Loki Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Schism are really shit, unfortunately. There's no chemistry between the various different members, and Gacy is a bang average wrestler so the matches aren't up to much. NXT feels a bit at sea at the moment - it's not NXT 2.0 but it's not 1.0 either. There's a lot of very green talent at the moment finding their feet, which is fine, but they are missing good main event/NXT title feuds.

theringmaster Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 That match screams WCW booking! And how is a 90 second recovery time a 'penalty?' In wrestling logic they are going to come out the gate full of energy. I get in 2022 it's hard to create a new match type but surely the golden rule is something that is easy to understand? Decent episode this week Spoiler I really thought it was going to be the end of Mandy's reign so thought the end was a nice surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted November 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'm quite open minded about it, to be honest. NXT (especially this current iteration) is the place they should be trying shit like this to see if it works or if it dies on its arse. The wackier the better for me, just throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent episode this week Reveal hidden contents I really thought it was going to be the end of Mandy's reign so thought the end was a nice surprise Best I can think of is that it depends who goes in after a fall and who puts them there. Say there’s 3 people in the match before the first fall. Wrestler A pins Wrestler B to put them in the box for 90 seconds, then just as Wrestler B is about to re-enter the match, Wrestler A pins Wrestler C. That puts Wrestler B at a disadvantage in that they (and everyone else) needs to win 2 falls just to draw level with Wrestler A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Another entirely skippable episode of NXT. Dijak looks too big and out of place to be going against Wes Lee & the NA Championship, far more suited to being a Bron opponent. Scrypts also debuts. Horrendous look but impressive athlete. EDIT - just seen it's the guy Reginald under a mask. Edited November 23, 2022 by Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrestler that scores the most falls wins the match, so the more time you’re in a penalty box, the less time you have to score falls. Can’t score a goal if you’re not on the pitch.

The 'Just for Men' look doesn't scream up and comer either. Reggie's mask needs changing ASAP, one of the worst masks I've seen. I thought he was only going to wear it for the entrance. The one bright spark in the episode, was Duke Hudson's delivery to Andre Chase of 'well, I punched him'. It made me laugh, what can I say.

DavidB6937 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Scrypts looks right out of the 80s/90s and is therefore my new favourite wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theringmaster Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I loved how the second he did a move, everyone knew who Scrypt was. This week's show was essentially an all female show, no problem with that at all but I feel they missed a trick by not marketing it as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) “That’s Dijak!” ”WHO!” Oh Booker, don’t ever change 😄. And Dijak needs to tighten up that knee strike, you could’ve fit a bus through there. I’m not against Reggie getting repacked as Scrypts, but that gear is fucking horrific Edited November 23, 2022 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 11, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Shawn Michaels is such a fucking dork. He books like a nine year old. Overcomplicated scramble matches involving penalty boxes, witches cursing referees, who then vomit black gunk, Apollo Crews switching personalities when he WIDENS HIS EYES in close-up. I’d also forgotten how exhaustingly bad Booker T is at the desk. Horrendous. In terms of positives, this show is definitely worth watching for the men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, which was so full of promising talent that they made the dumb rules work. Carmello Hayes is an absolute diamond and Grayson Waller has really grown on me as an annoying little prick. The New Day were good quality, too. That’s the best Eddie Guerrero spot in ages. Are we ready to talk about Bron Breakker yet? Can we say it out loud that he’s plateaued and become quite a boring main eventer?
