dopper Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Quite impressed with McGillicutty in his match this week. How longs he been decent? He really needs a makeover though. Ā I first noticed it in November. Ā I enjoyed Michael McGillicutty's performance last night at Nottingham much more than any time I've seen him on TV.Ā The crowd did not react at all to him being introduced as Tensai's opponent. People around me were confused as to why "Two crap baddies are fighting eachother", but by the closing stages of their short match McG had showed enough babyface fire to get the crowd right behind him as the plucky underdog and a large pop greeted his win. Ā I reckon with a new look and a bit of character he could be a useful mid-carder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted February 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Apparently Ohno lost a few gnashers at the hands of Xavier woods on the recent takings of NXT. There's a photo floating around but can't post it at the moment from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 8, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 That should enhance the filthy-looking tramp look he seems to be going for. Ā The only way I'd be happy to see him called up to the main roster would be if they gave him a comedy hobo gimmick and dressed him in smelly rags.

Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That tag team title match was a load of fun. Hopefully the Brits will keep together on the main roster and give the tag division some momentum again. Ā Will be interesting to see what they do with Langston next week now that he's a heel. I'm loving NXT at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smegma Cake Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Surely the comedy tramp idea is a goer now that Hero had his teeth kicked out. To be fair I've never enjoyed any of Hero's matched on the Indy scene and the same for NXT. His look aside, he's quite shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted February 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd like to echo the praise for the Tag Tournament final, a great match. I'll confess to never having seen much of Grey & Neville over here (they were in the crop that got 'big' just after I stopped travelling around the country for pro wrestling) but I've really enjoyed them as a team. There is definitely a 'modern British Bulldogs' feel to them - Grey the larger & more powerful but still pretty agile like Davey Boy, & Neville smaller but packed with muscle, exciting & innovative a la Dynamite. Ā I also like that they have similar, but not identical gear. I know a lot of people feel tag teams should dress identically, but I quite like when a team has common themes (here, the small Union Jack on the front of the trunks & the 'swoosh' pattern) but individualities (different colour choices, Grey having the lion imagery on the back of his trunks & kneepads, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 It is pretty cool to see a British tag team, but I can't help but feel that they will struggle unless they add something to their act. They are sound in the ring, but not the most charismatic lads in the world. That's putting it nicely, too, because I do like them. William Regal acting as their manager and mouthpiece would be my choice. They will want to come up with a cool team name too, because the names they have been lumbered with so far seem almost like a cruel rib on the lads based on their timid personalities.

Ā I don't know - I rather like the name "Oliver Grey", it sounds like the name a sinister, relatively aristocratic Englishman would have. Also, it leaves me with the feeling he's got a portrait of himself in his attic which is taking all the batterings he gets in the ring, leaving him unscathed. Ā They do need a good team name, though.

Ā Like the idea, but it doesn't quite fit, IMO. "British [abstract noun]" is the way to go, but "Ambition" just sounds a bit pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
