We need the old shinsuke back, not the one who sells for samoa joe, remember the one at nxt dallas that layed those boots to Sammy zayn in the ropes then followed it up with that buzz saw like kick to the mouth when he was down?

Speaking of Daria what's the point of depicting her as an asskicking threat when she keeps losing?

Stupid NXT booking. Billie Kay and Peyton are higher on the "card" so they must beat everyone that creative considers below them. It's the reason why a guy like Tye Dillinger (and Tyler Breezer before him) is like 0-15 in PPV losses because they never bothered to elevate him to the top of the card.

NXT is suffering because they insist on this ridiculous three layer structure.

Top: "Indie" guys who are pretty much household names already so they go over everyone below them, elevating nobody except other guys entering at the top.
Midcard: Developmental talent who pretty much have their gimmicks set and only have matches to gain more "experience" before being called up. They lose to everyone above them and beat everyone below them until they're called up.
Jobbers: The developmental talent that is relatively new and still in heavy development. They lose to fukking everybody until they find their gimmick, at which point they'll disappear for like two months only to be reintroduced on tv as their new character in the midcard.

The only exception is the tag division because they got so little talent to work with there that they have to be booked on a more equal level to create proper feuds.

To be fair she lost because of interference.

Tajiri & Tozawa!?

I'm not sure if they'll show every match or just the ones listed earlier.

In the post above it says a 2 hour event, so I'm assuming they will. NXT shows aren't usually long.

I hope they don't edit them; really takes away from the show. I like how they're showing this and one of the Aussie shows next week. Can't wait to catch them.
