TM61 gonna be a dope team.

AOP gonna be good too.

Nakamura has to be the one to beat Lesnar. Its so obvious that it wont happen. But hes the ONLY one.

I like the fire Bayley showed in her promo and Asuka flirting with going heel was great too. Gotta feeling this match will be much much better than Dallas.

Liv is improving well, Carmella better step her game up before she gets replaced.

I'm sorry but I'm just not feeling Roode at all, his theme is annoying and his character is wack.

TM61 supposed to be some popular indie team but I haven't heard of them ever

They worked pro wrestling noah in japan and never really worked stateside. They had some amazing matches against Masato Tanaka and Sugiura just before NJPW took over NOAH. They have zero personality though. They are going to be in NXT for a long time.

Tucker Knight sighting! Why in the hell you got a 6'5 300+ lb amateur wrestling monster getting squashed by cruiserweights. Don't even look believable. Yeah I know he's not goin over but damn...let him do some work. He showed out last time he was on TV. He looks the part...he's gonna be a problem soon.

The new wave of women it seems

Billie Kay
Peyton Royce
Ember Moon
Liv Morgan
Aaliyah

They have some very big shoes to fill

AoP future tag champs

Dawkins always gets put over on commentary for having a lot of upside

Yet some how they havent figured out what to do with him except being a jobber

 

[FaygoMI]

What makes you say that?

They should just get paid more to be the gateway to the main roster. They won't work on Raw. Maybe on Smackdown. Matches are always great but there is no reason to care about them.

When the crowd chants which ones dash which ones dawson that's all you need to know.

Add Nikki Storm to that. Her and Ember Moon will be the top tier of that class

I'm getting the impression that Tommaso Ciampa is turning heel.

 

[puppetmaster]

Loved Shinsuke's approach. The mind games didn't work on Joe (The Demon ) so I'm gonna get you angry and prone to making mistakes by acting as though I'm not taking you seriously even though I clearly do.

Good psychology, excited for their match.

Bobby Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo is so far ahead of the curve of NXT.

Roode should've gone straight to the main roster, but I'm not mad at him being on NXT, they need that star power

This is where NXT has fukked up. You don't turn developmental into a big brand and then have to rely on star power from out of the company. You should be making the fans want to see the developmental people and getting invested with their progress. Now no one gives a shyt about NXT unless the shows have some big indie/puro/TNA stars on them, and guys that should be getting to work with them or at all on TV are stuck to the micro house shows in Florida not improving because all the big names are just working with each other.

I do agree with this, that they need to focus more on homegrown talent instead of continuously poaching indy stars, but even in the FCW days, they were using indy stars sprinkled in with their own guys. Just so happens they're relying on the indy stars almost as a crutch right now.
