Essential The Official NXT Discussion Thread 2.0

[Superkick Party]

WOW WWE is now allowing wrestlers to mention ROH and even utilizing photos. It looks like E is going to make Rod a star judging by the segments showcasing his start, his soon to be wife and etc.

I mean you kinda have to acknowledge ROH if you're gonna do a backstory on most the guys signed to WWE now especially Roddy.

at her beating everyone's ass and then skirting off like this.

The theme for NXT Takeover Chicago.

Why is this song not getting more traction?

This is one of the best songs of the year for me.

It's the voice of Jericho...listen to him mannnn :drinkitinmannn:

Whole end of that battle royal was fukkery once Asuka showed up. She came out there dancing all over the place, the throw to Ember, got the other 2, & then ran off like she did

They should also acknowledge TNA if they are going to acknowledge ROH now.

TNA will never get acknowledged

 

[Amor fati]

TNA will never get acknowledged

Hahaha I wonder why?

Hahaha I wonder why?

The slow, lingering reek of decay.

I mean...TNA has been mentioned, not directly like ROH or NJPW, but certainly alluded to in a way that everyone knows what you're talking about. It has outright been mentioned on DVDs, some of the pre-show panels, and Austin's podcast. AJ's history as the face of TNA was a pretty big part of the feud with Cena without every actually saying TNA, they brought up Sting's time there, Booker and Flair have talked about it, they've talked about AJ vs Kurt, Kurt vs Joe, Sting vs AJ, etc. With TNA, there isn't much benefit because they've been so petty anti-WWE since day one that giving them any legitimacy is off the table.

Although they did use Apter pics of Roode and AJ in TNA on WWE TV, but cropped the logo out if they were in the frame

Am i the only one here who digs heavy machinery? Aka the natural disasters 2.0

I'm with it. Love a good big guy team. I'd prefer them to be doing the Earthquake/Typhoon breathy-shout on the mic too, but I actually quite enjoyed the promo this week. Steaks and Weights is a money line.

 

[TheAlbionist]

I wasn't sure about Nikki Cross for the first few weeks, but she's legit... still not sure about her actual wrestling chops, but she's got the "IT" that crowds are looking for. That point-and-laugh at Ember Moon this week was pretty savage.

Also, that bump off Asuka from Ember Moon WAS savage.

I've gone from thinking they were the stupidest, worst gimmick ever....to finding them funny. They remind me of Cade and Murdoch. RIP @I-Hate-You RIP Lance Cade

This was my progression, too. I think Otis calling Tucker 'Tucky' in the weight room vignettes pushed it over into the 'like' column for me. How can you hate that? Also, fiance thinks it wouldn't take too much work to turn Tucker into a pretty solid singles guy, should the time come.

I'm still getting caught up, though. We just finished 388 last night over dinner. Eric Young made Tye look like a million dollars in that cage match, let me tell you!

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Ditto to the Heavy Machinery love. They have a different look to make them stand out, and pretty solid in the ring.

Since when has interference stopped a battle royal?
