Official NXT ARRIVAL Thread 2/27/14 or how I learned to stop worrying and become a Boliever

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Bo Dallas is so awful the crowd is starting to love it.

[Seth82]

and it froze again....

[#1-norm-fan]

I've really never been so confused about how I feel about a wrestler. Ever.

[Poit]

I feel like after two successful title defenses, we have to see a title change hands here.

[Poit]

lol. Bo Dallas is so awful the crowd is starting to love it.

Starting to?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Kept the stream on so I thought I could rewind and watch from the start like a DVR. Nope.

[blak23]

A Geordie= New Castle

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Going to watch the rest after the main event I guess. Sort of watching a bit of the Cesaro/Zayn match on break from work.

[Innovator]

I put it on my phone, I got Bo grabbing a ladder and it went back to Tyler Breeze

[blak23]

where's Oliver grey?

[Poit]

where's Oliver grey?

He was injured months back. I think he was a lumberjack for the previous Dallas/Neville title match, but I haven't seen him since.

[CSL]

I have fine audio playing over the menu :|

[Innovator]

Getting audio now

[Heisenberg]

Watching live wrestling that isn't Raw or Impact on my iPhone kicks ass

[CSL]

they should make this Tyler Breeze thing the Rick Roll version of wrestling memes. WrestleMania X8 vid, Rock hits the Rock Bottom, Hogan's about to kick out blow the roof off, cut to Tyler Breeze

[Razzamajazz]

damn the ladder falling on neville's head

[CSL]

music even kicks in perfectly

[el bobbo]

Does Adrian Neville have veneers?

[CSL]

lol Tyler Breeze trending worldwide

[Seth82]

working now for me

[Heisenberg]

WWE Network needs a Titantron channel/section

Those kick ass

[Innovator]

Its working in internet explorer for me

[el bobbo]

Does Adrian Neville have veneers?

[Poit]

Holy shit.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cesaro/Zayn should have been the main event.

[#1-norm-fan]

Starting to?

Sounded like a half "Bo Dallas" chant at the beginning.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

WWE Network needs a Titantron channel/section

Those kick ass

WWE.com has those still don't they?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sounded like a half "Bo Dallas" chant at the beginning.

You mean the "No Bo" chant?

[Seth82]

wow!

[Heisenberg]

I'm not sure

I watch them on YouTube

[Razzamajazz]

this "nxt" chant is stupid

[#1-norm-fan]

Cesaro/Zayn should have been the main event.

It was a better match... that doesn't mean it should have taken the main event spot over a ladder match for the title. Why would they not have their first show for most of the people watching showcase the title in the main event?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wooooooooo!

[Seth82]

holy shit!

Adrian wins the title

[#1-norm-fan]

You mean the "No Bo" chant?

You're not very good at hearing chants. So I'll wait for some other confirmation.

[el bobbo]

Noice.

[Poit]

That was a pretty good match. :y:

[Heisenberg]

I'm still watching the match, I take it I'm behind

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Zayn should be on Raw starting Monday.

[#1-norm-fan]

NOOO!

...Unbolievable!

[Innovator]

john cena AND BRIAN FRITZ

[blak23]

so cal val was there

[Fat Aaron]

I wish Regal announced on raw

[CSL]

started working properly with Neville atop the ladder :o playing from beginning and going back to the end of the HBK promo/when it started messing up seems to be working fine now tho

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bo knows defeat.

[FourFifty]

NXT Everybody

[el bobbo]

That was a great show to introduce WWE Network subscribers to NXT. I might be looking forward to this more than RAW every week.

[Seth82]

what a fantastic show this was!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sorry about your damn luck TNA.

The lesser brand is always the better booked show it seems. Not sure why they can't put the same care and focus on the main ones.

[Droford]

lol the Bo Dallas fans behind Cena

[Emperor Smeat]

Missed almost the entire main event but the show was great overall.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh God. Vickie Guerrero promos as commercials do not make me love the network.

[Corndad]

Some pretty great matches tonight. Cesaro match was off the charts and Woman's match might have been the best woman's match I've seen in a while.

[Innovator]

The lesser brand is always the better booked show it seems. Not sure why they can't put the same care and focus on the main ones.

On a conference call yesterday, Triple H said he likes to keep NXT simpler and more old school with booking. Somehow that magically makes a great show.

[FourFifty]

I just spoiled the ending to a few people in a video game chat room watching a guy play FFIV. I feel terrible for laughing.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If they cared they'd not be doing such nonsense and would have been watching. Not like they were at work or doing something important.

[el bobbo]

Ha. It's just trying to be wrestling not "entertainment" like most of the crapon RAW.

[VSG]

I was thoroughly enjoying the recap till freaking Tyler Breeze broke the stream for me. Nothing I do goes past his ring entrance. I will catch the rest tomorrow but that was a great show so far.

[Bad News Gertner]

His magnificent entrance is all you need to see

[Droford]

The replay live stream is 100% fine, which basically doesnt give me any hope that Id be able to watch a live stream of a ppv without issues. Which is enough to sway me back to cancelling. I got it to work on my tablet even, after figuring out to disable allowing mock locations, but it takes 2 minutes before each video to determine my location..which is annoying.

[teamXtremist]

Love Paige and Neville is awesome

[Bad News Gertner]

Just watch it on watchwrestling.net. They also have all the ppv's and Timeline shoot.s

[Poit]

During tonight's live NXT ArRIVAL special, we unfortunately experienced technical difficulties, which are to be expected when launching a new digital network. We will work aggressively to solve these glitches and deliver quality service. The complete event will be available on-demand overnight.

Honestly, this gives me some hope. This is the first time I've ever seen WWE acknowledge a problem with their web streams.

[Blitz]

Zayn/Cesaro, so good. Sami's facials are impeccable for a guy who's spent the majority of his career under a hood.

[XL]

Great show. Really pleased to see some new faces in here taking a look at NXT.

Few things:

- Corey Graves was probably sat in the back seething when Cesaro kept telling Zayn to "Stay Down"

- Emma/Paige was a good match...for a women's match. Don't think they'll ever shake that stigma. Personally I hated all the hair pulling and rolling around on the floor cat fight style at the start. Really devalues them as "wrestlers" in my eyes. You can do intensity without all that shite.

- They really need to do something about the tag division. The Ascension have a great look/gimmick but they're sort of "trapped" on NXT until someone comes along who can take the tag belts. WWE really need to stop dismantling their tag divisions.

[Heisenberg]

Honestly, this gives me some hope. This is the first time I've ever seen WWE acknowledge a problem with their web streams.

I forgive them, the show was a breath of fresh air and the network is so new. I've participated in MMO launches and other digital mediums and was trained to deal with it.

Miss you

[Fenix122]

Tyler Breeze needs to use this in a promo. He's so pretty that he broke the wwe network due to the demand to see him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hahaha

[RVDmark]

This was the first NXT show I have watched, but certainly not the last.

Great matches, great announcers, arena lighting helped to put the spotlight on the match itself.

Regal :love:

[Lock Jaw]

Don't want to read this thread yet, anyone have a link to a good quality stream for this (that isn't just a link to the WWE Network)? I found one stream online, but the quality isn't that great.

[Innovator]

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1dspfg_wwe-nxt-arrival-2-27-14-part-1-5-hq_sport

Start here and keep going through all 5 parts

[Lock Jaw]

:y: Time to get Extreme, or something.

[VSG]

Why do you not have the WWE Network, given it is still on a free trial? Data cap on internet?

[Lock Jaw]

Holy s***, what a friggen match.... Cesaro/Zayn....

Can't wait to see these two mix it up on the main roster... they can build a big story with this if they acknowledge NXT continuity.

[VSG]

Stop juggling my question, Mr Jaw!

[Lock Jaw]

lol going from that to Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker, two of the least interesting ones they have.

[Lock Jaw]

Scotty 2 Hotty's hair has run away with Viktor's eye contacts.

[Bad News Gertner]

Rawley is in need badly of a new finisher. Also he looks like a gay biker.

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty sweet submission by Paige. Way better finisher than the Page Turner.

[Skippord]

watching the rest of this after only seeing Cesaro/Zayn before

really really hate CJ Parker and Mojo Rawley

[Skippord]

Mojo Rawley has for sure the worst finisher of any male wrestler in the world

[Skippord]

the ass punch looks more effective than that

[Skippord]

when did the Ascension get gay chain mail outfits?

[Skippord]

Viktor's hairline is really heading south for the winter

[Skippord]

Connor is not the most threatening name

[Innovator]

There is something endearing about Mojo Rawley, just being sooooo hyped to be there.

But yeah, needs a new finisher besides the flying asshole and earthquake splash.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rawley is in need badly of a new finisher. Also he looks like a gay biker.

Yeah Quaker Shaker ain't worth a shit when you aint a fatty.

[Brigstocke]

That Sami Zayn/Cesaro match was fucking great... Actually loved it..

[XL]

Even though <s>Antonio</s> Cesaro steamed your man's catchphrase!?

[Brigstocke]

Yeah...I'm sure he asked permission...If not Corey will decapitate him on Raw Monday..

[Mr. Nerfect]

* Sami Zayn and Cesaro tore that fucking house down. Holy shit was that good. You can tell the WWE is high on Sami Zayn and I can't wait to see what they do with him. Although the next lot of NXT stuff has been taped, I actually had a pre-Arrival fantasy of Zayn showing up on RAW after Batista trolls the WWE Universe by using CM Punk's theme music and talking about how fat we are, etc. Batista is disrespectful to Renee Young in a backstage inteview and Zayn stands up for her. Batista accepts a match which Zayn wins when Orton hits a sneaky RKO on Batista while the referee is distracted by something.

* The WWE is high on Mojo Rawley. This is one of those "Deal with it" guys. I think a lot needs to be worked on as far as presentation goes there, but what do I know?

* Paige and Emma had a good Women's Championship match. I think it suffered from being on a card with Zayn/Cesaro (as did the Ladder Match to be honest). I wouldn't have been opposed to these two opening the show, but I can understand why they went with Zayn vs. Cesaro. I have to be honest: Part of me wants to see a heel NXT Emma now, but that would probably clash with WWE canon.

* Really wanted to see Tyler Breeze vs. Xavier Woods. I understand what they are doing with Rusev, but dammit! I'm not sure if Rusev will catch wild-fire as a tough foreign heel. Part of me would be more interested if he was a tough foreigner who squashed heels. Build Rusev up for a match against Jack Swagger and possibly Cesaro (if the split between he and Swagger doesn't happen). Plus, if you make Lana a girl that the WWE Universe is supposed to like, she can play damsel-in-distress or even be promoted for her sex appeal down the line.

* I hope these issues between Woods & Breeze lead to a proper feud between the two. Give them a Handicap Match between the two and have Breeze jump off the ring apron when Woods is trying to make a tag, leaving Rusev to finish Woods. Simple and effective.

* I have to be honest -- the Ladder Match didn't really do it for me. It was good, but it just suffered from being on a card with Cesaro vs. Zayn in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing how Bo Dallas evolves his character now. Does he become more deranged? Maybe we will see more of the "Bray Wyatt" in Bo's geneology?
