Paid Members gadge Posted March 15, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2013 That was pretty much the highlight of the show this week for me. Fairly boring set of matches, that diva match being way below par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought that match was OK, but was struck by how believable Summer Rae is as a heel. Her walk down the ramp, gestures to the crowd, referee, and opponent between moves and her intensity doing the moves - I can see her fitting in to the current WWE roster nicely. Then again, Aksana shows those same qualities on NXT every other week but hasn't managed to translate it to SmackDown. As we're on the subject of NXT Diva matches, Naomi's firey performance last week was tremendous. Hopefully she gets more stuff to do this year than the shite she currently does on Raw/SmackDown.

Winston Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Bo Dallas pinning Bray. What a crock of shit that was. Bo is so bland, he really needs to join the Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I thought she was ace. I love the 'mudflap girl' recline she does on the top turnbuckle as part of her entrance, awesome. Then again, I may just be a mark for people sitting on the top rope in unusual ways, as I remember thinking it was really cool when Hawkins & Reks (in their 'People Power' advocacy phase, I believe) delivered promos sitting on the outside of the top turnbuckles, and wondering why no-one much more significant had ever done something as sweet as that.

Paid Members gadge Posted March 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 I enjoyed this week's episode much more than last week. Kruger vs Gabriel was solid. Interesting to see Kruger use Nigel McGuinness' old London Dungeon finish. Regal's segment with Kassius Ohno was very believable, as you would expect given the amount of reality referenced. The build to their eventual match is going great. The main event was transplanted straight out of DGUSA, good stuff, and the Brits/Bo Dallas vs Wyatt Family feels like a proper feud now. Bring on next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's a bit ridiculous that this is by far WWE's best show at the moment. A nice concise show where everybody has a story and is doing something. I even watch the diva's matches. Luke Harper v Pac was fun. I'm predicting Harper to do well on the main roster.

I was thinking the same thing. 2 weeks away from WrestleMania and Raw is only my 3rd favourite wrestling show at the moment, behind NXT & Impact.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I'm predicting Harper to do well on the main roster. Only if he stays with the Wyatt Family or gets some other hillbilly gimmick. He's a big lad, but not really got much of a physique on him. Doesn't fit the mould. I'm still really enjoying the Wyatt Family on NXT, but I have no idea whether they will get called up to the main roster as a collective. I hope so. I've slagged off Kassius Ohno plenty of times in this thread in the past for looking absolutely appalling but am happy to see that he's looking much better in recent weeks. He's sorted his beard out, got some better gear and looks to have trimmed up a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted March 23, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 A question for anyone who followed FCW before the NXT switch - is this current Regal/Ohno angle effectively a rehash of the Regal/Ambrose feud? I've only seen snippets of the latter or read about it, but the main facets appear virtually identical - Regal sees himself in the younger man but doesn't want him to end up haunted by the evil things he's done like Regal is now, younger man respected Regal in his youth but now wants no advice from a guy they now see as washed-up, violence ensues, Regal is remorseful about it, younger man taunts Regal by doing things like ripping off his moves (Ohno did a version of the Regal Stretch last week but, as befits the former Chris Hero, he had to put a cravat into it. Man, Chris Hero loved a cravat...), likelihood is Regal will 'snap' and be evil to him and love it once more. Just seems very similar. Not reading the spoilers as I enjoy the show too much, but working from the end of the episode just aired, I'd love to see WWE build towards some kind of 2-hour "NXT Supercard" special. No practical reason for them to do it, but I think an NXT "big event" would be great right now - backbone of it would be Langston vs. Graves vs. O'Brian for the title (Big E drops to Graves so he can move onwards & upwards in WWE), Dallas/Neville/Grey vs. Wyatt Family, Summer Rae vs. Paige, Gabriel vs. Kruger in some kind of gimmick match (ladder match for some kind of WWE opportunity- IC/US Title shot?) and of course Regal vs. Ohno. Pad that out with a couple of main roster vs. NXT up-and-comers (the likes of Woods, Dalton & Carter) matches, and that's a damn good little event, IMO.
