NXT on WWE Network: Inspired by RVD vs Adrian Neville

[Skyjacker]

This episode for the most part was pretty forgettable.

The Contract signing was actually pretty funny.

Tag Title match was mediocre.

@ Eva calling herself a real woman.

Eva Marie vs Bayley was mediocre, Eva missed that senton by a mile and is still taking back bumps incorrectly by having her hands by her sides.

@ the guy in the front row reading a book during the main event.

Ya'll trippin. For 2 tag teams I really dont give a fukk about...and limited time... that tag match was fukkin piff. Ya'll just want that flippy shyt. The psychology made it great...had me thinking for a sec that the Villians might win the titles back. Really the perfect TV rematch. If thats the Vaudevillians sendoff you couldn't really ask for better. They looked great. THEN Enzo and Cass came out and set up the London title match. Man that was good shyt.

Like the whole RAW crossbranding...Low key...wrestling skills aside...hell skills in general aside...Eva has fukking great gimmick. She's atrocious in the ring...atrocious on the mic...if she can become average at one then that gimmick will be ill as fukk.

I'm excited for the whole London Special card...I predict the divas match with Asuka vs Emma will be the best match. Hope they follow the NXT tradition and feature someone new's La Sombra's debut like they typically do on NXT specials. Really good episode IMO.

Villians vs Mechanics was meh.

Emma getting that heat after attacking Asuka, Dana's titties Asuka's reactions to being in that submission

Great, another fukkin guitar player/singer gimmick

Wasn't Sorenson dude who broke his neck in TNA? Nice to see he recovered fully. The breh Apollo Crews and Corbin might steal the show at Takeover.

Eva wears the fukk out of her ring gear :pacohh:

Bayley should get a bonus for carrying Eva to a 3 star match
Eva & Nia make a good duo.

As long as he's not as annoying as early Jeff Jarrett, it shouldn't be as much of an issue.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Dana from the neck down can get it

She looked better before the makeup and plastic surgery, too...I'm sure it contributed to her nasally voice as well.

She's dedicated, at least

 

[Playaz Eyez]

at Bayley damn near having to launch Eva Marie just to make her own move look convincing. Eva stanks but pairing her with Nia makes sense

Evil Emma she ain't scared

Still dig the Vaudevillians gimmick, just don't know how they will translate to the main roster when they get there. I feel like they're gonna end up like Emma's original gimmick

I like this as Crews finisher much more than that Gorilla Press/moonsault combo. The latter one just seems like a transition move to me

 

[TheGodling]

Crews is excellent, his new finisher is dope.

I actually liked the Bayley/Eva Marie match because of the Attitude Era-type fukkery with the corporate referee, two ref bumps and tons of interference. shyt was pretty awesome even though Eva Marie still can't wrestle.

 

[jackswstd]

Crews is excellent, his new finisher is dope.

That's my future black WWE champion, and I better get repped to death when it happens because I called it first.

best Eva ever looked in a match. she still looked like shyt but her facial expressions were a little more realistic...she was looking like she was pissed in an actual fight at times, which is what she has had a lot of difficulty getting across

one huge issue i noticed was when bayley hit that huge clothesline on Eva and Eva was already sitting up with a smile on her face before they could finish calling the move..she had a little relapse there but overall she's moving in the right direction

this Nia Jax booking is confusing. she looks like such a nice woman, you know she just wants to smile.

She also did almost completely botch her senton, but yes she looks good against someone who isn't almost as green as she is - this is what she needs, more programs with women who can actually wrestle. We need a Eva Marie/Blue Pants program - it would get her more heat and Blue Pants' best quality in NXT appears to be that she's great at putting people over and making them look good/strong. Would also help if they - as I said before - gave her a slightly more comprehensive moveset than the one she has, which consists of Suplex, rest hold and kick. Give her some legit submissions, a DDT or something

I have to agree on Nia Jax, she just looks so happy

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

true they got her doing some weird moves...that senton is usually a fat guy move...she's doing big boots when Bayley is taller than her. she's not a big girl by any means. and then all these athletic spanky moves when she's not athletic enough to not make them look completely calculated

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Eva is improving her mannerisms and facial expressions. Her backstage segment was actually decent. She still needs A LOT of work in the ring but she is starting to build up her character now and her ring attire might be the best out of all the women.

Let's be honest. We call WWE management insane on a lot of things and they are insane but Eva Marie has a look that is marketable. I'm not even sure that's debatable. If she can improve some in the ring and continue her progression elsewhere she's going to be fine. She has a great look and body.

 

[TheGodling]

My favorite moment of the match was when Eva hit Bayley with an incredibly struggle-ass kick, and Rich Brennan shouted 'Oh, what a vicious kick by Eva Marie!' because I knew he was going to hype that shyt up.

 

[Vinny Lupton]

I just watched the Eva/Bayley match. That shyt made no sense. What's the point of a screwjob if Bayley won anyway? That's like Russo WCW levels of nonsense. Why not just have Bayley beat Eva and Nia attacks after? Usually what I like about NXT is the angles are simple and make sense. Why was Lil Naitch there in the first place?

I'm sure it was to make the crowd worried about a screw job finish to heighten the tension. They played on the fears of the internet smark knowing corporate loves Eva and want her as champ.

Eva gets tons of heat because she sucks. An angle like this makes it seems she gets heat because of heel tactics, not just because she sucks. It's how far they have to go to try and make a shoot into a work.
