DavidB6937 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Yeah while BG has done wonders in making some people more interesting (Corbin, Carmella etc), it really showed that Apollo Crews is pretty much exactly how he is on screen.
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 13, 2016 Agreed with Dopper regarding how great the footage was of Triple H telling Enzo and Big Cas about their main roster promotion. I was genuinely chuffed for them, Enzo in particular. It was also fascinating seeing Nakamura backstage at Takeover. Even just standing around with the rest of roster he has a crazy level of charisma. It must be mind blowing for some of those guys, still learning, sharing a locker room with someone so insanely good. I love Breaking Ground. It's easily my favourite thing on the Network. I hope they record another season.
The Gaffer Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I came in to post exactly what Supremo has just mentioned. Shinsuke Nakamura looked like the coolest man on the planet sitting in the background staring at a large cake with his free T-Shirt. Really miss my fill of Robbie Brookside shouting at ZZ.
The Dart Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Apparently The Authors of Pain are going to be renamed The Legion of Doom !
Guest Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 lol, whats with them constantly trying to bring that team back/have THE NEW version of them in various forms over the years? this time they'd actually executed it well too, hope thats just bullshit
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted June 13, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 13, 2016 According to PWInsider.com, WWE recently applied to trademark the phrase “Legion of Doom”, which of course is the famous WWE team comprised of Animal and Hawk. Paul Ellering was the former manager of the legendary team, and with his return to WWE it could be possible the “Authors of Pain” might be using the Legion of Doom name in NXT. That's a stretch. It's probably for a video game or documentary.
NEWM Posted June 13, 2016 Author Posted June 13, 2016 EDIT: posted tour craic by mistake. Off to the other thread.
WyattSheepMask Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Takeover:Brooklyn 2016 is officially sold out. Every ticket gone in less than an hour- http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwenxt/article/nxt-takeover-brooklyn-sold-out
Paid Members gadge Posted June 16, 2016 Paid Members Posted June 16, 2016 Not much of note from an in-ring wrestling perspective this week, but the timing on Nakamura's music hitting in the final segment is magic. Lovely stuff.
Ambulance Chaser Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 That promo by Nakamura, this guy captivates me, I don't even know what it is, his English aint that great but his delivery, his timing, the way he waits that extra second to make sure a line has an impact. I honestly think they have something incredibly special here, let's see how things progress but I am genuinely terrified it's going to get messed up.
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 16, 2016 Awards Moderator Posted June 16, 2016 Magic's the word for it. He's just captivating, I sat up straight as soon as I heard the music. Even the way he holds the microphone makes him stand out. I can't imagine how cool seeing him live must have been for people on the UK tour this week!
DavidB6937 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Does anyone care about Hideo Itami anymore? I feel a bit bad for him. He was just finding his stride, got injured, and now Nakamura's there being everything he never was.
WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 He really needs to something magical when/if he comes back, otherwise he's just going to forgotten about and quietly released. It sucks that he got injured, but he's been off TV for over a year already and is apparently nowhere near ready to come back
