Did he get more teeth knocked out in the match? That's what people are saying
Probably will have to fix all of his teeth now and ruin his cool look :-( |

Well he handed Kurt 2 teeth so 2 came out from somewhere unless he had em loose in his mouth from the start. It might be an angle to get his teeth fixed lol

Haven't watched this week's episode yet but yikes at Shotzi's coffin drop spot.
Unlike Darby Allin and Aerostar from AAA/LU, she rotated too much and/or too quickly with her move. |

If it was gimmicked, that's the best fake tooth spot ever in terms of not being real. He took a hell of a jumping kick.

Guess Balor vs. Priest bumped off the Interim Cruiser finals.
Not really digging the card for TakeOver: In Your House outside of the NA title match. Women's title match should be very good but lost all interest in Charlotte's reign, especially with her now showing up on all 3 brands. Now had they swapped out Balor vs. Priest and Ciampa vs. Kross with the Interim Cruiser title Finals and the first or blow off match for Riddle vs. Thatcher, that card would have been way more mouth watering and up there with the all-time greats for TakeOver cards. |

Checked in with NXT for the first time in a long time because of the Pit Fight. Haven't even really been paying attention, but that felt like a big of a game-changer. Great stuff. Timothy Thatcher and Matt Riddle are so good.
* Keith Lee should beat Johnny Gargano. Honestly, I hate that they turned Gargano heel. He and Ciampa should have been two buds that could team up perpetually. I kind of wish they'd both get off NXT and go up to the main roster as a tag team. I don't have any desire to see either get a main event push, but as a tag team? Yeah, gravy. * That's why Ciampa should put over Karrion Kross too. Feels like NXT could move forward if it got rid of some of its old names and established these new acts. Karrion Kross leaves me largely unimpressed, but Scarlett is excellent. She's probably ready for the main roster as a manager for someone. She could make anyone interesting. Doesn't mean she has to leave NXT either. * If they're keeping Balor down in NXT, he should probably beat Priest. Like Priest's look, and he does movez, but I don't really feel him as a gimmick. He might be another guy that's more naturally adapt to a main roster push, in terms of at least trying to dictate people's feelings about him. Kind of disappointed we haven't got a proper Balor vs. Styles feud that I can check out on DailyMotion. Maybe Balor should lose and go to SmackDown? Or maybe Styles can do some appearances in NXT? Or maybe Balor should be an established guy for Velveteen Dream to beat out the gate? * Whether Dream wins the belt or not depends on whether there is any validity to his legal issues, I guess. Would they be using him if there was real cause to be concerned? If he's not going to be tangled up and destroyed by this shit, he should definitely win and The Undisputed Era are likely going over to the main roster. There's a reason Imperium got the tag belts and not UE. If they can't go with Dream, Cole will win and likely go against Balor himself. I expect him to drop the belt soon anyway. Can always have Dream win it from a new champ too. * Not a fan of three-ways, and I think this is kind of just there for Charlotte to drop the belt without getting pinned (even though Triple H likes to do the thing where the champ gets pinned in three-ways). I can kind of see Charlotte retaining though. I don't know which other women they have lined up, but it kind of makes sense for Charlotte to pin Io and keep things going with Rhea for later, with a "Last Chance" spot for Io down the line too. Should be your usual great Takeover from an in-ring perspective, but it's hard to get excited about things. They need to move forward with some of these personalities they're trying to establish, like Thatcher, Scarlett, Kross, Imperium, Balor or I guess Priest. |

Notice where Fandango was holding his helmet? and was it just me that thought it looked like Breeze was wanking Dango off during their entrance pose?

I watched the last two episodes yesterday.
I like the Roddy/Dexter stuff. The Gargano/Balor/Lee match should be great. Don't know who Santos Escobar or the other two guys are but I'm interested. I don't like Cameron Grimes one bit, though. |

Oh. That Scarlet segment from two weeks ago with the hourglass was very good. Don't know much about her or Kross, but I'm into it.

I don’t watch until usually the morning after due to time difference. Guess that will change when I go back to work. So, disjointed is better than nothing?

NXT attracts fans who aren’t obsessive internet fans. They’re close to AEW in numbers but don’t generate the same discussion online. A lot of their “success” (if you want to call it that) is outside the internet bubble.

Haven't watched this week's episode yet but did WWE seriously announce the return of The Great American Bash outta nowhere and with no real build to it?
Also just soo happens its being spread out as a 2 week event.

I've said from the start that I'm willing to bet the audiences are much more similar than those who take the ratings literally suspect, and that the NXT audience is much larger and diversified than USA live on a Wednesday would tell them, but they tell me that doesn't make any sense, and the reason they give is that NXT isn't in the top one or two shows on the WWE Network each week, as if that's the point. If 250k people in that demo watch it on DVR and/or the WWE Network on Thursday, sure it's got no effect on the advertising or whatever, but it'd have a younger audience than AEW. They just don't watch it live because they're supporting the other guys for now. |

Based on a check from Meltzer about a month ago, it went RAW is the youngest at 51, then Smackdown at 54, and finally NXT at 56. For comparisons, AEW was at 48 years old. |

Ratings mean nothing. It is all an estimate based on an incredibly small sample size. They also have no way to tell who actually watches what per household anyways.
A 10 year old kid watching at his grandparents house is counted as a 70 year old person watching. The data is bullshit. |

To be generous about ratings, they're basically like polling, with the data being about 54% in favor of AEW right now, with 46% preferring NXT. It's nuts that people try to literally analyze that audience or make staunch generalizations about them. I've seriously seen people say that NXT is for boomers and AEW is for young fans. |

Don't remember how that exactly works but think you have to input stuff every time you watch a show for it to register. When I was a Nielsen participant for a month a few years ago, I went with the diary format since it was the easiest and laziest option instead. |

Do we have to discuss ratings in every 2nd thread?
Anyways, I don’t like the “Big Mommy Cool” moniker. Too “on the nose” for me. |
