Wrasslin Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 I don't get how they struggle so much with this? WCW used to nail the three man booth format a lot of the time. Play by play guy. Colour guy Analyst who they throw to for stats/insight. Shouldn't be that hard.

No need for it. It’s full of the crap that NXT doesn’t need. It’s filler, OTT, unrefined NXT fodder. (Bar a couple) When was the last time you watched 205? Since the reboot it's been a consistently good hour of wrestling TV. I do think it suffers from it's placement but I'm excited about it now that it's what it should have been from the off.
WyattSheepMask Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 The Takeover that just had Ranallo and Watson was so much better than anything with the three of them. Nigel either struggles to get his words out “the undisputa...era. Either way, the area are up against it” or just talking utter bollocks like the “self-effacing” comment from earlier

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 10, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 10, 2018 There was a moment during Takeover’s main event where the commentators were sent running. I noticed Percy Watson moving out of the way, and I could hear Mauro Ranallo still commentating. Despite hearing him for the last two and a half hours, at that precise moment, I couldn’t remember who the third man on the desk was. I think that sums up Nigel McGuinness perfectly.

The best part of this is that Nigel McGuinness was the only one who stayed on mic. I found myself getting irrationally angry during that spot, though, as Percy Watson got absolutely clocked in the head by a wrestler getting thrown into him, and seconds later was back up on his feet. You're off-mic anyway, Percy, stay down and sell it!
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 10, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 10, 2018 Haha, really? I thought it was Mauro! Even better. Couldn’t even recognise him when he was speaking.
BrodyGraham Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 The crowd chanting 'Mama Mia!' at Mauro getting clocked was my chant of the weekend.
Otto Dem Wanz Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 Kyle O'Reilly and his daft facial expressions have really grown on me recently

The air guitar-ing makes him so smugly unlikeable. Imagine that only a year or so ago he was messing about as a babyface pseudo-MMA fighter in ROH.
Paid Members JLM Posted April 10, 2018 Paid Members Posted April 10, 2018 I loved him during his entrance going to do the air guitar and then deciding he was too sad about his apparently solo tag title defence. Roddy is absolutely charisma-free but I feel it’s a bit harsh to call the rest of them “vanilla midgets”.

He doesn't know what half the shit he's saying even means. IIRC, the full description he used was "Arrogant & self-effacing". Christ. My wife picked up on it immediately, so I pointed out McGuinness went to the same grammar school she did.

He talks utter shite at times, but it’s usually simultaneously brilliant. Look at that sheer enthusiasm. He’s a good, likeable version of Joey Styles.
