Philjax Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Can anyone confirm whether Eva Marie was on these tapings? Getting a little worried that they moved her up quietly after the Mania match like Emma, although I haven't seen her on the TV yet. She absolutely HAS to be the one to undeservingly dethrone Asuka down the line.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 Did Aries brainbuster Abyss in TNA, or have I imagined that? He definitely did it on Bubba when he won the title, and pretty sure he's done it on Joe a few times. Ā The Roaring Elbow is a decent 'secondary' finisher for him on the likes of Dawkins (although he's a smaller guy, he's always come across to me as pretty hard hitting) but I couldn't envisage him cold-cocking a Corbin or Joe with it, unless it's really well built/protected as a deadly precise misdirection strike. Ā I'd imagine the Last Chancery will come into play when he gets into some bigger matches. He's used a 450 before too, IIRC - no-one's got that patented since Gabriel, although Styles did do the springboard one against Jericho and got a 2-count.

Paid Members Gordon_The_Gopher Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 When you look at the NXT jobber set up I can't help but think of Danny Burch as an 'Iron' Mike Sharp competitive match guy. This pleases me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 She absolutely HAS to be the one to undeservingly dethrone Asuka down the line.... Ā Yes, this is what I'm worried about too. Seeing her called up for the WrestleMania match panicked me into thinking we're going to miss out on a genuine nuclear heat moment of her winning the title from Asuka. Seriously, that will be some spectacle if/when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It'll go one of two ways. Either they will all sorts of shit in the ring or they'll just sit with their arms folded chuntering away to themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 No it doesn't, sometimes the TV just takes a relax to do squash shows, other times you get story driven shows. It's fine. Nobody wants Takeover quality every week. The burn out would be fast. True but you still need a hook and too often it doesnt have one. It probably doesn't need one because it's not on TV and it relies on the people who'll watch regardless but when we talk about it as being a great TV show - I'd disagree for the reason stated. It's always inoffensive but it's often not a great TV show because you just don't need to watch it. Ā I've managed for 80% of the last two years just reading this thread.

Although I'm not sure that would sit so well with me because Sasha. Ā They wont do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 Put both titles on her. Have her pick up some faked titles (and give her the Diva belt), and have her come out like Ultimo Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I quite enjoyed the jobbers showcase. It's almost refreshing to have a show where the outcome is obvious instead of the usual 50/50 booking thats killed wwe's midcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yeah, as an NXT newcomer, I really enjoy the fast paced approach and the squashes. Ā It would be a shame if it became a generic show where a "PPV" was considered nothing more than a slightly bigger version of the weekly show.

The Dart Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 They did Nakamura v Samoa Joe on a house show last night, which was amazing apparently. Bound to happen at a Takeover or on TV eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted April 16, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ā Ā They did Nakamura v Samoa Joe on a house show last night What a waste. That's how you figure out how two guys work together. It's how the business has always done it,you trial the match away from the cameras and figure out the reaction. Ā It's (one of) the reasons we never got Hogan v Flair in the early 90s WWF, the house show matches just weren't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
