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

Or maybe Jason Jordan becomes the face of WWE's partnership with Tapout and goes on to headline WrestleMania and challenge Brock Lesnar in Supelex City's mayoral race.

A man can dream, right?

...........But Gable was the one out of the two of them who went to the Olympics.



I said from the first time he was in a singles match, back in 2012 I think, that Jason Jordan has the tools to be a top ten guy some day.

Seeing his development from now til then, I don't think that day will come while Brock is still around, unfortunately.

 

[Coco]

Even in a post-Bryan world, they're going to look right past Gable. Of all the people I have no desire to ever see called up, he's right at the top of the list.

 

[a0161613]

Terrible name but the guys themselves are incredibly talented. I think Gable has enough Kurt Angle-ness about him to make things work for him. Jordan is better than I thought too. I can't wait to see their first proper feud, I think working with Dash/Dawson will bring out the best of both.

The chant of their names to the tune of No Limit in one of my fondest memories of Cardiff. Haven't seen the post London show yet but but not sure if it made a showing there.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It was basically the entire crowd reaction in London.

Gable is good but I think people forget how phenomenally charismatic Kurt Angle was. He could easily hang with The Rock or Stone Cold. Gable is goofy and likeable but can you honestly say that about him?

 

[Coco]

I can still see Gable trying to be funny and witty in his interviews, and thinking he's nailing it more than he is. He's not yet the natural Angle was.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The idea that you can train to be a natural-- well, it's a contradiction, isn't it? Kurt Angle was just a prodigy. There's no shame in not being that good that fast.

NXT
Date: January 13, 2016
Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves

It’s the first regular show of the new year and we’re at the start of a new taping cycle. We’ve got a few months to go before we get to the next Takeover, assuming there isn’t another one before Wrestlemania weekend. In addition to that, we’re getting something like the NXT Slammy Awards tonight with the end of the year awards. Let’s get to it.

That Weird Starting Point

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Damn fine show on all points tonight.

God damn NXT gets a lot done in 57 minutes

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

Elias Samson's gimmick is very fricking cool

The exact sort of cool that doesn't get over on Raw.

Still, I'm always gonna get behind any "I will sit unnervingly and creepily on the turnbuckle" gimmick.

 

[A11oftheLights]

That false finish was terrible. Eva marie cant even throw someone over the top rope ffs, plus it wasnt helped by Asuka turning around and seeing her but doing nothing about it

 

[Uncle Sam]

They're gonna just have to have Asuka shoot on Eva Marie, aren't they?

 

[Thriller Ant]

After the confrontation during the entrances, I turned to my girlfriend and said "I hope Asuka kicks her head off" then proceeded to squeal with glee when it happened

Its so, SO close to being something damn fine.

I desperately need him to get rid of the taunts and the smiling, and get into those strikes and kicks immeadiately.

It needs to go from dark brooding to extreme violence at the flip of a switch.

Just a few tweaks and layering and I am sooo all in.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh, so Finn Balor won overall competitor of the year? Yeah, that's cool. That's fine. Alright by me. Not going to go scream into a pillow or anything. Nah.

If it makes you feel any better I voted for Bayley

 

[Uncle Sam]

That's 'cos you know what's up!

 

[Uncle Sam]

Sami Zayn versus ___________________ is going to be great.

Sami Zayn versus an_antique_mannequin is going to be great.

Sami Zayn versus ____Samoa_Joe_____ is going to be great.

Not sure where Baron Corbin fits in. Sami will make him look like a million bucks though, he always does.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

A match with either of them is going to fucking jam, and also be heart wrenching.

Remember the selling with Owens, Swags, and Cesaro???

Just imagine what itll be against two monsters.

 

[Uncle Sam]

If Sami gets hit by the muscle buster or the end of days, he'll probably curl up like a dead spider.

I love jobber battle royal promos so much I could grind them up and snort them.

Edit: I initially thought Cameron said "I'm more than a fucking dactyl" and I was like "What!?"

 

[Uncle Sam]

Moment of the year:

• Asuka follows Eva Marie down the ramp
• Asuka stares down NXT's entire roster

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Rumors creeping about that WWE is interested in the American Wolves

 

[A11oftheLights]

I initially thought Cameron said "I'm more than a fucking dactyl" and I was like "What!?"

I did this too and now I'm convinced she did. Especially after reading KB's review about the rest of her promo, which i missed because i was still tripping over the funkadactyl line

 

[Uncle Sam]

Asuka will make a fine champion once they decide to sacrifice Bayley on the altar of the main roster. She actually makes me think, "Might Nakamura be a bit old hat by the time he shows up?"

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

I love jobber battle royal promos so much I could grind them up and snort them.

Me too, they always have the suicidal overconfidence of Team Rocket Grunts.
