Wrasslin Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sucks she's injured but has to be the perfect time for her to drop the title undefeated and proceed to the main roster, surely? giving it up because of injury doesn't make the title look second rate either.

Daaaaaad! Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thing is, NXT is the sort of place where you can get away with being out for six weeks without it really affecting things or requiring the title to be stripped. With the Mae Young Classic pulling focus for the women over the next few weeks, surely this is actually the 'best' possible time for something like this.

The King of Old School Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Was just going to say the same, it's perfect timing really. Next takeover is Survivor Series weekend isn't it? So a good 3 months before she has to get ready for her next major match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Weezenal Posted August 22, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 22, 2017 What's the reason/point of bringing out JR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 7 minutes ago, Weezenal said: What's the reason/point of bringing out JR? I presume it's just a feel good thing for the fans. His wife died earlier this year so most likely a gesture of good will and keeping him occupied. I can't see it being due to his commentary talents.

hallicks Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Yeah that contract he signed called for a certain number of dates per year so they're probably just using them up. I know it's the done thing to rag on him in these parts, but I still enjoy his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I used to love JR, but I can't recall the last time he sounded in any way enthused calling a wrestling match. He used to take grief for having his catchphrases, but at least when he came out with "BAH GOD WHAT A SLOBBERKNOCKER", there was passion in his voice. It's less than video game voice over quality at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Very random WWE YouTube upload of NXT and PC performers playing air hockey but they were obviously told to put as much personality into it is possible - Edited August 23, 2017 by Winston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Always liked that Thorne lad out of TM61, he is so far ahead of Miller as a performer. He always stood out with great fire and seemed to connect well with the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Thorne looked like he walked straight off of the set of an 80's summer camp movie. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2017 If Nick Miller isn't watching that video and motivating himself to be a hundred times better than he currently is, he should just pack it in. Thorne has always had a much better look but he's showing far more charisma here too. There's so much daylight between the pair of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 "Two weeks before the UK tournament, he was working in a pub" - Really Nigel? I don't think you've mentioned that before. "Dunne is vicious, used alot of joint manipulation" - Come to think of it, I don't think anyone's ever mentioned that either. "there it is again, more of that joint manipulation" - alright, just fucking stop now Uneventful episode this week, but the first after Takeover always is as it's just a recap with a couple of matches. Good tag team main event, Lars Sullivan smacking No Way Jose around was fun and Peyton Royce just showing up is always a winner. Hopefully next week we'll get the return of Regal's Believe It Or Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Have WWE only got 5 wrestlers that they can/want to use in the UK matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 24, 2017 They desperately need to find some UK guys that don't look like shite. Tyler Bate was the only guy in that match with a decent physique for the level they are working at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
