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

In a perfect world.

Rooting for Cena & blocking a lot of people.

Owens is gold on twitter, his twitter war with Riley alone is just some fantastic stuff.

It appears that he deleted it but he replied to someone in French and while I don't exactly speak the language, it appears that he said he always prefered Shawn in response to someone talking about Bret.

I think the Cena match would have gone longer, or at least been more dense with action, if it weren't for the shoulder injury, which they were clearly compensating for. It was still a tremendous match, mind you, and I think had the desired outcome.

I have mixed emotions about seeing Sami on the main roster. It was going to happen eventually and is really way overdue. The feud with Owens was really the last thing for him to do. People say they'd like to see him face Balor or Itami but I've really no interest in like against like indie darling matches. Yes, Owens is also an indie darling but he and Zayn have history, have chemistry and have distinct styles.

Basically, I feel like it's my kid's first day at school and I'm worried about what storylines the headmaster's going to put him in.

I feel like Sami was injured before hand. The way he was positioning it around the time he got in the ring seemed pretty weird.

He has had shoulder trouble in the recent past and it is definitely possible that he aggravated an old injury when gesticulating to the crowd before entering the ring.

We’re two weeks away from Takeover: Unstoppable where Sami Zayn (shoulder permitting) will be challenging Kevin Owens for the NXT Title. Other than that, we’re closing in on the showdown between Blake/Murphy and Enzo/Big Cass, which hinges around Carmella’s possibly changing allegiances. As usual there’s a lot of other good stuff going on in NXT so let’s get to it.

Why Would I Want To Stop This?

 

[Tastycles]

Dana Brook's interview was good, but whoever is telling the divas to labour over pronouncing enn.... ex...... tee needs to stop. She wasn't as annoying as Carmella saying it, but it still grated.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure Carmella's turn is a certainty.

Oh I would love it to be so and for Enzo and Cass to even it up with Blue Pants, but I'm just not sure.

I said it already, but I thought Emma did the heel thing fantastically this week. She's clearly very, very talented. But you know, dance off with Summer Rae or whatever.

Getting arrested didn't appear to help either.

Just ask Riley and Bram.

Spoiler

had no prior wrestling experience before WWE signed him.[4] He had trained with Joe DeFranco at the DeFranco's Training Systems gym in Wyckoff, New Jersey since the age of 14. By chance, WWE executive Triple H also started training with DeFranco; Arndt, a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, made a compilation video of himself doing various exercises and cutting a promo. When DeFranco showed the video to Triple H, Arndt was given a tryout at WWE,[4] ultimately resulting in his signing.[1] In August 2012, WWE was noted to have signed Arndt, then under the pseudonym Eric Anthony.[5][6] He was listed as a wrestler by the ring name of Enzo Amore within WWE's developmental system NXT by November 2012

He is a Triple H guy. This fills my heart with such joy. Also, Holy shit, Colin Cassaday has been down there since 2011.

 

[Барбоса]

So what if, horror of horrors, Sami is not able to go at Unstoppable and instead of putting the winner of the triple threat into the title match, Owens is in the ring laughing only to be interrupted by

Spoiler

They then beat the shit out of each other for 15 mins, ending in a double DQ/countout.

Highly unlikely but could be great fun.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

That'd be sick as fuck.

 

[Барбоса]

And now Itami is fucked.

A Balor/Breeze/Owens triple threat seems more likely but the chances of a suprise debut might have just increased greatly.

 

[Shocky]

Itami going down sucks, if Sami can't go, that sucks. If they pull a swerve And have Joe come out to fight Owens, Full Sail will probably cease to exist.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

My heart hurts. So many questions going into Takeover. So many episodes already taped.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Bayley, Charlotte, Emma, Becky Lynch, The Boss - all absolutely top tier talent who looked top tier this week. Just wonderful. The opening match with Charlotte and Emma, Bayley's belly-to-Bayley suplex out of nowhere, Becky Lynch's hype package (featuring the Dynamite Kid), the contract signing. Ridiculous.

How badly is Sami hurt? Is it not at all? I hope it's not at all.

 

[MCMG]

I'm all for a Cesaro/Owens match at Takeover. Or indeed Owens/Kidd. Neither would require much thought. Balor is fine but it won't feel as special.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The Uhaa Nation vignette was kind of awkward. I don't mean against him negatively I just don't get what the fuck they were going with if they want to pump up the next major star on the show

 

[Uncle Sam]

Enzo Amore gets knocked the fuck out:

[Uncle Sam]

Do I have to keep you guys updated with everything? Am I the only one who puts up with Wreddit for the occasional news story?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The mechanics are back, with new and improved guts!!....and with not being called the mechanics. and without their lovely theme music.

Glad to see them back in any case.

Im not sure what to surmize about Sam's post. Would love to see him in a Ryno role, as Bully Ray.

Can we talk about just how much the WWE fucked up Ascension?

Fucked up insinuates they tried something and it failed. They never even tried to do anything good with the Ascension.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

They're completely burying them. I don't honestly get it. You have a great tag team and you're completely burying them.
