Paid Members Statto Posted September 21, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2018 Jackson Riker wouldn’t be a terrible ring name if it weren’t so horrendously misspelled. The Forgotten Sons’ music is very 2005 TNA too. I still like old Gunner though. Think he’d be better off doing a plain old powerbomb as a finish rather than that rope bouncy silliness. They’re supposed to no nonsense guys, aren’t they? Not much to add to the comments above about Pete vs Ricc. From the moment it was announced as title vs title I’d have bet my house on it ending with a UE run in for the double DQ , but it was a hell of an exhibition.
TildeGuy~! Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Yea that bounce off the ropes prior to a Powerbomb is absolutely pointless
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 22, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted September 22, 2018 Jackson Ryker is Gunner from TNA? I’m sure I’ve seen Gunner before but still had no idea.
Paid Members Statto Posted September 22, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 22, 2018 Yep, that’s the dude. He & Steve Cutler are genuinely ex-Marines as the gimmick suggests. Don’t think Blake is, though.
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 28, 2018 Awards Moderator Posted September 28, 2018 A few interesting things on this show relating to what people are discussing in the ‘How would you present Raw?’ thread. On the one hand, this week’s show gave us a reason to tune in next week (Keith Lee, Lars vs EC3), and the week after (Cole vs Ricochet vs Dunne) and the week after that (Era vs Raiders). On the other, in theory Ciampa vs Dozovic could have been a perfect example of how to do the ‘tiered’ approach to the roster that WWE proper is so sorely lacking. Position your Champion as a level or three above the tag team midcarder but give him enough to make you think he could move up to that level someday. In practice you got the tag team midcarder thrashing and dominating your Champion for most of the match which, to me, made Ciampa look weak more than it made Dozer look strong. I’m not saying it should have been Triple H vs Taka but I was hoping for more than ‘Ciampa gets squashed and only just sneaks a win’. Shit, if Dozovic can come that close to beating him, how crap must Johnny Gargano be for failing to do it?
King Mal the Glorious Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 You can spin that as Ciampa not taking Otis seriously and being unprepared and almost embarrassed as a result. I haven't seen the match yet so I'm not sure if they tried that or not.

My view might have just been coloured from reading that Raw presentation thread a few minutes before - the idea may have just been fresh in my mind so that’s what I saw.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 28, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2018 If Black was champion, that would be a fair statement. Ciampa's never been presented as a dominant wrestler though, has he? I've certainly never seen him squash anyone. He's just a dirty bastard.
TildeGuy~! Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Lacey Evans is shit, her look, her music, her ability. Yet she seems to win every match she’s involved in.
Ambulance Chaser Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Lars Sullivan's silhouette entrance is one of my favourite things in Wrestling. Nese and Gargano had a cracker. Just such an enjoyable hour is NXT.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 4, 2018 Paid Members Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah, Lars' entrance is brilliantly done. The execution is perfect. NXT has produced some outstanding entrances over the years, which never ever translate successfully to the main shows when guys get called up.
Loki Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 EC3's not exactly a showy wrestlers but he and Lars had an ok match there, they were both banged up by the end. Not sure what they're doing with EC3, he loses quite a lot of his matches. He may be treading water until a call up to the already-stacked main roster I suppose. Literally every storyline in NXT is related to or caused by the attack on Black and resulting injury. Talk about turning a sow's ear into a silk purse!

She's proper proper shit, but you missed her worst quality - that her finisher is a punch as if she's the bloody Big Show
Snitsky's back acne Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Lacey Evans was in the military and WWE rims the military so I'm guessing that's why she's there.
