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

[A11oftheLights]

Gargano comes off as really generic to me, i cant remember any kind of mic time for him and i've got no idea what his character is meant to be outside of "Johnny Wrestling"

Crews really needs to work on his mic skills, he just doesnt/didnt come across as believable when he gave that interview

 

[nightmare]

Then Finn is possibly going to have the advantage of Gallows and Anderson, won't he? Harder to overlook three guys than it is one.

I think Balor has a better chance of being a permanent "top guy". Wyatt/Owens level and he is definitely good enough. Sami is undoubtedly better and is more likely to be a World Champ. That is a little contradictory but I feel Balor will be booked better. Sami will just be better.

If Finn and his buddies are against Sami, it would stand to reason that Owens comes to save the day. Granted this would not be for a while, but getting the team back together would be a big moment. The two of them would have no issues taking out a 3 man heel team & the reunion pop would be big.

The intro to Corbin's entrance looked great this week.

IN-fuckin-deed sir

 

[justinsayne]

Corbin has improved by leaps & bounds, that match with Gargano was fantastic!

The Freddy Kruger sweaters on Blake & Murphy just looks stupid.

Battle of Baymella was pretty great too, all the post match craziness was equally as great if not greater.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Yea Corbin has improved but he's still not main roster ready.

 

[justinsayne]

Never said he was

 

[Coco]

I never had an issue with Corbin to begin with.

A shame working a series of squashes leads some to believe you have nothing to offer.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Corbin - as a babyface - had a really rather good match with Adrian Neville to end his undefeated streak.

My fellow Londoners and I were much more fascinated by him than we were Apollo Crews.

Here Sam...

Well, he's better than Yoshi Tatsu. Maybe best to try my wild "Don't put a microphone in the face of someone whose first language isn't English the first time they're on camera" hypothesis out though.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The more I watch Bayley, the more pages I see pulled from Bret Hart's playbook. Just me?

Not just you.

 

[Барбоса]

NXT champ Bayley has more than a hint of WWE champ John Cena about her too, except Bayley still manages to seem like an underdog even when she is winning all the time, which makes her like Bret.

 

[Coco]

My fellow Londoners and I were much more fascinated by him than we were Apollo Crews.

You and your fellow Londoners weren't alone on that count.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I remember seeing Bayley recreating the ending to Bret and Piper WrestleMania 8 match, and I also remember this:

I think she might have done the end to the Bulldog/SummerSlam match at one point, but now I might just be pitching my dreams as reality.

The contract of Moose expires in June.


IJS

Christ, Gargano desperately needs some lessons on how to be a good undersized underdog from Bryan. He also needs to grow a personality. Doesn't have to be good. Anything will do at this point.

Also, Asuka has such a weird charisma. She's got it in spades, but it's so hard to compare to anything I've seen before. Is it a Japanese thing?

Ohhhh you just wait til the next Japanese import gets here

 

[Uncle Sam]

How bizarre was that Alexa Bliss/Cameron match, eh? Alexa was getting kicked in, and by all accounts playing the plucky underdog, then decided nope, fuck it, and won. I wasn't sure if it was a face turn, a huge miscalculation (did they expect the crowd would favour a Total Diva over an NXT veteran?) or both.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I've received news that the ending of the first ever NXT title match - Seth Rollins vs. Jinder Mahal, battle of the future Hall of Famers - has been edited out on the new Best of NXT DVD.

I've received news that the ending of the first ever NXT title match - Seth Rollins vs. Jinder Mahal, battle of the future Hall of Famers - has been edited out on the new Best of NXT DVD.

Any reason why they edited it?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Seth was still using the curb stomp.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

That's a stupid fucking reason to edit something out.....

 

[Uncle Sam]

The ending of fucking WrestleMania was edited on the network so we got a nice crowd shot while Seth was hitting the curb stomp, though I think it's been changed back now.

This is why Sami Zayn's policy of never having fewer than four finishers is so sensible - it saves you having to do a shitty-looking pedigree.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Them banning a move because it looks like it would cause someone a head injury is.....


It's so many things.

 

[Coco]

I will treasure my copy of the Shield blu-ray.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

You know guys, come to think of it, pretty much everything you do looks like it might hurt someone!

From now on, we will have you play cards and drink tea in front of a live audience.
