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

[Uncle Sam]

I thought about buying a couple of extra tickets in a shitty area, then decided I'd never want to sit there, then thought I would sell them on, then was disgusted at my capitalist greed, then closed the page. What a rollercoaster!

If anybody has a spare ticket they want to offer their ol' Uncle Sam, he'll gladly pay face value for them and buy you a couple of pints. If not, he's happy to sit by himself in his half-decent seat.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Nobody, apparently, unless they're having much better luck than I am. It would appear that, yes, WWE isn't using the entirety of an arena in which TNA house shows are sold out. Tickets are available for a minimum of twice their original price on GetMeIn if anybody's interested. Well orchestrated all round. I'm just glad I already have a ticket.

THey will likely decide on and change configurations as time goes on. Thay did that with Brooklyn. It was originally supposed to be a 5,000 seat show.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Nearly bought a shitty pair off a bloke on Twitter. NXT'll make a man crazy.

 

[Blade]

I don't even care that I'm sitting alone. Probably even better that way.

 

[Uncle Sam]

What if we got seats next to each other? And then our hands touched while we were cheering for Bayley? And then we fell in love? Wouldn't that be weird?

On a related note, if anybody wants to go for drinks before or after the show, I'm down.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Had only my work landed me in your mysterious land for a few years.


Oh, the group we would make.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Are you threatening a military invasion of England?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The show is indeed called Takeover, after all.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Are you threatening a military invasion of England?

I just realized you are probably unaware that we have 2 (3?) actively operating bases over there, were people are stationed for 3 - 5 years at a time.


That's what I meant, by my work bringing me there....not the way it took me to other places

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh no, I know you have bases here. I either read it in the paper or you told me.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

"Unaware" sums up my general perception of most you lot on that island

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I had to get mine from AXS.com. There's some seats left, though none of them are particularly great.

Ditto, sat in decent seats which I'm more than happy with.

It's hard to be unaware when members of the US air force crashed into a field on the south coast, making national news in the process.

Ill bet their lives were just splendid once they got back behind the gate

I could never fall in love with a man who's indifferent to Finn Balor.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's not my fault that the heel he's feuding with is more interesting than him in every way, bar maybe bodypaint, nor that his predecessor as top face is literally my favourite wrestler (and also better than him in every way).

 

[Blade]

I get that. But he's the best alternative we have to Conor McGregor as an Irish sporting hero. So I kind of have to cling to him. Because McGregor is ew.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm big into Progress Wrestling lately - largely because of the shock of discovering there's a London-based wrestling promotion that attracts tons of fantastic talent - and Prince Devitt's a folk hero down here, to the point that they still sell t-shirts with him on at shows, and sell them out. I want to like him, I really do, but I just can't enjoy a wrestler with the sort of pedigree that Finn Balor has when he's having sub-par matches. His matches with Owens have been his best yet and they still feel lacking.

On a related note, one of my very favourite UFC moments:

What sort of prick wears a baby blue suit to a press conference? Are you getting married after?

Um, Becky Lynch? She's having, or at least was having before this stupid team nonsense, better matches than Balor.

I get the sense that Balor & Hideo are both suffering from having styles that aren't easily adaptable to the WWE style. Both guys could benefit from using finishers they had before coming to WWE, especially Hideo, that single leg dropkick might be the most anti-climatic finisher I've seen in awhile.

I hope he's still adjusting to the WWE style. He's only been in WWE for 10 months after wrestling the Japanese style for 8 years. And I think Triple H knows that, and is coaching him through it.

Wait till we see Finn vs. Zayn. Sami is so good that he'll help Finn reach his full potential, as he's done for so many others.

Christ. He's so embarrassing. Like a younger brother who's going through his rebellious phase.

Um, Becky Lynch? She's having, or at least was having before this stupid team nonsense, better matches than Balor.

I love Becky. But until she stops playing second fiddle to Charlotte, Sasha and Paige, I can't quite put her on that pedestal.

Hideo needs his GTS, and Balor needs... Whatever. Anything else.

The Coup de Grace is still better than Rollins' Pedigree, though.

Bloody Sunday would be cool, but I don't think they allow him to use it for reasons that are pretty obvious...

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Balor's finish in NJPW was pretty much the same except it he hit a Bloody Sunday brain buster beforehand that there's no way WWE will let him do.

Why the fuck they didn't let Hideo hit the GTS on Breeze at their first Takeover match is beyond me but he'll be fine as long as they let him it relatively soon after coming back.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

GTSlow Burn. He will hit that move when the match and the crowd is right.

He already has, the NXT San Jose show, WM31 weekend, & they showed it when they did the highlight package the following week on NXT

 

[Blade]

The annoying thing is that Hideo would be using the GTS way more often if it wasn't for CM Punk.

 

[Tastycles]

Absolutely nobody would give a shit about him doing the GTS if it wasn't for CM Punk.
