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

[Uncle Sam]

We were all so wowed by that No Way Jose promo that we forgot Kota Ibushi was on NXT, huh?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So besides a few cruiserweight guys, who is left with a real shot at coming to NXT?

You mean prospect wise?

But Sam, the character is SO FUN! Its shit but man its FUN!

Not counting homegrown PC talent, more along the lines of from other companies. I would steal Dalton Castle and something about seeing The Addiction fight The Revival makes me warm inside.

FFS, when Finn takes his throne from AJ, if Daniels/Kazarian were around that would be a killer 6 man fight.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Gotcha.

Adam Cole, Brian Cage, Pentagon, Richochet, Will Ospreay, Bodyguy Johnson, Okada, Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, ReDragon, Young Bucks, Jimmy Havoc......just a few off the top of my head.

And they have barely scratched the surface of all the female talent out and about.

 

[Uncle Sam]

They really ought to start scratching that surface. Like, now.

 

[nightmare]

Some of those good, others I dont see working. No way the rest of the crop gets raided that bad. Promotions are going to start throwing bigger offers at some to stay put. Plus we are already nearing the mark of mid card limbo for a few deserving talents.

If done right, with just a few more signings, they could book out at least 2 years with a main title picture & not have to repeat champs in that time. Plus have plenty of time to build up whoever they want for the next phase, including any PC/NXT grown talent.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

NXT never ceases to amaze me. The little nuances like Mojo attacking Joe and then being choked out, Bayley throwing down the chair Asuka got her; not to mention GLORIOUS!

Excited for ShinJoe.

 

[justinsayne]

Gotcha.

Add to that Tanahashi, Kushida, Alex Shelley, Candice Larae, Ivelisse, War Machine, & Mike Bennett.

That's what I meant when I said "female talent". AK-47, Santanna Garrett (full time) Taya Valkyrie, Taeler Hendrix, Kelly Klein, Veda Scott, Mia Yim, Marti...I could go on for days.

They are already signing Big Damo so I don't think War Machine is happening. Tanahsahi would be a one-off as he is too old, but I don't think is well known enough by western audiences for a one-off

 

[justinsayne]

Didn't even realize till just now that Tanahashi was 39, thought he was late 20's/early 30's

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Them Japanese genetics tho

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Wouldn't mind NXT getting Angelico or Son Of Havok one day either. Though I don't know how likely either is.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

It is a very clear homage to Queen, yeah. It's so great to have CFO$ doing distinct, catchy themes for everyone - we've finally escaped the dark days of everyone having generic butt rock for a theme.

Whoa now.


Come back when he does anything on the level of the SCSA, the Rock, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker , Mr.Perfect, Goldust, or the Brood.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Don't sit there and pretend that 2002 to, I dunno, 2012 was anything other than the dark ages for themes. The only fitting butt rock theme - Punk's - ended up getting replaced.

 

[Blade]

Gotcha.

Adam Cole, Brian Cage, Pentagon, Richochet, Will Ospreay, Bodyguy Johnson, Okada, Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, ReDragon, Young Bucks, Jimmy Havoc......just a few off the top of my head.

And they have barely scratched the surface of all the female talent out and about.

That's not even mentioning TNA guys... I could see Drew Galloway, EC3 and Eli Drake all joining NXT in the next couple of years, assuming none of them are too bitter.

Edit: And in the women's column, I will always cling to the tiny bit of hope that Cheerleader Melissa will come to NXT...

 

[Viola Moonlight]

WWE doesn't need to sign more guys; they've got enough guys on all rosters to create magic. If they fluster the rosters with more talent, then you'll see some of the guys drop down the card.

The women, however, do need a bit of injection. They've got some great talent making appearances like Santana Garrett and Tessa Blanchard, but NXT could use an injection after they got raided by the draft.

Date: August 10, 2016
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves

With Takeover: Brooklyn just ten days away, it’s time to start the final push towards the big show. In this case we have the contract signing between Bayley and the now evil Asuka for their Women’s Title match as well as (more than likely at least) a showdown between Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura. Let’s get to it.

Mission Accomplished. Again.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I sincerely hope they don't break up Ciampa/Gargano because if TM61 is the last face team it'll be extremely sad. The tag title match will be great for sure.

Asuka looked sexy as fuck in heels.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Nakamura grabbing Joe's nose was golden.

 

[Uncle Sam]

TM61 are such a god damn CAW tag team. They have the tools to be better but their ring gear, their theme music, even their coming out in NXT shirts - it all screams bush league.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. They're not bad but I haven't gotten excited over them since they debuted.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

TM61 are the Tye Dillinger/Elias Sampson of the tag team world; they're jobbers to the stars.

Also, I'm a very happy man to say that Australia is getting an NXT tour in December, and that there are rumours of a Takeover special happening here. It'll most likely be in a different state, if it does occur, but I'm not missing out on the Takeover.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

That would be fuckin balls out.

And awesome

 

[Uncle Sam]

Takeovers in different countries (Britain, Canada, we're going to count Japan) are one of my favourite aspects of NXT; they give each show a unique flavour.
