Hmm, this seemed like an interesting promo. Did they go anywhere with this gimmick?

I do see something in Bo. I'm squinting, but it's there. He's confident, he's young, he can technically work. He's like "blue-chipper" Rocky Maivia. That doesn't mean he'll necessarily turn out to be great, but I won't be surprised if one day tones are changed when it comes to Bo. The dude should be a heel feuding with Adrian Neville at the moment, though, certainly not NXT Champion.

Maybe they want to try "over-the-top face champion that is annoying and is actually a heel" or something like that? They should have gone with someone else winning the Battle Royal and facing Big E. Langston. Bray Wyatt would have been a better choice and if they want him on the main roster, just don't put the title on him.

Don't encourage them.

JUST SAY NO TO BO!

I could have gone for Kassius Ohno as NXT Champion, since there doesn't seem to be an immediate plan to call him up to the main roster. He could have knocked out Big E., which would have been impressive, and he can cut promos on Bray Wyatt, who had The Family take him out a few weeks back. Ohno could talk about how he's put himself between Wyatt and the NXT Title so that Wyatt needs to go through him.

Just watched this week's NXT. I want to like Brad Maddox, and he has moments that are pretty cool, but I don't really get the mad hype around him. Am I missing something?

The opening segment with Bo Dallas and Big E. Langston was pretty good. Langston has really come onto his own and seems far less awkward than he used to. I'm not sure if he is meant to be a face or a heel, but he walks to "cool" line that makes me sad to know he'll be dropping the title to Bo.

I know it's unpopular, but I don't hate Dallas. I get annoyed by his continuous shoving down our throats and his character, but I'm going to give him the chance to develop, because I'm sure I could end up liking the guy one day. After all, Husky Harris became Bray Wyatt. I like Dallas' line about needing to be champion and the implication that he's envious of Big E.'s success.

Jim Ross being there was a nice touch. Whoever is booking NXT knows how to make things feel special, and how to use legends like JR effectively. Championship matches are always a big deal on NXT. The simple tagline of "Is Big E. Langston the biggest, baddest man in NXT; or will Bo Dallas achieve his dream?" is a simple way to some up the title feuds, which are easy to get and suck you in pretty effectively.

Corey Graves is quite good on the mic and I dig his character. He is great at somehow making his offense look believable, too. I'm starting to see what makes Luke Harper so great. He and Graves worked really well together. I'd love to see them in a singles match down the line. Ohno is a decent promo, but some sort of spark is missing. His charisma shines through better when he's out there in the ring. He can hopefully get to that next level and become a great talker, though.

Speaking of great talkers, man is Sami Zayn a natural? He seems like a real cool dude, and he's a Superstar you'd just like to hang out with. He's probably the skinniest guy on the roster, so I hope that he can find a way to make his stuff believable. I bought him beating Antonio Cesaro, and he's a big dude. It's just a shame that Zayn isn't massively ripped, otherwise he would be a sure deal.

Paige is amazing. I loved her work with Tamina and the story it told. It looked like Tammy could have had the match won on the girl fighting above her weight against a main roster Diva, but then Snuka got cocky and Paige capitalised. Alicia Fox will probably defeat Bayley, which will be fine because Bayley is still getting away with jobbing as "the new girl." It will also allow Paige to beat a former Divas Champion before reaching the finals. Summer Rae will probably go over Sasha Banks and move into the semi-finals against Emma, who will hopefully defeat Aksana. Summer Rae vs. Emma could go either way, and while I do love Emma and I think putting the two most over girls against each other would be wise, Summer Rae going into the finals makes sense. Please make Paige the first champion, though. She's earned that.

Still not really fussed about Mason Ryan. I wish him the best, but he just seems to be "Roar! I'm a big guy! Cheer me!" The other dude kind of looked like he had potential, but he'll need a role. As a tough New York guy, I'd love to see him feud with Zack Ryder, who he can say is misrepresenting New York. Alex Riley looked like against Conor O'Brian tonight. Get your shit together, A-Ry. He's still got Superstar potential, but he needs to get his head around certain things. O'Brian has got presence these days. I loved his rolling headlock takeovers. He seems to do a few things that disorient his opponents, which is a nice little technique that you don't see from too many guys. His pairing with Rick Victor will be good, since Victor was so smooth last I saw him. The WWE needs face teams, though. Maybe he and O'Brian could be a face duo together, and come in and instantly spook The Shield?

Man, could you imagine how over The Ascension would immediately be if they returned with The Undertaker to reclaim the yard?

Very glad to see the Ascension theme back in play, but that other mystery dude remained incognito.

:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

Good on Conor O'Brian. Krissy Vaine was a fine piece. :y:

O'Brian's found a character that works for him in NXT. His stuff on the main roster showed he had certain potential, but he never really seemed "heavy" enough with his personality to be other than a random dude with a bit of size. I could buy him as a threat with his serious gimmick. Working with Rick Victor (who is absolutely brilliant in the ring) is only going to help him.

Why don't you post the imbedded video anymore?

I could, but does it matter?

I thought Hulu needed subscription?

Having just checked, I was right.

Could I find a free streamed version, yeah. It's just nicer to come here and have it posted ready for my consumption.

I CAN'T FIND IT ON DAILYMOTION SOMEONE DO IT FOR ME

I'M BORED AT WORK AND FEELING RAPEY. Only you can stop rape by sating my appetite for some NXT.

Too late probably

For a guy who's spent his career under a mask, Generico has facial expressions down pat.

fucking Bo Dallas

:lol: the crowd turning their back on Bo winning

Thank you, VSG. I did watch it earlier but having it posted here is so much more...efficient.

Just read a review of the show that included numerous segments than is not appear in that DM video.

An interview between Renee and Bayley, a backstage segment with Graves, Neville, Ohno and Regal and some kind of exchange from Wyatt to Regal. Any reason for that?

Those were all included in the Hulu Plus version. Perhaps whatever locale the Dailymotion video was recorded cut those segments for length or something?

I do kinda like Bo's theme...

"Like" and "Bo" do not belong in the same sentence

What if the sentence is "I would like Bo to suffer a career ending knee injury?"

Ok, let me try that again

Bo Dallas, nor any part of Bo Dallas, deserves praise.


Except for his brother. All praise to his brother.

I'm pretty sure Bo Dallas had nothing to do with making or performing in the music used for him. So give me a little credit.


Give this music to Ryder with a heel twist to him. Now you've got something interesting.

I don't think I have it in me to watch Bo Dallas beat Big E Langston for a major title.

Luckily he only wins the NXT Championship, then.

Cut his hair....that's the best move.

Then bump him with Alex Riley as a tag team....then future endeavored.

It's no good
