TildeGuy~! Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have enjoyed this so far but it feels a bit total divas to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted November 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2015 Â Â Â God bless Dave, but he doesn't half display some signs of autism He's undoubtedly on the spectrum.Every one is. That's why it's called a spectrum. You've probably just been told that so you fit in with the other kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted November 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2015 Last nights episode was SO disappointing. It's going full blown waste of time reality show. Super contrived situations and everything. Hope that isn't usual because episodes 1&2 were fascinating. EDIT - So  i just watced it again and maybe i was a little harsh. It is dull and contrived more so than the previous  episodes but It's still worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handspants Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I've found them all pretty enjoyable so far. Â But last night's episode should clearly have been called 'Hats 'n' Bats'. Â Missed a trick there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I enjoyed this week's episode as much as the first two. Â It was a change of pace seeing more of the life on the road rather than life inside the Performance Center. Â Fair play to Big Cass for knocking off Carmella off-screen, I didn't know they were together. It appears from last night she looks much more attractive out of character than she does on NXT TV imo. Â It was odd how the narration and subtitles suggested Breeze & Jordan were genuinely having digs at each other. It just seemed to me that it was two mates winding each other up for a laugh. Jordan appears to be a joker from the other footage of him. Â There were some giggles from Breeze & Dillinger winding each other up when exploring for bats too. Â Did anyone else notice So Cal Val in the shot of fans entering Full Sail for a taping? After seeing that I did a bit of googling and it seems earlier this year she was a ticket paying customer at a few tapings, seemingly attempting to get noticed and a possible opportunity for a job. Â I'm strangely attracted to Sara Del Rey, she's lovely. I enjoyed her and Adam Pearce having fun in the gorilla postion (laughing at Drake Wuertz's improvised selfie when catching Breeze's selfie stick) and their enthusiasm. Del Rey also explaining to Regal the difference between a Wookie & a yeti was another enjoyable bit. Â Bring on next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think hard enough and understand good ole wrestling traditions, this might be more understandable ;-) Â She was also one of the NYC statues for Breeze at Brooklyn.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted November 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 I like Breaking Ground. It’s a nice insight into how WWE superstars become WWE superstars. However, I would never have imagined WWE putting out such a business-revealing show say, five years ago.  Is this the start of WWE accepting what it is and going, “Yeah, it’s predetermined. It’s a soap opera. Here’s how it works”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted November 11, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2015 See for me it doesn't so much expose the business as much as legitimize it. It goes to great lengths to show just how much athletesism and training is need. Everyone and there dog knows its a work and the majority always have. As Albert said millions think they can do what they do. This goes a long way to slapping those silly Billy's upside the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 11, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2015 Agreed on the legitimacy point. This overt stance has to stem from Triple H. Following his comment that "kayfabe is dead" on the Network Austin podcast, and going to lengths to acknowledge Max Landis' statement that "Raw is a TV programme about wrestling" Breaking Ground is the next step. Â It was odd how the narration and subtitles suggested Breeze & Jordan were genuinely having digs at each other. Â I wasn't sure about the tone of that exchange. Kayfabe~!

It is dull and contrived more so than the previous  episodes but It's still worth a watch.  It was a good show, I think you were just in-deliberately comparing it to the two previous episodes   I was sort of expecting Breeze to retaliate with Jordan backstage, probably some sort of ongoing competitive ribbing between the pair.  As for Baron Corbin, I just can't help but think that the guy is just simply a cunt.

Can’t decide if he is in character 99% of the time on this or if he is just a knob. Still it has made me much more interested in Corbin the character than I was a few weeks ago.

It's nearly fifteen years since they first did a wrestlers-in-training reality show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
