Sami Zayn (El Generico) official NXT debut...and a match against Antonio Cesaro

[Jmare007]

So he gets the win against Hawkins in his official debut and then interrupts Cesaro, cuts a promo, and wrestles him

As good as always in the ring, but I'm gonna miss that damn mask and silly gimmick

NXT stil exists?

This was good stuff. Didn't see too much of his skill at WWE-style because he spent most of both matches selling (which might be his best skill anyway), but his promo interrupting Cesaro was good, if basic. Excellent choice of finisher as well. It'll be interesting to see how he develops.

Make sure to check the video packages on Corey Graves and Bray Wyatt, as well as their match in the main event of this show.

As a matter of fact, I posted about this in the Off Topic thread, and here's what I said about it:

I just watched this week's NXT, and WWE needs to stop screwing around and call Bray Wyatt up already. He had nothing more than a decent TV match with Corey Graves, but everything he did was crisp, effective, and went toward putting over his character. From the entrance, to the music, to the in-ring, and even the video package made for him before his match, he has it all and it's all great.

WWE'll fukk it up, of course.

Graves looks good as well. Good video package before the match, and he has a character that seems to be a cross between face CM Punk and a face version of Jeff Hardy's darker WWE/TNA Immortal character, which could get over huge. Not quite sold on his in-ring, though. Anything that I should watch to convince me?

Good match. Hawkins is an underrated good hand too.

Props for posting.

Corey Graves I have watched him wrestle since I was like 18 in the Michigan Indy scene as Sterling James Keenan, he is decent.

You can't read faces though

that video package for Wyatt was crazy

 

[ThatKidBlackHippy]

yo, why isn't Wyatt called up already? His gimmick w/ his stable could be so over on RAW.

...Im just going to assume that that's a reference to me and leave it at that ok?

Corey Graves

Corey Graves I have watched him wrestle since I was like 18 in the Michigan Indy scene as Sterling James Keenan, he is decent.

From what I saw of him as SJK, he was borderline awful, and I openly questioned why the hell WWE would waste time signing him. Fast forward a couple years, and here he is with a great gimmick that could EASILY get over huge with the right presentation, seemingly decent in-ring, and much better promo skills. Liking Bray Wyatt is one thing, I've been a fan of his since NXT 2. But seeing potential in Corey Graves?

Never thought it would happen.

 

[Jmare007]

Don't be shocked if they are saving Wyatt's debut for D-Bry's heel turn so he doesn't have to cut his beard

It still upsets me how a lot of y'all sleep on NXT.

So disappointed in the majority of y'all.

It's the best DAMN Wrestling show on TV today.

 

[g-ice]

Btw...that Zayn and Cesaro match was great. The promo leading to the match was awesome.

The video packages of Graves and Wyatt were nice. It lead to a great main event as well.
