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

[Blade]

Dublin's getting NXT. Finn is coming home. All is right with the universe. The NXT universe, if you will.

Now I just have to find a way to call Trips and ask him to make it a Takeover event. Anyone got his number, or...?

Well, the heat is one thing, but the fact that all of the roads are at least dual carriageways, and the main road to my work has like 8 lanes in each direction. Also, everyone drives like a fucking cunt.

I can confirm this. Lived there for three years as a kid, and my parents got hit at least once a year, even when the kids were in the car. One time, my dad flipped off a shitty driver who turned out to be an off-duty policeman. Good times.

It will be, they're not going to have Takeover Plymouth are they?

My worry is that they'll have Takeover in Florida either right before or right after the European tour. I mean, Dublin has a good 10,000ish seat arena, but I don't know if NXT could fill it.

That might well be it for his title run then. He's dropping it there.

WWE often has people lose at home.

The dirty janners have only got a tiddly arena. I'm so surprised they can even have a show there.

They're surely not that that brave or stupid

 

[Tastycles]

Isn't Dublin on a Monday? They aren't going to put Takeover against Raw.

I have seen conflicting reports on the dates.

Both Belfast and Dublin have been listed as Monday 13th June

Ticketmaster has Belfast on the Monday and Dublin on the Tuesday.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

It's on a Tuesday. Im definately going, ive been to Takeover Brooklyn and London plus ill be living in Dublin by then. Never thought id be to one WWE PPV/Major event in my lifetime never mind 3.
Dublin headlining a takeover in Dublin and winning with the 1916 would be all kinds of epic.

Vince does that, I don't know about Triple H.

Trips is brave. Don't think he's stupid. Especially with the amount of respect he has for Finn.

Just need a Brit to face him...

Oh for a modern day Lord Stephen Regal...

 

[Uncle Sam]

Zack Sabre Jr. NXT debut.

Could you imagine if Zack Sabre Jr.(who I expect to make a deep run in the Global Cruiserweight Series and shortly after to become a major NXT fixture) was already a signed member of the roster and could be built up on NXT television prior to this tour?

Finn versus ZSJ is the kind of match that could tear down any arena in the world, in a main event title match in Dublin, they may would just tear down the entire city.


Edit: Damn you Sam for beating me to it!

So Nakamura's theme took top spot on iTunes (well, specifically the soundtrack downloads). I'd say it's pretty impressive for a wrestler entrance theme of all things to achieve that up against mainstream music.

I think it's an alright song, loops quite quickly as is usual for NXT themes. The best part is probably that it's not just chugging guitar riffs, which wouldn't really fit Nakamura without some other elements like the flamboyant strings.

I swear the composers try harder for NXT themes than main roster

 

[Барбоса]

NXT Belfast, here I come

It will be interesting to see who will be there. Nakamura and Bayley are currently advertised.

Balor will surely be there too if he's going to be at Dublin the day after.
Theres seats really close to the ring for NXT dublin still available on ticketmaster. Have to wait for 3 people to make their mind up on if their going though

I could have had ringside seats but springing £108 for the privilege is mental.

Went for the cheapest option but only because I think I got the excellent "corner" seats I got the last time in the Odyssey. Plenty of room for our beverages, food and feet.

Now to decide which t-shirt I am going to buy.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

Jesus that is mental, floor seats in Dublin are 68 euros so not too shabby at all.
Nakamura, Balor and bayley. All i need now is American Alpha, Austin Aries and Asuka and im set.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm going to lie in wait and see if any of the dates will become Takeovers, or at least tapings, before deciding if I want a ticket or not.

If I didn't already have a signature...

NXT
Date: April 6, 2016
Location: Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, Dallas, Texas
Commentators: Corey Graves, Tom Phillips

This is the first of a series of special shows from Wrestlemania weekend with most of the matches taped from Axxess weekend. It should be interesting to see how things go with a very different style audience. Also it’s not clear whether or not we’ll get much advancement in the major angles as everything needs to reset after Takeover: Dallas. Let’s get to it.

A Rare Disappointment

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

Wow, some people really do take the whole thing too far don't they? I say that as a fairly "tumblrite" person myself. The idea that painting your face to look like Symbiote Spider-man is somehow racist, is just frigging ridiculous. It's so far beyond the realm of reason that I could believe they're actually deep cover trolls attempting to parody socjus.

 

[Blade]

At this point, I'm pretty sure Finn's entire gimmick is just acting like other wrestlers.
