Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
NXT
Date: March 18, 2015
Location: LC Pavilion, Columbus, Ohio
Commentators: Jason Albert, Corey Graves, Rich Brennan
This is a very interesting show as we have matches from outside the NXT Arena for the first time. A few weeks back, NXT held some shows in Columbus, Ohio as part of the Arnold Sports Festival and the matches were recorded for TV. Other than that we also have Owens vs. Riley in a showdown over Owens being a bully. Let’s get to it.

I really hope they eventually come out with a Kevin Owens shirt that says "Powerbomb Everyone" similar to his package piledriver one.

She won me over working a match with a broken nose, bleeding all over the place, while concurrently being small and adorable

I think she'll get better. From stuff I've read, I think she had just about no experience when she got signed and has gravitated toward an indy wrestling style (stiff and flippy) that they've tried to get her to chill out on. I think that's why she comes off awkward sometimes; she's thinking too much in the ring.
I'm glad she's gravitated towards an "indie" style and not a "grab at your opponent's hair and scream a lot" style.
I'd give further thoughts on her but the WWE Network won't let me view the latest episode. Don't you know, WWE, that NXT is half the reason I pay ten pounds a month for this fucking thing? Bastards.

It's working. I knew just mashing X over and over until it yielded would work. You see, fellas, the WWE Network is a lot like a woman - you give her a tenner and you expect to be able to watch her whenever you want.
I like how the set at the Arnold is noticeably different to the regular set. I know it's probably due to space considerations and whatnot but it's a breath of fresh air for a new location to mean a new set. A Raw in Chicago and a Raw in Memphis look exactly the fucking same. The best you get is a red phone box for when the show's in London.
A lot of video packages this week.
"What's the craic, mate?"
Look - Carmella's going to turn on Enzo and Cass and cost them the tag titles. If I'm wrong, feel free to point out that I was wrong.
It's nice to see that moving from Florida didn't ruin the audience. A "How you doin'?" chant - wonderful. That crowd was fuming when Cass got pinned.
Having said that, the crowd could not give less of a fuck about Alex Riley. The pity high fives from members of the audience were hard to watch. A shame - I stand fully behind any man that stands in the way of Kevin Owens and those traitorous fucks in their duct tape shirts. Owens taking the piss out of Riley's ridiculous "RAGE" motif doesn't help matters.
On Alexa Bliss: a woman who dresses and wrestles like a fairy ballerina is marketable to no end to young girls. Seriously, capitalise on that. As an object of sexual desire? An odd choice but this is a world where people want to fuck cartoon unicorns.

Did the backstage promos feel really weird this week to anyone else? It feels like they were either recorded before the event or a decent amount of time afterwards and so the emotion didnt feel right
Alex Riley's pretty much done, if the wwe ever really did want him to work in the ring again they buried him by making him an announcer. If they didnt want him to get back in the ring they made sure he wont be able to by having him lose to Owens. Turn him heel, like the Miz, he works much better as a heel or at least he did when he had his original run

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
Still better than the Bellas... & Summer Rae... & that "Girl Bye" bitch
You mean the "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing so I'm going to just fake an orgasm every time I get hit in this ring, or do anything to this other bitch" style?
This seems to be happening to a lot of people this week, happened to me, & I saw Lance Storm tweet about it happening to him to.
God I hope you're right even though I really wanna see those tag belts on Enzo & Cass.
There is a solid chunk of indy promotions that run that area, so lots of indy fans that were really into the show, hence all Owens chants during his match.
Fuck Riley, the dude had one of the cushiest jobs in the company, then goes out & cuts a promo about how he was locked in a cage, & now he's out & he's gonna raaaaaaage, grrrrrr, fuck off. Owens throws him over the table but that's not enough for him to quit commentary & climb out of the this imaginary cage he thinks he's locked in, no, Owens pouring a bottle of water over you head is though is? you got some weird lines there Riley. Also him balling like a baby in the ring after beating CJ Parker was just embarrassing, he beat CJ Parker, the dude has essentially become the Brooklyn Brawler of NXT, EVERYBODY BEATS HIM!!

Neville would be the obvious choice. If they're going with the Mighty Mouse (I.E. super strong little guy) gimmick then him dumping a prone and fighting Big SHow/Kane would work great to get the gimmick over.

Neville or Balor seem like the obvious choice. Neville's biggest concern should be the horrible track record they've had with any NXT talent not named Paige or Bray Wyatt.

Huh???
Anyways, watched this week episode. Guys, Alexa Bliss is green, so just calm down.
I really thought more people would incorporate the very interesting ring and stage set up. The only guys who did were Owens, Balor, and Buddy Murphy by almost falling off it. Balor almost fell too.
Very good show, with the Enzo and Cass segment being excellent. I continue to be legitimately baffled as to what the hold up is on them and the Lucha Dragons moving on.
The little kick on Riley when Owens ran away from Balor was fucking magnificent.

Eh, Rusev I'll give you but Rollins isn't the same Rollins that was down in NXT, that Rollins would've bombed on the main roster.

SHALL WE BEGIN?
Yea, no. The NXT prospects count from Big E forwards. And even then, probably shouldn't.
Really, you gotta talk pre-network and post network. Before the Network, NXT may as well have still been FCW.

Jinder Mahal was Seth Rollins' top opponent. Damien Sandow was a featured challenger for Big E.'s title. That's not exactly Zayn vs. Owens. It's not even Zayn vs. Dillinger.

I don't really mean it that way, the show was still perfectly good. I just meant exposure-wise, with the new system and the PC, et all.
