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

The annoying thing is that Hideo would be using the GTS way more often if it wasn't for CM Punk.

It should be mentioned that Daniel Bryan got both the Yes Lock & his running knee from Hideo as well, so he was basically screwed out of all 3 of his finishers before ever even getting to WWE.
 
Absolutely nobody would give a shit about him doing the GTS if it wasn't for CM Punk.

No one gives a shit about an unknown finisher at first. It's up to the wrestler to get it over. If CM Punk hadn't originally gotten the GTS over, it wouldn't have taken long for Hideo to do it.
 
Moves very rarely get over, wrestlers do. There's a few exceptions, like The Worm, but that is because it's something so unusual.

When the reaction to CM Punk was muted earlier in his career, so it was to the GTS. It's only once he became huge that people went crazy for the move.

When Hideo teases it, and the crowd laps it up it is because the 'smart' people in the audience are excited they can say 'that was his before it was Punk's' and the 'not smart' people in the audience think its an homage to Punk.

Without Punk it would be just a move, and the pop would be the same as for anything else Itami does: a bit limp.
 
The Jack Swagger versus Sami Zayn match I always go on about - I found it and uploaded it to YouTube:

The match begins at around 37:43 minutes. Not the crispest video quality but you can tell what's going on.
 
Kind of surprised The Ascension is still so over in NXT. What's with Konnor's new Road Dogg inspired offense? Those shake, rattle n roll punches just felt awkward.
 
NXT
Date: September 2, 2015
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Rich Brennan, Corey Graves

The focus goes back on the tag teams tonight as we begin the Dusty Classic. This is a tag team tournament for a prize to be announced and with most of the participants to be announced as well. The idea is to have the past, present and future of NXT involved to honor the spirit of Dusty Rhodes. Let’s get to it.

One More For Dusty

He's been doing the shake thing for a while in NXT. He did it excessively in their "return" to play along with the crowd. Even the commentators mentioned it with the "Yah" movement comment.
 
So is there gonna be a title shot out of all this or maybe another kind of prize? Like some sort of trophy, if you will?

I dont think I heard anything mentioned. Did I miss an announcement?
 
I remembered how much I loved The Ascension and then had my heart broken into a million pieces.

If there is a God and he gives me Alexa Bliss versus Bayley at Takeover UK, I promise not to marry any homosexual couples.

To think, a mere two months ago I was standing in Tommaso Ciampa's general vicinity and now he's in NXT. It's a little bit like I'm in NXT too. Psycho killer! Fa-fa-fa-fa!

The venom with which Eva Marie was booed after she botched the kickout, you'd have thought she'd just won the Royal Rumble.

Between BAMF, Sawyer Fulton and whoever the fuck, and Jordan and Gable, the NXT tag division has some ludicrously athletic teams.
 
I hope Jordan & Gable go far in this tournament. KB rarely gushes about anyone as much as he does about Gable.

I need to see more although he was promising at the Takeover pre show 8 man.
 
Gable can go far. Dude is hilarious & skilled as hell.


I was watching ROH and realized that someone should have told HHH about Dalton Castle. How badass would it be to have Mr. Smooth Sailing himself on NXT?
 
Just what was with that finish the other week with Emma pinning Becky? It was weird as hell. And this is out of curiousity, how was that week filmed in relation to takeover? Was all of it filmed before the show? Credit to the commentators for pretending they had seen the matches already if so lol

Jordan and Gable are a brilliant team.

Balor should have different moves when he has the demon persona. Nothing stands out inring for me.

Eva Marie not kicking out was HILARIOUS
 
This was taped before. If you look, some camera angles that have the commentary booth in the background show it empty. Commentary was added in post.
 
Holy shit, Tyler Breeze and Xavier Woods were a tag team called The Hollywood Express:
