NXT Weekly Show ***OFFICIAL THREAD***
 

Since the weekly show is supposed to be good, I'm giving #WWENXT a shot this week, I usually only watch Takeovers.

Starting the show w/ Adam Cole a good start so far...

N E 1 else watching or planning to watch later?

Danny Burch seems 'just ok', Adam Cole seems 'fairly good'

Could picture Adam Cole in similar feuds to the ones KO has on the main roster, cowardly but confident heel rassler

Cole picks up the win w/ some NJPW-esque 'strong style' moves

Shayna Besler (sp?) and Gargano Woman fighting in parking lot

WTF is Lacey Evans gimmick LOL

Kairi Sane seems like a future 'Bayley on Main Roster', ie, doomed to fail after 3 months of being called up

"Kairi Sane loves to have fun"

- Michael Cole

Good submission hold finisher from Kairi

Her English about the same level as Asuka

Johnny Gargano confronting A. Black outside the Performance Center

DON'T FUCKING JINX HER SLIK!!! :mad: :fu:

A. Black attacked by Chompin' Ciampa.

Torn between supporting team w/ Tyler Bate and team w/ Kyle O'Reilly

Going to go w/ Kyle O'Reilly team though

Holy shit shut up full sail

Undisputed Era a better tag team than Tyler Bate/Other Dude. Could see Kyle O'Reilly as a 'goofy gimmick' on the main roster one day.

While I think Takeover almost always delivers I will say I can see what people mean when they say the current NXT class isn't as strong as past classes. It's not bad or anything, just not as strong. Obviously there are some standouts.

Honestly don't think Gargano, Ciampa, Aleister, Riochet or Dream will be treated as upper mid card / main-eventers on the main roster one day because of their size.

Of the current crop I could see the following on the main roster

* Lars Sullivan (He's everything Vince McMahon loves)

* Adam Cole (decent heel push upon call-up)

* Kyle O'Reilly (Comedy Character on Main Roster)

* Shayna Besler (Ronda feud, duh)

* Bianca Belair

Tyler Bate throws in the towel, Kyle O/Roderick tag champs

Good match

Like SD that was pretty easy/harmless to watch, flows well

Finally got around to watching this week's episode and the ending for the Tag Title match might have been the best submission moment in years in the WWE.

O'Reily and Severn did an amazing job building up the leg submission to make Bate sacrificing the tag titles for his partner's health feel really genuine.

Guys what do you think is going to get booked for the main event at Takeover Brooklyn? Ciampa vs Black, Richochett vs Black, some kind of four way? What? I'm going and starting to get hungry for answers! Also hoping that it's not Ciampa and Black because that isn't a draw for me.

Ciampa winning the main event of the last one seems like them setting up a clear path to Ciampa vs Black.

Isn't Ciampa and Black booked for an NXT TV taping? Or did that already happen? I see how that could have a shit finish to make a match at Takeover, but I am kind of expecting Gargano to join in if that happens to may a 3 way.

Dave said it maybe that Ciampa takes the gold from Black and goes against Gargano at Takeover. Would be awesome for me!

Also, HOLY SHIT that tag match was amazing. Perfect, amazing drama.

That kind of Drama, that's what The Bucks need to hit final form.

That tag match was really great.

Why does slik think that Kyle O'Rielly is a comedy character?

I see him being booked as a comedy character on the main roster

I think the Brooklyn main event is going to be a Triple Threat with Black, Ciampa and Gargano.

Adam Cole is interesting. I didn't like him that much at first, but he grows on you. There's something about his facial expressions and this innate charisma he has. He's also a good chickenshit. I don't know why, I just don't buy him on the main roster though. He feels like the sort of guy that they would have called up to make Eric Bischoff's assistant back in the day.

Personally, I have no interest in The Undisputed Era as a group. I guess they would make fine foils for The New Day, but does anyone need to see this? If anything, have The New Day do an appearance on NXT and run it as a main event of a television. That would be enough. I'd call up Adam Cole as a boot-licking supplicant to a heel Randy Orton. There's something about Cole that could play the role really well. He's got that face where he would willingly seem like he's Randy's bitch, but you know there's more to it than that -- and you know that Randy knows that too. I think they would make a great heel pairing and I'd be fine seeing them get a run with the SmackDown Tag belts. You can edge Cole into important storylines this way.

Anyone else find it interesting that Gargano delayed Black , which unsettled him so when he turned the corner Ciampa jumped him. Can see an angle where 'Dark' Gargano is under the spell of Ciampa, he causes Black to lose the belt to Ciampa. Then comes out and says he only did it cos he wanted to be the one to take the belt off him.

Also that Tag Title match was amazing, the storytelling was brilliant. We need more of British String Style on TV, they are all brilliant. My favourite match of the year so far.

I could see them having Gargano and Black feud for a while over who gets to face Ciampa for the belt. That could very easily spin-off into Ciampa vs. Gargano and Black vs. Velveteen Dream or something by the time WrestleMania weekend rolls around. That show could play like a list of "NXT's Greatest Hits."

Man, I just went back and watched that tag match again. Really, really, really great stuff there. If you're reading this thread and you haven't watched it for some reason, I suggest that you do.

Women's #1 contender Triple Threat match was amazingly. Easily the best main event match this week between NXT, RAW, and Smackdown.

It was good. I would like to know why Bianca Belair wasn't medically cleared, though.

Anyone watching this week?

Adam Cole makes quick work of this jobber

Ricochet has CENA NUFF of Adam Cole

WAR MACHINE have CENA NUFF of Kyle O'Reilly/Roderick Strong
