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

One of my all time favorite spots was Angle doing the same at Wrestlemania XXI.

Buzz killed.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah Angle has done that a few times.

Buzz killed.

In a similar vein, look up the Reviving Elbow if you've never seen it before.

No Way José is a cute gimmick. But if we don't see him battle Fandango, it'll all be for nothing.

Samson is an odd choice for Nakamura. When Regal mentioned giving him an opportunity, I assumed it would be again Finn. Cause goddammit, I hate seeing Finn only wrestle once a month, even though it makes it more special when he does appear.

Also, they need to start building a new diva. Don't really care if it's Liv Morgan, or that Ferrari one, or someone else. But one of the newer faces should get a big win soon so people really start to take notice.

What's the deal with "No Way José"??

Very strange gimmick. Seems a bit of a forced meme to me at the moment. I'm not sure if it's brilliant or awful. His moves are pretty funnny though.

Is it now hypocritical of me to love the Vaudevillains? Because I at least feel there's legitimacy to their badass-ness.

Samoa Joe just won the NXT Championship!

EDIT: At a live event in Lowell, Massachusetts. Holy crap. Why didn't this happen at Takeover? I don't know what to do with my hands, but this is awesome.

EDIT2: Too many exclamation marks, what am I, 14?

SAMOA JOE WON THE GODDAMN BELT AT A HOUSE SHOW


EDIT: FUCK YOU HARTHAN

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Balor will be up to the MR soon. Bullet Club thing maybe.



Just


Fuck

SAMOA JOE WON THE GODDAMN BELT AT A HOUSE SHOW

I'll let you make the announcement next time, you're a much better hype man.

I dont understand why you would have Joe win the title on a house show when you just had a takeover?

Come on mate. They're called women now

I read somewhere that HHH wanted demon Balor to be undefeated!

 

[Coco]

Looking forward to the next NXT home video release. And I'm very happy for both guys.

 

[Coco]

Anyone have anything on this Finn injury talk?

 

[Harthan]

Anyone have anything on this Finn injury talk?

All I have heard is Meltzer saying it seemed like a work and that the title change was not impromptu, but I haven't seen anything hard on it one way or the other.

 

[Coco]

Merci.

I'm so pissed off I didn't go to this show now. I almost did but decided I didn't wanna sit in the nose bleed seats for a 2 hour drive...this will teach me.

We were in nosebleeds for Takeover but NXT is normally in small enough arenas that there isn't a bad seat in the house.

I can't say that I understand the decision not to. NXT house show locations are dead tiny.

It was a tough decision but the only place I could find tickets was stubhub and they were like 50-60 a piece before tax I think. And originally on the arena website floor seats were 35. So the 2 hour drive for nose bleed seats jacked up in price like double didn't seem like it'd be worth it. Even with the tiny arena.

Balor Club on the way for Payback

I read somewhere that HHH wanted demon Balor to be undefeated!

Ooohh, one can only hope! I find it very strange that they would do this if the injury weren't real, but with the way NXT people are built, I can actually buy that undefeated Demon Mode rumour.

 

[A11oftheLights]

Geez that video of the change is cool but sad at the same time. Looks like a few blokes may have already been touching themselves by the way their faces were

 

[Uncle Sam]

I can't be the only one quietly wishing that Demon Finn wrestled differently to regular Finn. Even an Undertaker-esque spooky no-sell would do it for me.

If anybody has the video of the title change to hand...

 

[.]

So Finn to cost AJ at Payback?

The narrative can even be that Finn is still angry that AJ took "everything" from him (AKA Bullet Club) yet AJ didn't have to go to NXT, etc and Finn wasn't going to let AJ get to the top of the mountain before him?

Balor club looks to be real.

MY man, there is no such thing as nose bleed seats at an nxt house show, it's part of the appeal
