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

[nightmare]

Enzo is that gimmick. So much that I cant imagine anyone in near memory that has pulled it off so damn well. His mannerisms and promos get better each week.


I got my neigbor to start watching by showing him 2 clips. Neville hitting the corkscrew shooting star & a blistering promo from Wyatt. The NXT fanbase grows by the day.


Honestly the structure, matches and everything in NXT right now is on point. We could probably replace 95% of the SD roster with the NXT crew and watch the numbers soar. They are putting on a better show each week and more people need to watch.

Great episode this week. Two good matches, storyline progression, Breeze is glorious, Enzo, Cassady, Sly and Dylan had a segment together, Heel Dallas is shockingly fun too. Like I say, damn good stuff.

It was Scott Dawson. Dylan was released this week and i think he's been injured. He just suddenly disappeared after Dylan and Dawson lost to Kassius/Graves.

Oh, and does anyone still think Bo's a face after this week?

Nope. Being a meta-heel is a fantastic idea, it'll get anyone who beats Bo over instantly. That being said i wish the commentators would be somewhat critical of him.

When Xavier Woods and Tyler Breeze eventually face off the crowd will lose their mind.

Shows how distinct they were.

Glad you caught up, we're just waiting on KB now. I've got to give props to Kruger too (because I'm Remix. Of course I do) for how he played it during their match. He served as the perfect transitional opponent for Bo. He's an established heel so fans who cheer Bo would accept him, but played face for the audience which will help Bo transition to being a heel elsewhere. That he and Bo have good chemistry helps.

When Xavier Woods and Tyler Breeze eventually face off the crowd will lose their mind.

Mike Dalton has certainly come a long way from bland guy who Kruger made relevant.

Why? Keeping them on his side will only piss people off more, which is the point.

NXT
Date: August 7, 2013
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Alex Riley

Tonight is a big night on NXT as we have a double main event. Dean Ambrose is defending his US Title against Adrian Neville and Bo Dallas is defending the NXT Title against Leo Kruger. Tonight sounds like it’s going to be focusing on in ring action instead of storytelling which should make for a good show. Let’s get to it.

Fair point. Didn't think of that.

Ohno has a new look. He has reached the point where no matter what he does in NXT I'm never going to take him seriously. How the hell did he have the hype he did when he came in?

ROH-mainstay factor. You reach a certain level of indy-hype and reality ceases to matter.

 

[.]

Well he had hype because of his PWG and Kings of Wrestling work. I know what you mean though, it's as if he just hasn't adapted to WWE's style.

His match with Regal is still fucking brutal and probably one of this years best.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Wait Sammy Zayn is El Generico? Who knew?

 

[Remix]

Everyone.

 

[nightmare]

I really had hopes for Ohno. Once it was clear WWE wasnt going to reunite the KOW any time soon, I think he got a little pissed and dug his heels in a bit. Maybe being the big dog in a small pond is all he ever was meant to be and he isnt taking it too well now that reality has set in.



He is good in his own right, but not as great as his reputation claimed. To the point in which if you have not heard of him before- you would care even less now. It is quite clear that Cesaro is the better of the team. So I am not too torn up about it. If he does not get it together soon, I know there are many guys waiting to pass him by on the way to the main roster.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Wait Sammy Zayn is El Generico? Who knew?

No, El Generico is tending to his orphanage in Mexico. Sami Zayn is a newcomer from Canada.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

You can tell from his back hair he's a canuck ye.

 

[.]

Meant to reply to this earlier.

I think Krugers gimmick would be ten times better in a non PG era, so he could get a bit more brutal and sadistic with it.

If they had a higher rating then PG they could strip him of his disturbed soldier gimmick and just give him an Apartheid supporter gimmick. More heat than Muhammad Hassan.

No, El Generico is tending to his orphanage in Mexico. Sami Zayn is a newcomer from Canada.

Some say Zayn lived in that orphanage for a while hence why fans give him the olé chants.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Tyler Breeze's entrance is the best since Matt Hardy V1.

 

[Blade]

Just catching up on this week's NXT now, but the Leo Kruger promo was gold. I want more of that. Calling Dallas "Bobo" alone is worthy of a main event push.

That Bo Dallas promo, meanwhile, could've either been a bad heel promo or a horrible face promo. I never know with that guy, he's a cheesy cunt whatever he says.

Calling him Bobo is one of the things he's always done.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Bo's matches have a habit of being pretty damn decent. That annoying cunt is growing on me.

Oh, right. I never watched FCW, so I missed that.

The fact that Briley Pierce starts off that video with "I still work here" is hilarious now. Also, that version of Kruger does nothing for me, I'm glad he was given a gimmick.

Bo's matches have a habit of being pretty damn decent. That annoying cunt is growing on me.

He's not bad in the ring. But his face is just so indescribably stupid. Like, all the time. I just want to punch it.

Watch his FCW title run. Pretty damn good stuff.

I'm assuming FCW can be talked about in the NXT thread. Same featured players, same bookers, shitter surroundings.

Oh, right. I never watched FCW, so I missed that.

Looking back, he was bland as fuck back then. But that didn't matter because he was a fucking machine having good matches with everyone he faced and looked like a star. The Walking Talking Main Event tagline was effective because he pretty much was.

 

[Uncle Sam]

He's not bad in the ring. But his face is just so indescribably stupid. Like, all the time. I just want to punch it.

He's the next Miz.

Edit:

For example, does The Miz have to make his cuntface in this picture?

No, but he does anyway.

 

[Blade]

Wow. There is a shocking amount of cuntness radiating off his face in that picture.

More Leo Kruger promo time / character segments in general would be good. I wish they could make his style in the ring a little more wreckless

I was at a live show over a year ago and he was a lot more wild and ruthless in the ring. I agree I wish he would do that more often as it would fit him much better. Right now he reminds me way too much of Kraven from Spiderman comics.
