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

[A11oftheLights]

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...

Here is the WWE.com exclusive that is for some reason available on youtube

Well it's a great way to use the footage since they have the channel.

Back in the day when house shows had title changes (i.e. almost never) you'd just suddenly read it on WWE.com or see photos on the next Raw and a bit of commentary explaining what happened.

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

Yeah I know. But it was still about double the regular price for high up seats. And I thought Balor and Bayley would be on the main roster already.

Just means next time I get a chance to go I'm going no matter what. I'll put part of the blame on my friend who talked me out of going too.

My point is more about calling it an exclusive to wwe.com. Its not and if we didnt get free access to wwe.com I'm pretty confident you could take legal action against them, not that it really matters

I'm devastated. Not just because I'm such a big mark for Finn, but because I wish I could've seen him as NXT champion in Dublin. But fair play to that crowd, they're reaction was fantastic. It was almost like the NXT version of Lesnar ending the streak.

If Finn's coming up to Raw, I feel like Bayley will be down there a while longer. She's the other big face of the company, since Nakamura is still getting settled in.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm rather late to the party on this one, especially given current events, but I was bitterly disappointed at the length of American Alpha vs. Enzo & Cass on this week's episode. It should have been a war; a match worthy of a farewell to such NXT mainstays; it felt like a glorified squash.

I felt similar disappointment back when they ran Finn/Joe vs Enzo/Cass.

If they're not gonna even bother, just let The Revival match at Roadblock be their last match, and hand Enzo a microphone and ten minutes of airtime to say goodbye.

I see Bayley debuting the night after Summerslam now. But I could be wrong.

 

[Harthan]

I have the feeling that if Finn moves up the main roster, he'll still stick around for his rematch in NXT, much like Owens did. It creates an interesting situation where, if he does go up and become associated with Anderson and Gallows in some way, he could bring them back with him, like when the Shield came to NXT a few years ago.

 

[nightmare]

After RAW I had a terrible feeling that we were going to get a swerve in the AJ/Reigns match that had Gallows & Anderson side with Roman. I honestly would not put it past WWE to do something like that.


Then I caught news of Finn dropping the strap & the world feels a bit better. Hopefully he rejoins his brothers to help dethrone the Roman Empire. Could you imagine if Bullet Club held all the belts on the main roster?

 

[Coco]

If they air this on TV, I'm going to be a bit disappointed. With the ease of access people have to everything in this day and age, there's something sexy about content being in the vault.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

If the obvious path happens, nothing short of someone being shot with a pirate cannon needs to end the title match between Nakamura and Joe.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

...and the time when that logically could crest is....



August. ...In Brooklyn

Was anyone else weirded out by the way they flipped the corners the partners stood in?

Quite so.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

No Way Jose seems very talented, and has a good look.

Shame they couldn't come up with something more for him than. ...that

God yes, it drove me nuts

TMDK worked as a team tonight at an nxt live event.

Yessss

Yessss

Any word on their names? Do they get to keep TMDK? It's a badass name.

Really? First match and I'm sold on the gimmick. No Way Jose should be his catchphrase and not his name, though.

No idea, but they had +61 on their trunks at the live event, which is the phone extension for Australian numbers.

It's one of those gimmicks that based on one showing, I am really not sure about. This is coming from someone who loves the likes of Santino and Heath Slater and thinks they're great.

I am hoping it will grow on me.

Still, based on how weird it is, there's already a fuckin' epic heel turn locked away in there.

 

[Blade]

Ugh, Sam. Can't you go two weeks without shitting on Bálor?

 

[Good Golly It's Ollie]

Lol the camera side facing the entrance way is so weird but I want them to do it more often. Feels like I'm playing Smackdown 2 again.

Man that was an awesome game.
