[Lock Jaw]

Someone hook me up with a stream, if it exists....

[Lock Jaw]

Never mind. Found one. First thing I see is Christian's face. :love:

[Lock Jaw]

Extremely laggy stream

[Droford]

Its takeOVER

[Droford]

Neville, Breeze, Charlotte, Rosebud and Ricardo Rodriguez's team

[Lock Jaw]

Love Hunico/Camacho's theme

[Droford]

He's Rosing up!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Regal

Rose vs Camacho was good.

[Lock Jaw]

Adam Rose just works so much better on NXT

[Poit]

Almost anyone works better with the NXT crowd.

[Droford]

NXT's next special should be NXT Leave

Arrival...Takeover..Leave

[RVDmark]

NXT's next special should be NXT Leave

Arrival...Takeover..Leave

NXT Departure, y'know, classy like.

[RVDmark]

Regal is just amazing.

[Droford]

I'm rooting for Ricardo but he's probably getting his head knocked off

[RVDmark]

This just in...

CM Punk to appear in an I QUIT match.

[Dark One]

LU-CHA! LU-CHA! LU-CHA! LU-CHA! LU-CHA! LU-CHA! LU-CHA!

Ascension bores the shit out of me now. I used to be super impressed with them back when NXT first started showing up on Hulu, but between then and now with Viktor, they just seem like generic vaguely goth-y brawlers. Hopefully actually facing a real team will give them something to do.

[Innovator]

YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH

[Droford]

Bouncing the guy off the ropes into the railing should have been a cooler looking spot than that..

[Droford]

Fall of Riccardo

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit surprised Ascension retained.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty one sided tag match. Was expectign at least a better showing for the Luchas

[Innovator]

Having war flashbacks to my stream looping on Tyler Breeze's face

[Dark One]

Did they give Kalisto and Zayn both new music, or am I just losing my shit?

[Innovator]

Did Sami just come out to the Bosstones?

[Lock Jaw]

Can't realy hear it, but sounds like Sammi has new, more generic, music.

[Innovator]

Holy shit Tyler Breeze is singing his own theme

[Dark One]

And Breeze?

[Poit]

What the fuck, they changed Breeze's music?

[Dark One]

Tyler Breeze is the new HBK, that's what the theme is telling me.

[Lock Jaw]

And Tyler Breeze with new music too.... destroys his entrance....

[Emperor Smeat]

Sami's old theme sounded better.

Breeze's new one sounds good. A bit odd but good.

[Droford]

Looking forward to this match the most

[Lock Jaw]

Should use his old music for entrance, that music for exit.

[Dark One]

Should use his old music for entrance, that music for exit.

I could buy into that.

So, when's the Brad Maddox run in so he can begin his path to the NXT Championship?

[Droford]

That was ridiculous

[Innovator]

This is already the best Breeze match

[Innovator]

DONT STOP

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at that move

[Dark One]

They may as well just let this match go for another 75 minutes.

[Droford]

Hell of a match, didn't disappoint

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty great match. Sammi Zayn perpetual loser.

[Razzamajazz]

That InZayne shirt is the first wrestling shirt I've bought in 13 years.

[Razzamajazz]

dat ass

[Dark One]

It's possible Neville/Kidd could be really good, but I'll be stunned if anything else tonight or at Payback comes close to Zayn/Breeze, who should pretty much just wrestle forever.

[Lock Jaw]

Brandi Rhodes pretty ravishing as well

[Dark One]

Also, going from that to Rusev is a tragedy.

[Razzamajazz]

gee i wonder who is going to win

[Innovator]

KILL HIM RUSEV CRUSH HIM

[Nowhere Man]

Ouch. So Zayn and Breeze tear the house down, and the best we can follow that up with is Rusev and the guy who hits you with his ass?

[Dark One]

Also, going from that to Rusev is a tragedy.

Also, going from Rusev to this is a tragedy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Maybe its just me but Mojo's face sort of resembles The Bushwackers

:lol: at the start

[Dark One]

I need a gif of Mojo's stupid face getting kicked in, stat.

[Lock Jaw]

Worst attempted save ever

[Razzamajazz]

Ouch. So Zayn and Breeze tear the house down, and the best we can follow that up with is Rusev and the guy who hits you with his ass?

you gotta have a shit match to let the crowd recover before another big match. wwe booking

[Lock Jaw]

I hope this makes him humble

[Nowhere Man]

At least that was mercifully short.

[Dark One]

If Mojo Rawley is who's going to stand up for us, I'd rather just get annexed.

[Razzamajazz]

bret vs flair: vagina edition

[Lock Jaw]

Video packages tonight pretty good

[Droford]

Kris Kristofferson.. ok

[Innovator]

I'd be ok with Rusev ragdolling Mojo for the rest of the show

[Innovator]

What the fuck is this 2001 dance remix?

[Innovator]

Lil Naitch is the ref, THE FIX IS IN

[Razzamajazz]

this match needs lil naitch as referee

[Lock Jaw]

More new bad theme music.... just as Charlotte's old theme was growing on me, too.

[Dark One]

Why are they changing everyone's music? Another downgrade.

[Dark One]

Someone must have forgotten the iPod with all the real music.

[Droford]

If Nattie and TJ win..we complain on the internet

[Lock Jaw]

Digging Nattie's ring jacket

[Razzamajazz]

this ring announcer sucks

[Razzamajazz]

already better than any bella twin match

[Droford]

Its a good thing Flair wasn't from Elmira

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Flair

[Razzamajazz]

haha charlotte humping nattie's head into the mat

[Droford]

Backpack stunner?

[Lock Jaw]

That was actually a pretty great matchup as well.

[Lock Jaw]

Charlotte face turn?

[Dark One]

Really nice to see how happy Ric Flair is.

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's title match was really good.

[erickman]

now maby she can get rid of that mole

[Poit]

I actually liked a Charlotte match. Wow.

[Poit]

But now it's time for the JUMPIN' GEORDIE!

[Droford]

I can't get excited for a Tyson Kidd match

[Nowhere Man]

Tyson's tights look like they came out of WCW/nWo Revenge.

[Droford]

Compared to every other match tonight this is a letdown

[Razzamajazz]

even the rusev match?

[Dark One]

even the rusev match?

Seeing Mojo Rawley get his stupid face kicked in was pretty great.

[Razzamajazz]

so many undeserved NXT chants

[Dark One]

I can't wait for Tyler Breeze to take infinite selfies with the title.

[Droford]

Neville tapped out but ignored

[Razzamajazz]

"cast neville for the next hobbit" sign

silly wrestling nerd, doesn't he know they've already been shot and finished?

[Droford]

Lol at the air Kidd got on that hurricanra

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty good main event.... though not as good as the women's match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really nice to see how happy Ric Flair is.

I just assume that's how he celebrates everything.

Congratulations, Mr. Flair! Your divorce has been finalized!

[Dark One]

A+ to Heyman for fitting in a My client Brock Lesnar conquered the streak! on the post-show.

[Dark One]

Tyson Kidd is well on his way to snapping and becoming a masked bad ass submission machine.

[Tazz Dan]

Don't trust this Dark One character TPWW. He apparently thinks he's Australian :lol:

[mhirn3]

Watching the replay now.

holy shit what a match between Zayn and Breeze.


Lana though, damn those legs are nice.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Great show just caught the replay.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I can't get excited for a Tyson Kidd match

Compared to every other match tonight this is a letdown

If you can't get excited for it now can it be a letdown? You have to get excited first to get letdown. You weren't letdown you stayed down.

[Droford]

But seriously the rest of the show was great and then the main event felt like it should have opened the show and let either the Zayn/Breeze or the women's match be the main event. It was a letdown in the context of the show as a whole. Still a great show and now I'm looking forward to Neville/Breeze which should be much better.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Another big show and that guy is off the show. Things don't look good for that young man.

I think that with the Punk stuff they don't know what to do with him since on the surface he comes off as generic CM Punk rip off. Trotting him out to get cheap heat would work short term but he does need to work better on the mic.

[ron the dial]

solid show. obviously zayn and breeze stole the show. i loved zayn's new music btw. considering some of the band shirts i've seen him rock, it fits him much better. indifferent to breeze's. will probably grow on me. loved the women's title match. i've been big on charlotte for a while now and i think she'll be a good champion. the main event was good for what it was. they put on a hell of a match, but i'll agree that it didn't really feel like a main event. glad neville retained. nxt keeps killing it on these big shows.

[teamXtremist]

Tyler breeze is the man great match him and Sami put on

[KIRA]

Seeing Mojo Rawley get his stupid face kicked in was pretty great.


LOL yeah that was great I HATE THAT GUY

[Heisenberg]

Adam Rose and Tyler Breeze can go in the ring, no doubt. I like Zoolander Breeze, but I have yet to understand the appeal of Rose's gimmick. If he was partying he would've slapped some asses and dry humped the rabbit.

I seriously don't think the motherfucker knows how to party.

I think RAW should incorporate the black ring mat. It looks so much better.

[Purgatory]

Maybe he can Tea Party?

Seriously, I can see how a PG audience can get into the character. Personally, I find him rather boring and dry. Not that his "Leo Kruger" character was any better, mind you.

[teamXtremist]

Graves looks like a prettier jeff hardy I've seen his ring work didn't really impress me in his match with sami

[Lock Jaw]

I think that with the Punk stuff they don't know what to do with him since on the surface he comes off as generic CM Punk rip off.

I fail to see how he comes off as a generic CM Punk rip off. Is it because he has tattoos?

[Dark One]

I fail to see how he comes off as a generic CM Punk rip off. Is it because he has tattoos?

It's the same way that Emma is a ripoff of Fandango because they both dance, Dolph Ziggler is a ripoff of Ric Flair because they're cocky and blonde, the Ascension are a ripoff of the APA because they were a gothy team that now just beat the shit out of people, and Big E was a ripoff of Titus O'Neil because they're both black.

Which is to say not at all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This was a great show. Fuck you all, I loved Neville/Kidd. I'm curious to see where this all goes. Breeze/Zayn was just insane though. Fucking insane. Part of me is hoping that Zayn's losing streak (in big matches anyway) leads to him entering into a similar situation to Bo Dallas -- a match where is Zayn wins, he gets a title shot, but if he loses, he's out of NXT. That would get people interested in the next Live Special. Make Zayn's opponent Cesaro for that, given their history. Zayn can win that match against Cesaro and Heyman can try and talk it down after the fact as Zayn having more to gain and lose than Cesaro, but Cesaro interrupts and says that tonight Zayn was just better -- teasing those face traits again.

[Mr. Nerfect]

NXT Stay Down would be a good name for one of their Live Specials.

[VSG]

They should name future PPVs in the line of "NXT In Your House".
