Before the announcement of the WWE Network, I always envisioned NXT eventually putting on "specials." I always imagined Bo Dallas vs. Sami Zayn in a Ladder Match for the NXT Title and Paige vs. Emma for the Women's Title at the very first one. Tyler Breeze vs. Adrian Neville would have been a nice touch, as well.
I hope that in the future, NXT runs a "Clash of the Champions" live show, with the NXT Champion vs. WWE World Champion, NXT Tag Champs vs. WWE Tag Champs and Women's Champ vs. Divas Champ. You could also run an IC Champion vs. US Champion match if you wanted to pad the show out. |
Holy shit that special is sounding pretty awesome!
|
Now that NXT is part of the WWE Network, I wonder if they will make more of an effort to push the brand as something worth watching. It has probably been the best booked show the WWE has for a long time. Michael Cole even called it his favorite on SmackDown.
|
Push as in a lot more promotion in general for NXT or for them to get a lot more hands-on with the show?
Would be great if it got a lot more promotion but would be really wary of the WWE meddling too much causing more harm that good down the line. The WWE being very hands-off with NXT has been one of its biggest strengths so far. |
Tyler Breeze was pretty great in his segment with Neville. Neville ain't that great at talking, though.
|
I just meant more promotion and more of an emphasis on what is going on down there. I wouldn't want things becoming too meddled up down there.
I absolutely loved how Kane brought up the petition Xavier Woods started. |
Neville doesn't usually do great promos, but sometimes I've heard him speak and have been pleasantly surprised. Real hit or miss.
|
More like "the man mother nature forgot...to make good looking"

Good match between Neville/Breeze. Best I've seen from Breeze yet.
That Rusev/Kingston match was the first time I have seen the NXT fans dump all over something. I like Rusev, he just need to learn to be more... I dunno... "interactive" with the fans. Engage them more. |
Rusev is flat out boring.
|
He's gone slightly downhill since changing his hair style and doing away with his wooden boards. I still see potential in him though. I loved his debut match against Dolph Ziggler. Possibly still his best work.
|
He seems like he can work just fine, but the character is just so played out.
|
Yeah, character needs work

Rusev is fine. He and his valet, whatever have a Ivan Drago/Ludmilla Drago feel to it. |

Rusev isn't that bad as a wrestler but his biggest problem is he's slowly becoming just another typical big man monster heel that Vince/WWE still favor way too much. He's a bit bland character-wise now for NXT but fits perfectly as someone to be fed to Cena/another top face for the main roster like almost every other big man heel. |
I think Rusev has potential, there's just something that needs a bit of tweaking. Maybe Rusev needs a slicker look?
|
I'm really digging Tyler Breeze. Everything he does is just #EMMAzing.
|
Rusev looked pretty good this week. Also, I like Summer Rae a lot.

How dare you spin Cesaro
|
Love that spot.
|
|
Watching NXT right now. Legit happy that The Miz got slapped.
|
Adrian Neville's accent is terrible, as are his ears. He will never be a star because of these two things.
|
They need to give him a half-Orc gimmick.
|
CJ Parker has got all the tools, but he's been in the wrong role. We'll all be on his dick when he adjusts and becomes a bitter heel.
|
He's sooooo fucking bad. Not like Bo Dallas who is so bad that he's hilarious, but plain bad.
|
Yeah, CJ Parker is fucking horrible, plus he has the name of a Baywatch lifeguard.
|
Fuck CJ Parker. There, I said it.
|
Adrian Neville's match this week featured an ironic *Awkward Silence* chant
|
Also, CJ Parker moves like an absolute mongoloid. Should give his head a shake.
|
PMFSL, Cesaro's face chant of *We The People*...Commentary team cover up *William Regal*
|
Holds mic up to The Miz...He talks....Move mic away...He keeps talking at the same audible level..
|
Without wanting to seem sexist...Womens only purposes in wrestling are causing distractions.... ffs get these bints out of the ring..
|
Oh the disappearing mic trick again :-/
|
Seriously, if they sound exactly the same with or without Devin Taylor there, why is she there?

I kinda wish the show was 90 mins. An hour is just not enough, but two hours might be too much. Just 30 mins of promo time, all I'm asking. Tyler Breeze vs Colin was a great finish. I was going to be mad if Tyler went over, but I was also going to be made if Colin went over cleanly. They did what I wanted, which left me a happy fan. I wish they would have mentioned Russev in the rumble. A guy who has beaten Kingston went into the rumble- that's news worthy. CJ Parker VS The Miz.... I'm not sure what would have been more upsetting. Parker going over Miz, or Miz going over Parker. At this point I was too shitfaced to care. I can't recall the exact word, but during the Bailey vs Banks match, Rene Young had the perfect opportunity to make an EMMA pun, and passed it over... Now that I think about it, I think the word was Emanating. They said Camacho is now a singles wrestler, which makes me wonder (in KayFabe) what the fuck happened to Hunico? Pretty sure in Post Production they threw the word "Wolves" in the Ascension match when they mentioned The American Pitbulls. Or was it the other way around? Either way they're signed by TNA so I couldn't care less. The ending was... mild. I'm pretty sure you could hear a guy in Row 19 Seat GH text his wife saying "I'm having an affair with you, I swear. I'm not watching a contract signing that the fans are not into." All in all.... As much as I love Prince Pretty, this was the worst NXT I've seen, ever. |
Tyler Breeze is glorious. Friggen love him.
|
Poor CJ O'Doyle. He moves up from getting ball clawed in the 3PW midcard ten years ago to jobbing to Millennials in curtain jerk FCW matches.
SPOILER: show |

That was terrible to be honest.

NXT should hire George Zimmerman. He's a good guy looking for work. He's a neighborhood watch leader too.
|
Could be a modern day Big Boss Man.
|
I've got to be honest, I was never a big supporter of Leo Kruger's. It's not that he was bad or anything, he was just...there. His ring work was solid, his mic work was appropriately creepy. I thought the character came off well, but I just didn't really invest too much in it.
Adam Rose might actually get Kruger over far more than the serious character did. Sure, it will be a bit jarring to see Kruger playing a different character, but those issues will probably be moot once Rose joins the main roster. Would love to see Rose feud with 3MB. |
That Solomon Crowe promo wasn't the best. The character seems intriguing, but where do they go with it?
|
He kept doing those stupid "dramatic pauses" that 95% of indie promos contain.
|
Corey Graves is MONEY. That guy oozes Future Main Eventer.
I claim him as my pick and will subsequently be adapting my avatar and signature in the near future. |
lol
|
just watching the last bit of whatever ep is being shown on Sky rn before RAW, Neville/Pac and Burch/Martin Stone in the last segment #represent :cool:
|
Bo needs to stop saying "little contract" tho, that's like 4 times in about 6 minutes and 4/5 mins of that involved a match

Corey Graves outshone that entire show.
|
This past episode was the first NXT show I have seen. Cory Graves just oozes scumbag.
|
I could do without ever seeing Neville and Graves again.
|
Neville looks like a buff hobbit. Mason Ryan looks like he trimmed up, and the lean 7 footer who's feuding with the Artist has solid look about him.
|
I think this was the best I have seen Corey Graves. Was a better showing than the 2/3 falls match.
|
I'd like to never see another Neville/Graves match.
|
Graves is a beautiful man... you should be revelling in delight.
|
Corey Graves should be called up named "CM Punk's David Flair"
|
How fucking dare you.. Corey Graves is a glorious Human.
|
Really don't get all the Graves hate. He's on the smaller side, but he is a complete natural. He's got a presence about him that just screams "star." He also works a believable style for his size. It's just about finding the right place to plug him into as a far as a main roster spot goes.
|
I don't know about screaming "star", but yeah, he has some potential.
|
Were those jeggings?

Wyatts are the biggest babyfaces in NXT besides Sami Zayn, they come back like conquering heroes

|
Colin Cassidy on his own seems lost tbh.
|
I can watch Cesaro/Zayn #1024125 and not get bored. Too bad we are likely seeing the end in 2 weeks :'(
|
Oh shit the pinky promise :love:
|
Wannabe Bob Marley is turning heel and finally he gets heat for the right reasons.
|
That crowd LOVES them Wyatts
|
Just had a horrific thought; with NXT launching on the network, what if nobody bothers to upload it!?
|
Hulu would still carry them until whenever their current deal with the WWE is over.
|
Started watching NXT with my wife in the room. First match was the 6 divas tag. She was asking what was up with Emma's dance...
|
The Wyatt's vs two guys who didn't even get a jobber intro.... I think I may see someone get killed on Hulu.
I've seen the black dude before. Good wrestler. Legit good on the mat. |
Bray has an impressive Hawaiian Shirt collection.

Oh man. All I'm asking is that somebody posts it to Daily Motion or Putlocker or YouTube. I can't be dealing with torrents.
What did I do to deserve this!? |
Something severe? Can see nxt getting streamed by someone still though.
|
The biggest WWE streaming websites are run by Asians so I would imagine that they would continue as usual.
|
Cesaro-Zayn segment was good. :lol: crowd going crazy for a pinkie swear spot.
http://s30.postimg.org/ititfjbxd/NXT_2_12_14.png |
Nxt is always on watch-wrestling.net. plus they have like every wrestling show from every company plus a ton of shoot videos. Solid site.
|
Yeah that's where I go. Figured they might give up if most of the stuff is being put on the network. Though if the site originates from outside of the US I suppose they'd still upload stuff.
|
The Divas storylines in NXT are so good. I now not only care about Paige vs. Emma (which actually has some mad anticipation behind it due to the unavoidable delays), but I care about Natalya mentoring Bayley and Alicia Fox being abandoned by the Beautiful Fierce Females (I do think they could use a new name though). They've still got Becky Lynch and Raquel Diaz waiting in the ranks too.
Sami Zayn and Cesaro's segment was fucking sweet. Triple H played his part perfectly in it. Triple H's NXT appearances have been thoroughly enjoyable. Given that NXT Arrival airs live two nights after Elimination Chamber, I could see Cesaro selling some injuries and giving Zayn a real shot at winning (something that would seem fitting for the storyline anyway). After the match, I would not be opposed to seeing a hug of respect between the two... followed by an attack from behind by Cesaro. Heat! I'm also hoping for the UFO to make its WWE debut in that match. The winner of Zayn/Cesaro seems like the obvious choice to be next in line for a shot at the NXT Championship. Given that Zayn seems like the perfect guy to eventually take the NXT Title off Bo Dallas, I'm actually pulling for the Bo-dacious One to retain at NXT Arrival. Adrian Neville can do something insanely crazy that costs him the match and allows Bo to celebrate strong at the end of the show. Paige vs. Emma is going to be awesome. |
Everytime I see CJ Parker hit the 3rd eye I say to myself "Should have had a V8!"

The pinky promise was actually a really great moment. Sami Zayn was passionately pleading for one moe match with Cesaro, who was arrogantly asking Zayn how many times he needs to beat him before this ends. Zayn said that it would only be once more. Then he has Zayn's word that Cesaro would be done with him. The crowd then started chanting "Pinky promise!" to try and be funny, I guess, to which Zayn did actually present his pinky and Cesaro then played along. It came off like a really organic thing.
