the harsh divide between "main event" and "midcard" nxt is brutal for the booking. I really wish we had more undercard challengers to the top belt, makes the champion's reign way more meaningful and allows people to lose great matches and stay over. like, apollo crews's best moment in wwe so far was his match with finn, do more of that please

We had one just the last tapings, and people were complaining about Ohno being pinned clean.

This is a fair point, but I think the difference was that some people (myself somewhat included, though I try to be realistic) wanted Ohno to debut huge and run over the upper midcard, debuting at the same height as Drew or Roode, and instead he got pinned quickly by Roode instead of being protected at all. That's not really a problem of "midcard vs champion," it's more like "fresh face vs champion."

I don't love Drew beating the midcard right out of the gate, but like, I'll admit that if Ohno had done the same thing I would have been happy, so maybe that's just personal bias on my part

also less people should be talking about Drew McIntyre and more people should be talking about Dylan Miley. They should put him with Heavy Machinery and Kassius Ohno in a big guy destroying everything stable.

Not sure about the idea of a Roode/Itami feud, especially if they're going to drag it out to the next Takeover. I'd much rather Itami goes to Raw/205 Live sooner rather than later.

Roode/Itami is a weird feud. Roode's almost face-ish over with his theme and decent mic work. That doesn't matter against Nakamura who'd get cheered over almost anyone, but against Itami, who doesn't have anywhere approaching the charisma or (unless he's got a lot better while he's been injured) the mic skills? I can easily see the crowd cheering for Roode.

Itami's big selling point is his ringwork, so I hope they have him run through some good matches and not just the development cans in the leadup to the next event.

Why would it do that!?
I think it's an easy feud, Roode can just try to reinjure him again, crowd gets behind the beleaguered face, easy heat really.

Also my phone tries to correct Roode to Roodepoort.

tbh they should do that more often. Always thought their biggest mistake last year was not holding a Takeover between Summerslam and Survivor Series.

If you told me 10 years ago that Nakamura would have more charisma than KENTA I'd leap over the ropes and then lightly kick you in the face as you lay on the mat.

KENTA owns and I hope to see at least one strong NXT run from him, but his body just seems to be totally broken down these days. Even Nakamura managed to make it to the main roster unscathed, while Hideo Itami kinda feels like a forgotten man.

To be fair his most recent injury was due to his opponent's botch.

Thought the WWE owned the Spirit Squad gimmick. Guessing this is literally just Kenny Dykstra and Mike Mondo and the writer just got lazy.

e: no, wait, they're actually billed as the Spirit Squad on Cagematch, so...idk?

I watched part of an old nakamura/shibata match from 2004 because I was looking for one from I think 2013 or something and drat, I knew he was a lot more boring back then but I wasn't aware quite how boring. Shibata used to have a big ol chubby face too which is funny

A Daniels/Sydal program would be fun considering their history. And Sydal and Delirious are ultra tight so it could actually happen and even be in the cards!
