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

"summerslam was named after me"


that got a good, healthy chuckle off of me

It's occurred to me that Bo's meta-face, pseudo-heel, anti-villain, whatever it's called gimmick could be really good if he has the balls to run with it. His last couple of promos have been interesting because he's trying to be cheesy and a dick, unlike before where it was unintentional. If he works with a few promo guy to polish his mic skills, I think he could be a great heel.

 

[Coco]

He's been aware for more than his last couple promos. Don't let KB being slow fool you.

But the real story of the week: Was that a "Tyler's gorgeous!" chant? Bless these fans. Class acts. I doubt they have any dimes either.

 

[Blade]

Well the transition from face cunt Bo to heel cunt Bo was so seamless and slight, I didn't realise it at first. I did enjoy when he broke out the old Simpsons joke. "Are you saying boo or Boo-urns?" Classic.

The Tyler chants were pretty wonderful, but CJ Parker is getting some hate because he's feuding with the new NXT darling. Then again, his debut promo last week was nearly as bad as AJ Styles' "pipebomb." We'll see how he's received at the next set of tapings.

I want to see Mojo Rawley in the ring. JR has been singing his praises for awhile. Baron Corbin too. Looked good last week (?) and both are former football players.

Also, Bayley warms my heart.

Just seeing Dallas v Kruger for the NXT title. Didn't think I could love Leo more, but I guess it was possible, after all.

My recording of this weeks episode cut off the ending to the main event. I am deeply saddened by this event.

Sami Zayn is extremely over, he'll do well when he goes to the main roster if they give him time to connect with the audience.

Things are getting interesting again in NXT as we started a series of new stories last week. On top of the card we have Sami Zayn wanting the NXT Title but having to deal with the other Real American, Jack Swagger. Other than that we have Sylvester LeFort strengthening his stable with the addition of Alexander Rusev. It should be a fun show tonight so let’s get to it.

Sami! Sami! Sami!

 

[Uncle Sam]

Alexander Rusev, The Ascension, Sami Zayn - what a stacked show.

And just like that, Dolph Ziggler became entirely obsolete.

Bonus:

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Are we at the point were we dont need to come on here and laude Sami Zayne? is it not just assumed that he put on an excellent match, and we can just discuss the rest of the show. Him rocking the show is as much a part of it as the letters N X and T

 

[Uncle Sam]

You know, I always wanted a wrestler - a good one - to have the same name as me. Close enough.

 

[klunderbunker]

Ricky Steamboat used to go by Sam Steamboat Jr. Does that work?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I think you know the answer to that.

I was just thinking: it's a shame about Paige's lackluster promo skills. They're not totally shambolic but they're very clearly... insincere. You can see the gears turning in her head. That gets sorted out, she's golden.

 

[klunderbunker]

I like her better as the silent chick she's been for her entire stay. Then again this is WWE where it's one size fits all in their eyes.

I think you know the answer to that.

Makes me miss Sofia Cortes/Ivelisse Velez. Good wrestler, plus good mic and character work. They did good things together.

Wildly confusing as to how she cant get on at either of the big two. I also miss the exfoliation of uglyness tour. That rocked. (two different people, I know. In the same train of thought of divas I miss)

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Coco, im insulted you didnt incude me in the original league of gentleman who wished a fiery death upon Bo Dallas. I was most certainley voicing my hatred for him in June, 2012

 

[Uncle Sam]

I don't think he included anybody but himself, did he? Truly, Coco is history's greatest monster - should I not first claim the title because of reasons.

 

[Coco]

I was burning effigies of Bo while he was still in the cradle.

Yes, my parents let me play with matches.

 

[samhunt391]

Bo Dallas is the most magnificent wrestling specimen in the WWE today, he could have beat The Rock, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in any match in their prime.

Awwww shiiiiitt

We reported last week that Vickie Guerrero's daughter Shaul Guerrero will be returning to WWE's training facility in Orlando this week. In an update, it seems as if Shaul is bringing back her old Raquel Diaz gimmick in the process. She recently posted the following message on Twitter, although at the time of this writing, it looks like it might have been taken down:

"Hello Raquetts! Thanks so much for all the love and support. Lets just say I'm coming back ULTRA fab, ULTRA sheek, the ULTRA DIVA #LoveIt"

 

[Remix]

Why wouldn't she bring back the Raquel name? No indication she'll use the same gimmick though.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Y'all haven't seen the new episode yet? For shame. I haven't either, but I've been at work all day. Watching... now.

Edit: It seems my beloved namesake isn't on this show. Hurm.

Edit2: Wait. Wait.

The main story at the moment is Sami Zayn vs. Bo Dallas after Bo cost Sami a match against Jack Swagger last week. Sami is one of the most over guys in NXT and is more than ready for the main roster. Other than that we have the continuing adventures of Mason Ryan vs. LeFort and company which are at least getting Rusev over. Let’s get to it.

Be Careful What You Wish For

 

[Blade]

Woods vs Kreuger was Armlockfest 2013. Which a shame, cause both guys are much better than what they showed in the match.
