Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 28, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Yeah Ibushi is still part-time/unsigned. You had unsigned talent in the last tournament too- Rhyno, Gargano and Ciampa at the time were all unsigned. I don't think Mustafa Ali or the Bollywood Boyz are signed either this year.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 28, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 28, 2016 DIY got themselves some matching gear this week so they're all good in my book! Asuka and Mickie should be good, but I hope the Liv/Billie/Peyton storyline gets onto the Takeover card. Ember Moon to be Liv's partner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Ember Moon seems to have gone to the shadows, feels like we haven't seen her for a while. It looked to me like they were setting up Liv/Aliyah vs. Peyton/Billie for Takeover, with Aliyah being from Toronto and all. Â Guessing Moon will be featured more prominently once Asuka's done with Mickie James, in time for the next Takeover... which might be Wrestlemania weekend? After NXT London was NXT Dallas, wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Last year it was London then Dallas, but they've got a Takeover before Royal Rumble this time around. Â Moon taking a bit of a backseat for now is fine as the other women need a bit of tv time too. If they were to just get fed to Moon just so that she's on the show most weeks then they're not going to get anywhere. Billie Kay & Payton Royce have largely been used in the jobber role before but now are been given some proper tv time to hone some character for themselves. I don't really have time for Liv Morgan though as she's essentially just doing the same "I'm a Jerrsey girl" gimmick that Carmella did. They've come too close together (oh er!) and there doesn't seem to really be much to her other playing upto where she's from. But, it is the developmental league after all, so hopefully she can become something in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Peyton Royce is brilliant isn't she? Â Her promo was good on last weeks episode and the faces she makes are terrific Edited October 29, 2016 by TildeGuy~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Tye is great, and I can't wait for the Canadian derby at Toronto. Even his fireman neckbreaker I'm starting to get into, when I originally thought it was duff. Â DIY is a terrible terrible name. Just makes no sense, even with the tortured explanation in their promo weeks ago. Should have gone with CGI - Ciampa, Gargano, whatever I-word they fancy. At least that could've been used as inspiration for the gear and tron. Â Disappointed Kay and Royce are just doing the bitchy sistahs routine rather than playing up the fact they both have appearances straight out of Batman & Robin style panto villainy. Both starting to show great personality even if they've still got the rookie hesitance when it comes to the actual wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Austin Aries on the shelf until at least the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2016 Austin Aries on the shelf until at least the end of the year. That's a shitter, he's been pretty decent lately. Still, at least this means him and Itami - who will also be back later this year - can pick up their feud without faffing about waiting for the other to return. Roderick Strong could be fucked short-term, he needed that tag with Aries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I don't read NXT news in case I accidentally spoil taping results, but I thought I heard someone on Live Audio Wrestling say one of The Revival were injured? Can anybody shed any light on that without giving Dusty Classic spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 DIY felt another instant failure to me as a name too, but I felt exactly the same with Jordan & Gable and Dash & Dawson but both team names grew on me eventually. I imagine it'll seem fine soon enough.  More great stuff this week as usual, up and down the card. Except Hoho Lun, he's the pits isn't he?  For all the good in NXT, they don't half have some shite tag team names.  American Alpha DIY The Mechanics TM-61 Authors of Pain  Mince, all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, not bad for a team name.  You can't count The Mechanics- they changed it months ago. Plus it wasn't used for that long, was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted November 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 1, 2016 Sorry, I forgot they'd changed it to The Revival. That's still shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah I remember thinking The Revival was worse than the Mechanics, but again, I've sort of got used to it now. Â Mind, I think in my head I still call them 'Dash & Dawson' which is still what I think they should have just stuck with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
