one thing i hate about these taped shows is how behind they are...i mean...Bull Dempsey got fired like 2 months ago or some shyt and he's been on damn near every NXT since

yeah came to post about this. Could have sworn he got released.
Nice package for Asuka/Bailey. If it gets time, Apollo/Drifter will be a surprise hit. Tonight's episode was dull though.

Apollo got more babyface cheers out of spite for Samson than he did because he's the babyface, lol. Dude can't sing and barely knows how to pluck strings on his guitar, these NXT gimmicks are getting worse by the minute.
Whole episode was basically a filler match before Dallas. Someone also needs to tell Philips and Graves that bigging up that Tucker Knight guy as a 300+ pounder doesn't work when it's clearly 300 pounds of flab.
No women's matches, huh? Guess they're scrambling to figure out what to do now with Bayley close to moving up and no decent competition for Asuka anywhere.

they have some decent divas down there and a few that havent debuted yet. its just a matter of booking. Dana Brooke is always gonna get heat.. Samantha Garrett is good but i dont know if she's actually signed....Nia Jax hasnt had a match in awhile but i still think with some work she can be decent...they still havent debuted Athena....also Peyton Royce and the other chick with the dark hair and green gear who tagged with her..thugged out Liv Morgan....racist ass Aaliyah
...they just arent booking any of these women outside of squash matches..

Bit of a throwaway episode, but understandable given it's the last stop before Takeover. American Alpha and The Revival are looking SLICK AS ALL HELL; match is going to be a clinic.
Finn's promo was dull and he waited WAAAY too long to come out at the end, but the brawl with Joe was fun.. especially the announcers getting taken out before they could sign off. Hoping Joe goes over here tbh. Or is the Demon unbeatable on WM weekend?
Every time I see that Corbin/Aries beatdown I do the
when Corbin manages to hit Regal square in the face with the t shirt from outside the ring. Nearly as good as Xavier's trombone tossing. Corbin's heel image is getting more and more over every week with the crowds... actual heat. 
I feel like Apollo has lost momentum - hopefully The Drifter will do the favours after a surprisingly good match. I don't get The Drifter persona, but he can definitely go in the ring. Is it too perfect a match to get him tagging with Sandow on that "we're your intellectual betters" schtick? I'd rather see Ciampa on the Takeover card at this point tbh.
Great video package for Nakamura. I've not seen much of him outside of the odd clip here or there, so I'm really looking forward to this match. Sami Zayn's not quite over with me, but hopefully this is the showcase he needs to convince me.
I love the way they've built up Dana and Emma to effectively be Asuka's mouthpiece by letting her destroy them week in week out. Asuka doesn't need to carry long promos in a second language if there's a steady stream of vanquished heels warning the babyface that her biscuit's getting dunked.
The weekly show hasn't quite hit it's 2015 heights yet this year, but it's still WAY more worthy of time than Raw which I've been struggling to find time for since LU came back.

So... Sami gone. Apollo gone. Corbin gone. Vaudevillians gone. Enzo and Cass gone. It's only a matter of time for Bayley. Finn may get called up soon. Whose left in NXT?
Nakamura, Joe, Asuka, Alpha Males, Nia Jaxx, Drifter...
