Lock Jaw 09-23-2023 01:08 AM

It was definitely intentional

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 05:49 AM

Big Show switched alignment 3 times during that match, if I recall.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 12:33 PM

I couldn’t find the NXT thread, but I decided to watch some this week since they seem to be putting effort in. Some thoughts:

SPOILER: show

* Becky Lynch looks like she’s had some work done.

* Wrestling fans are fucking disgusting.

* Becky is kind of obnoxious on the mic.

* Hate how wrestlers all get their personalized graphics.

* Tiffany Stratton needs some polish. She should pay Nia Jax to be extra backup at No Mercy against Becky and then Becky should bring Jade Cargill in.

* The Family’s shtick seems so antiquated. I hate how that shit is filmed. Just be people. I was reading that Stacks, or whatever they call him, was trained by Tom Prichard. They’ve probably got a future, just ease up on the stereotype. Los Lotharios being in NXT is a good thing.

* Trick Williams can talk. He and Dominik were a cut above everyone else on this show so far.

* Noam Dar is doing a Matrix thing and I’ve got no fucking clue why. That movie is almost 25 years old. Unless they are going to WBD. One of the women with Noam has a good look even in the obnoxious gimmick.

* Butch and Tyler Bate was a bit goofy for what I imagined them doing, but some good stuff. Hope this leads to Butch winning the Heritage Cup and The Brawling Brutes backing him up against Gallus.


After this I had to take a break. It wasn’t horrible, but the “acting” on the show is so bad. Everyone is green, but that’s kind of a problem. They really need to dial back on some of these gimmicks too. Makes it way harder to care about the ring stuff.

XL 09-23-2023 12:39 PM

Oh, how have Los Lotharios managed to avoid the Autumn Clean? They’re a couple more guys in NXT most likely on main roster money (even if on the low end of the scale).

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 04:10 PM

WWE probably sees value in them. Young Hispanic dudes with no known attitude problems.

XL 09-24-2023 08:10 AM

Maybe they could be the “next Rey Mysterio” they’ve been looking for for the last 15 years?

Helmsphere 09-24-2023 08:30 AM

The next Rey Mysterio? Why would they want a man who is a horrible father and beats his son? If that's the case just rehire Alberto Del Rio if he isn't in prison already.

I doubt it, but Angel Garza has done some solid work. Good looking guy — pretty young. I just hope once their NXT stint is done they get unique personalities. Being Latino relatives who team together sinks a lot of wrestlers. Like The Colons.

Also: re-hire the Colons.

Was thinking of this Christian theme recently

Re: Jey Uso's new theme

Lock Jaw 09-25-2023 06:26 PM

I feel "bad" missing out on the work that Christian is doing right now. Clearly the best part of AEW, but I just can't commit to watching....

Maybe if MJF and Christian swapped titles that would get me to watch, not to mention start a new boom period in wrestling.

ngl, i always preferred Christian to Edge.

That's just called having good taste

Re: Jey Uso's new theme

Not even the superior, original version of At Last... you know, the one he was getting face pops for, so they had to re-edit it to make it sound more sinister:

Nah, not superior

Meltzer has lost it

Love this

As time goes on, I am really enjoying Lance Storm and his insight to the business and his stories.

LibSuperstar 09-26-2023 10:45 AM

He's a great follow for that reason. And actually has a decent sense of humor.

XL 09-29-2023 03:05 PM

Mr. Nerfect, it’s happening…

HBK on CM Punk:

“Of course, we’d welcome him here in NXT. My guess is, he would probably want to go to the main roster. I always enjoyed working with Phil. Didn’t get to do it much. I understood him. Whether you want to say there were similarities in us. I can’t lie. We were at TV, and he once pulled out his wallet, on the spot, an autograph that I had signed for him in a hotel that he still had. I’ve always liked him. I understand he’s a different kind of cat and can sometimes be challenging to get along with people, but that is probably why I like him, because I suffer from the same thing. Obviously, that’s for people to decide higher up on the food chain than I am. He’s a guy that does numbers and makes money. That would be a risk-reward ratio that from a company standpoint, they’d have to consider. When it comes to, ‘would we take him in NXT and have him on our television?’ Are you kidding me? Of course I would. I just don’t think anybody would let me. Who wouldn’t take that kind of star power? I don’t know. If I get in trouble for that, I’ll let you know.“

XL 09-29-2023 03:07 PM

Need to have the NXT locker room start being unruly and HBK can handle it so he has to bring a real Locker Room Leader.

Mr. Nerfect 09-29-2023 06:43 PM

Punk should play the gimmick Dave Meltzer made up for him. Turn NXT into a Punk branded show. Have him act like a babyface as he goes over and the internet cries. Then slowly lead people to realize he’s not the hero he wants to be presented as.

NXT Champion Punk dropping sly disses at the AEW Title and World Heavyweight Title as he smooches up to Becky and Seth gets jealous is money.

Tremendous! No way he goes to NXT though.

Man if CM Phil went to NXT and beat Dynamite in the ratings, Tiny might legit explode.

Almost 2 broken necks in the space of about 20 seconds

McLegend 09-30-2023 01:24 PM

Both are accidental.

The Meng one could be explained, because everything happened so fast. However with Jimmy Hart Goldberg clearly didn’t have a good grip on him, and shouldn’t have thrown him yet.

Basically I’m saying Meng is pure accident while Jimmy Hart is careless accident.

Well I wouldn't like to think he tried to spike both on the tops of their heads intentionally.

Helmsphere 09-30-2023 02:26 PM

Yeah cause he tried to intentionally do it to Meng, then there would be no more Goldberg.

Bad News Gertner 10-01-2023 06:04 PM

They are in Oakland so lots of Luchadors in this episode

Psychosis vs Eddie Guerrero next.

One of the better episodes of Thunder in ring.

I'm sure Brian Adams will screw that all up at some . Or Mongo, Bulldog and Anvil
