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

[Thriller Ant]

I thought both of them looked fine. Plus, it's not like all the previous women showed up fully-formed, so I have no worries

 

[Blade]

I'm not much of an indie guy, but obviously I knew who Owens and Balor and Zayn were before they arrived. But I've never heard of Gargano and Ciampa before. Are they any good?

Also, how is it that a simple jacket immediately makes Balor ten times cooler? Although, it's good to see how well his entrance translates to a Raw-style stage.

 

[JamJam]

Are Gargano/Ciampa signed? I hope so. They're pretty impressive from what I've seen from them. Putting them together as a team is good too but they're good as singles competitors as well.

Also, who do you guys think ends up winning this tag team tournament? It looks like Balor/Joe are up against Enzo/Big Cass next, not too sure.

 

[Baller]

My guess for the finals is Enzo & Cass vs. Gable & Jordan.

 

[Blade]

The announcer called Balor the United States champion at the end of NXT. Apparently she travelled back in time from 2017.

 

[Baller]

The main event for the next Takeover: Bayley vs Sasha Banks in a 30 minute iron woman match.

Take all my money NXT, all of it

This is awesome. Guess they made up for last time since it should've been the main event of the last Takeover pay-per-view. But yeah, I love this! NXT continues to be amazing!

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh, that's actually the main event? I thought it was for the "Takeover" - i.e. house show - they were doing in some town. That's brilliant news: Steph's "Now, your main event, in the second-to-last match..." really grated last time.

Awesome!!!

 

[A11oftheLights]

Wasnt really impressed by Gargano and Ciampa, seemed way over the top and I'm pretty sure they botched their entrance.

Surely Joe turns on Finn to set-up the title match at Takeover

Balor's entrance apparently has white lighting with the "Balor Club" logo and a jacket. They seem to be trying to differentiate demon from man. I'm all for it until he gets called up and it becomes "THIS GUY IS CRAZY MAGGLE LITERALLY DIFFERENT PERSON".

Or it becomes a new "Three Faces of Balor" thing.

Doesn't matter what they're doing it as. Commentary will make it sound stupid.

The PPV is being sold with the divas main event. I could see the even going until the Takeover event itself with Finn & Joe potentially winning then Joe attacking Finn. Or better yet, Joe costing them the match against Gable and Jordan. Either way I see the match probably culminating at the PPV itself.

Based on spoilers he doesn't turn on him before the next takeover. I would guess they are gonna build it to the UK Takeover

 

[Blade]

So, what, Balor has no title defenses until December? That's very un-NXT-like.

 

[JamJam]

What's the prize for the tag team tournament? Is it a #1 contendership or the actual titles? I'm pretty sure The Vaudevillains are in this thing. So if they win the tournament, then what?

The Dusty Classic continues tonight as we have three weeks to go before Takeover: Respect. So far there isn’t much officially announced for the show but that is likely to change tonight with the main event being set up on this show. I’m sure we’ll also get some more tournament matches, including a few that might have taken place outside of Full Sail. Let’s get to it.

Another First Time Ever

 

[Papa Pillman]

I'm actually digging your Bayley/Steamboat analogy KB.

 

[klunderbunker]

I have to say something insightful once a year or so.

 

[justinsayne]

Bayley bringing Izzy into the ring may be one of, if not the coolest things I've ever seen in wrestling.

Right on. And people couldn't imagine Cena ever turning heel??

 

[Mighty NorCal]

The set-up down in Houston looks pretty awesome

It’s another night in the Dusty Classic as we’re moving towards Takeover: Respect with the semi-finals and finals of the tournament as well as a thirty minute Iron Woman match for the Women’s Title. Tonight is likely to be about the tournament and filling in the rest of the card for the show on October 7. Let’s get to it.

Ladies Night

 

[justinsayne]

Did anyone else notice that Bayley's #1 fan, Izzy, & her family turned their backs to Eva Marie when she came out? I need all of Full Sail to start doing this.

 

[A11oftheLights]

Really disappointed that there wasnt ironic cheers when Eva Marie kicked out against Carmella. Full Sail needs to learn the "You're shit and you know you are!" chant
