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

A full DVD about the story of NXT would be awesome.

Isn't there one in the works?

 

[Blade]

I know there's a Best of... coming out soon. But I don't think it has a full documentary.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The way I'm feeling, I don't think I'm going to even attempt to stay up for Respect tonight, which is a pity.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm watching the latest Table for 3, which has Owens, Cesaro and Ambrose on it, and they all stop briefly to make fun of how overwhelmingly positive Sami Zayn is. Fuck 'em.

 

[Bagpipes]

Just watching the 24/7 gave me chills again and a few tears

Dude, my eyes welled up at least 3 times during that program. Been a long time since wrestling did that to me.

 

[Blade]

Great show, but goddamn, that Full Sail crowd was so annoying during the Main Event. A new chant every five seconds. We get it, you like NXT.

Also, Balor showed more character development in two hours last night than he has for months. Good for him.

 

[justinsayne]

I'll take a fired up NXT crowd chanting all night over a dead RAW crowd any night.

The problem I have with 30 minute or any length of ironman match is that its all going to boil down late. I'm sick so I was able to watch live, but because I was sick I would continually fall asleep only to be woken by the commentary screaming at the finish of each match and then fall back aslepp and repeat

That's some fine heel work there Sasha.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Even the mafia don't hit the kids.

 

[Барбоса]

Channelling Chuck Taylor.

Sasha will be doing an Awful Waffle next.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I watched a Chuck Taylor compilation, ready to laugh my socks off. I just didn't get it.

 

[Барбоса]

Shouting at random kids and making them cry for no reason in a high school gym in front of 27 people is not all that great.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Today I Learned: Nia Jax is The Rock's cousin. On the one hand, she might be as awesome as, well, literally every member of The Rock's family, blood related or not, who has set foot in the ring. On the other hand, she's gonna get booed when she wins the Royal Rumble.

Between this and The Boss being Snoop Dogg's cousin, I'm beginning to think this entire thing is an exercise in nepotism.

 

[Барбоса]

Natalya, Tamina Snuka, Brie Danielson, Nikki Cena, Eden Runnels.

We'll soon find out that Bayley is related to Ricky Steamboat.

She no-sold her head getting rammed into the buckle in Brooklyn, so she has to be some sort of Pacific Islander

That's a great, but weird, trope.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Hugo Knox worked a dark match at the last tapings.


Sam, prepare yourself for homo-erotic admiration the likes of which haven't been seen since Corey Graves was an active wrestler.


This is one of many times we need Coco.

So Leva "Blue Pants" Bates won't be used anymore because she talked about how her character was over, and that bothered some people because she was just a jobber and was there to put people over. This is baffling in a couple of ways.

1. So what? She was speaking the truth. They loved the character. Not exactly revealing the location of the Illuminati's monthly meeting spot.

2. If she's so well liked by the fans, that's money in the bank FOR putting people over. Easy heel heat for the likes of Bliss, Emma, or Dana to cash in on by beating down someone the crowd really likes.

She responded to those rumors...

My take on the whole thing when I first heard it was "Then fucking sign her ya dumb fucks!" If she's over with the fans, & can work why the hell wouldn't you just offer her a contract?

Takeover was pretty great, but:

Nia Jax is STILL coming? How long has it been? Feels like months.

Jordan and Gable should've gone over Corbin and Rhyno. Having two thrown together teams in the finals? The Vaudevillians being eliminated at a house show as well... I would've wanted them to make it further, even win it, since they are the current champs after all.

I'd have liked Breeze to have beaten Crews with that rollup to carry on the feud but alas!

 

[Барбоса]

Am I wrong for thinking more of Jason Jordan in-ring than Chad Gable?

 

[Papa Pillman]

I actually agree with you here.
