Just from watching the entrance sanity might be my new favorite thing in wrestling. Stables Byke!!!

Edit: took off the masks and looked mad racist

They need to add a chick

Edit #2: the one that I thought was just the vanilla midget of the crew is a chick. Can't believe WWE has a full stable

Edit#3: Oh this shyt is lit. You got EY two crazy looking goons and an even crazier looking bytch with muscles. EY bout to show Bray Wyatt how it's done

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

@ security basically jumping joe and letting nakamura beat him up

 

[The Girl From Innsmouth]

This is what they're doing with Nikki Storm? I don't know. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Same, I like her snarky heel gimmick from the indies. But I like this aggressive side from her though.

She plays crazy really good and her Scottish accent will just add to that.

WWE NXT Ft. Pierce Live Event Results
10/14/16
Ft. Pierce, FL
Results courtesy of PWInsider.com

Meet and Greet: Rich Swann Daria Beranato and Cedric Alexander

Patrick Clark defeated Tian Bing. This was a decent match that ended with Clark pinning Ling with his feet on the ropes. Ling looked solid in his Fort Pierce debut.

Peyton Royce and Billie Kay defeated Liv Morgan and Aliyah. This was a lot of fun. A very entertaining womens tag match. Billie Kay pinned Liv Morgan for the win.

Dallas Harper defeated Steve Cutler. Another good match with some excellent heel work by Cutler.

Sanity (Axel Tischer and Sawyer Fulton with Nikki Cross) vs Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight and Otis) Match was dominated by Sanity working over Tucker for most of the match until the hot tag to Otis. Sanity win after Cross spays Tucker in the eyes. Lots of post match mayhem afterwards. Also lots of “We want EY” chants during the match.

Ember Moon defeated Mandy Rose. This was another excellent match. Ember is amazing and Mandy continues to improve witb each match. She looks simply amazing in the all gold gear. So far she has been the cream of the crop from the last season of Tough Enough.

We then go to the interview with Andrea D’Marco who introduces The Drifter Elias Samson who makes his return to the Fort and still has as all the heel heat he had when he left. He starts singing a song running down the Fort which draws massive heat. Then he states he has a special lady who loves him and the music of the NXT Womens Champion begins to play and it’s Asuka time who arrives to one of the biggest pops of the night. Samson teases that Asuka is in love with him and she plays along at first only later to kick him in the face and then she destroys his guitar. Excellent segment.

Riddikk Moss and Tino Sabbatelli defeat Angelo Dawkins and Kenneth Crawford. Another great tag match. Both teams work well together. Sabbatelli pins Dawkins for the win.

Tye Dillinger defeated Bobby Roode in the Main Event. This was simply a Glorious Ten match!! Roode comes out to a massive pop with everyone singing along to his theme. He then cuts a promo stating that he was sent here to make Fort Pierce Glorious but looking at everyone in the crowd that’s impossible. He then talks about the Dusty Classic and how Dillinger begged him to be his partner and tured out to be a failure. He states that Dillinger isn’t here tonight and that the ref should ring the bell and start the 10 count so he can be decared the winner and get the hell out of this town. Count starts and when they get to 10….Dillingers music hits to an even bigger pop! He hits the ring and the match is on. Tons of back and forth action. Dillinger pins Roode for the win. If their match at Takeover: Toronto is half as good as this was Spoiler Alert: They will easily steal the show.

Top to bottom this was an outstanding show. I never thought I would say this but we have to give thanks to Hurricane Mathew as this show was originally scheduled for this past Saturday October 8th but was postponned due to the storm. Had it taken place on the 8th it would have been a double booked night with the majority of the top talent being at the Road Trip show in Baltimore. Instead we were treated to one of the best shows of the year here in Fort Pierce.

NXT returns for the final show of 2016 in Fort Pierce on November 3rd.

Tye the Gawd

 

[Norrin Radd]

I really thought Tye was going to flounder after he split with Jason Jordan but I'm glad things worked out for him.

The authors of pain finisher is garbage. A clothesline/Russian leg sweep

I actually like that finisher. High impact...original...not indyriffic.

A big nikka doing a Russian leg sweep doesn't come off as devastating imo. It looks like dude takes all of the impact the way he hits the mat since he's so much bigger than the guy he's holding.

And that clothesline from the other dude isn't even JBL level.

They honestly should recycle the doomsday device to get heat

So instead of doing an original move because the Clothesline is not on par with one of the greatest clotheslines in the history of the WWE...you think it would be better to have a 6'8+ 350+ pounder fly off the top rope and do....a CLOTHESLINE. Because it will "get heat" cause thats really working to get one of the best babyface tag teams in wrestling (The Briscoes) heat...Because flying off the top rope is much more realistic for a big man to do...because recycling a move from the 80s is better than doing something original...and the risk of breaking someones neck (Henry Godwin anywone?) is better than doing a perfectly safe move.
Fantastic idea breh.

Yep... it'll get heat because Ellering was the manager of the road warriors and he said himself he wants them to be the new version. Jacking their finisher would make fans dislike them which would be good since they're heels. They seem to be getting little to no reaction currently

And the clothesline doesn't bother me that was just an extra observation. You ignored the part about a big dude doing a Russian leg sweep not looking like it's hurting the smaller wrestler he's holding.

I just don't like the Russian leg sweep honestly. They could do a clothesline into a German suplex or something. Anything but a Russian leg sweep

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

i like their other move better..the big boot/sidewalk slam combo

 

[CBoz]

Why not powerbomb one opponent on the other.
