Really enjoy Corey Graves as a commentator....

Speculating on how "The Drifter" drifted his way from London to Florida had me laughing.

On his wooden guitar

Because he couldn't have flown home to "visit family" and his connecting flight back to the west coast from Georgia was through Orlando? I'm not familiar with NJPW but as long as he didn't have a show within 2-3 days when Itami was attacked, it's easy enough to be explained....

Watching this week's episode.... Good promo showing from THE AMERICAN ALPHAS.

I hope they get a remake of The American Males theme, but with American Alphas instead!

Apollo Crews' entrance just makes me laugh now with the underwhelming steam columns as he poses at the top of the ramp......

Crowd seems more into Tye Dillinger than Apollo Crews....

Never heard of this Rich Swann guy.... fans seemed to pop for him, though.....

Less a swan and more a dolphin.... Flipper

Carmella seems to have lost her accent....

Evil Emma and Evil Alexa together...... good team

NXT cramming more shows than usual due to WWE switching all focus towards Mania very soon.

Shouldn't that Aries video be spoiler tagged?

WWE has already sent out a press release about it.

Yeah, I just saw it all over the 100k thread.

So odds are good his debut match is TakeOver: Dallas? :drool:

I'm going to be honest -- not sold on Crews. Something is missing.

Final set of January tapings to get everything covered up till Mania week. Also a special announcement was made during one of the tapings.

Takeover is kinda shaping up to Unbelievable. Might out Mania... Mania

Good thing I bumped my flight to early Friday Morning. NXT NXT NXT!

Might have to resubscribe to the network for the Dallas show.

It's his promo. He's missing that. Also I don't know if I like the amount of smiling he does. Need to be hungry not happy.

It might be his promo, but there's something in-ring too. He's all steak and no sizzle to me for some reason.

So the NXT Takeover card is set to be:



Hot fucking damn.

That's a pretty epic card already.

This week's show was pretty decent too. Alex Riley was the surprise mostly. Especially the promo he cut. I don't think it is going to lead anywhere but nice promo nonetheless.

What is a good way to start watching NXT? Will I be lost if I just start watching or does WWE air it in seasons?

I don't think you'll be lost. They usually do a pretty good job of encompassing the storyline material into each show. They don't address every plot thread every week, but it's simple and effective with its presentation.

Emo Riley.

What this guy do to piss off John Cena?

you should be alright no matter where you start, just binge watch 2-3 episodes prior to when you want to start watching regularly and you'll be fine....

"Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger got injured at a recent house show.

Bull Dempsey, Marcus Louis, Sylvester Lefort, Oscar Vasquez (Magno) and Peter Howard were released by WWE today. I guess that's one way to stop the Bull fit campaign.

I think you can jump right in. Wont be lost. Angles move slowly, so the commentators will explain backstories and stuff.

Not major losses. I'm sure they'll all be back if they show more in the future. Bull Dempsey is a guy I preferred over Baron Corbin, back when they were doing the two monsters thing, and I liked this idea of this practical fighter from Brooklyn. The comedy stuff had a shelf-life. I think the best thing for a main roster run for him would have been in a tag team managed by William Regal.

Marcus Louis had a tremendous look, but I guess he didn't "translate" over enough. His gimmick was kind of...hmm. I hope he improves and comes back if he becomes a good worker.

I really want Paige to show up in NXT for a little while. She doesn't need to forfeit her spot on the main roster. Keep her team with Natalya going, but have her tear it up in NXT with Emma, Bayley, Eva Marie and Nia Jax. They'd be fresh matches that you can't guarantee would have the same appeal on the main roster.

This week's crowd fuckin shit all over Cameron

Alexa Bliss marry me please.

And an electric ending to this week's NXT. I love wrestling so much sometimes.

Blake and Murphy need masks, they are too goofy to be face frontal. They should kayfabe go off to war and come back as Sektor and Cyrax, ninja cyborgs

In the past I've been too hard on Mojo Rawley, but after watching their match last night(the Hype Bros) I stayed on Mojo and saw a man that loves being in the ring, can put emphasis into the little things and definitely isn't trying to jump the shark and skate his way onto the main roster based off his NFL credit.


If they brought the Hardcore Championship back I would put Mojo at the top of the heap and just let him do his thing. Too bad that won't happen
