Ambulance Chaser Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Jesus it must have been a bad one, shoulder wasn't it? With the advances in the way these things are treated the lay off time seems to get shorter even for serious stuff all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted June 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2016 Apparently it was some kind of issue with scar tissue post surgery, probably not knitting back together properly. HHH said in the conference call that it was to do with that and that he didn't want him coming back nearly ready, only if he was totally sorted. So god knows when that will be as some surgeries that cause scar tissue trouble never heal. But then with the medical care and access to the best of doctors, surgeons and facilities that they have it's bound to be a very uncommon problem.

Philjax Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I heard he'd been cleared. If he comes back unannounced and boots Shinsuke in the head you'll care about him. Maybe he'll go straight onto the main roster to give him maximum recovery time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love-Wilcox Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I love Hideo but this injury has really killed his momentum. The guy had a phenomenal debut though and hopefully they have something good planned for his return. A feud with Joe or Nakamura (after a heel turn?) could be just what he needs.

King Pitcos Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 He didn't really have any momentum before the injury anyway. He was a letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I wasnt implying that I want him gone as Im sure he can still do something for them. But with the momentum Nakamura has, he needs to really make his comeback matter straight away because, as Pitcos mentioned, he had been a letdown upto that point. Being lumped with the Ascension didn't do him any favours and he should have won that 2 out of 3 Falls against Tyler Breeze. As for this weeks show: Authors of Pain is a fucking shit name. I assume that the Cien Almas/Tye Dillenger rematch wasn't a perfect 10, zonkingly massive edits in that one. I thought Finn's promo was one of his better ones, until he kept saying "what's next for Finn Balor?" Over and over. Thecrowd can fuck off with their "please don't go!" and "Balor Club!" chants too Edited June 16, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Intrigued by what's in store for the future of NXT I've uncharacteristically read the spoilers for the next two weeks.

Michael_3165 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I really don't see the fascination in Balor. He is dull as dishwater from a personality perspective, he isn't believable on the mic and sure he can do wonders in the ring but I don't get the gimmick either. Nakamura was a bit too hammy with the facial expressions during the promo but I still love everything about the guy inside and outside of the ring. He is mesmerising and I can watch him all day but I have to admit the grimacing mid-promo was a little weird. That said he is massively different to everything else on any of the shows that you can hardly moan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Sheepmask I know you did but how can you complain about the fans on this chanting 'please dont go' is fairly standard stuff for someone rumoured to be leaving and chanting 'balor club' is a thing of his. I know you dislike fans but this is clutching straws Anyhoo I thought Balor was better here too (not great but better) Nak was good but weird too The Bobby Roode stuff is weird, 3 appearences but still pushing 'has he/hasnt he' thing, Young is in a similar position Sometimes it does seem they havnt always a plan post takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you dislike fans but this is clutching strawsI don't dislike fans per se, I dislike the Full Sail fans who think they're so smart and part of the show.As for the 'Please Don't Go' thing, it's the whole "you're ours, no one else can have you" mentality of it. "No Finn, don't go up to the main roster and perform on the big stage all over the world and make something of yourself. No, stay in Orlando forever and perform to the same 500* people over and over". They're like the guy at a gig whose all "well I saw them before them were signed, and there first two albums that were on 50p records were miles better than the shite they put out on Sony". With the indie guys that have come in over the last couple of years, when the crowd fucking love guys because on nternet points, how the fuck are you supposed to build an effective heel or face? At the Cruiserweight Classic they'll be cheering for fucking everybody. They hadn't even been noticeable until the last segment Look at last year with Takeover in Brooklyn. "At Takeover Brooklyn..." "BOOOOO!" God forbid someone else gets to have a big NXT show at some point * a rough guess Edited June 16, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted June 16, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2016 I found the Balor promo cringe inducing because of the crowd. I think they chanted about five different things. Also, when anyone other than Nakamura does Nakamura's hand gestures, they look like they're having a seizure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 "Also on this week's SCG Small Claims Court, Kieran O'Rourke brings a charge of fraud against "Smart" fans for becoming parodies of themselves and exposing themselves as "marks for themselves". A possibly controversial charge, what are your takes on the modern WWE audience?" Seems apt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 They need to just shut the fuck up. Goofy looking bunch of pricks. I detest all that soppy, repetitive, sheep-esque, pussy-arsed cheerleader chanting. Watch the match & shut yer fucking holes. ADHD spastics.

Love-Wilcox Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I really love Balor and I thought his promo was great, at the very least he was able to show confidence in addressing the live audience. He's a bit wooded in those backstage skits but put him in front of a crowd and he knows how to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
