WWE:NXT Discussion Thread

Thoughts from this week:

* Love Emma. I like the dynamic between her and Dana Brooke, but I hate that Dana is presented as the star. As the "veteran," Emma should be the leader of this duo with Dana being the annoying little kiss-ass. It actually builds up a good dynamic between Bayley and Brooke, as Bayley wouldn't fall into line under Emma a few weeks ago.

* SHAZZA! I've heard good things about Shazza McKenzie. She sold well here, but she honestly didn't impress me as much as Kay Lee Ray, who bounced around like a maniac for Nia Jax. I hate being that objectifying sort of guy, but Kay Lee looked a bit like a crack addict though.

* The tag match between Gable & Jordan and Gargano & Ciampa was AWESOME! I liked the way they challenged the usual formula of WWE tag matches. This was really back-and-forth, the heat didn't last for too long, there were a few stages of it, and I honestly thought they were setting up for a Gargano/Ciampa win at one point. They really played off what people have been conditioned to expect in WWE tag matches. Gable/Jordan are main roster ready right now.

* Dash & Dawson have the best heel attitudes : terrible name ratio in WWE. I think they are as good at being bad with those bad names as they can be.

* Samoa Joe has got presence. Really think the guy has got some value to the WWE, but I'm already sick of seeing him in NXT. It's not his fault, it just feels like he's a big fish in a small pond and is spinning his heels. Send him up to RAW and SmackDown and have him go on a tear.

* Not trying to be negative for no reason, but Apollo Crews sort of annoys me. Maybe he is that guy in real life, but it's really coming off as sappy and hokey. I liked the story they told with Finn Balor, but now it feels like same-same...but different, you know? I've heard the idea floated that Crews will reveal his true colors in the very near future, so I guess that is a possibility. Crews losing to Balor and then attacking him after a polite handshake offer the next week would get Crews pretty hot. They're going to need a new dependable heel now that Tyler Breeze is off.
