It's because Bo Dallas is only 22 so he's got a long time to go.

Happy Happyist posted:I don't understand WWE's fascination with Bo Dallas. They seem to go on about what a heartthrob and future star he is, but the dude looks like a total creeper and there are tons of new talent that are better than him. I guess if this was the 70s or 80s it'd be a different story. He is IRS's kid, his uncles are the Windhams, and his grandfather is Blackjack Mulligan.

VogeGandire posted:Well, to be fair, the difference between Regal and Lawler is at least Paige is above the age of consent. It would be real nice for a female wrestler to brutally and violently assault Lawler, Regal and Nigel and make it clear to them to only watch them as a wrestler and not a sex object. Because it's annoying. And it'd be annoying if it was a female play by play constantly talking about a male wrestler. It isn't interesting colour commentary. It isn't valuable colour commentary. It's a waste of colour commentary.

There are some things I don't understand. 1) Was Tyson Kidd's appearance on NXT filmed right before he got injured? 2) How do NXT and Saturday Morning Slam work as shows for the live crowd? Presumably no one goes to a half-hour or hour-long live show; I suppose they have another hour or two of dark matches?

...Oh. I thought there was enough SMS-specific decoration that it must be a house show, but I guess it's basically just some banners and green lighting effects, huh?

Keeping it through a body slam and judo toss and poo poo was just really nice.

Usual raft of NXT thoughts as I watch. - The Dustytron got bigger, I like it. - NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!! TOURNAMENT!! I'm excited now. - I have named Yoshi and Percy "OhaiyOHYEAH!" - Dusty's booking the tournament after it starts? - Oh christ I choked on my dinner at Regal's line about Sasha Banks' family. - Alicia Fox does great suplexes. - Aksana vs Paige next week, finally a true test of Paige's ability to carry someone. - OH BOY CONOR O' BRIAN IS BACK! ASCENSION LIVES!! - I'm pretty sure they don't want Corey Graves sparking mass squealing among the female NXT crew. - The 13th Step is the best submission finisher in WWE. Christ it looks painful. - The what chant has infected NXT. gently caress. - Holy poo poo how much did Neville bounce off that moonsault! I'm calling the finals of this as those 2 vs Cruel and Unusual Punishment. - So we're caught up enough with WWE continuity that Big E is in with Ziggler now, still over as gently caress. - Oh man, Conor O'Brian vs Big E for the title!

Oh my. Corey Graves' old ring name was Sterling James Keenan. His finisher is the Thirteenth Step.

My man Percy needs to get himself a better tag team partner I feel. Yoshi is holding him back. Derrick Bateman would be good I think.

Although I kinda wish he'd retained his old indie finisher, the MK Ultra. Can kind of understand why they said no, though, I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHmhbfMBVEI Head-drops ahoy.

That's not a head-drop, that's a concerted effort to ensure the other guy never walks again. Anyway, the joke was that his name was Sterling James Keenan after Maynard James Keenan, the vocalist of A Perfect Circle, who have an album named The Thirteenth Step.

There's absolutely no sense of gravitas or importance - at best she's monotone, and at worst she sounds kind of confused. I assume she's pretty or something, though I can't actually recall ever having seen her on camera.

She sounds either confused or happy, neither of which are good things for ring announcers, especially when announcing people like the Wyatt Family and Corey Graves.

Cromulent posted:It's a back bump. Granted, it's really high-angle, but it's still just a back bump. Yeah, but it's so high-angle, if he's even a few centimetres out, they're taking it straight on the point of the neck. Plus, if he's significantly taller than the person he does it to, it's going to be even worse. Generally, no bad don't do poo poo like that ever.

She looks like what you'd get if you fused Kelly Kelly and Michelle McCool into one person.
