Excellent match from Gargano & Corbin, Baron is really coming into his own work-wise.

Hype Bros. vs Random create a tag team was what it was.

Bliss vs Cameron was an ok mtch but very sloppy at times, for a smaller chick Alexa is thick as fukk :noah:
Which one of her valets is trying to be a gayer version of Billy Gunn, Blake or Murphy?

Why is Sampson on every week :dahell:

American Alpha and Cass & Enzo have good chemistry, if they're getting called up I'd like to see their last feud be Jordan & Gable.

Bayley vs Carmella started off shaky but it picked up at the end, Bayley carried her to a pretty decent match. That slow build to Asuka vs Nia :banderas:, Asuka got plenty of room in the S&M dungeon for all these broads.

Drifter is gonna be a slow burn like Breeze was.

Nah, the way they're handling him now it's closer to repeating the same mistake they made with Corbin, force feed a guy who still has miles to go (pun intended) every week against worthless jobbers and somehow think the crowd is gonna fukk with it. They did actually fukk with Corbin early on and I think that's why he's completely no sold right now because crowds recognize this is the same scenario.

Bayley vs Carmella started off shaky but it picked up at the end, Bayley carried her to a pretty decent match.

Pretty much. Final part of the match got pretty good and it was clearly a case of Bayley giving rub to her bestie but Carmella still ain't ready IMO.

Most of NXT new stars start off running through jobbers, Aiden English, Baron, Bull and Breeze. The problem is they do it too long so it looks like they're obviously hiding lack of skills. Hope this isnt gonna be the same case

Asuka gives me the Great Muta feels. She gets the subtle things of being scary. I was :lupe: for Bayley
Asuka has to be one of the very best performers the E has. She's hijacking crowds without talking. Her in-ring work is also super crisp, fast and hard-hitting. And as my brother here pointed out, she understands acting.

Love watching her work man.

Gotta give H props for the way she's been booked too. Japanese, female, barely speaks English, over 30... And probably the best booking of any character currently employed by WWE.

When she got signed last year, the consensus reaction among puro 'beards in the IWC was "WELP, RIP TO KANA'S CAREER :francis:" yet here we are 9 months later and they've made zero missteps in how they've presented her. We see her regularly on NXT and she STILL has that Lesnar-type "mystique".

She's over enough to go at Bayley and not get booed. :lupe: That's impressive.

Well, they did at least learn from their mistake of trying to push that WWE style heavy on Kenta which caused him to regress to the point that nothing of his appeal was left. Lots of people feared the same thing would happen with Kana but they let her keep her style (at least for the most part) so none of her appeal and intrigue was lost.

Came in here to post about Drifter. Corbin has been my favorite NXT star past 6 months. But I was uninterested in him for a while.

The Drifter looks great and has some cool moves, but I feel like it's the wrong gimmick, and that that are doing the same exact thing they did with Corbin. I mean, it wasn't that long ago. Switch it up.

About to watch women's main event now.

There was a scary moment at tonight's WWE NXT live event in Jacksonville, FL. Wrestling Inc. correspondent Travis Akers noted that during a 6-man tag match between Dawson, Dash & Riddikk Moss vs Sami Zayn, Enzo & Cass, Riddikk was injured during a 6-man suplex. Riddikk immediately went unconscious and the ref gave the "X", as seen in the video below.
