NXT TakeOver: San Antonio Thread
 

Here we go right here!

Just turned on the pre-show..... Corey Graves announcing he is leaving the NXT commentating team..... and replaced with Nigel McGuiness.....

DAMN

Will miss the chemistry between Corey Graves and Tom Phillips..... hopefully they will be reunited someday......

Don't blame him a person can only do so much

Is that an Oscar dress?

Billy Kay & Peyton Royce winning award for 2016 breakout star of the year

Nigel McGuinness on NXT commentary is a good move. Corey Graves is now a "heavyweight" commentator. Don't stretch him too far.

Billie Kay mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Billie Kay & Peyton Royce will be main roster call-ups at some point this year.

Couple of lingering NXT questions.....

1) What does Andrade "Cien" Almost's theme say at the beginning of it...... "ES EVILO"

2) What is the deal with Sawyer Fulton..... I don't remember reading anything about him being injured, but then one week they just removed him from SaNity with no explanation, and now replaced him with that SlickDamo guy...... Sawyer Fulton seemed like he had a better look......

I dont think I like this Kayla girl

She doesn't like you either

Good!

Those red contacts of Ember are great

I think Sawyer Fulton is injured.

Why do Nigel and Regal say Asska not Asuka

I'm not sold on The Authors of Pain as a tag team just yet. I appreciate they want them to be seen as monsters that can move, and they really do look like menaces, but something is just not there with them. I'd rather see War Machine in the WWE to be honest. I'd probably go with #DIY retaining the belts and then heading towards something with Itami & Ibushi at Takeover on Mania weekend. Austin Aries should be medically cleared by then too. Aries & Strong being thrown as a tag team with very different personalities could be intriguing.

The Japanese sometimes roll their u's into consonant sounds. It's probably how she says it. To elongate it as "Ass-u-ka" is probably a bit pidgin.

TUESDAY IN TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nigel keep bringing the brilliant insights like "If Nakamura hits his finisher he will win, if he doesn't hit it he won't"

Don't care about Roderick Strong at all..... so generic and bland seems like...... would rather watch Hideo Itami because at least he has "being Asian" going for him to make him "stand out".......

I haven't been watching, granted, but Roderick Strong has done nothing to capture my imagination at all. That being said, I am actually looking forward to him wrestling as a result. He's a completely blank canvas for me in that sense.

The Aries team is probably the best thing for him, and vice versa actually. Aries is kind of just there too.

I will have to catch this in a few. Looking forward to it. Tag bout, Women's bout and Main-Event in particular.

Gonna be cool when Tye Dillinger comes in @ #10 in the Royal Rumble

Who is the new commentator, is he just some guy

Fulton had to get written out of the group because of how severe his shoulder injury was last month. Happened in between tapings so I guess either the Damo stuff got rushed or he was the best replacement available at the time.

"Sanity" theme seems horrible

He's a former wrestler. He worked in ROH and TNA before it was revealed he had hepatitis and had to retire to become a non-wrestling character.

Thank goodness SlickDamo is wearing a shirt tonight

He was Desmond Wolfe in TNA, and was actually pretty over. He also had a random hot chick valet named Chelsea:

Percy Watson?

He was a former NXT wrestler back when it used to be the seasonal era.

Oh yeah, Percy Watson. How is he on commentary?

He freakin' oozed personality and then they had him just drop it when he was in the new NXT. Weird.

STD is there @ lock jaw?

why would STD be shirtless in attendance, does he do that a lot...he wore a shirt to NXT Takeover: Dallas

Seems like they should not have renamed Damo to Killian Zane because we already have a Zayn.......

Getting a little better since his commentary debut but pretty much what you'd expect someone to be who's been away from the WWE for years or new to wrestling commentary.

Never mind..... it is "Dane" not "Zane"...... still sounds too similar.... should have kept his name as SlickDamo.

Isn't it supposed to be "Dain?" Did they change it, or is it just not being enunciated clearly.

Never mind.
