WyattSheepMask Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 That’s a good question, I haven’t watched it back. You are right that he doesn’t have an excuse for still being in that sort of shape when he’s supposed to be at the PC most days
TildeGuy~! Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 He was over here for PROGRESS last week, don’t WWE generally loan talent to the indies that they don’t give a toss about? Apollo Crews was over here last year too wasn’t he?
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 15, 2018 Paid Members Posted May 15, 2018 I don't think there's even any intention of Ohno getting called up - I'm sure some people are just in NXT to bolster the roster for house shows, and to give the new trainees someone experienced to work with, rather than only wrestling people on the same level as them.
BrodyGraham Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 I'm of the opinion that Ohno's there in a player/coach role. They did a profile video on .com that heavily hinted as much.
Snitsky's back acne Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Yeah I'm pretty sure his role is just to be the vet that works with the younger guys. I'm sure Samoa Joe has said he was never meant to come to the main roster when he signed he was just supposed to work NXT as the 'experience guy'
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted May 15, 2018 Paid Members Posted May 15, 2018 Latest ep wasn't the best, but Ciampa is absolutely fucking brilliant in his role at the moment. The whole package with him, including the deliberate lack of entrance music to soak in the boos, to Ranallo on commentary painting him as the most despicable bastard on the planet, is great to watch. His black eye just made him look even more evil. I like Aleister Black but he'd be my choice for champion.

Ciampa beats Black through bastardly cheating, and then if you’re going to do a Ciampa-Gargano rematch, you can add an extra layer by it being for the belt, with an additional bonus layer of the two of them being the only ones who’ve beaten Aleister, but only Johnny has done so cleanly (which in itself gives Tommaso extra hate-motivation). Yeah, I’d be happy with that.
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 17, 2018 Paid Members Posted May 17, 2018 Really fun episode this week. Dream vs. Ricochet was super enjoyable whilst it lasted, suggesting those two could have an absolute cracker if paired at Takeover, then the main event was all kinds of great. Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan are a great team. Hopefully they get a title shot. Plus, of course, Ciampa vs. Gargano continues to be feud of the year. I'll never ever get over what a fantastic job everyone has done with this. I remember when DIY first debuted, I thought they were the dullest, most faceless pair of Work Rate Wankers I'd ever seen. It's unbelievable how much I'm now invested in both guys. Ciampa in particular is just phenomenal at the moment.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Where is this Undisputed Area that Nigel keeps mentioning? It’s near the Disputed Zone?
The Dart Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 He is one of the worst commentators they've had in a while.
Guest Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 At least your dullards like Coach, Phillips, Watson, Otunga and Saxton can actually get bloody words out of their mouths. Nobody can speak perfectly 100% of the time but Nigel can barely string a coherent sentence together without flubbing his lines. I don't remember that being a problem when he did the odd bit of ROH commentary but it's unbearable listening now. Lars got some really strong heat from me breaking up that Ricochet v Dream match that was set up to be a corking mini-classic. Smooth as hell and some great chemistry there. I hope we get to see them finish the match at some point down the line.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Even when he managed to get some form of a sentence out it doesn’t make any sense. Someone mentioned about Buddy Murphy accidentally knocking his opponent out on 205 Live a couple of weeks back. The ref rightly calls for the bell, and Nigel pipes in with “that’s a good call on my part”. No, it’s a good call on the ref’s part, you didn’t do anything. That’s like Ronaldo scoring a 35 yard screamer into the top corner only for Clive Tydlesley to say “and that’s a fantastic goal by me!”. I know that seems really pedantic, but it’s basic stuff
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 18, 2018 Paid Members Posted May 18, 2018 I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but he once described EC3 as "self-effacing". The exact opposite of what he thought he was saying.
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 18, 2018 Paid Members Posted May 18, 2018 Say what you want lads, but he’s going to change the business when he finally makes that LA Fights show.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Was that that TV show that he tried to get crowd funded? Ultimate Fighter meets Breaking Bad, or some nonsense like that
