Better show than I was expecting

Asuka vs Emma
Thought this would be another one sided Asuka match, but ended up being a great back and forth match. Feel like the end bit with dana interfering one last time was unneeded. Should have just ended with the Asuka lock. Minor grievance though. Still a good match.

Enzo and Cass vs Tag Champs whose names I forgot.
k, so despite not knowing their names I'm starting to like these guys, and their whole "old school heel" gimmick. Glad they retained, but I feel like it was too clean. Enzo and Cass need to look stronger since it's their return. Feel like every match just consists of Enzo getting his shit kicked in for most of the match, before the hot tag and big finish. I know that's the obvious route, with Enzo being the small guy, but they should vary it up a bit sometimes.

Crews vs Corbin
Just ok. Not bad, but not really up to the standards nxt has set. Actually think corbin works best with other bruisers like joe and rhyno. Corbin needed the win, and I really hope they continue pushing the end of days. Would be a great gimmick for a guy to have a finisher that no one can kick out of. Dunno if it would work on the main roster, but it's perfect for nxt.

Baley vs Nia Jax
I'll be honest. This match surprised me. I thought it would be horrible, but I have to give Nia Jax credit. She may be limited due to her inexperience, but she works around it pretty well, and what she can do, she does well. Except for selling submissions. Waving your arm like a mental patient, not quite the best sell I've seen but hey, she's new. Anyway, a good underdog match that I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. Very surprised Baley won. Thought for sure they were building up Nia Jax to be an unbeatable monster to serve to Asuka.

Balor vs Joe
Don't even have to talk about the match itself. Everyone knew going in it would be great, and it was. Surprised that once again the champ retained. Though I don't think this is the end of the feud. Can't tell if Joe was super gassed or just selling really well, toward the end. Leaning toward the former.

I'd prefer they not get moved up and get the Ascension treatment at this point. Love Enzo and Cass but until the main roster gets fixed for good, I fear what would happen to them. Probably a feud with New Day and then jobber status. Right now I just really wanna see them win the NXT tag titles.

Just started on a replay.

JESUS! Asuka vs Emma was STIFF AS SHIT(!!!) and pretty much a thing of goddamn simple beauty... and I don't just mean the ladies involved! Outside of slightly clumsy "screwjob" stuff, the match was fun to watch, and the finish was tremendous. Even better given I was awake/aware of it this time. I tuned in earlier as Asuka was getting her hand raised.

Also, dig Enzo's attire, as it is unique, adds movement, and pretty well fits his gimmick, but it seems like something that could potentially cause a botch/injury from someone getting caught in those straps from a pure, unlucky accident standpoint.

The crowd became annoying about halfway through, but I couldn't understand half the shit they were saying anyway so it didn't bother me too much.

Solid show, the writers/producers/whothefuckever for RAW should definitely look to NXT for inspiration on how to get it right.

No way. I appreciated the "different" card and talents showcased. All of the matches were still very solid and had great pacing. Holy shit @ Enzo getting murdered at the end of the tag match.

They could put on one helluva program, no doubt about it. I couldn't stand Joe for a long while. He seemed to do one or two moves and then pose with an angry face and repeat until the corner pummeling and muscle buster. He improved over time and I quite enjoy watching him in action. He is one helluva performer.

If Roode came in that would be even better. That guy has a natural asshole charisma to him and could EASILY become a monster heel given time. On the face side, if they reunited Beer Money to go up against Dash and Dawson for the titles, that would be a very entertaining feud to both hear and watch.

I look for both Roode and AJ Styles to show up on NXT at some point before they hang up their boots. I would LOVE to see an AJ Styles / Finn Balor feud.

Assume no since he's only been on tv like twice.

I liked Asuka going into this show. I fucking love her now. That chick can go. Emma is absolutely delicious as well.

I like Enzo and Cass, but I really want to see Dash and Dawson have a good, lengthy run. They're the best team on the WWE roster outside of Jordan and Gable, who looks like their next feud, which I am pumped for. For anyone having trouble telling them apart...basically, the one that looks like his name should be Dash Wilder is actually Scott Dawson. Think about it.

Baron Corbin is growing on me. You can tell that he's trying hard to improve his overall game, and I think he's making great strides. I would have liked to have seen Crews a little more fired up going into the match, but whatever. I enjoyed it.

How can you not love Bayley? I mean, come on. She's the best.

Balor v. Joe was just titties. Balor just oozes charisma, almost to the point where they probably won't even be able to fuck it up on the main roster eventually.

Scott Dawson is bald, Dash Wilder is not. Done deal.

can somebody explain this to me? I've seen, read and been told by a bunch of people about how good these two are or how much some people are into them. Last time I watched NXT, Jordan was just a body and not much else. Are they just "solid wrestlers" or does something else stand out etc?

People seem to be gay for Gable, and is a decent shot of charisma. Jordan does have "that look", though not much else. And from what I understand, they both have a decent amateur background. They could have a decent career provided they tweak their game as long as the tag division doesn't get stagnant or they get the nearly requisite breakup angle.

they play off each other extremely we'll in promos/interviews with gable as the goofier guy who is lightening up the more serious jordan. it's a nice dynamic. and they are both obviously great ring technicians with loads of chemistry as a team. they just feel like a really natural fit with tons of potential with some more experience.

Just gave this a watch.

Emma/Asuka - Sweet match, and Emma's sunglasses were very nice.

Tag Match - Also very good match. I do feel like Enzo/Cass are due a big win some day down the line, but for now I am glad Dash & Dawson kept the belts. They've been on a real roll, and I can't wait to see them go up against Jordan & Gable.

Corbin/Crews - Pretty indifferent to this match... wasn't "bad", but just struggle to care about Baron Corbin. Laughed at Crews entrance when he is "going super saiyan" and screaming at the top of his lungs, but all that happens are some weak-ass columns of steam slowly coming up.

Bayley/Jax - Very enjoyable "story". Thought Bayley was done for on more than one occasion, and to see her overcome the odds was aces. She is well on her way to becoming the female John Cena, and I like that.

Joe/Finn - Good match... felt kind of "drowsy" for a bit of it, so maybe I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have..... Feel like Finn Balor's Demon entrance is always missing a shot where they really show his back clearly. I mean, I know this time he had a jacket on, but other times too. You just spend the first few minutes of the match trying to see the detail on his back otherwise....


Overall a good show. Sure, it didn't have any "big moments", but they can't all have that. Got some good rassling and some good stories. That is all I need.

Prior to the show they recorded a four way tag match with the Hype Bros, Vaudevillains, Blake and Murphy and Jordan and Gable.

I can honestly say I have never heard a crowd more behind a tag team than they were for Jordan and Gable and I just hope when they air the match on next weeks NXT that the sound is edited too much.

Just picked up some tix to NXT TakeOver: Dallas. Holy shit. Overload. I might just have to sleep in Saturday and miss the HOF or catch it on the Network.

Asuka/Emma - Absolutely disgraceful that Divas like Emma & Cameron are on the main roster and these two are not....

Enzo/Cass/Dash/Dawson- I am absolutely the hugest fans of Enzo & Cass....They have the crowds in the palms of their hands in a way that cannot be taught.... Neither is the best in the ring, but when they get that type of reaction consistently, it doesn't matter.

Corbin/Crews - not a huge fan of either, pretty decent match and was very surprised Corbin won.... seems to me like he's Balor's next feud after Joe....

Bayley/Nia - The crowd singing at the beginning was awesome and Bayley managed to pull a pretty decent match out of an inexperienced Nia Jax.... I expect her to replace Tamina on the main roster once her old man gets sentenced to murder in a "WWE pushing away from murderers" stance given what they have done with Hogan

Finn/Joe - Should be on the main roster without question, but everybody knew that already.....

When was the last time those two had a match on RAW or SMACKDown? At least try to know the product before having a bitch fest.

That actually give his message more impact. They aren't being used they shouldn't even be employed. I assume he meant Eva instead of Emma.

Emma is being used in NXT pretty well right now, and Cameron opted to get more training done. Thanks for proving your STD Dunce award you win every year is well worth it.

Cameron is useless both she and Eva Marie should be canned. They are terrible.

Eva Marie has value simply because she is so hated. Definite possibilities with that. No match of the year awards or anything, but could definitely have some good stories.

I'd like to see Eva take the NXT Women's championship truthfully. She would have so much heat and Bayley beating her to become a 2 time NXT Women's champion would be great.

Eva Marie should be the NXT Women's Champion right now, with Nia Jax as her muscle. Bayley & Asuka could team up to take care of Emma & Dana and then Nia & Eva. I don't know who you put the Women's Title on out of Bayley or Asuka, but either could work.

Chad Gable & Jason Jordan vs. The New Day is a tag team program I desperately want to see. If you move up Dash & Dawson and Enzo & Cass, you have four very distinct teams that are all going to be genuinely over.

I love the Vaudevillains as performers, but I just haven't been into them as a tag team recently. I dunno what it is.

Aiden English was doing really fucking good on his own before the pairing with Simon Gotch. I'd like to see what Gotch could do on his own. Maybe they should have a "gentleman's split", and agree to non-violently go their own ways?
