Just finished watching the this week's episode. Corey Graves is all right, but his pants look stupid.

The tag match at the end was tremendous. Everybody was on. Rowan's offense is starting to develop nicely.

The Zayn/Kruger match was also excellent. I'm starting to enjoy Kruger. I rarely saw Zayn's work as El Generico, but he's making me a believer.

Enzo Amore is oddly entertaining.

The women's match was disappointing.

I have to be honest, Mason Ryan is growing on me. But that's mainly because I've been enjoying Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady. Would love it one week if they lost a Handicap Match to Ryan and Enzo slapped Cassady only to get killed by the big man, turning The New York Giant face.

Mr. Nerfect

07-14-2013, 12:40 AM

Even Bayley now has a personality. NXT treats its women quite well. Ric Flair showing up and having that backstage segment with Dusty Rhodes was cool, too. I love how Dusty isn't on every show, but he could show up. The same goes with the likes of Jim Ross, Ric Flair, etc.

Mr. Nerfect

07-14-2013, 12:41 AM

Kruger impressed me against Zayn. He's still one of those guys that while I believe he's subjectively good, and plays an interesting character, I just can't see where he would fit in on the main roster. I say keep him on NXT for a while yet and maybe even have him take the NXT Championship and hold it for a little bit.

Mr. Nerfect

07-14-2013, 12:43 AM

Maybe it was because I had a bit of wine, but I didn't think Zayn looked too small against Kruger. He's obviously not as muscular, but I could buy him hanging in there with Kruger. I'm starting to become a believer, especially due to the personality Zayn shows in promos and backstage segments. I can't wait for that Triple Threat Match between Zayn, Cesaro and Kruger.

Listening to Regal makes me dislike the current WWE announce teams

I feel like the NXT announce teams are to the 1230 network time slot as the WWE announce team is to the 1130 slot in late night comedy. The 1230 shows always seemed edgier because they could get away with more with fewer eyeballs on them. Once you upgrade to the 1130 show, you have more viewers and more network pressure. Regal doesn't have to deal with the schilling that Cole and King are forced to do (WWE app, Sonic food, "OMG!!! 5 KNUCKLE SHUFFLE!!!).

Loved Paige vs. Emma. These two girls are good. Really think they should be on the main roster while Aksana should be in NXT.

Tyler Breeze was fucking fantastic. Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. He has the character down pat as far as his movements and facial expressions go. It'll be interesting to see what he can do on the mic or in proper matches. He's a good worker, but he didn't get to show much against Angelo Dawkins. Put him against Enzo Amore or something. That would actually be a highly entertaining feud.

Love Rick Victor. Conor O'Brian is always Conor O'Brian, which is pretty good.

Mr. Nerfect

08-05-2013, 08:13 AM

* I've been meaning to post this everywhere, but isn't it kind of weird that David Otunga is in the opening signature?

* Tyler Breeze is already in the NXT intro. Cool.

* I always forget Xavier Woods exists. :(

* Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady are surprisingly entertaining together. I kind of wish they were a babyface team, though. Their "New York attitudes" could be pretty endearing to some crowds.

* I have a pecular like for Tensai. I hated the heel gimmick, and while I think the face one is a misuse of him, I'm just happy he's working. I still think they would be a much better heel team, but they have too many of them already. For a face storyline, I'd like to see Brodus Clay attacked backstage by The Wyatt Family or something, and Tensai, the veteran, feels like he let his young friend down, and challenges them himself. People need a reason to really like these guys.

* Mason Ryan is growing on me. I'd support him becoming the NXT Champion, just because I think he should spend a lot more timein developmental, and having an epic title reign down there will keep him there.

* Love all the NXT girls. They actually have personalities. I also enjoy Dusty Rhodes' NXT character.

* Charlotte is already better than most of the main roster Divas. I love the way there are multiple stories for the girls, and they don't just hate each other because make-up was taken or mean things were said.

* Is it weird that Tyler Breeze is almost as pretty as Renee Young?

* Mickey Keegan and Aiden English remind me of two olde time boxers circling each other. Would love them both to get called up as Damien Sandow's new understudies. English has the perfect gimmick for it and Keegan was trained by Killer Kowalski, just like Sandow. Maybe he can even be from Sandow's intellectual family? Michael Sandow?

* That was an amazing Bray Wyatt promo. It was like he had converted everyone so his job was done and he was off to fry bigger fish.

* Corey Graves is so charismatic. Adrian Neville seems likeable, but I think he needs to work on his delivery a bit. I'm intrigued to see them grow as a team. I hope they get a tag team name, like "Twisted Ambition" or something.

* There's something I like about Scott Dawson, as well. William Regal sells him so well. I almost want Regal to "steal" Dawson from Sylvester LaFort.

* I actually marked out when The Shield returned to NXT. Adrian Neville's look to Corey Graves was great.

* Neville's promo actually impressed me. I also don't get why people say Seth Rollins is bad on the mic.

* Kind of want Jake Carter to find a tag team partner to challenge Graves & Nevillle and play off long forgotten history.

* Imagine if they did a spot where Adrian Neville won the US Title from Ambrose, but then Brad Maddox comes out and says that Dusty Rhodes had no right to authorise a US Title match, and that Ambrose is still the champion.

* Good tag team match. I like the drama created by Leo Kruger pinning Bo Dallas cleanly. It also furthered the story of Sami Zayn and Antonio Cesaro's issues.

08-05-2013, 01:46 PM

What happened to Dawson's partner?

I don't remember the last time I rewound a match so many times to replay moments- that superplex off the ring apron, that running european uppercut into the corner, the flying tornado DDT through the ring ropes, the Zayn version of the Canadian Destroyer and finally that ridiculous finish. For a while I thought Cesaro lost control when lifting Zayn over his head but thank heaven :D

Mr. Nerfect

08-23-2013, 10:30 PM

That 2/3 Falls Match was pretty fucking good. I may have hyped myself up on it too much, because I was expecting a classic. It'll definitely make a "Best of NXT" DVD and anything they ever put out of Cesaro or Zayn, which means it was tremendous, but the highlights were the spots weaved in there. I dunno, I'm not trying to sound critical. I think I wanted them to keep going forever.

I'm in complete support of Bayley, but that finish was fucking silly. It was a Divas Title match. It may have made sense if AJ faked more of an injury and used that to top Bayley.

I like The Ascension, but I don't really care about them. Can't wait to see the eventual Twisted Ambition vs. Ascension match, though.

CJ Parker is kind of there. He's got some good size to him, and for some reason reminds me of a cross between Carlito and Tyler Reks, but I think the hippy thing might be overdone a bit. Just give him the titantron and entrance and let people infer what they want about it.

Tyler Breeze -- "You're ruining my life!" :lol: At least I care about their eventual match, but I'd be pushing Breeze harder than Parker at this stage.

I was impressed by Alexander Rusev. Well, I'm not sure if it was him or Ziggler's awesome selling. Consider me intrigued.

Mr. Nerfect

08-31-2013, 11:14 PM

CJ Parker is trying really hard. Goon on him.

Tyler Breeze is great and people are really digging the gimmick. The phone being used as a weapon was sort of cheesy, but if they can give Breeze a trick phone that is actually a weapon, it could be my favorite wrestling prop of all time.

Emma is amazing. The Divas Division's future is bright with her and Paige developing. I liked the development they are hinting at with Sasha Banks too -- who is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. I could see her becoming a great addition to the main Divas roster down the line. I hope Paige beats her and then Sasha snaps. And possibly becomes a bad-ass submission machine.

Enzo Amore suddenly got really over as a babyface. Good for him. And Big Cass. I really like those two together. Rusev joining LeFort and Dawson is a good move. I hope they add Mason Ryan to their ranks. Does he really need to be a babyface right now?

Sami Zayn is a really natural performer and I loved him hitting on Renee. Zayn is so...human. Delusion Bo is really great and he is moving into proper heel territory. I have a feeling we'll all be coming round to the guy soon enough.

Not sure how I feel about Conor O'Brian beating Adrian Neville. Part of me thinks making your champion look strong was a good move, but O'Brian getting the win with the assist would have been fine. I'd have rather seen Neville vs. Victor as a match.

09-05-2013, 07:32 PM

The crowd is starting to dig Bayley. This is good. The future is bright for the Divas Division. Tensions teased between Charlotte and Bayley -- a feud between the two could be somewhat interesting. I'd love it if Bayley eventually snapped and showed a bad side to her.

Also on the Diva front, Sasha Banks is hinting at a heel turn. She is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. She looks like she should be on a panel show with a bunch of women talking about their periods as the best looking one. A loss to Paige next week could push her right over the edge. A Paige & Emma vs. Summer Rae & Sasha Banks tag match could have an amazing story behind it. Paige is getting better at promos too. She and Emma are main roster material for sure.

Corey/Cory Graves (they changed the spelling on his name graphic this week) and Rick Victor had a decent match that seemed to get better the longer it went. I have a feeling The Ascension will win the Tag Team Titles from them, so I have no problem with Graves and Neville being built up as superior singles wrestlers to the guys from the group. I'd love to see an NXT Money in the Bank Ladder Match featuring Sami Zayn, Corey Graves, Adrian Neville and some other guys. Leo Kruger and Xavier Woods would make natural fits, as would Alexander Rusev, who is pretty cool and could play the powerhouse in the match.

Speaking of Rusev, I didn't mind his match against Mason Ryan. It wasn't great, but was far better than what I thought they would have. I love how odd LeFort's Legionnaires group is, and how they've been picking up wins lately. Scott Dawson is turning into a guilty pleasure of mine. He's turning into quite the lovable redneck.

Looking forward to Kruger vs. Woods. I love how unpredictable Kruger is. Woods is a good talent that impresses me all the time, but he needs to be able to show his personality off more and develop some sort of trajectory. A feud with Kruger could help with that.

Sami Zayn vs. Jack Swagger was amazing. I actually enjoyed it more than Cesaro vs. Zayn, if you believe that. Bo Dallas coming out was perfectly done. It builds to Dallas vs. Zayn (where I hope they put the title on Zayn), as it really felt annoying when he crashed the party. It also explained Zayn's loss, making him look good against a former World Heavyweight Champion.

With Dusty Rhodes speaking out against Triple H firing Cody, I wouldn't mind it if Triple H fired Rhodes and put someone else in control of NXT. I'm not sure who, but my mind immediately went to William Regal. It could be a younger character though to give them a chance to work on their mic skills. They can put Zayn -- who is "not good for business" -- into a match to put the NXT Title back on Bo Dallas -- a chosen champion.

Someone on another forum said Dusty should lead a group of NXT guys to take out The Shield in the fight against the business. That would be fantastic.

Watching this now.

- Fun divas match. I like Bayley. Charlotte has potential, but is very "gangly" looking. Alicia Fox is pretty "gangly" as well, though. When they were fighting, was like two gangle creatures going against one another. Only, I don't mind Alicia Fox too much.

- I like Rick Victor's Starman Goggles. Victor and Graves definitely seem like the weaker part of their respective teams. Does Corey Graves have Kick-Ass tattooed on his shoulder? Got a bit bored by the match. Again it ends in a manner which leaves me thinking why should I take the Ascension as a serious threat to the titles. They aren't doing a good job building these guys up at all.

- Summer Rae trying to turn chick with awful makeup to the dark side. Good, I guess. Makes this upcoming match next week something to watch out for, rather than just a random match. No idea how this Sasha chick will do. Doesn't seem to be as good an actor as Summer Rae, judging just by this segment.

- Pretty good promo from Paige. Hate her little piercing below her lip, and am disturbed by her butt chin and her eyebrows.

- I like Alexander Rusev's look, but think his gimmick needs to be "toned down" a bit. Weird cut in this match to a shot from a cam above the ring that looks like a different resolution than the other cams. Why?

- Random shot of Leo Kruger standing over a hurt Xavier Woods. Did not understand a word Kruger said. Glad he is back on the show, though. Maybe the fans will actually treat him like a heel now that he is perhaps going to feud with Woods.

- Really good main event. Loving Sammi Zayn in the ring, and I already knew that Swagger can get it done in the ring. Liked the ending.

- Alex Riley talking about himself/putting himself over count: 12. Thankfully, there was not one instance during the main event. He did other bad things during the main event (ignoring big moves/replays to finish making a point), but he didn't talk about himself.

Mr. Nerfect

09-12-2013, 08:12 AM

* I love the crazy combo of Dawson & Rusev. The Bulgarian Brute needs a little work, but the essence of something is there. Love the way Regal puts over Dawson on commentary.

* Paige and Sasha Banks had a fantastic match. I'm in love with Paige, but Sasha can be my mistress. The story told here was really good -- Sasha actually showed that she can get the Women's Champ (damn it feels good to type that as opposed to "Divas Champ") down, and she wrestled virtually a flawless game. Paige managed to counter a few times, but Sasha would always get control of the match back. Then she lost out of nowhere because Paige is clever and good and shit. You could really understand her frustration.

* LOL, Bo. I have to say -- I haven't been as hard on Bo as others, but I jumped on the "he's eventually going to be an awesome heel train" early. I kind of worry they're going to overdo the delirium. I kind of think he would just work better if he thought he was better than everyone and kind of just razzed them. Not in an entirely conventional "I'm a heel way," but in a "I know I have true fans out there!"/"Ya'll just jealous of me" way.

* Paige vs. Emma should end with both Sasha Banks and Summer Rae attacking them, throwing their match out. A tag team match is set, which Sasha & Summer win because they're on the same page, while Paige & Emma still have an eventual title match looming. Sasha and Summer can help each other out against Charlotte, Becky Lynch and the like.

* Really enjoyed Leo Kruger tonight. More than I usually do. I think he would make a fitting addition to Triple H's Corporation. He could be a lone hunter working for Hunter. Xavier Woods has got quite a lot of the tools. I'm not sure how seriously he'd be taken as a main eventer or anything, but more and more smaller guys are doing it. He'd make a good choice to stand up to Ryback, since Sami Zayn might be a little too small for that role. Would love to see Woods vs. Zayn in a #1 Contender's Match sometime soon. I have read the spoilers and such, but I just can't remember what happens.
