vs William Regal accompanied by a bunch of black and tans, book it now.

 

[Uncle Sam]

That's... dark.

The smarks would cheer Regal without a shred of irony.

Is she the first woman as well?

Yes.

That post in the actual thread you made with the gifs and theme embeds and highly specific formatting is the markiest post I've ever seen from you. 10/10.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I did a 10K on Sunday. I had Bayley's theme on my running playlist and when it came on, my vision looked like the Milennium Falcoln going into hyperdrive.

 

[Blade]

We did it!

Would've liked Finn on the shortlist, but yeah, Bayley's quite good, I suppose.

Edit: The Royal Rumble triple threat won out over the women's match at Brooklyn? Why do we even bother?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I figured we could all start posting our thoughts in the real threadski, that I started
