DavidB6937 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Apollo is the kinda guy that should benefit from NXT in the long run by working with guys ahead of him. He hasn't come in ready for the big time. He has clear potential but they need to find that 'something' to push him forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I can see Riley stepping up as heel. I'm not too sure what he is now but there is room for him to step it up a little bit, he looks the business and would probably do a good job.

TildeGuy~! Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 More of a jobber filled NXT this week. Carmella did look good in the main event though, she's come on leaps and bounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yeah fair play to Carmella she looked good. Good post match angle as well. Jordan and Gable are money. The two man commentary team is so much more tolerable than the three man mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Just watching the show now, anyone else notice the massive jump cut in the Bliss/Cameron match? Bliss missed the double knees by a country mile and then heads to the top, she's up there in a nanosecond and Cameron has moved three foot closer. What's the deal with Gargano, and Ciampa for that matter? Are they signed or not? If they're not, isn't this TV time that someone else could be benefitting from, or do they have so few people TV ready (by developmental standards) that they have to bus in guys from the indies Edited February 11, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boytoy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Apollo Crews is still a work in progress. They pushed him as an indy darling coming in with international pedigree but hes still in the early stages of his career and hadn't quite made that level yet. He's still improving and playing catch up. Hell be fine. This. I think most people forget that NXT is a developmental show. The best thing about NXT is watching people improve and everyone on that roster has areas in which they can improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Really enjoying Corbin, he has made great strides in my opinion. Good crack between Alpha's and Enzo/Cass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good to see that even in a run-in and beatdown, Nia Jaxx is absolutely fucking useless. It is developmental for a reason I suppose, but when the good on NXT is world class good, her shite doesn't half stick out. Those rotten Hulkbuster legdrops and her seemingly accidentally sabotaging poor Eva Marie doing such a piss job holding Carmella up for her to deck her. What a terrific main event, despite that. Could have had another few minutes of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Corbin has undoubtably improved between the ropes, but I haven't seen any improvement or development of the character since day 1. The man said himself on more than one occasion in 'Breaking Ground' that it's so different coming from American Football where you're encouraged to show no emotion to wrestling where your expressions are so important. So he knows that he should be more animated, but still only shows that one blank look. He looks at the crowd blankly during his entrance, looks blankly at his opponent before locking up, and looks blankly at the hard camera after winning a match. I enjoy his matches most of the time, but can't see me getting invested in a feud he gets in anytime soon. Mental note for UKFF Awards: Alexa Bliss vs Cameron is my current front runner for Worst Match of The Year. I really enjoyed the main event. It was a very enjoyable match in which Carmella proved she can keep up with the best, followed by an effective but subtle post match angle. I liked how seeds were planted for a number of scenarios in future involving all 5 women without having it spelled out for the viewer. That gigantic gentleman wearing a bright red tshirt in the front row is going to be very distracting over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWM Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Corbin is ever-so-gradually growing on me too, but I'm often distracted by his very long, closed, flat belly button that looks like he's had his appendix out. Now I hope you guys are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mal the Glorious Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think we're all aware of his mouth belly. Still, he could make a decent main event heel in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 No character development for Corbin? He's got a far greater clearly defined heel character now that the nothingness he started with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Are the current shows the ones where someone who sent in the live report to a dirtsheet apologised for the rest of the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
