Mr_Danger Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 She'll be fine once she gets to the main roster and turns Big E in to Sexual Chocolate 2 with her big ol' booty.
Ambulance Chaser Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Really liked the show this week, just so easy to sit through, the hour flies by, logical easy to follow stuff. NXT don't make too many errors but boy did they mess up putting Andrade in with Tye Dillinger on a live Takeover Special at full sail where Tye is mega over for his debut, It's left Andrade swimming upstream straight away, hopefully he can turn things around as I think he is brilliant in the ring, it was a bit flat for him this week again. Lovely little tag match between Hype Bros. and Gargano/Ciampa and a couple of decent sit down interviews. Enjoyable.
pryko Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 What the fuck is with that annoying sound effect they've added to the theme song? I caught up with the last 2 shows last night and noticed that on the 2nd episode. I started looking around thinking it was something else in my room, or my laptop
NEWM Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Really liked the show this week, just so easy to sit through, the hour flies by, logical easy to follow stuff.

Lovely little tag match between Hype Bros. and Gargano/Ciampa and a couple of decent sit down interviews. Enjoyable. Exactly what I came in to post. I quite like Andrade (apart from the name, but even that isn't as bad as it was originally), his offense is way more impressive than I thought it would be, but they've proper knackered him with the crowd thanks to the Tye matches. The "Who is really a heel in NXT?" issue is the bigger problem, because what you need is a proper shitbag for him to feud with to get the fans onside but the Drifter isn't going to cut it and Austin Aries would only give them the same problem. I like the Hype Bros enough as a team, but the more I think about it, you could have Mojo turn on Ryder and go all in as a bully heel. He'd be easy for the NXT crowd to dislike, he's nowt special in the ring, the motivation for his turn would be simple, and the internet generally thinks he's a cunt anyway.
The King Of Swing Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Problem with Mojo is that I suspect being "hype" is all he is capable of and would struggle with any other role. Could be wrong of course. EDIT. Notice they dropped the whole mic routine from Carmella's enterence this week. She desperately needs a change of gimmick.
Love-Wilcox Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Another really solid show this week. The womens match was a decent effort and I'm loving Alexa Bliss more and more each week. The tag main event was so much better than I was expecting as usually I can't stand the Hype Bros (well, mostly Mojo) but even they were good this week. I'm also enjoying Gargano and Ciampa's slow steady rise. Typically guys are brought in as either jobbers or superstars from the off so its refreshing to see two guys who were brought in as "enhancement talent" slowly get more and more wins under their belt after what seemed like endless losses to the point that they are now in contention for a possible tag title shot. Also Jason Jordans belly to back suplex on that chunky lad was fucking sick.
wordsfromlee Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I love how dead in the eyes Zack Ryder looks when he has to do the Hype Bros entrance.
DavidB6937 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I always thought he must feel like shit when they got together but even more so now he's had a Wrestlemania moment and now he's still stuck with bloody Mojo. How depressing for him.
The King Of Swing Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Said it before and I'll say it again. Hype Bros is just a huge rib at Ryder's expense.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 1, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 1, 2016 quick note, but the Nakamura/Balor face off they did on the TV show was one of the best TV segments ive seen in ages, simple but so effective.
TildeGuy~! Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Hideo Itami returned to NXT last night and competed in a six man tag.
cobra_gordo Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Notice they dropped the whole mic routine from Carmella's enterence this week. Not watched the episode yet but thank God for that. That entrance was a big part of Carmella being fast-forward material for me.
WyattSheepMask Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I've never noticed it before, but Balor suffers from 'Michael Owen "You know..." Syndrome. In two and a half minutes, he said "you know" 28 times Agreed with what's been said about Andrade Almas and said it myself just after Takeover. Sticking him against Dillenger was a bit of a error, not that the matches were poor or anything, but when Dillenger gets the reaction he does despite supposedly being the heel it was always going to be a case of Almas struggling to get the reaction that was intended for him. The crowd are already seemingly getting sick of that pose he does in the ropes already, so hopefully that gets dropped sharpish. That Austin Aries interview- either he was stood on a box or that interviewer is a foot tall I can see The Hype Bros being brought up in the draft to make up the numbers
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 1, 2016 Paid Members Posted July 1, 2016 I've never noticed it before, but Balor suffers from 'Michael Owen "You know..." Syndrome. Becks was the worst for that. Before his elocution lessons he was insufferable.
Philjax Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I assumed the Carmella minus mic this week was because she would have technically done it just an hour and a bit previously for her match two weeks ago when they taped......
