Philjax Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 That you could do currently in NXT. Maybe ever though, haha...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 26, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2016 It could well be the least interesting match-up they have ever put together in NXT, to be fair. Agree with all of Philjax's points on both guys. The Drfiter gimmick is just the drizzling shits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoTheGame Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I don't think it's the least interesting ever in NXT. The never-ending Richie Steamboat/Kassius Ohno and Corbin/Dempsey were far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Glad to see Corey Graves getting called out on his shitty efforts over the last couple of pages. I've not been a fan of his really ever, and wasn't exactly sure what people were listening too when they were putting him over. He has zero sense of how to actually build drama in a match and he'll say the dumbest thing to try and get a point over. One that sticks out is back at the Dusty Tag Classic when the story of the show is going to be Balor's knee injury. The Revival gives him one chopblock to start the story, Graves goes OTT and says "THAT LEG IS NOW COMPLETELY USELESS." After one fucking chopblock. No sense of building to the point of it being useless, and nothing he could possibly say afterwards could illustrate it being worse when you've inmediately said its useless anyway, and he only looked dumber when Balor did the Coup De Grace. You'd never hear JR, or any commentator worth his salt, say something with such authority when the story was being started. Drove me crazy.

Ambulance Chaser Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Absolute highlight of the Wrestling week so far is Corbin's interview, specifically saying after Takeover Aries can take a picture of Corbin stood over him and go sit next to Virgil at a convention and try to sell some. Just about popped a rib laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Decent go home show for Takeover. Great videos highlighting Nakamura and hyping the Bayley/Asuka title match. Alex Riley looks like Mike Awesome since he's come back. Would love to see him powerbombing cruiserweights off the top. Actually quite liked Samson's guitar playing promo. You could just about hear him over the crowd shouting all over him. Apollo seemed to be more over than I think he is purely by being paired up with Samson. Corbin's promo was decent, and yeah, great laugh for the Virgil reference. Very excited for Takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sir Steve Redgrave Posted March 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 I quite liked the look of Tucker Knight from the short moments we saw of him in the ring. Hope they do something with him when they feel he's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 Love Baron Cobin. He entertains me greatly these days. Can see him getting a huge push on the main roster. He's got great delivery on his promos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 He's grown on me a lot and I used to really dislike him at first. Well not so much dislike, I just didn't see anything there. Not only has he really come along, but you'd imagine he will get plenty of heel heat from a lot of the fans for not coming through the indies. He could end up getting some nuclear heat.

Paid Members Linus Posted March 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 The pre-Takeover conference call just confirmed NXT will be back in the UK in June - starting with Download, and then a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) He gave Aries a fair smack didn't he? He still needs to sort that hair out. I really like him, and just look at how far he's come in a year. His promos are pretty good now. he used to scream and shout, but he had lots of control in his tone and level now. The best he's looked was probably giving Aries a kicking and throwning that tshirt at Regal. Was a touch disappointed with this NXT. I loved the videos, especially that Bayley v Asuka video. However, Jordan/Gable watching The Revival on the tv in the back didn't get me excited. I thought they'd be out in thier face or The Revival might attack them after thier match. TakeOver Dallas is still gonna be awesome, but there a few matches I felt didn't get a good final build up moment on this show.

TildeGuy~! Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) The main focus for Takeover are the two singles title matches and the Nakamura debut, did Aries wrestle this week? I mainly skipped this episode but I remember reading the spoilers saying that he did, if not then Aries debut match hasnt really been given much at all. Edited March 31, 2016 by TildeGuy~!

Paid Members Statto Posted March 31, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 Chad Gable's watched some Doug Williams in his time, eh? The Chaos Theory, and now the bridging hammerlock coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Probably has with all the British influence they have in their training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted April 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) The TNA stench too bad on Doug that a trainers spot would be out the question, or would Doug not be up for that? He grew tired of the role with TNA right. Edited April 1, 2016 by Teedy Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
