The NXT Discussion Thread

[sivy]

I do like the Green and Page duo, they seem to have good chemistry. 

Evans is definitely a star in the making but I do think he loses here because you'd think they would have built it up more rather than 5 days of the show. 

When it comes to Blake Monroe I do think because her angle with Toni Storm was so strong that anything she did would be underwhelming.

I do quite like the idea of an unexpected title win though. Oba's title matches often seem a bit of a foregone conclusion so I think it'd be a good way to play out him maybe underestimating Evans or something.

The most offensive part of NXT are Blake Monroe’s promos. 

She’s not that bad! I thought Grace was the weaker link in that segment to be honest. Monroe was unspectacular, but solid enough.

I know it's unlikely but I'd love if they pulled the trigger on Evans. He's the best and most unique talent they've had in ages.

Yeah, I totally agree. Either Femi or Williams should end up on the main roster sooner rather than later, if not both of them. Raw and Smackdown both need fresh faces, and the pair of them would be excellent additions to either show, providing they’re not pushed into sidekick roles in the way Breakker has been. 

I’d like to see them brought up and placed immediately into major feuds. Femi in particular feels like a Wrestlemania main event waiting to happen, although they’re both very good.

I actually thought that too. I've only really seen matches of Grace before from TNA and didn't follow her character too much, but always enjoyed watching her wrestle.

She strikes me as someone who shouldn't be talking like that or doing those promos. It's bringing a human element that I don't really need from her, and it doesn't feel like she can pull it off that well. Just let her smash shit up.

Blake is fine. At least what she's doing feels more natural for her character.

Personally never seen the fuss around Grace, never got it. She has no star ability to me and looks like she is gassed to the gills, I'm convinced most people like her because twitter tells them to like her.

She also openly calls wrestling fake online which is a big red flag to me (and strange when you consider who her husband is)

She is. The very noticeable voice change is due to steroids she was clearly using for her bodybuilding. 

[gmoney]

Yeah, being on steroids has always been a major hurdle for someone to becoming a star.

Grace is fantastic, has always had fantastic presence, even before she got in the shape she's in. I'd strap a rocket to her on the main roster.

If she still is then WWE's Wellness Policy has clearly gone the way of the Dodo.

In fact, thinking about it, I guess it quietly did quite a while ago. Nobody can tell me that AJ Styles and others wouldn't have been suspended for wellness failures - or is it just fines now?

Have you seen Randy Orton? 

[sivy]

I thought the six women tag match was much better than I thought it would be. Jacy since winning the belt has grown in the role. 

[Snitsky's back acne]

If there is any justice in the world, Oba Femi should become a massive star.

That is all. 

[DavidB6937]

Main event and Grace/Monroe were both worth watching.

TNA Knockouts match would've been good but the ref decisions made no sense whatsoever.

Some interesting announcements coming out of the show last night, most notably going back to Full Sail for a one off tv taping in 3 weeks

[DavidB6937]

Very very low bar but the blindfold match this week was the best thing Lexis King has ever done.

[RIDDUM_N_STYLE]

Interesting move having DIY show up this week, not only as de facto faces in the segment with Trick, when they’re heels on Smackdown, but also they came out to ‘Chrome Hearts’ rather than the Def Rebel theme they have on that show
