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

[Uncle Sam]

Nakamura's always been most appealing to me when he's working an American style and not harvesting his potato fields. To say he's more charismatic than Itami is moot - he's more charismatic than the entire WWE roster.

Styles has been one of my favourites for nearly a decade now - do I even need to articulate how much I want him in NXT? There's the obvious seeds for a feud with Balor there.

Aye, I am X, the all mighty burster of bubbles. Your good time does not compute, for the only good times are those I approve of. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND BURN ALL OF YOUR SAMI ZAYN MERCHANDISE.

Please. Even you can't escape the universal appeal of Sami Zayn.

I just have a lot higher standards than a lot of people.

You certainly have... different standards.

They'll blow the roof off of Full Sail, maybe even collapse the building when Styles debuts.

How funny would it be if Joe and Styles faced off and the crowd just chants TNA

Holy cow AJ! I cannot wait.

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

I've literally only been subscribed to the Network for 3 weeks and have been cramming in some NXT. And then I hear they sign AJ, woot.

Does anyone have any good match recommendations?

 

[Uncle Sam]

What have you already watched?

 

[Baller]

Reports saying Styles and Nakamura gonna skip NXT altogether

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I think those may be assumptions based on how much they are being paid.


Going to hold out hope until Aj Styles is officially feuding with Dolph Ziggler.

Watch all the Takeovers for a start. The Bayley gauntlet before Brooklyn was fun too.

Plus anything with Sami Zayn.

Basically the last 5ish episodes plus the London Takeover.

The last year has clearly made WWE actually give a shit about women's wrestling; I already love Bayley and Sasha.

Sami's music already has me addicted

But I think it would be funny if they occasionally allowed him to roll out the El Generico character. Not as a repackage, just as a special event type thing.

Back in the summer, Joe and Rhyno headlined a tiny Florida sound stage. Not a TNA chant to be had.

I think we're safe.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Basically the last 5ish episodes plus the London Takeover.

Start with NXT Arrival (i.e. the first TakeOver) and then watch every TakeOver from there. There's not that many (nine including London) and none of them are less than decent.

NXT
Date: January 6, 2016
Hosts: Rich Brennan, Corey Graves

This is part two of the Best of 2015, meaning we’ll be seeing another hour of great stuff from last year. There’s still a lot of awesome matches they haven’t touched on yet which is really amazing given how much we saw last week. I’d assume a lot of this will be Finn Balor focused and there’s nothing wrong with that. Let’s get to it.

JUst snagged third row stage level seats for the house show in Philly Feb 18.


Yessir, yessir

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

So...(don't look if you don't want to see spoilers from the tapings)

Spoiler

Santana Garrett worked the latest set of tapings, that'd be a nice signing for the Women's division. Also Carmella facing Bayley next? Odd choice but could be fun.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Samoa Joe Vs Johnny Wrestling on Jan 20. Should be legit as all get out

 

[Uncle Sam]

I was rewatching The Boss versus Bayley, as I often do, when I realised something:

Bayley beat all the other Four Horsewomen on the way to becoming NXT Women's Champion, including Charlotte.

Bayley is the number one woman in WWE.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I still get chills when Bayley says goodbye to her rudy poo friends in the Barclays Center.

 

[nightmare]

Gable and Jordan got a name finally. This pleases me.

Now they just need belts.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Yeah, about that: is there a logic to the American Alpha name that I'm just not understanding? I'd have gone for The Republic of Chad and the Constitutional Monarchy of Jordan, personally.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Just to get this in early - if there's anyone who needs to be silent and enigmatic and not cut an awkward promo in broken English, it's this magnificent motherfucker:

And I still firmly believe both he and Styles will be coming to NXT.

 

[Барбоса]

American Alpha is a terrible name. Sounds like it belongs in Magic Mike.

They should've stuck with Shoot Nation.

 

[Blade]

Is American Alpha not, like, a douchey clothing line or something?

 

[Uncle Sam]

It makes me think of a fat guy wearing a Tapout shirt and screaming. Maybe it's suitable after all.

 

[Coco]

As a Canadian beta, I don't get it.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

That's kind of the beauty of it, and im sure part of the marketing plan....


their merch would appear to also be some kind of clothing brand.
