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

The last uppercut makes my stomach turn. In the best way possible.

Also, is that "devastating manoeuvre comment a Pete Holmes reference?

It’s a new era here in NXT as the shows now air on Thursday as well as on the WWE Network. Last week was NXT Arrival with a classic between Cesaro and Zayn and Adrian Neville FINALLY ending Bo Dallas’ title reign. It should be interesting to see if WWE will allow NXT be themselves again as that could be great news for them. Let’s get to it.

We Are All.....Sleds?
 
So, now everyone's seen it, do I get to be smug about predicting that Leo Kruger would make the Adam Rose gimmick work?
 
i'll always be sad about Krugers gimmick flopping. If he could be more sadistic it would've worked so well.

However Adam Rose is the single greatest thing in existence and Rose showed mic skills that the disturbed bastard, walking talking main event & king of africa never showed. Rose is ready dude, push him to Pluto because he's way over the moon.
 
Eh. I still miss Kruger, and I think there was far too much untapped potential in that gimmick, but Rose was fun, I guess. It just seems like we've probably seen everything that there is to see already.

Also, they couldn't give him a finisher that wasn't the Slice?
 
Adam Rose would be a lot more digestible if he were sold as, say, Leo Kruger after coming out of the closet. Kruger was just a tremendous gimmick, man, and I will always be sad that it doesn't exist anymore. Still, fucking killer theme music.

Kudos on Adrian Neville for another better-than-average promo this week. He does look like some sort of crazy elfman but I can just about decipher what he's sayn.

Sami Zayn will henceforth be used as an adjective; as a synonym for excellent. For instance: Sami Zayn was totally Sami Zayn this week.

We’re coming off a good episode last week with the debut of Adam Rose and the first appearance of Adrian Neville as the NXT Champion. He and Bo Dallas aren’t done yet though as Dallas has promised to cash in his rematch clause in the near future. The only announced match for tonight is Xavier Woods vs. Alexander Rusev. Let’s get to it.

Things hve been looking up in Florida over the last few weeks after a few down weeks leading up to Arrival. The big story at the moment is Bo Dallas wanting his title back from Adrian Neville and the title match takes place next week. Other than that we’ve got the Divas arguing as usual, likely leading up to a good match or two. Let’s get to it.

Let The Fun Times Roll
 
Sami should have punched the doctor and had the match anyway. If he truly loved me.

In the biggest controversy since Russia decided that Crimea wasn't really part of Ukraine after all, Adam Rose's music was indeed awkwardly dubbed over by a poor approximation in post production. Get them rights back, WWE. OH!

Tonight is another of those big shows for NXT called Vengeance. The idea here is a bunch of long standing feuds or rematches, such as Neville vs. Dallas II in the main event. Other than that we have Parker vs. Rawley, Natayla vs. Charlotte and Breeze vs. Woods. NXT knows how to put on the big shows like this so hopefully they continue the trend here. Let’s get to it.

A Departure From Arrival
 
I just realised:

"Hey Neville, you climbed a ladder like a dad cleaning out the gutter."

Bo's been reading the WrestleZone tournament.
 
I get what they were going for in the Sami/Graves match, but the ending still felt awkward. Why use a leg submission when the guy is concussed?

BECAUSE SCREW CONTEXT, IT'S MY FINISH, GODDAMNIT!

I don't think it matters really. I mean Graves knows that move perfectly in a kayfabe sense and he seemed to be aware Sami had no means of fighting back. Graves wanted to cripple him maybe? :shrug:
