Mr Butternut Squash Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) NXT resembles a competent wrestling promotion. Its hilarious that the main roster has gotĀ so rotten that HHH is now seen by the internet asĀ good cop to Vinceās bad cop. ItādĀ be interesting toĀ see how Trips does when heās stripped of the freedom the wwe networkĀ bringsĀ and is beholden toĀ sponsors and the coperate structure.Ā And fiveĀ fucking hours a week of live tv.Ā The gut tells meĀ things shouldĀ improveĀ as heās at heart, āa wrestling guyā, but heāsĀ got his own booking flaws and Iām sure heāll ram his favourites down your throat just like Vince. Biggest feather in his cap I think is heāll improve the womenās division immediately.Ā Edited July 12, 2019 by Mr Butternut Squash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I have heard interviews with wrestlers talking about Vince being at gorilla at NXT, Ā heās not as hands off as the new era of Triple H is our saviour crowd Make him out to beĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Xtreme_lives Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'm a little bit removed from NXT over the last month so will be binging out shortly prior to summerslam weekend. However I'm visiting family in Chicago Survivor Series Weekend and will get the chance to go to Takeover. Any idea or rough predictions as to what they may build towards for War Games?

TildeGuy~! Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Considering it isnāt till late November we wonāt have an idea of the card until after the first couple of tapings are done in August/September, obviously theyāll be a War GamesĀ match but other then that itās anyone's guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 15, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2019 My months-and-months-away guess: they've been plugging the 'Adam Cole has promised Undisputed Era will have all the belts in 2019' thing for a while now. I reckon Roderick Strong will get the North American title and Fish/O'Reilly will get the tags, then the four of them will go up against whoever the four top babyfaces are in November in War Games for all the belts. Let's say... Matt Riddle, Velveteen Dream and A Tag Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Xtreme_lives Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah i was thinking it would be used as the undisputed era's big all belts match, just curious really Looking forward to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Wouldnāt be suprised with that, they seem to love āWinner Takes Allā matches at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Mustang Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I mean, going to takeover is never a bad experience. Theyāre doing double tapings in mid September though, so a quick spoiler google after that will tell you everything you need to know as they will have filmed the take home show.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 21, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) UKFF is back! I had various thoughts on this week's episode... Ā - Enjoyed Riddle vs. Ruas. Riddle's properly settled into his role now I think, but I wish Ruas would just go full Eddy Gordo with his capoeira stuff. Dain felt like a bigger deal in two minutes here than he's been the entire time on the main roster (ditto Apollo Crews later in the show - he must have never had a reaction a tenth that positive on Raw or Smackers). Ā - Is Mia Yim a babyface. Because this time last year, assaulting a fellow member of the NXT roster in the car park outside and leaving them for dead was A VERY BAD THING. I don't like her. Ā - Still don't get the fuss about Kushida. Ā - Interesting that they're now acknowledging the fact they're done fuck all with Keith Lee in a year. Will they break the holding pattern with him soon? Ā - Street Profits are great. Tag division feels a bit screwed when you remove them from it though. Ā - This week's Breakout Tournament match was my favourite so far. For the first time is felt like both guys hadĀ charactersĀ and something you could latch on to. Bronson Australian (clearly named after the kid fromĀ Round The Twist) was enjoyable to watch - like a good Bull Dempsey? - and the other guy, whose name I have forgotten, was great. I don't know what his deal is but he clearlyĀ hasĀ a deal and I want to know more. - Ryker is wayĀ smaller than they want you to think he is. He didn't stand any taller than Tyler Breeze in their segment. Least they could have done wasĀ stand him on a box or something. Ā - Main angle was fine but I can't claim any excitement for another Gargano vs Cole match. I can't see an outcome that works out. Gargano wins and he's just back where he was six months ago, and UE can't fulfil that 'all the belts' promise. Cole wins, and where do you go with Gargano from there? Presuming they still don't want him on the mains. Edited July 21, 2019 by HarmonicGenerator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted July 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 21, 2019 So Sam Shaw from TNA, who was playing a Dexter-esque character, is now in NXT named Dexter playing a similar character. Tremendous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfoote Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 He's still greener than a DX glowstick, but if the rumours about them pairing him with Stokely as a mouthpiece, could be a good classic-style big man. I mean, he makes Drake look like Swoggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Iām not familiar with what Bronson Reed has done before coming to NXT, and while I didnāt mind what he did in the match, all I could envision was Vince taking one look at him and thinking āyes, we can do Rikishi again!ā. And yes, Mia Yim phsyically assaulted someone in public. Thatās fine now apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
