King Pitcos Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Based just on the Tweet and not having heard the Triple H quote, that seems like it might be standard "yeah maybe WrestleMania next year" pandering that WWE does to UK twonks. I wonder what they could get away with doing here, NXT-wise. It'd be mighty expensive to fly a full show's worth of talent over and/or potentially cut into ticket sales from the main tours, but perhaps they'd justify the loss due to it building NXT as a global brand. It seems more likely that they'd just do NXT title matches over here on the other shows, but they've already done that during Neville's reign I think?
biggs Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 It makes a whole world of sense to me. NXT's aim is to prepare the talent for the life of a WWE wrestler - not just the performance and athletic aspects. A huge part of that is the international tours.
Guest Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Loved that episode, can't wait for Takeover. Alexa slapping the Vaudevillans is just a piece of genius. Perfect. Owens was absolutely class at the end getting that heat I agree Bull shouldn't be back til he'll look significantly different though
KurruptZhun Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 NXT likely coming to UK: https://twitter.com/justinlabar/status/634008456278732801 This rumour has been going around for a while now. There was rumours about a small tour at small venues happening in late November / early December but I have heard nothing more for a while.
Paid Members quote the raven Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 How good was Owens? He reminded me a bit of foley in ECW when he managed to turn the fans on him after weeks of trying to be a heel and failing. "You are the john cena of wrestling fans"
Paid Members ElCece Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 I don't seem to enjoy Owens as much as most others. His character is intresting but quite honestly I'm not completely sold on his delivery I think and quite honestly I'm not totally blown away by his ring work.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 What do you lot reckon of the rumour (and its just a rumour, probably put out by the bloke himself) that Tazz is returning on this show?
King Pitcos Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 To do what? I mean, I could see him on this show as a one-off, but I can't even picture what they'd have him doing on an ongoing basis.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 Announcing. And a cheap pop because he's from the area.
King Pitcos Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah, the cheap pop on the night makes sense, but what show would they have him announcing? NXT would be best served training up rookie commentators, and I don't know who they'd sack off for him on the main shows.
Paid Members quote the raven Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 The first thing that came to mind reading the spoiler above Lets hope this does not end with Joe getting a dick painted on his face again
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 21, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 21, 2015 To do what? I mean, I could see him on this show as a one-off, but I can't even picture what they'd have him doing on an ongoing basis. It'd make a great backstage interviewer. If JoJo makes the real stars look huge, this definitely would.
WyattSheepMask Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Owens ripping the Full Sail crowd was fantastic and completely spot on. I assume it was scripted, but he was right to call them on their shit. God forbid somewhere other than them get to have a big NXT show
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted August 22, 2015 Paid Members Posted August 22, 2015 Were they really booing Takeover being held in Brooklyn? I can't say I'd noticed until Owens said it and they then followed his lead like a pantomime audience.
WyattSheepMask Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Yeah, the last two weeks anybody who has made mention of Brooklyn has been booed. Regal purposefully made mention of it because he knew they would boo and he had a great smirk on his face. They're the sort of people who would start hating a band after they sign with a bigger label and more people like them. They're a right bunch of self- entitled dicks
