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 02-27-2014 09:58 PM

lol the Bo Dallas fans behind Cena

Emperor Smeat 02-27-2014 09:59 PM

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

#1-norm-fan 02-27-2014 10:00 PM

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

Corndad 02-27-2014 10:02 PM

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.

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 02-27-2014 10:14 PM

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 02-27-2014 10:28 PM

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.

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

VSG 02-27-2014 11:19 PM

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 02-28-2014 12:00 AM

His magnificent entrance is all you need to see

Droford 02-28-2014 12:16 AM

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 02-28-2014 01:32 AM

Love Paige and Neville is awesome

Bad News Gertner 02-28-2014 02:04 AM

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

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

Blitz 02-28-2014 05:07 AM

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

XL 02-28-2014 08:19 AM

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.

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

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 02-28-2014 11:47 AM

Hahaha

RVDmark 02-28-2014 08:00 PM

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 02-28-2014 11:15 PM

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 02-28-2014 11:19 PM

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1d...t-1-5-hq_sport

Start here and keep going through all 5 parts

Lock Jaw 02-28-2014 11:21 PM

:y: Time to get Extreme, or something.

VSG 02-28-2014 11:29 PM

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

Lock Jaw 02-28-2014 11:58 PM

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 03-01-2014 12:04 AM

Stop juggling my question, Mr Jaw!

Lock Jaw 03-01-2014 12:06 AM

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

Lock Jaw 03-01-2014 12:19 AM

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

Bad News Gertner 03-01-2014 12:41 AM

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

Lock Jaw 03-01-2014 12:45 AM

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

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:03 AM

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

really really hate CJ Parker and Mojo Rawley

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:04 AM

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

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:05 AM

the ass punch looks more effective than that

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:05 AM

when did the Ascension get gay chain mail outfits?

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:06 AM

Viktor's hairline is really heading south for the winter

Skippord 03-01-2014 01:07 AM

Connor is not the most threatening name

Innovator 03-01-2014 08:22 AM

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.

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

Brigstocke 03-01-2014 11:46 AM

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

XL 03-01-2014 05:52 PM

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

Brigstocke 03-01-2014 05:58 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 03-01-2014 06:14 PM

* 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?
