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

[A11oftheLights]

you gotta imagine they are getting paid peanuts too, imagine if they got a netflix deal and blew up into this massive thing. I wonder how legitimate the contracts are too, as in the same way Punk reckons that he could have smashed wwe in court (which is why wwe never let it get to court because then they would have to renegotiate all contracts, assuming punk is telling the truth considering the defamation case etc.)

An interesting listicle on possible NXT recruits, including my close personal friend/man I once saw on the train Zack Sabre Jr.:

Apollo Crews!? Are you fucking kidding me!? You give me Mr. Can't Emote versus Mr. Also Can't Emote in the main event of Takeover and I won't be satisfied unless one of them grabs the zip on the back of their head and reveals they're Sami Zayn in a person suit.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Sawyer Fulton literally looks like someone randomly generated a created wrestler.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm sorry, I was upset and I was lashing out.

But those are literally the worst tattoos I have ever seen and I've been watching wrestling for nearly twenty years.

Sorry, I did it again.

Would be especially surprising if it was Crews that did it

 

[Uncle Sam]

Nia Jax was not what I was expecting at all and I am absolutely on board with it. Yes, I am entirely serious.

 

[Uncle Sam]

If ever there was an occasion for incessant chanting, it was a battle royal.

This Apollo Crews business was a very funny joke, you guys, but who really wins?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Definitely unexpected but certainly is more interesting than what we usually get.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The NXT universe has turned on me, cheering Samoa Joe's elimination and getting behind Apollo Crews. They've probably seen his best moves highlight package on YouTube.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Hello, I'm Apollo Crews and I've never felt an emotion other than unadulterated happiness.

I'm really getting bent out of shape about this, aren't I?

I just-- I just-- Please give me a better main event. There's got to be a hidden Takeover, or he'll get his title match on a weekly, otherwise they'd be all, "He's going to London!"

It'll be a weekly. There's always a side challenger before they get to the next Takeover.

As for the unadulterated happiness, you mean like the Rock at first? As in the Rock who was cheered during his early Rocky Maivia days in Madison Square Garden?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'll give him credit when he's great like The Rock turned out to be and not shit like when The Rock started out.

 

[Tastycles]

I don't mind Apollo Crews, but I would say for every Rocky Maivia, there's a hundred Ricky Ortizes.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I also liked the Alexa Bliss segment, I thought it was really well done.

 

[JamJam]

Damn. Was rooting for Tyler Breeze there for a moment but it was too good to be true if he won the battle royal. I don't mind Crews at all but this gives us face vs. face for a Takeover event. It can be done but I like it better when it's face vs. heel. Either way, it should be a great matchup.

Also, it looks like Vince has changed his stance on employing TNA wrestlers. He pretty much said he'd sign them and use them to strengthen the NXT brand. If I was a TNA wrestler, I'd take it. Bobby Roode in NXT would be amazing.

 

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

Apollo Crews is great and I was so relieved, because when Corbin and Apollo were the final two I was really expecting Corbin to win... although yeah Breeze would've been fantastic. It'll be a great day when he gets a run with the title, he is one of my favourites because he has a proper character and is always entertaining on the mic and in the ring. Losses don't really seem to affect him either which is a great quality for a wrestler to have (Rock)

 

[A11oftheLights]

Breeze isnt an a legitimate threat anymore, maybe after he beats Joe he will be but someone who is 1-643 at Takeovers is not a threat

 

[Uncle Sam]

Breeze will never win the championship. He might get called up to the main roster but he will never win the NXT title.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

As long as they're legitimately cheering him and haven't turned on him like Rocky back in his early days I'd say Apollo is fine. He'll probably lose on a TV episode so he can get his first loss just like Balor did.

At this point, your posts make you the most likely person to secretly be Sami Zayn.

 

[Uncle Sam]

This is not the first time my appreciation of wrestlers has bordered on fanaticism. It's not even the first time this week.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Throwback Sunday - that time Sami Zayn kicked out so hard he ended up standing up again:

 

[Nate DaMac]

Oh, Just Gabriel. If only you had successfully killed Ricky Steamboat. Then you be might remembered for something other than Steve Austin thinking you were Fandango that one time.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Tyler Breeze is - supposedly - on the verge of being called up to the main roster:

They grow up so fast. One minute they're debuting their new gimmick, the next they're Fandango 2.0.

Sunrise, sunset.
