I stand corrected. The two of them should start a "Good spear, awful hair" club.

Reigns has normal hair. You are thinking of Rollins. Edge's spear at least looked good because he normal had momentum from it and not just a normal bounce off the ropes and hug like Bo's.

I don't recall Edge ever doing a Spear that looked good that wasn't some kind of special circumstance (Taker into the cell, Foley through a flaming table, Hardy from two stories up, etcetera). Whatever "momentum" he has going totally dies when the actual tackle consists of hopping sideways and sort of patting their waist.

You liked Edge's spear? It always looked terrible and non-painful because he would just jump and hug around their waist lightly. Reigns' looks good because he completely leaves his feet and looks like he's transferring all that momentum into the tackle (in no small part because of his football background, I'm sure). Kaitlyn does the same thing and that's why hers is good too.

Kaitlyn's spear looks bad about half the time she does it.

Pay no attention to me, for I am a stupid cunt.
I always thought that Edge's Spear was the worst of the lot, it wasn't a tackle or a GORE!, it was a gentle hug that he approached somewhat rapidly.

Rhino's GORE (GORE GORE) will always be the best spear ever.

Maybe if they had a wide angle lens.

So Summer Rae is Fandango's dance girl who can't actually dance. Why'd they get rid of the other girl? She owned.

A lot of the spear also depends on how the person takes it. Reigns' spear of Cena looked like poo poo because Cena jumped and was falling over by the time Reigns got there. If like Aksana or Rosa is taking it then it'll probably look lovely. But if Kaitlyn spears AJ and AJ bends in about nine different directions it'll probably look real cool.

Probably because they were likely paying the other girl per appearance, while Summer Rae was already under WWE contract and has pretty much gotten as much education as she's going to get out of NXT.

Alternative theory: Kelly Kelly refused to return to WWE and they need to get started on prepping her doppelgänger replacement.

Except for Summer being way better than K2. For one, she can actually wrestle and is a pretty great heel.

Well, to be fair, "way better than K2" isn't exactly a bar that's set very high. :v:

I haven't seen her work since FCW was taken off of Bright House during the transition to NXT, and at that point in time she was pretty much just a GM figure, so there's definitely room for her to be impressive as far as I'm concerned.

She only just started wrestling feuding with Paige on NXT. She's obviously super green but shows promise in actually working a body part over (and hitting a bad spinning kick as a finisher...) with her gimmick basically being somewhere between Maryse's and Michelle McCool's which she plays up well.

She definitely needs a bit more time to get comfortable in the ring; she's only had a couple matches and while she cuts a decent promo she's still pretty sloppy. Honestly if they just keep her as Fandango's partner for a while and get her used to the big arenas while giving her some more time in development she has the potential to be a very solid member of the women's roster.

Truth be told I'm still annoyed they didn't bring up Emma for Fandango's partner; she isn't really feuding with anyone in NXT, her gimmick's getting over and she already knows her way around the ring, plus she could be a solid catalyst for a return of Johnny Curtis if that's where they wanted to go.

Tom "Sylvestre 'The French Stallion' Lefort" La Ruffa is going to be debuting on the may 30th NXT, taped tonight, managing Scott Dawson and Garrett Dylan. I dont know anything about NXT, wrestling, sports, or entertainment, so can someone please fill me in on these guys? They seem utterly generic.

Yeah, that's the old FCW arena so it's probably a house show. I guess we probably won't see Zayn/Cesaro just yet. :smith:

Edit: sounds like there was a taping last night, so perhaps the photo was from some other show?

As for the guys he's with, Garrett Dylan had kind of an "old school southern brawler" vibe going on last time I saw him and I think the other guy is Jack Carter, son of Vader and guy who has been drifting since his sleazy team with Corey Graves broke up.

Yeah, she's clearly knows how to sell, but her offense is still very sloppy. Still, that's why they call it developmental.

Watching that series with Emma training with Lance Storm, makes me amazed at how well she learned from him. She's amazing now from what she was then.
