Her motivation for turning heel is pretty sound, when you think about it.

So, this Dana Brookes looks interesting. What's the story with her?
Also, just caught a glimpse of The Vaudevillains in an NXT promo package. Remember those guys? |

Really rough couple of weeks for NXT.
Last week's filler show was just kind of average, and this week they go with a tournament that you already know the result of if you saw Wrestlemania. The matches were good, but I don't know if they were particularly mindblowing. That's probably in no small part due to the result not being in doubt. The Hideo's Journey to Wrestlemania was pretty good, but that could have just as easily been a Network special. His English seems to be getting quite a bit better too, which should help him a ton. It's just kind of awkward seeing them hype up NXT's momentum the past two weeks, but then put out mediocre shows. Have they already taped the next shows? I haven't been keeping track of spoilers, so I don't know if I should have hope for them to get back on the track in the coming weeks, or if we're in a downturn phase. |

I guess I should clarify that "rough couple of weeks" is really "slightly better matches than your average Raw."

Next set of tapings isn't until either the 23rd or 30th this month.
The biggest problems with this set was Mania making them rush the tapings to cover 2 months worth and showing those tapings (and matches) out of order. Former body builder that got hired last year I think by Triple H or whoever handles the NXT Women signings. Don't think she has any wrestling experience but not necessarily a bad thing considering the quality of trainers at NXT. |

Indeeeeeed.
If we've got two or three more weeks of pre-taped shows, this might be rough. I dug up spoilers for the last taping. I see maybe one more week of shows, unless I'm improperly recalling that one of these shows already aired. It looks like there's one they overwrote with the Arnold Classic show, but they could probably air it anyway. Looks like some decent matches and a little bit of story advancement with people that matter--compared to the few weeks especially. I'm hoping this is a one-off thing and they learn from this and don't bumble into this next Mania season. |

I blame WWE creative for dropping the ball on Emma, which further points to the fact that the divas need to let their personality come out. They just slapped Emma with a bad dancing gimmick on WWE and put her in a comedy shtick with Santino. They should have given her mic time to further develop her gimmick and stuck her in some feud on Smackdown. Her and Cameron should have a vicious rivalry over the fact that Emma playfully said that Naomi was the better dancer and Emma would have been a better Funkadatyl. Revive the Paige Emma feud.
Shoot, did WWE really watch her in the indies? Moreover, why did they let Mia Yim go to TNA? |

Let's bring this thread back to the front page!
Nice ending to the women's triple threat and a solid match. Lots of filler in this episode again, with Jobber vs. Dude-with-wins left and right.Owens/Riley was a lot less engaging than the one they aired first from the Arnold Classic, which was really their second match. I think this one was really relying on Alex Riley having his first tough match in ages and the crowd being invested in that--but that doesn't work so well when he's already fought and lost to Kevin Owens again. That's really been the problem the last few weeks. The episodes have been shuffled around, and "specials" have been shunted in, so the subtle flow from episode to episode was majorly disrupted. I will say, though, that it's quite the accomplishment that they've been able to do that without too many glaring problems. Hopefully with a new round of tapings and Mania out of the way and some people called up now, they'll be able to get back to what we're used to. |

Kevin Owens is fucking great. I like how "real" he comes across. No frills. Just "I'm gonna beat your ass because I have a family to feed, plus you suck". Simple, yet effective.

He definitely "gets it" and can generate some good heat
Best up and coming heel for sure. Can't see him as a face really. |

They need to have NXT run a men and women's match at least once a month get some of these stars seen by the general audience. |

I think Carmella will be better with Blake and Murphy, too...assuming that's what's going to happen.

Yeah Kevin Owens is maybe my favourite guy on the mic right now, I really like his pragmatic heel character.

Well they don't really try simple and straight forward often. So, if they did it might work.

SPOILER: show Sounds like a healthy number of throwaway matches with new girls, but, even with that in mind, it sounds like there's some progression and flow again. Sounds like we'll have a few decent matches at the special. IT'S MORNING IN NXT AGAIN~! |

I like that Becky Lynch is the #1 Contender. I really like her look, and she seems cool, but she just hasn't had the "click" moment with her character yet. A proper run at The Boss might help with that.
I'm still feeling the Carmella turn on Enzo & Cass. I hope Blake & Murphy make great dickbag heels. I'm not sure where exactly they go with Alex Riley now. I wouldn't mind seeing him end up in a program with Bull Dempsey, to be honest. Dempsey wants to get back to his winning ways, so he targets a "loser," and Riley has to Rage his way back into the winning column. |

Really wish Dana Brooke would stop doing overly elaborate, overly choreographed poses and mannerisms for like 15 minutes straight.
It looks like she's a third base coach in a Major League movie. |
