I want to like Patrick Clarks gimmick but I feel like there is no commitment from him. It doesn't seem like he believes anything he is doing. He is just being generic flamboyant guy. Even his tights are just black. Dude needs something a bit more.

A match with Darren Young who beats the gimmick out of him and tells him to take this queer-baiting, dead-rear end prince, lisping horseshit back to middle school .

Kairi Hojo of Stardom has agreed to a three-year contract with WWE per the Observer.

Io Shirai maybe WWE bound too Meltzer doesn't make that super clear.

Wasn't the speculation that Shirai was definitely signing and Hojo was on the fence? Maybe I'm getting mixed up but I definitely remember it being that way round.

They campaigned, and then won. Nobody else did videos and stuff to try and get people to vote for them.

Maybe it was legit in some form, more likely Ember is going towards a title shot and they were selling the hell out of the Eclipse. Which is insane, as it's her most over thing by far, everyone already believes it as a definite win.

i kept thinking peyton was gonna turn on her for not winning for them or something, i dunno, just kinda did... nothing.

that crowd though, hoo boy. i assume next week was taped at the same show. maybe they'll liven up a little more if there's not half un-matches (and almas beating up the tinyboy from hong kong) but that's the least-engaged nxt crowd i've ever seen.

i checked out a little after takeover, aside from watching a few clips, it looks like ember moon has a few more spots besides a sick-rear end finisher, which is nice, and i like that ddt that almas did, even if it doesn't really play to his strengths. still looked awesome. chrissius hono and bobby roode oughta be good, i guess. i mean, bobby roode is good enough for a really good wrestler to make a fine match? whatever.

i hope its not for more than one more week, trying to build to takeover with a crowd that feels like it's as papered as an average impact taping is gonna be ROUGH.

i think it'll be only one more week though, they brought out about half the talent that'd be marketable at this show, next week is gonna be ohno/roode, diy will probably be in it, maybe asuka mercing some jobber lady, and, uhhh, the drifter and oney lorcan, i dunno, i don't read spoilers.

if i were to guess for the takeover main event, since they were stressing nakamura's rematch tonight, ohno wins next week, two weeks of tapings set up nakamura and roode both wanting their rematch at takeover, REEEEEGAALL, triple threat at takeover, one of roode or ohno wins so shinsuke can finally go to the main roster.

I think WWE must have a contract to shoot at this area during WM season and they shouldn't reup because no one goes to these shows and more often than not the crowd is bad.

If it wasn't a legit injury, it was a refreshing change to how matches usually end. With the winner on the ramp and the loser in the ring acting all salty.

Based on what? She's coming to Orlando during WM so I'd have to say she's at least seriously considering the offer.

The list isn't mine BTW, just one I found. You can probably add Mia Yim to it somewhere as well.
