Loki Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Dan Matha is sporting more roids acne than I've seen in WWE since Snitsky. Bet they're lining up to wrestle him. I'm really enjoying NXT at the moment, but mainly as it's like a TNA-lite from a few years ago, with Joe, Roode and Aries all doing their thing. I don't think Roode has quite found his feet yet but he's still hugely entertaining. Joe is, right now, the best heel in the whole of WWE, and I can only imagine they're thinking of big matches for him on the main roster in the next 12 months. Joe v Lesnar please! Conversely, Hideo Itami is just... boring. Sure, he's flashy in the ring but he has absolutely no character or charisma. When he first turned up in NXT, it was a different landscape and being Japanese was enough. But now you've got Nakamura and Asuka being fantastic on the card, he just comes across as super generic.

WyattSheepMask Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) They've only got 1 takeover to get through before the Mania one. I'm expecting the rush Ember Moon to the match but maybe not winning it in November. Liv could be in some sort of storyline failing that I really don't know what they've got to even keep her busy with minimal appearances. Not sure who I would bring down to feud with her in the meantime either. I'd have thought they would do another Takeover before Wrestlemania. As they've just announced the Royal Rumble for the Alamodome in San Antonio, maybe get one that weekend at a nearby venue Edited October 1, 2016 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 That the guy who used to play for Port Vale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Confused by the Asuka-Liv Morgan match. Either they are going to go for an angle with Liv asking for another chance (or several) and showing improvement, or it's the only way they have of keeping Asuka on-screen. The match did less than nothing for Liv, and arguably nothing for Asuka either as she's already known as an ass-kicking machine. I was thinking the same thing. Liv asks for rematches and last longer each time, earning Asuka's respect in the end or something. As you say, otherwise I cannot see what the match achieved.

d-d-d-dAz Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hugo Knox is the Port Vale keeper yeah, Stuart Tomlinson. Did he ever make it to TV? I presume he was all look, no wrestle?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I don't think he ever got on the NXT show on the WWE Network, maybe one or two appearances as a jobber? He was on Breaking Ground though, he was mates with someone, I think it was Nia Jax when she was choosing her entrance music and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah, I seem to recall him in a tag match. Might've been Breaking Ground if it wasn't NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 2, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2016 He definitely had a tag match on an episode of NXT (don't ask me specifically which one though!) Can't remember who he and his opponent faced, but it was, "Here's some young upstarts from the Performance Center." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Saw Hugo wrestle live in Liverpool a few months back against Wesley Blake, he did ok, nearly botched a moonsault but recovered well Was it the split legged moonsault that RVD used to do? Cos he nearly botched that against Sawyer Fulton when they did the first night at Download. He also took a really hard back bump which seemed to bugger him up quite a bit. He didn't seem too bad considering the amount of time he'd been training/limited experience. It was competent enough. I only remember seeing him on NXT once right at the start of the year when they did those takings at Uni of Central Florida and he was just in the jobber role that night. Unless he's lined something else up for himself it's a But of a silly thing to just up & quit though. If you get released that's one thing, but to actively walk out makes people look at you differently. Best of luck to him all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted October 2, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2016 Just Googled Hugo Knox to see what he looked like. If he did decide to quit then he's made a big mistake. With a physique like he had he would have definitely made it to the main roster, and would've had a million more chances than the average guy. He was ripped to shreds. Vince would've loved him.

Philjax Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I'm sure she's been mostly forgotten but the MMA chick in black from that 6 woman tag they did not long ago certainly looked the part for a mini push. EDIT: Daria. I see she's relatively inexperienced being from Tough Enough, however the legit MMA background probably gives her an edge, especially in a Asuka match.
