DJM Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 The previous NXT thread seems to have been locked and I have not seen a new one created (apologies if one has been). Anyway, last weeks "New Year's Evil" show was pretty good, with Raquel Gonzalez vs. Rhea Ripley in a Last Woman Standing Match and Finn Balor vs Kyle O'Reilly for the NXT title both really solid matches (the rest of the show was an easy watch as well). The return of Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was announced as well (both Men's and Women's this year). The brackets for the Men's Tournament have been released today (with a mystery MSK team): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I actually really enjoyed last week's show. Definitely one of their best in a while. Will be interesting if they can continue the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted January 13 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) NXT has been consistently good for a while now, but I think everyone is now in the habit of prioritising Dynamite (myself included) which means that you end up discussing Dynamite first then just never get round to discussing NXT. For their own sake, they really need to switch nights. MSK is surely The Rascals? Edited January 13 by Nick James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenryck Pilchards Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I am hoping it is the offspring of Pete Gas and Rodney so we can have the Mean Street Kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollthedice Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 F4W have solved it: WWE announced last month that The Rascalz's Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz have signed with the company and have joined the WWE Performance Center. They'll either be MSK or not in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking bit of reporting, there. They’ll either be in the tournament as the surprise team or not in the tournament that’s otherwise fully announced. Last week’s Last Woman Standing match was super fun. Gonzalez is a superstar in the making. Edited January 13 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Seem alot of talk of Rascals being MSK, what is the link between those names? Pure guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I’d never seen Kyle O’Reilly before, but last weeks match with Balor was brilliant. I was convinced he was seriously hurt after the teeth/rope spot. Sure he said ‘I’ve fucked my teeth’ slyly to the ref... if that was just working, that’s phenomenal.

Joe Blog Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 21 minutes ago, d-d-d-dAz said: I’ve fucked my teeth’ This reminds me of when I found myself down a Youtube rabbit hole watching a 'Biggest fails' compilation. Anyway there was a bunch of lads wrestling (rolling around) on a trampoline shouting wrestling moves. All of a sudden this absolute slab of a kid dives onto the trampoline with a fucking claw hammer in his hands, he bellows "Piledriver" and launches the hammer at his mates head, why he thought a piledriver involved hurling a hammer at your mates head i'll never know. The daft lump obviously has never attended a P.E or Physics class as he completely misses his friends head and the hammer bounces off the trampoline and into his mush prompting him to bellow in a very southern accent. MAH TEETH AH FUCKED MA TEETH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) MSK - Wes Lee and Nash Carter Da Rascalz have been el generico'd. Fun addition to the tae division though. Edited January 14 by Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted January 14 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 14 Another decent show from NXT this week. Something needs to happen with UE soon, though. Its been the same stuff for the last few years, one of them needs to turn, which i presume is KOR. Balor looked boss in his segment and Pete Dunne continues to be great. I like the little trio of Dunne / Lorcan / Birch. Wes Lee and Nash Carter for me, sound better than Desmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz. Their old names sounding akin to the old Johnny Kickpads, not often NXT make improvements on names. Xia Li is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted January 14 Paid Members Report Share Posted January 14 Not keen on the name Nash Carter, purely because it's within a week of Ben Carter debuting in NXT UK. Shows how little oversight Vince has of those brands, as I doubt that's something he'd have let slip on the main roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Balor was great in his promo, he's not a great talker but the Irish accent really adds something. Not seen the rascals/MSK before nothing bad or good about them, unfortunately guys like them are dime a dozen now. Agree about UE, something needs to be done with them, I'd assume a call up post Mania has to happen Ciampa and Thatcher was good, both intense with Psycho eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
