WWE:NXT Discussion Thread

[Mr. Nerfect]

I do love Scott Dawson. He just does little things I enjoy. I don't think he's a World Champion waiting to happen or anything, but he could be a useful mid-card act. Especially with Alexa Bliss.

[VSG]

Love Scott Dawson, he is a natural in the ring and is decent on the mic. I am not too convinced about Alexa Bliss in her current gimmick though, Emma is already working on a similar audience target on Raw and not successfully yet.

I loved the tag team of El Local and Calisto but Ricardo really needs to hit the gym and lose the belly if he wants to be an in-ring competitor.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't wait for El Local to turn on Kalisto and lose his mask only for it to be revealed El Local is Ricardo Rodriguez.

[Innovator]

WHERE THE FUCK IS ENZO

[XL]

Would love Enzo to handle backstage interview duties or commandeer the commentary booth.

[VSG]

Enzo and Dawson have both been training the past month or so to get back and be medically cleared for action. I expect not too long now, but the recent spoilers suggest Colin Cassady has a new manager :'(

[Mr. Nerfect]

I could totally see Enzo ripping on Big Cass for being whipped by his new manager.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I've decided how I want Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte to go (provided that is the plan -- we still have Natalya vs. Banks to go...):

* Banks and Charlotte do their best to tear it up at Takeover, and the end result sees Charlotte win after she cheats and hits Sasha with the NXT Women's Title while the referee is distracted with Ric Flair or something.

* Charlotte has a coronation with her dad there. Sasha crashes the party and asks why she wasn't invited along. Charlotte tells Sasha she would have done the same. Banks says that she wouldn't have hit Charlotte with a title, and Flair interjects and tells her that's why she isn't championship material. Flair tells her that champions use people -- he used the Four Horsemen, and Charlotte used the BFFs. Sasha can choose to second the Women's Champion, or go back to the street corner where she belongs. Sasha then kicks Flair between the legs. Charlotte tries to blast Sasha with the belt again, but Sasha ducks and then clears the ring of Charlotte. Sasha then hits Bankrupt on Flair to end the segment.

* Charlotte and Sasha Banks have another match where they beat the crap out of each other. Eventually Sasha wins the Women's Title, since she should be pretty over at this point.

[Lock Jaw]

Good triple threat match this week

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Does Aiden English have Trollface on his pants?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Regal wanting to randomly beat up CJ Parker

Triple threat match was good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked the Triple Threat and that cool suplex spot, but I was kind of hoping for more. I'm a selfish prick.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The title match at NXT Takeover seems like an odd choice to me. The match will rock off socks, but Kidd's character doesn't really seem developed enough for that yet. I'd like to see Neville get a chance to promo about how he's more scared of Kidd than he was Brodus Clay, because he knows he has to work harder and smarter to be better than bigger guys; but now he's going against someone who has made a career out of working harder and smarter to be better.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I felt like Aiden English should have beaten Mojo Rawley. I like English's thing where he's actually very credible if you look at how much he dominates anyone that's not a main roster Superstar when it comes to win-loss records. He'd have made a good challenger for Neville down the line.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked the Alexa Bliss vs. Charlotte match, which is a good sign for the Divas, in that it's not just matches with Paige, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Emma I enjoy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would actually really like to see a William Regal vs. CJ Parker feud, where Regal just rants about how the youth of today are so entitled and need to shower and get real jobs.

[Curd]

Justin Gabriel and Adam Rose could eventually form a South African-gimmicked tag team when Gabriel comes back. Either on the main roster or in NXT if Rose is pushed back like Kidd and Clay were.
http://www.tpww.net/2014/05/note-on-adam-rose-wwe-wwe-stock-media-countdown/

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't see the need to have Adam Rose paired with Justin Gabriel. But I have been thinking about where J-Gabe plugs in.

[Lock Jaw]

Renee Young on commentary this week!

Also, I miss Bo Dallas' old theme.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh no! Bo Dallas has to leave NXT! Whatever will he do?!

[Lock Jaw]

Curt Hawkins sighting.... MAIN EVENT PLAYER

[Lock Jaw]

Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville on the mic.... terrible..... Though Neville had a good line at the end....

Tyson Kidd still looks like a giant goomba, even with hair now.

[ron the dial]

i don't think neville is that a bad on the mic. obviously still developing. kidd, however, is just not very good. FACT!

[Lock Jaw]

Just can't take Neville seriously because of his accent

[Lock Jaw]

Like the worst accent ever

[ron the dial]

i love his accent :(

[Lock Jaw]

It's not a sophisticated English accent like William Regal.
It's not a badass English accent like Wade Barrett.
It's not a comedic English accent like Rockstar Spud.

It's just... I dunno... an awkward English accent.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Renee's sudden outburst of hatred of Tim Tebow

[Emperor Smeat]

Best part from this week's episode was the Breeze music video. :lol: him dedicating the song to all his fans even the uggo ones.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tyler Breeze has suddenly got it all clicked together. I like that he is biding his time with his title shot. They could turn it into a Money in the Bank type deal. I'm interested to see where they are going with Tyson Kidd. Does another loss to Neville push him over the edge? Does he turn heel and actually win the NXT Title? Both are workable, but Neville probably gets more out of being champion at this point. Have him beat Kidd again and then Kidd turns.

[Droford]

I feel like NXT needs a heel stable of former WWE main roster talent who come to NXT to try and stay relevant

[Mr. Nerfect]

Curt Hawkins, JTG & Zack Ryder.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd like to see Epico & Primo play themselves down in NXT and pretend to have no connection to Los Matadores. They might make decent stop-gap challengers to The Ascension.

[Innovator]

This was glorious:

[VSG]

lol that looks amazing, I need to catch this week's NXT now.

[Innovator]

HE TOUCHED MY BUM

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Bo

[Lock Jaw]

Caught up with the last two weeks. Good stuff.

Loved the Bo Dallas bit, and the Neville/Kidd match. Interested to see where they go with Tyson Kidd from here.

Also, after Breeze's music video, I am slightly more sold on his new music.... But not all the way there, because the old one worked better with his entrance motions.

[VSG]

Loved the whole Kidd/Natalya/Neville saga, pretty sure Kidd is going to "break up" with Natalya and turn full-on heel. One of the top ring moves from Kidd which turned into a bulldog of kind was more impressive than most finishers out there.

Mr NXT was awesome and ran just enough to be entertaining but not overly silly.

[Lock Jaw]

Huge Vaudevillains fan already

[Emperor Smeat]

1000% in on the vaudevillains

[VSG]

Absolutely love it. I think this will also translate well on Raw/Smackdown too.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, not gonna translate over well at all.... but I can enjoy it while it lasts.

[Innovator]

Wow Lock Jaw I didn't know your real name was Debbie Downer.

[Lock Jaw]

WHO TOLD Y- I mean... Ahaha, a very nice jest, sir. :shifty:

[slik]

Vaudevillians = Amazing

[ron the dial]

just watching it now. vaudevillains are awesome, but lock jaw is probably right.

[ron the dial]

WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE

THAT'S....

[Innovator]

I want him back. Now.

[Bad News Gertner]

Holy fuck, The Vaudevillians are amazing. Definitely won't translate well to the WWE, but prrtty fucking awesome.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can't see them being taken "seriously" as a heel team, if that makes sense. I kind of want The Ascension to just move up already, just so some teams that aren't as "heavy" get some time with the titles. As I suggested earlier, I'd actually really love it if Epico & Primo returned as a face team in NXT and won the titles. They could do some great work with The Vaudevillains, Jason Jordan & Tye Dillinger and Kalisto/El Local.

Sami Zayn vs. Tyson Kidd will be awesome. As a face, Kidd has all the tools in the ring, but just didn't...connect. A vicious heel run would allow him to show off his strengths and maybe get more noticed. I wouldn't mind it if Kidd became a Paul Heyman Guy. Brock Lesnar, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd...three very different competitors.

[Innovator]

:lol: Becky Lynch accidentally punching herself from the uppercut she gave to Summer Rae.

[ron the dial]

bull dempsey not working for me

[ron the dial]

more women wrestlers, especially the shorter ones, should hit the second rope when running the ropes. it would look more natural, and they'd get more momentum. it always looks so awkward when they have to stretch up and hit the top rope, and end up moving slower than when they started which kind of defeats the purpose.

[ron the dial]

and of course i'm a big becky lynch fan. nice finisher.

[ron the dial]

big cass is so awesome. good to see a dominant tall guy in nxt.

[ron the dial]

ENZOOOOOO!!!!!

[Bad News Gertner]

Bull Dempsey is awesome

[ron the dial]

my favorite duo in the entire wwe

[ron the dial]

bull dempsey will never make it. guaranteed.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So many tag teams in NXT. If only the Ascension would lose the titles so they could leave and have major competition between other teams for the titles.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Becky Lynch is so cute :heart: even if the jig is awful</font>

[VSG]

I am not convinced about Bull Dempsey myself, his debut should have been better.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I don't know what I dislike more about Sawyer Fulton, the awful ring gear or the awful necklace tattoo</font>

[Droford]

Bull Dempsey..the name generator sucks
I find it odd that they not only gave him a 2nd look, but also a slight push. I kind of like the gimmick, but it won't translate well outside of NXT.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bull Dempsey is a stud. Dude has 'it'

[Emperor Smeat]

BFF's breakup felt a bit anti-climatic overall assuming that was actually it this week.

:lol: Regal's on-going verbal trashing of CJ Parker. NXT's version of the sudden tirades JBL gets whenever he sees the Bunny.

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't the BFFs win their match? Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see a breakup.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was from a segment afterwards where Charlotte said she's done being Sasha's tag partner and the group itself.

[Lock Jaw]

Hmmm... didn't see that happen....

[Lock Jaw]

Really interesting to read through early pages of this thread.

[VSG]

It's been a pretty good ride so far.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I thought Xavier Woods was an odd choice as the first guy to have Bull Dempsey steam-roll. I'm not sold on him, but Gertner is, and Gertner is usually right. I want the persona to succeed, but he just looks like such a baby-faced guy. It feels like the guy should have a massive chip on his shoulder. He seems like the sort of personality that would have done really well in ECW or on the Heyman SmackDown era.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Becky Lynch is adorable. I love how the women are treated down in NXT. I'm thinking Summer Rae beats Bayley (haven't read the spoilers) and Sasha appears in her corner against Charlotte. Meanwhile, Banks can get wins against Alexa Bliss and Bayley to build her up as a challenger.

[Mr. Nerfect]

NXT is getting more and more great tag teams, but I still want Epico & Primo as NXT Tag Champs, dammit! I know I'm the only one. Big Cass & Enzo will be your next champs, I'm betting.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Speaking of NXT Renee Young is moving on up. She's now full time announcer for Superstars. Let's hope she can move up to Smackdown or Raw.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I really want to see Christian join an announce team. I've always thought he'd make a great commentator, although not all good talkers do. His work on panel shows has been, in my opinion, exemplary. He knows what to focus on when putting guys over. Plus, he's quick-witted enough to jabber back and forth and not look lost. He's funny enough to make nice quips. And he's got the ability to play both a face and heel character well. I think he'd have a good dynamic with Michael Cole and JBL. He'd bicker with JBL just enough to give different perspectives, but not enough for it to become distracting from the show. Trial it out on SmackDown.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Nooooo this thread can't be on the second page!

Feel like it's been said ad nauseum on here but they seriously need to either call the Ascension up or just get rid of them at this point. I believe they're both in their mid-30s or so and have been in development for several years. Actually I think this is Konnor's second run with the company so he's probably somewhere around 7-8 years in development. I really don't think there's anything left for them to do in NXT. They need to sink or swim on the main roster.</font>

[Innovator]

I think they put the Ascension in a holding pattern until Enzo was healthy

[VSG]

Discussion in this thread dropped dramatically once it got on the WWE network and people stopped posting links. I am guilty of it too.

Ya, definitely need to do something with the Ascension. They started off soo good as a 5 person stable :'(

I kinda guessed that would happen. I don't really care for either of them so the worst now is I get to ignore them both together.

[Emperor Smeat]

So Bull is now a face?

Seemed odd how they suddenly broke up a few tag teams even though a big tag team tournament is about to start.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bull Dempsey is everything, including the next NXT champion!

About time. If TNA is truly done, then I am going to pretend NXT is its own little wrestling promotion.

So Becky Lynch changed her "I'm really, really Irish and can't stop jigging around" to "I'm a crazy rock chick".

[Innovator]

And it's a great upgrade

[Evil Vito]

[VSG]

Wait, who's that between Bayley and Rosa Mendes?

Also damn@Alexa Bliss. I didn't think she was that petite.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Interesting to see how Rosa Mendes does down in NXT. Still want to see her bring back Epico & Primo dammit!

Bayley is so freakin' adorable and Becky Lynch is so freakin' over for a girl who hasn't done much on television. She's got a great story to tell too. Love the NXT girls.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bull Dempsey is starting to grow on me, and weirdly enough, I sort of like the pairing with Mojo Rawley. They both seem like "immature" gimmicks to me, and two guys that are a little out of their depth playing them. I think that the contrast they are going for might sharpen them as performers nicely and allow you to care and empathise with them a bit more.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That being said, I could see them lose in the semi-finals of the tournament and then Bull just maims Mojo and the two build to a match for the next live special.

[Mr. Nerfect]

My predictions for the next live special:

NXT Championship
Adrian Neville (c) vs. Tyler Breeze

NXT Women's Championship
Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley

NXT Tag Team Championship
The Ascension (c) vs. Sin Cara & Kalisto

Tyson Kidd vs. Sami Zayn

Mojo Rawley vs. Bull Dempsey

[Poit]

Tonight I'm watching NXT LIVE on the WWE Network!

I'm still wondering when Charlotte got good. Like, it wasn't a gradual thing. It just happened.

I think it's to do with the way they produce NXT. Filming 4-6 weeks of TV at a time means there's 4-6 weeks of improvement the next time you see them.

So, weeks 1-4 of NXT we saw Charlotte on stage one of her development/training, week 5 comes along and she's had a further 4 full weeks of training, by week 8 we're still seeing "Week 4" Charlotte. So when we see the next new set of tapings we get "Week 9" Charlotte.

We don't see a slow, steady, week-by-week improvement, we see her improve a month at a time.

[XL]

Notes from this show;

Mojo quadrupled his stock in my eyes by "losing his smile". Nothing worse than 2 dimensional, happy-go-lucky babyfaces.

Really not a fan of Becky Lynch's gimmick. Dunno if it was the sudden change from being really, really, really Irish to forcing this "rock chick" gimmick. Too full on.

Understatement of the decade. Love me some Bayley. Would be so awesome if she wins her first title soon ( She gets a title shot @ NXT Takeover II ), and eventually on the main roster by sometime in early 2015 or later this year. She really looks like she could take the Divas division to the next level if they book her properly.

Oh hey, William Regal is the new NXT General Manager. Awesome.

[Dukelorange]

I always liked "Bailey's gonna hug you!"

Comedy....

[Mr. Nerfect]

I used to put Bayley in a bracket behind Paige and Emma, but now I'm enjoying her just as much. She's got a personality and she's got this normal person look, despite clearly being in shape. She doesn't have a "hook" that needs a smark audience to connect to it either. She could work on RAW or SmackDown. I'd keep the Women's Title on Charlotte at Takeover, but have Bayley earn Charlotte's respect. Charlotte can then move on to a proper program with either Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch or Alexa Bliss. Maybe all three?

I'm not really a fan of the Sin Cara/Kalisto tag team. They just don't seem to be clicking. NXT would be the perfect place to try and make Sin Cara mean something though. Hunico is such a good worker, but he just feels "soft" from a production standpoint. It's time to get behind him and do some video packages explaining why people should care. He handed Adam Rose his first loss, in case anyone cares.

Bull impresses me more and more each week. I hope he wins at Takeover 2.

I'm not sure who is going to walk out of Takeover as NXT Champion. You'd think they'd have put the title on Tyson Kidd by now if they wanted it on him. And to an extent, they've had the chance to give it to Tyler Breeze too. It's probably down to Neville or Zayn, and is a Fatal 4-Way the best way to change the title from a face to another face? They'll probably just keep it on Neville.

I'm hoping we see CJ Parker vs. Kenta as an impromtu match at Takeover 2.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Chant of the night: "Let's go Bayley", "Cena sucks"

I am already bored of the Vaudevillians. I don't care about Tyler Breeze. Mojo Jojo is annoying.

I like Sami Zayn. I also like Kalisto and Sin Cara. I am probably the biggest Hunico fan here. I am thoroughly impressed by Charlotte.

[GD]

The hair versus hair match has my attention. The NXT champion's ears are quite captivating.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Big Cass and Enzo this week

[XL]

That Enzo/Big Cass skit was great. I'd enjoy something like that every week, especially if Carmella was involved.

Tyson's promo was also very enjoyable.

Don't buy the Luchas as a threat to The Ascension, but I guess we'll see.

[GD]

Sin Cara should come out to his original theme.

That's not even his original theme. Well at least not the character's, but it is this person's first Sin Cara theme.

Yeah that shmuck Goldberg couldn't even pull it off

[VSG]

Almost 2 decades between the gimmicks, and even then you really want to compare this guy with the hype machine run Goldberg?

[Innovator]

How dare you make me feel old

[VSG]

BRB lemme find your cane for you, gramps.

<3 you though

[Innovator]

I compared him to Goldberg because it was the same initial "debut". Established guy gets an entrance, "jobber" in the ring, "jobber" decisively beats established guy, walks away.

[XL]

I'd actually like for Tyson to win the title at some point. His work is always solid, his character has never been more interesting, and it'd be a nice reward for the work he's putting in bringing these other guys along.

You forgot quotation marks on established guy as well but ya, I see that.

[GD]

That poser Hideo Itami copying my boys Daniel Bryan and CM Punk :o

[Innovator]

Well the established guy for Goldberg was Hugh Morris, so that term is used loosely.

[VSG]

Was that an insult to Hugh Morris there??

Kneel as Fergal 'Prince' Devitt

Rise



Finn Balor

[VSG]

NXT name generator strikes again :'(

[Innovator]

Not that bad of a change. Better than Kassius Ohno

[VSG]

Can't believe I am quoting STD but:

Finn Balor? Sounds like Game of Thrones.

Pretty decent debut, but I still don't see Kenta going much better than Sin Cara on the main roster. At least the guy can talk in English.

Sin Cara Dos speaks English.

[XL]

There's a chance he was talking about the original Sin Cara.

[Emperor Smeat]

Devitt's debut ended up being similar to KENTA's in regards to the whole renaming issue.

So it's Bay-lor? Even more GoTish now.

[Lock Jaw]

Just watched Takeover II and last week's episode. Notes:

- Love Enzo Amore and Big Cass
- Love Bayley, but another case of ruined music strikes.
- Love Tyson Kidd. I too kind of want to see him with the NXT Championship. I mean, ideally, I'd like to see him on the main roster as an IC/US Title contender.... but this is good too.
- I don't really care about WWE changing guy's names.... but I do think it is pretty dumb to promote the hell out of them with their old names and THEN change it.

[Dukelorange]

I'm becoming a fan of Alexia Bliss...

So what I'm doing tonight is I got a challenge to you. And I ain't got much to offer you, cause the beer is already spoken for. But what I do got is I got a spot. A spot with the Four Horsemen. Not just a spot, not a liver spot, not a 'Spot' like your dog Spot. No not just any spot – but myyyyy spot. So I need to know right now: Do you accept it? My spot - not liver spot, not dog Spot, not anybody's spot, MY spot to become a Four Horsemen. Not my spot, anybody's spot, liver spot, dog Spot, MY spot.

[Lock Jaw]

Forgot to mention this, but Rich Brennan should never call a Charlotte match again, or anything involving her.

Mainly because he says Charlotte so weird that it is distracting. "Cherlit"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When did they change Bow Down to the Queen to Natural Selection? Did Steph get mad that somebody else was Queen?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Damn Bayley's knee does not look good. Looks swollen big time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Baron Corbin looks like Harvey from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

[Lock Jaw]

Damn Bayley's knee does not look good. Looks swollen big time.

Looked to me like she was just wearing a bunch of extra padding.

[Lock Jaw]

Also, I do not like the Vaudevillain's new theme. Thought that they started to play William Regal's music over it like halfway through.

[VSG]

Yeah, the Vaudevillains crashed big time :'(

[Lock Jaw]

[GD]

Loved Charollette.

[XL]

Natural Selection looks really soft a lot of the time. She should have changed it to a Split-leg Stunner when she changed the name.

[VSG]

Depends so much on the opponent taking it. Someone small like AJ would make it work great I bet! Charlotte's apparently been cutting promos calling AJ out so guessing she comes over to the main roster soon. Pretty sure that would suck for her, but being Flair's kid may help her not go the Emma route :'(

[Asmo]

Did anyone miss Renee on commentary? I didn't.

Thoroughly enjoyed Bayley VS Charlotte, as well as Kidd VS Neville.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yes, I hate Riley and Jason TrainBert.

[loopydate]

Finally getting caught up today. The Vaudevillains and Enzo/Cass are tremendous. Cass' "Hey Arnold" joke in this week's promo was great. The whole thing's pretty great, honestly.

[VSG]

Hearing news of the "It's coming" Wyatt family teaser being the Ascension. I imagine they will come up once they are done getting beat up by Kenta and Devitt.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They need to change Becky Lynch's freeze frame for match card thing. Got her frozen at a stupid look on her face.

[GD]

Sami Zayn and Charollette are awesome.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Charlotte*

Your spelling reminds me of Chat Roulette.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tyson Kidd has actually become a personality. I worry it won't translate to RAW and SmackDown as effectively. I feel that he will just win matches because he uses Natalya or lose matches because of Natalya, and that will run dry soon, but it's far better than where he was pre-injury. He had all the skills, but I just couldn't buy him as a guy with any traction.

The Divas are all so good down there. Even Carmella has a personality already. I haven't read the spoilers or seen this week's episode, but I think a heel turn for Becky Lynch and a bitter rivalry with Bayley could be fun.

It seems to me fairly obvious we are building to Adrian Neville vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT Title at the next live special. I'm all for Zayn winning the title and then being confronted by Kevin Steen.

Enzo and Cass have been awesome lately. They remind me of Edge & Christian -- entertaining team that can keep things moving in the tag division. Lucha Dragons are meshing better and better each day, and they seem set-up to take on The Vaudevillains. I hate their music change, but I'm not bored with them yet.

I'm actually intrigued to see where this Marcus Louis/Sylvester LeFort stuff goes. A bad-ass French babyface is something we haven't really seen in WWE.

[Nicky Fives]

A bad-ass French babyface is something we haven't really seen in WWE.

Nor will it ever be seen.... Louis is terrible

Next NXT Live Special will be December 11th. Looking to see if I can get cheap airfare to Orlando.

Spoilers regarding the NXT title match for the next live special

Career vs. Title Match
Sami Zayn vs. Adrian Neville

Either Zayn is getting the title by December or getting called up very soon

[Mr. Nerfect]

I actually really like Jason Albert as a color guy. He provides actual analysis while seeming to fit the WWE mold. He's better than Alex Riley.

[VSG]

Everyone's better than Alex Riley though.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's no Regal.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

He's a babyface kiss ass. Riley is the heel kiss ass. So, it all depends on who they are talking about. If Jason is hyping Bayley he's awesome. If he's trying to hype up Mojo Rawley he sucks.

[loopydate]

Mojo doesn't need to be hyped.

He stays hyped.

[VSG]

That's a ridiculous statement, STD. He's only doing his job as a neutral color commentor- not everyone has to be Jerry Lawler from the attitude era.

Watching NXT for this week now, hopefully this is the last week of Kenta getting demolished by the Ascension (who should totally be debuting on the main roster wearing bondage gear and come out to the Demolition theme song before Bray Wyatt "adopts" them). How's that for a ridiculous statement?

[VSG]

Stream glitched out badly during CJ Parker's entrance and I swear he looked like Kharma when the frames got mixed up.

[VSG]

I hate that Tyler Breeze is being wasted with a Mojo Rawley feud.

Heeeeeeeey now, who's that new backstage chick? Anyone know?

[VSG]

Oh god Baron Corbin can't even cut a recorded promo video :'(

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not really a feud. Mojo is out. Breeze cleanly squashed Mojo twice.

He's not neutral. He's a face-lover to Riley's heel lover. Stuck in the middle is Renee.

Phillips, Renee and New Cole is the best team.

[VSG]

Sasha Banks has also improved tremendously in the ring- needs a better finisher imo.

lol at the crowd reaction when Becky Lynch turned heel.

[VSG]

Not how it came off in this episode, especially with how the commentators played it out.

Pretty sure I've seen him defend heels before also.

[VSG]

Titus O'Neil in a super cereal role on NXT while getting beat up by El Torito and part of Slator Gator on the main roster :'(

[Mr. Nerfect]

I got my wires crossed at Fatal 4-Way, and I thought that it was Tyler Breeze who took the pin in the match. I was kind of hoping that Tyson Kidd would blame Breeze for the loss and attack him during a match and kick-start a feud with a now babyface Breeze. It seems we're getting a natural double-turn with Breeze and Mojo Rawley though, which might actually be cool if Rawley can grow into the role.

[XL]

He's no Regal.

They need to get Regal on TV more.

Thoughts from this week; The Ascension are now xenophobes telling Itami to "go home", probably be better off with Zeb than with Bray.

Becky Lynch is so very, very awkward.

[VSG]

Yeah her character is totally in development limbo.

[XL]

That wasn't a comment on her character. I we talking physically, she moves awkwardly.

[VSG]

I don't expect anything magic of the NXT divas within a couple of months of action, but soon they all seem to be really good in the ring. Is Bill Demott still their trainer?

[XL]

Sara Del Rey works with the women, doesn't she?

[VSG]

Oh yeah, I did hear about that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah think he's still the head trainer. Think he got demoted a couple of times but always managed to get that spot back.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Love Becky Lynch. She's spunky and a good worker. They tried that Irish jig with her, and I'm glad that lasted one week. Bad-ass Becky has got more of a chance of working, and I'm looking forward to the Charlotte/Bayley vs. Sasha/Becky tag match. They could even put it on the live special, although I have a feeling they'll go with Bayley in the corner of Charlotte and Becky in the corner of Sasha, or those girls possibly having a match of their own.

[loopydate]

:lol: "One more yah!" chant

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'll be honest -- still not fans of The Ascension. But I do want to see them called up to the main roster already. Their shtick is about as developed as it is going to get in NXT. Maybe they could work longer matches with some of the budding teams down there, but I thought they actually came across really great as they were promoting the last Takeover show and they had them beat Los Matadores on Main Event.

[Droford]

Undertaker is supposedly going to be an advisor for nxt. Kinda interesting

[GD]

I want to marry Charlotte and raise her children.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Charlotte is growing on me.

[GD]

I don't mind her putting me in that modified figure four leg lock. If you know what I am mean :p (wink, wink).
