Renee Young on commentary. :heart:

Sasha Banks' makeup seems to get progressively worse every week. Other than that, she has potential I guess. For a diva.

I like Aiden English. Fun gimmick. Worried that if it ever got to the main show, though, that the fans would just dump all over it and chant WHAT at him.

First time I am seeing Ricardo wrestle. Didn't get much offense, but I liked what I saw.

Bo Dallas is great at his character.

I like the amount of Brad Maddox on this episode. He has done more in this one ep than he has done in his whole stint in power on RAW.

Oh, and Kassius Ohno is back. Looks like he slimmed down a bit, maybe.

I really don't mind the Total Elimination finish for The Ascension. :-\

Kassius Ohno seems like he would make a natural ally for Daniel Bryan and CM Punk at a Survivor Series PPV one year.

Marked out for JBL. So good to hear his music/see him in the ring on a microphone.

Even with how "good" the main product is right now, NXT is quickly becoming my favorite show. I think maybe because it is only an hour a week, I don't get "burnt out"/"overexposed" to it.

Yeah, I really dig NXT.

The progression always seems logical.

With Sami Zayn seemingly not an "A+ player" as far as Triple H and the establishment are concerned, part of me is really hoping that we get a few weeks of Sami Zayn facing members of The Shield. Maybe they can run a really simple storyline where Zayn has to beat Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in separate singles matches to earn a title shot? At the end of it, everyone thinks Zayn will eventually get his match, but a new contender appears -- the winner of NXT Season 1, Wade Barrett. Zayn has to beat Barrett to prove that he is the greatest NXT Superstar of all-time, and he manages to secure his shot at the NXT Title.

Zayn should not be given wins over any of those four names. Well, maybe Barrett. Definitely no one from The Shield.

Because Zayn is not even on the main roster yet, and thus should not be defeating main roster champions who have been booked to lose very sparingly against the best of the best.

What if they want Zayn to be at that level?

Then bring him up to the main roster. He isn't going to get to that level on NXT.

I don't think losing on NXT would really hurt any of the Shield members, though. As long as they were serious about pushing Zayn in that realm.

House show match between Kalisto & Baron Corbin.

Last week was even better.

Talked about that pages ago, but I guess it is news know that Ryan Clark posted it on the front page.

How did I miss all those?

Enjoyed Kalisto. I hope he connects on the main roster if he gets a chance up there.

I hate the Asai DDT finish though. I always have. I much prefer the Shiranui, because the wrestler performing the move at least uses the ropes to launch themselves over, and it kind of looks more realistic.

Earlier this month, fans got a peek inside the characters the future Superstars of WWE have been developing at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, as footage from the sports-entertainment organization's "Presentations Skills" class surfaced online. One of the most notable presentations came from Buddy Murphy (a/k/a Matt Silva), a 5'10" 230-pound wrestler from Australia, who depicted his character as having multiple personalities.

In his presentation, Murphy initially taps into Australian stereotypes before "breaking character" to ridicule the company-ordered persona and subsequently identifies himself in a shoot-style manner. As Murphy speaks, he makes a disturbing reference to being a wrestler who would go home and murder his children.

After asking the cameraman to cease filming, Murphy states, "Are you happy? Are you happy? So finally, the Australian's doing the stereotype Australian gimmick. Finally, Buddy Murphy is coming out his shell. Finally, Buddy Murphy is showing some personality. I've always had this personality, I just don't know what personality you're going to get.

"See that guy walks through the door, he's upstairs, doesn't have a smile on his face, that's me too. The guy that sits in the locker room and stares at holes down the wall, and you're wondering what he's thinking, if he's going to go home and murder my kids, that's me too [laughs heard in the background].

"But, this is what you want. This is what you want. Well just remember this; you might get what you want, but you don't always get who you want."

A individual managed to save the footage before it was removed from public eyes and made it available on YouTube again.

This mixed tag match is amazing.

Fandango/Santino was great.

Mixed tag match opening the show was good.

Watching this via HULU right now

Hulu lagging like crazy. Might have to switch over.

Renee Young being on commentary is balancing out Alex Riley being on commentary.

Loving this mixed tag so far, and there has been like two moves.

Dailymotion lagging terribly too. My net seems "fine" though.

I loved Renee stonewalling all of Riley's commentary

Managed to make it through the tag match. Think I am going to stop watching this right now. Just lagging too much. And by lagging, I mean "buffering" or whatever.

Found a non-Hulu non-Dailymotion link. This one works fine. Back in the game.

Baha, Renee: "I really hope you guys don't rub off on me."
