Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 21, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2019 It hasn’t really improved now she’s a Kabuki Warrior. Considering it’s almost always an all-male form of theatre she and Asuka are quite trailblazing. Almost like WWE just needed a Japanese sounding word for the team...

The King of Old School Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Keith Lee and Lio Rush are a great team, hope they win the Dusty Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 That opening match was fantastic. I’d not seen Austin Theory wrestle before and at face value he seems to have a lot of potential. I also enjoyed the Rush/Lee team, but I think the best way to utilise Lee right now is to move him to Raw or Smackdown. NXT will be just fine without him, and he’d give either show a shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Watching Austin Theory, I was reminded of nothing so much as a young Prototype debuting on Smackdown. Â He's got a similar look, build, and a sense of potential. Â This is definitely not his final form but he's as impressive a find as I've seen in a while.

Except for the no selling of that superplex he took. Got straight back up and had Roddy in a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted January 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2020 Dusty Classic bracket is out. Would love it if they brought Alex Shelley in as a short-term thing to partner Kushida. Actually, I'd love it if they brought Alex Shelley in permanently.

DavidB6937 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My first hope was Shelley too. So it'll probably be Fandango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out for up to a year after arm surgery. Tyler Breeze seems likely though. Shelley would be an amazing addition to NXT, possibly a cracking asset for the PC too if he fancied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very happy with that, but I can't see past a Riddle/Dunne vs. UE final. Going to be disappointed when Alex Shelley doesn't turn up now!

RedRooster Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If there’s a place for Kassius frigging Ohno in NXT, surely there’s a spot for Alex Shelley? Then again, I’m not sure Shelley should ever team with anyone again unless they’re Kevin Nash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
