Nope. Quite happy with them exactly where they are.

Just watched....

Forgot to mention this the last time he had a match, but I dislike Tye Dillinger's new theme. Loved his first "Perfect 10" theme.... I guess it probably was a "generic theme" or something "not owned by WWE"....

Sounds a bit much like Apollo Crews theme.

Which one?

Cause neither of them really do.

First one kind of reminds me of The Avengers.... and being called "City Invasion", that is prob intentional.... prob some generic knockoff.... which is why they changed it..... but I liked it anyways.

Good super serious promo by Enzo and Cass at the beginning. Sold me on the rivalry and motivation for the match being more than the gold.

Any time I hear Asuka's music play, I am a happy person.

Also, Evil Emma's music

Corey Graves is tremendous in this Hype Bros vs Blake/Murphy tag match

Nia Jax getting massive heat finally due to Eva Marie. I wish she cut a better promo talking about how much larger and stronger she is than the usual "this is my destiny" talk though.

It was definitely noticeable. The entire match had a different tone and made me want to see the match next week. THIS is the type of shit the main roster needs to do to get people to "care"


She is beautful

If he continues to improve, he will be great on commentary for the "main roster". Great heel commentator.


Meh, bored by her so far. She is big but that is all.

Also, the drool sell for the coquina clutch was top level.

Zayn from his return on the UK tour:

Gable & Jordan need just a little more seasoning for me, but other than that you are 100% correct

Enzo & Cass versus The New Day would be money... size and speed versus size and speed, and throw it some Xavier/Carmella shenanigans on the outside......

New Day are close to getting overexposed as it is, I wouldn't want Enzo and Cass in there now.

Me too. I also like the fact that it isn't stereotypically Japanese. I know that sounds weird, considering the mask and robe deal, but it's just a badass theme for a badass submission machine who doesn't even have to snap.

Watching this week's....

"Ha ha" at none of the commentators knowing Simon Gotch was supposed to be one of the Doctor Whos.... I don't even watch it and I knew...

"Huge pop" for Gable/Jordan it seemed...

Vicious boos for Mojo Rawley tagging himself in and forcing Gable out.... immediate "We want Gable" chants....

Jason Jordan suplex machine

Some sweet T-BOOOONES

"The Drifter" very underwhelming. (Good top rope elbow drop, though)

Sami Zayn's image "not looking good" right now.... huge pop, though....

Still very "likable" and "relate-able" on the mic, though.... if he can just stop getting injured and keep his "image" looking good, he could be "big" for the company....

I don't care about Elias Samson at all, but then again I simply don't understand why Tye Dillinger is so over now either.

Stop using double quotes like that, LJ Rodney. They don't mean what you think.

Evil Emma continues to call throughout time and space to me, almost drawing me back to NXT...

<font color=goldenrod>Fallen behind on NXT.

Pretty bad sign when my interest in wrestling is low enough that I allow myself to fall behind on NXT even though I don't watch Raw.</font>

I'm in the same boat. I hate main show WWE more than I love NXT at this point. I feel that I've become "conditioned" to NXT too. It's great solid wrestling, and that should spoil me enough, but the patterns are becoming obvious.

I honestly believe that losing Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks was a bit damaging for the show. There's no one there who really "grabs" me now. I mean, Asuka is awesome, Chad Gable is entertaining and all that all -- but I feel like I am always waiting for that "next" moment.

I think the lack of reaction hurt. London probably wasn't the right place to debut. I think the character could go somewhere since the vignettes have felt different and been somewhat intriguing, but having him just go out in front of a crowd who clearly wanted to see their favorites and no one else and just have "a match" was not helpful.

I like Elias Sampson. He showed something a few months ago when I saw him. He seemed to get "the little things." I'm not sure where I'd really like to see him fit.

Spoilers for the next set of shows (January 13th - Februrary 3rd). Small note that NXT taped a pilot show called NXT Kids which is meant to be a kid friendly version of NXT or similar to what Saturday Morning Slam was.

Next set of tapings will happen on January 22nd and cover up to Mania.

Looks like Sampson is going to become the next Baron Corbin....

A lot of these women in NXT look too similar to one another.

I really don't know Peyton Royce from Billy Kae and now Liv Morgan could be Alexa Bliss' twin.

I love them all.

I like Sampson.

Womens Battle Royal was a miss in my opinion aside from the finish. Would have rather seen a 4 way or something. Could have told the same story.

Dash and Dawson are awesome.

I'd like to see AJ Styles reveal that he and The Bullet Club were behind Hideo Itami being taken out. This puts Balor in the middle between his friendship with Itami and his friendships with The Bullet Club. This sets up Itami vs. Styles very nicely for Dallas -- where Itami drops the "Hideo Itami" persona and comes out as "KENTA". You can also do something like Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship, and Baron Corbin vs. Apollo Crews II.

That would insult the intelligence of the fans. NXT fans know AJ was in Japan. Vince could do something like that but not Triple H.

I can't remember which show it was, but I remember seeing Karl Anderson backstage at one of the NXT events. It wouldn't be a stretch to imagine him taking out Hideo Itami to help out his former buddy. Keep in mind that Itami was meant to face Finn Balor and Tyler Breeze on the night he got injured.

You start off with Itami vs. Anderson, and then you have Styles and Gallows come out, revealing that AJ was the one behind the attack. Like the mafia don behind the scenes. Itami then goes after Styles, but gets cut off by Gallows as Styles just laughs. Itami asks Balor if he knows anything about it, and Balor states that he didn't and he doesn't approve of what Karl Anderson did, but he's not going to get involved. Itami points at Balor's NXT Championship and tells him "A black cloud hangs over this. Gold has changed you." Balor looks all intense and upset as Itami walks away.

They do a big beat-down segment on NXT TV one week. Balor comes out, and looks all heelish. Styles passes him a steel chair to take out Itami as Anderson and Gallows hold him. Balor instead takes out Styles with the chair, as Anderson and Gallows retreat. The next week Balor says that Itami is right -- he may not have deserved to have become #1 Contender at Unstoppable, but he'll prove he deserves to be champion with every subsequent decision he makes.

Just one possible way to kick-off a Balor vs. Styles feud, or continue an Itami vs. Styles one.

Pretty sure the fans would not care. Well, the majority of them. I guess there will always be those who think like you do.

Just to put it simply: AJ Styles could have ordered the hit from Japan as a favor to his "buddy." That makes sense, and actually makes Styles more of a dick heel.

"I did it for The Demon. I did it for the people." You just know that will get a reaction at Full Sail.
