20 fuckin years later, and we're still "what?" chanting people. Don't ever say that wrestling fans are incapable of evolving with the times....

Swerve vs Santos is a Takeover level quality match. They've never had a bad match with each other.

Is Walter doing anything right now? I miss Walter. That Walter vs Dragunov... I need more of that in my life.

Last I heard WALTER still doesn't want to move to the US full-time but he's basically got an open invite to fly in whenever he wants to do anything.

Feel like transatlantic flights twice a week indefinitely would break down anyone when you consider the constant jet lag and the overall exhaustion that goes with all the bullshit you gotta deal with at the airport, especially for international flights. But if he were willing to do that's a guy you feature as often as possible.

WALTER is the key to saving wrestling.

Its funny how much WWE forgot about just throwing a developmental guy in the water to sink or swim over the years. Bron Steiner just proves sometimes if they take a chance the guy might rise to the occasion. Last year they probably would have kept him off NXT until he was 25. At this pace he will be kicking ass on Raw or Smackdown by the time he is 25.

Joe Gacy seems like a smaller, less-good version of cult leader Bray

Xyon Quinn seems like a better version of Karrion Kross

Legado going back to their kidnapping roots. :lol:


Gacy's promos are phenomenal. They make me laugh so hard. I don't understand why you even have this match if he's just gonna lose it anyways though.

Mandy Rose is a very wooden promo. Maybe keep letting Gigi talk.

Champ / #1 Contender unwilling tag team before championship match angle :roll:

Raquel vs. Mandy Rose is gonna be awful.

The vanilla big men collide! Its Von Wagner vs. Ridge Holland! Next on NXT 2.0!

NXT held up its pitiful rating from last week. 632k viewers. More of the first week and less of the other weeks, please.

Mandy Rose's v-trigger looks much better than Omega's.

I'm watching this again. First match was Imperium vs. Creed Brothers. Ended with a run-in/distraction/roll up.

Joe Gacy...follow me, lil snowflake :lol:

Sk8er Grrl is here!

Lucky win again via rollup. Creative.

Now Io Shirai in a triple threat against tag team members that generally take the fall for their teams, hmm

Shirai obviously wins, Triple Threat Ladder Match for the Women's Tag Team Titles. Think that will be good.

Two weeks running where I'm wondering why Duke Hudson is playing poker without a shirt on.

I didn’t really get the point of the Triple Threat where you earn the right to spin a wheel where the outcome is random.

I’m curious to see what Rex Steiner’s win does for this show.

Who is the lady in the MMA stable with Stokely Hathaway? She looks cool.

Black hair Mandy Rose looks like Nikki Cross

This Dexter Lumis house is cracking me up.

Dorky Damian Sandow is not a good actor

Blond Uso is here

This tag match seems good. Lumberjack matches are dumb worthless and should be executed by lethal injection.

Cornette has deemed NXT unwatchable even for podcast review purposes so... I’ll be depending on occasional TPWW summaries to keep up with this train wreck.

Ciampa holding everyone back with his silly cosplay during a title match. Unwatchable

Damn at Bron slipping.

Bron bleeding like a scalded dog.

Should someone of Io’s ability be taking that kind of bump in a developmental brand?

Should the best wrestler in the world have to share a ring with 5 people for whom "green as grass" would be a compliment?

Finishing this up since the hokey skits put me to sleep last night.

I feel like they're pushing this Toxic Attraction stuff way too hard, but Gigi Dolin is quite nice to look at. Mandy Rose as NXT Champion is wildly laughable though. And Jacy Jayne is...underprepared.

I say this every time I watch him wrestle but Wes Lee is great. Always smooth as hell.

Imperium just seems so meh without WALTER. They're phenomenal wrestlers, but they bore me.

Breakker vs. Ciampa was pretty good. Bron has the IT Factor. 144 2/3% chance that he's a star. Loved seeing him bust out some old school Uncle Scott shit. Feels like it was a star making performance. Ciampa is a great guy to be this gatekeeper champion, he works rather well with everyone.

I mean, yeah. If you want the green talent to learn, they need to learn from someone that knows what they’re doing. Seems a million miles away from the risk of that bump.

I can see Vince losing interest in this show as a television property. Could see it going to Hulu or something and WWE replacing it with “better” content.

I watched this whole ass show this week and was really happy when it was over. I'm just going to start fast forwarding through it.

I was going to post this last night, but the end of NXT for me was when Kross beat Keith Lee.

#DIY reunited for the <s>New Blood vs. Millionaires Club</s> NXT 2.0 vs NXT War Games match! Time for a call up to the main roster as a team…then release them in 3 weeks.

Unless they have resigned, both Gargano and Dunne might be gone following the Wargames match anyways. Ciampa is still champion so he wont get released until he drops the belt. LA Knight would seem like the one most likely to get called up and then released.

I almost feel like WWE is purposely calling people up just so they can get that extra 60 days of noncompete on them when they get released.
