Why does it need to exist at all?

I just don't get it. It's just airing a dark match at some taped event. At least they're generally well worked, but the non-stop recaps on a show that literally no one watches who hasn't seen RAW or Smackdown or Main Event, or Slam, or NXT, so why do we need so much recap on a show which is basically "decent dark match On Demand"

Yeah, Antonio's not the best on commentary but it was nice of him to knock the Miz down a couple pegs. Miz/Cole is probably my least favourite commentary team these days. The tag match was a lot of fun, too - as much as I'd like to see Tyson Kidd succeed in WWE, I'd really love to see what he could do in a PWG/ROH run.



December 26, 2012 Best-of show

Jinder vs. Seth Rollins for the NXT title
Richie Steamboat and Bray Wyatt promos
Bray Wyatt vs. Aiden English
Kassius Ohno segment/promos

CM Punk, John Cena, Corey Graves, etc. segments
Kane vs. Cody Rhodes (new?)
Shield promo (new)

Also if they're bringing Big E Langston over to Raw/Smackdown I hope they don't have him do that ridiculous five count thing all the time.

Wade vs. multiple opponents in a GAUNTLET MATCH

Sweet gently caress the Miz is terrible. "Your title reign is going to end prematurely, like your baldness" and "you really did just come off a boat didn't you?" were this week's lowlights. I hope Cesaro uppercuts his larynx off.

Forgot a couple of last week's shows as I was working this weekend:



December 27, 2012

Mostly a clip show, but you might catch a Kane/Darren Young match if you watch carefully

That ending ruled, the crowd really helped it out. Also interested in McGuillicutty face turn?

Also I kind of wished we could have made a thing in the OP describing a lot of the main guys/gals in NXT. I think if I have the time, I'll post some dossiers on a lot of the NXT with their pros and cons along with their potential in the WWE.

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
The ending for NXT was hot as gently caress but at the same time I'm wishing it allowed Rollins vs. Graves to go on longer and not end in a DQ since they only got about 4 or 5 minutes and what they had was pretty good.

Kidd/Gabriel vs. Ohno/Kruger was an awesome TV match.

Sasha Banks has looked good in both of her squashes showing a lot of fire when she does her little brief comeback flurries and the lucha armdrag and cazadora are both pretty cool and should help make her stand out from the other Divas for reasons other than looks or personality.

Skipped the opening match because :geno: Bo Dallas :geno: .

OK watched NXT now.

Bo's masochist gimmick is not working with the ALL AMERICAN FLAG tron.
Sasha Banks is drat good, but she's not Paige so the NXT crowd don't care.
Cruel and Unusual Punishment is a team I really need to see more of.
I love everything about Corey Graves, and they managed to successfully turn Seth Rollins with the NXT crowd by putting him against the most over motherfucker on the roster next week. Someone needs to be taking notes.

I haven't seen much of either (or much of NXT at all) so which of the two do you think is better? To me Bo looks a little young. I saw his match with Big Show a few weeks ago and it creeped me out a little bit.

Edit: he's 22? Dang. Whatever. I'm 26 but I look about 12.

People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.
I like that Bray is doing a good version of the Waylon Mercy gimmick. That's one of those gimmicks that had a ton of potential, except the Spivey couldn't work worth poo poo at that point. The old school vignettes would be a great way to introduce Wyatt to WWE tv.

Bray is MILES ahead of Bo. I mean, Bo might be good in the future, but he's green as all hell right now.

Bray on the other hand is one of the best mic-workers I've seen in YEARS. Plus he's got that Vader-esque speed, where your brain tells you a guy that big shouldn't be that agile.

Honestly they should just replay his NXT vignettes on a Smackdown or Raw because those were perfect. The only thing I'm worried about are the rear end in a top hat fans who will chant "Husky" at him during his matches or What him during his promos.

Bray's the perfect gimmick to turn that back on the fans, though.

He can simply rant about how they want to bring him down, they want to make him humble, blah blah blah.

The thing with Tensai getting "Albert" chants and Ryback getting "Goldberg" chants is neither of them is competent enough on the microphone to pick one up and scold the fans. Bray could take care of "Husky" chants on day 1.

Having watched Bo in FCW and now NXT I think he's ok, but he hasn't improved at all in the time he's been there. Bray is worlds ahead of where he was and has a lot more tools, but for whatever reason I hear they are still really high on Bo because of his "look".
