TM61 should be using the VB song (which is itself a ripoff of the Magnificent Seven theme) as their entrance music.

Azula always lies
I'll add a(nother?) dissenting voice-

TM61 have a dumb name, a boring look, and a goofy catchphrase that doesn't suit them.

I get that the 61 is the Australian international phone code, but what's the TM for now?
e: also they should deffo come to the ring in a rusty Holden with one door that's a different colour to the rest of the car

It's still "The Mighty", hence "we are The Mighty and The Mighty don't kneel".

Nope, it's supposed to be their WWE names, Thorne and Miller.

The name is objectively bad but I think pretty much everything else about them is promising. I'd like to see them work a 15+ minute match with The Revival to really see what they've got.

The Mighty 61? That makes no sense, even by WWE tag team name standards.

First of all, didn't realize Tim Wiese was that dark. I guess it might just be the lighting, but still.

He is that dark. Lots of visits to the tanning salon, or Asi-Toaster as we'd say in Germany.

TM61 will get over if given the chance to have long good matches. Unfortunately the NXT TV show has pretty few of those, and the ones they do have feature main eventers usually. Shane should start doing the Shoryuken again too. That poo poo will get over like crazy in Full Sail.

speaking of, when is Brennan Williams supposed to show up on NXT? that guy's anime gimmick is probably going to work really well for the crowd here.

Already at the Performance Center training. Couldn't tell you when he'll be on TV. There's been talent that's been fast tracked in the past while others take forever.

Breaking up #DIY now would be dumb. Tag 'em, have them win the belts, have them drop it to the Authors of Pain while building up some other loving tag teams (like TM61, who are currently super boring despite being super good), call up the Revival and #DIY.

I can't put my finger on it, but Steve Cutler kinda bums me out. It's like when an acquaintance or neighbor recommends a mechanic because it's their nephew, and you take your car to him and he's alright, but you know there's better stuff in town. He's perfectly serviceable, but why.

Andrade wants out according to Alberto:

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

It's funny, I was complaining about how NXT's lost that golden period feeling of being able to elevate midcard talent that would be otherwise neglected (at that time the only guy who seemed lost in the shuffle was Tyler Breeze, now we have Andrade and Dillinger and Jose and and and), then Ryan Ward moves to Smackdown and all of a sudden The Miz and fuckin Heath Slater start looking good / getting heat.

I mean the Miz thing in particular could crest and collapse at any moment but still, #askquestions

The next month will be interesting. As we will see where talent falls post CWC and with the October NXT class. Whether they go to Raw or are they NXT trainees or NXT "part timers" who only work live events.

I know one name that really surprised me in terms of not being a full time/mandatory Performance Center guy.

The whole situation has been really under written about all the way around.

It's no longer "get signed, go to the PC, go to the NXT TV, go to the main roster."

Things will be all over the place moving forward.

And with the Cruiserweights, we're getting an integration of NXT TV and Raw.

More now than ever, you gotta make your name on the indies before you get signed.

It is a crazy time.

I've been hoping that we'll get to see some CWC guys. I wonder if anybody else will be making the trip to "Minny" or if they'll get Daivari to do a one-off appearance or something.

I am sad that Dean Malenko is going to be fired for telling Alberto to tell Andrade to go back to Mexico.
