I still don't quite understand what you all seem to expect from Bull Dempsey. He is fine for what his style and character are supposed to be.

We've come to learn to not accept someone for being a C Minus just because their gimmick is C Minus.

Makes the lot of you sound like "Czena sux" guys. Just because he isn't a technical wizard or high flyer, well then he suxxxxx/
Lot more to it than that. Hard to gauge given he has nothing but squashes and brawls, but he isn't nearly as bad as you all make him out to be.

I thought he was fine when he started, but it became clear quickly that they weren't going to do anything with him. I also didn't like the flying headbutt.

Last week, evil won. Kevin Owens destroyed NXT Champion Sami Zayn and powerbombed him into oblivion over and over until he just couldn’t get up again, leading to the referee stopping the match and awarding the title to Owens. The question now is what is he going to do with the title, because Zayn can’t possibly be back that soon. Let’s get to it.

That's what Solomon Crowe looks/sounds like? Not sure how to feel yet...
Neville is fucking gold in the ring, that match was a shorter version of Bryan/Wyatt at the Rumble last year. Great fucking watch.

I really don't get the Amore & Cass thing but whatever. There's no denying that people like them.
Just to crush Sam some more, here's some footage of Zayn after the beating.
That Neville/Owens match needed like 5 more minutes. I wasn't ready for it to end. That deadlift German Suplex was fucking sweet.

The fuck is with them trying to shoehorn the new divas into successful acts already going? Corbin is the "Lone Wolf" why the fuck would he now get a valet?
Another example of why its a damn shame Corey Graves was forced to retire. Zahra would have made a great valet for him in a damn good heel act. Two pretty, counter culture people who treat others like shit and cheat them all the time. Would remind me a little of a new age Edge and Lita (you know, without the actual real life scummyness attached)
Alas.

Alas.
Damian Sandow was handed a meh gimmick having to look like The Miz. Then he took that shit to 11 & started acting out the matches at ringside.
It is all about what you make of the situation.
If Dempsey did something to stand out instead of blend in as generic heel tough-guy #42, then maybe it would be different. His "last of a dying breed" thing is all about kicking ass, yet he was taken care of with relative ease by Corbin a few times now. Plus he seems to forget that is what Owens is all about & Kevin does it better. Much better.

He had the most disgusting botch in the history of the universe at Rival.
He couldn't take a damn clothesline over the ropes. Corbin clotheslined him and both were supposed to go over. Corbin went over, Dempsey failed, and 2 seconds later (after Corbin was on the floor) dempsey just took a pointless bump over the ropes to the floor. It looked like shit, and the NXT crowd shit all over him.
It literally made me want to never see that piece of shit ever again.

He had one hilariously ******ed botch, so he is just the worst wrestler ever.
I get it.

justinsayne
Cody Rhodes is an excellant
If botching makes a guy the worst wrestler ever, then their are PLENTY of worse guys than Bull, like Scott Steiner, original Sin Cara, & Sabu just to name a few. Every guy botches at some point in their career, it's gonna happen when you're having literally hundreds of matches, most of which are on TV, every year. The botch in the Bull/Corbin match wasn't nearly as bad as Stormy is making it out to be, in fact it took place in the bathroom break match of the night, so odds are most people watching at home wern't even paying attention, or cared.

That botch happens at least once a month in matches. Hell, Titus did it in the Rumble because he didn't stand in the right place.

While I completely agree that a botch here or there doesnt make a wrestler bad. I also agree that Dempsey is shit, though part of it does have to do with his booking. He's fat and the whole last of a dying breed thing is boring and isnt a positive when he doesnt fit into the mould of big guys who are still athletic like Big Show & Taker used to be, Owens, etc.

This criticism of Dempsey reminds me of the criticism of Great Khali: yeah he's limited, but what in the world are you expecting from a guy whose name is BULL and brags about being a fighter? If you're expecting a Sami Zayn clone, you don't quite understand wrestling. As for the botch, I've seen Ricky Steamboat screw up moves before. Does that make him worthless and horrible?

A valid knock against someone if there ever was one

Dempsey really isn't worth the pages of conversation he's getting.
I'd much rather someone explain to me this Solomon Crowe person.

Enzo hasn't been on the last two NXT specials, which is a new level of bullshit. Alright, at R-Evolution, he hugged Sami Zayn, causing me to mark out so hard that my soul left my body for a few minutes. One assumes it'll be The Certified Gs versus #TeamThick at the next Takeover.
CJ Parker is probably the most under-appreciated talent in wrestling right now. I don't know what to think about Solomon Crowe. He looks like a homeless Raven. Alright, an even more homeless Raven.

It's one thing to not go over right away, it's another to wait a few seconds until well after the move was over to begin the bump. It wasn't a botch, it was an atrocity. Titus didn't get over right away, but Abrose and Rollins kept at it and sent him over. Bullshit Dempsey just took a bump by himself on live television.
Couple that with his complete lack of ability to have a somewhat decent match and he needs to go.

He reminded me of one of the "tough" trolls from the 90s toy line.
Much better look though than what appeared to be an ice cream man with a gut that I saw in pictures last summer. I shall reserve judgement.
Damn good episode....Ol' Blue pants....Not unattractive, and also dresses like she is in the old school X men.
They had Carmella stop talking. Good. Heel heat will die down a little more every time.
Badass match for the ME, good show that got a lot done.

They need to play up the heel heat with Carmella. Intentional or not (I'd say a little from Column A and a little from Column B), they need to double down and roll with it, which NXT has never had a problem with in the past. It seems the seeds are there for her to defect to #TeamThick, and screw over Enzo and Cass in the process, which would be beneficial for everyone involved.
