Essential The Official NXT Discussion Thread 2.0

yea its not bad
i think its just annoyed me that before any real action or anything really deserving an crowd reaction happens they are already in mid match forms with there chants

They had like 5 chants before they even locked up. shyt is sickening to me

Finn Balor has kicked out of everyone finisher he's come across...

 

[Jmare007]

I've been one of the biggest Devitt/Balor critics since as long as I can remember. But I gotta admit his match with Nakamura was the best I've seen from him in arguably....ever

Too bad Shinsuke still can't sell the leg for shyt. Still have no clue why he keeps no selling and why his opponents insist on working that body part. Just work the arm, head or back and everything will make more sense.

Awesome idea. He knows how to rock and give prestige to an Intercontinental belt

Besides, the thought of Miz getting potatoed/KO by a Boma-ye Kinshasa is

Maryse better be careful too, Swagamura gonna steal Miz title AND bytch :purogang:

Spoiler: NXT Brooklyn card looks like... Plus potential NXT call ups

looks like

Aries vs Jose
Roode vs Andrade
Dawson and wilder defend against gargano and ciampa
Authors of pain vs American alpha
Bayley vs Asuka
Joe vs Nakamura

Looks like balor dillenger nia jax and Eva Marie as potential call ups

Why in the fukk hasn't bayley been called up yet? And why do they insist in calling up random people like Dillinger and nia jax before they get a run with a title?

I think Bayley comes up too, she'll put over Asuka (maybe Asuka turns heel) and she'll be up by the shows after Brooklyn NXT at the latest

She may do both, this mystery partner thing with Sasha is a good way to introduce Bayley

I think they are legit worried that Bayley won't make it long term as a face in front of the wwe audience

Dillinger is going to be a bigger flop than Breeze. His Perfect 10 Gimmick is going to get the Emma treatment. That corny stuff only works in Full Sail.

Yup. Most of the silly gimmicks that worked on NXT did because they took months to develop and connect with the crowd on an emotional level. When they debut they do without that backup and crowds just go

I'm actually interested in what they do with Bailey. I'd like for them to scale back a little bit on her character and kinda give her some of "little kid" persona back so she can have something to develop on the main roster. She might an exception because she really big in NXT and the average WWE fan might already know who she is, but at the same time it wouldn't be shocking if she doesn't "click" with fans as most people expect.

From some guy on Reddit

I'm at NXT Indy rn, and for the ENTIRETY of Angelo Dawkins' match, a substantial group of people were chanting D'Lo Brown, JYD, Nation of Domination, etc. That's not okay! Stop that!!

NXT Crowd on that

Breeze was practically saved by teaming up with Fandango of all people, and that team was only put together as a foil to the Golden Truth.

The problem with Dillinger's gimmick is mostly that the guy isn't nearly a good enough wrestler to warrant the "perfect ten" moniker, not even ironic as a heel with an overblown ego.

When I went to the Cleveland show (lol), people called Jason Jordan "Maven" and shyt.

Definitely some "they all look alike" going on

 

[Green Ranger]

They had like 5 chants before they even locked up. shyt is sickening to me

The fans are so much in a hurry to chant and get themselves over they don't let the match breath sometimes and since WWE acknowledges the crowds chants the fans have gotten even more ostentatious trying to get themselves notice.
