NXT on WWE Network: Inspired by RVD vs Adrian Neville

[The Great One]

Hhh and his creative I hope the hideo hater who made that anti hideo thread saw that. They can play a similar package with him coming up to the main roster

I think you are speaking of me, and don't care, he jobbed in the Battle Royal like a nobody.

He eliminated no one of significance, was not pushed as being anyone, and was on the pre-show.

they made him look pretty good to me and the crowd loved him. he got treated like a hoe in the end but realistically a 7 foot dude shouldnt struggle to toss some 5'6 dude

I hope Hideo gets the NXT belt before he gets called up. I'm rooting for him :mjmark:

 

[CBoz]

Anyone else 6 months into the company been at a WM? Not talking gimmicks, talking career. If not then that's saying something.

 

[Kang Deezy]

New episode was awesome.

Itami needed that and i thought it was brilliant to go with him here... He needed it and it gave him the boost he needed, I'm an even bigger fan of him now and this got him back on the map

Is losing a battle royal jobbing ? so you saw nothing positive of this performance

Well it's not jobbing, be he was out there like he was a no one, he was in there with losers like the Ascension, Alex Riley, people who do nothing. And he got eliminated like nothing.

I am not saying he is not great, he was amazin in Japan, I am a huge fan.

I am saying he is lost in the shuffle here and no one will care and WWE is not really doing anything to make him special. I mean Balor has the grand entrance, they gave Steen the title immediately, all they gave him was a low rent costume to make him look like a Karate kid bad guy:

Man, you guys need to watch this CJ Parker vs Mike Bailey match from CZW Best of the Best tonight. So fukking good. I can see why people in NXT liked him so much.

 

[I-Hate-You]

I gotta agree...that shirt catches me off guard every time.
