gently caress yeah it did. Sure he's another dancing face, but he's got charisma and was allowed to show some fire.

No Way Jose is my dude and I'm stuck rooting for him.

In PWG he got legit heat for a year straight which is very hard to do with a PWG audience.

Why does Full Sail seem to hate Aliyah? Is it some backstage thing? She's not the most phenomenal worker out there, but she seems perfectly serviceable. I felt kind of bad during one episode a few weeks back when the crowd seemed to be booing her for no obvious reason. Straight up X-Pac heat.

Also she jobbed mostly off-screen before the MYC even started and it feels like a waste. :(

When Enzo and Cass first debuted, the audience sang along with their entrance spiel; they'd been doing dark matches and segments before appearing on NXT TV. The Full sail audience sees things we don't- they've maybe seen her have bad matches, botches, constant gimmick changes and heel/face alignments, we just don't know. Maybe the first match was so awful we didn't see it, and they booed that Aliyah had botched the finish? We don't know.

Or just that she's somewhat painfully a green rookie with nothing that she does well enough to cheer her? Too many faces that WWE and NXT can't seem to work out why would the audience cheer them.

The final NXT taping before NXT Brooklyn is tonight.

Also there's several ex-ROH wrestlers doing their medicals today in Orlando (sup Roque). With one likely making their debut.

There might be more MYC qualifiers too I guess.

I loved his 2nd PWG title win, great heeling. He had been going after Kyle O'Reilly for many months with cheap shots and had really pissed him off. After O'Reilly beat Ricochet (who was using his BOLA title shot) in a great match Roddy came out and taunted and goaded Kyle into a title match right there. Roddy then literally tore the ring apart to beat an exhausted Kyle and got nuclear heat if I remember correctly.

After Roddy lost the title to ZSJ he tried to do the same thing by invoking his rematch clause after ZSJ had a title defense but ended up getting submitted.

I was looking up old Kurt Angle bits on the Network last night and I happened upon Roddy competing in the Kurt Angle Open Challenge. It went about as well as you'd think, but he's a hilarious piece of poo poo in it.

I vaguely recall a story where Angle asked him what he wanted to do in the match, and Roddy listed all kinds of spots thinking they would all just get shot down and Angle was like "Alright kid, if you can pull it off you can do it"

e: Here it is! And I must have confused it with a different story because he said "Don't you try anything boy"

If you're wondering why the crowds have been so quiet in recent tapings, uh ... this is certainly something

Observer posted:

Speaking of the 7/12 tapings, one person there noted to us a strange almost backfire of sorts revolving around Mauro Ranallo. At the tapings, the crowd was mostly quiet again. We’re told in some places if fans started to make noise, other fans would tell them to be quiet because the building is so small and Ranallo talks so loud that if there’s no crowd noise, you can hear the commentary, and a lot of the live fans want to hear the commentary

This reminds me of CHIKARA shows where no matter how loud the crowd was, you could hear Gavin Loudspeaker and Ultramantis Black yelling over commentary.

I haven't watched NXT in a while but I feel like as soon as they started doing Takeovers the Full Sail crowd turned into a group of the most obnoxious entitled smarks. I imagine they can't be worse than the Philly ECW crowds, though.

Also I just saw on Facebook that one local indie guy that I've seen, Timmy Lou Retton (gymnast gimmick, claims to be son of Mary Lou Retton), is down at NXT. I saw him wrestling at a food truck rodeo in Raleigh at a brew pub and he was wearing an American flag singlet and got a huge USA chant. He did a really good splash from the top ropes and it was probably the slickest move the crowd saw all night other than a guy who was Giant Haystacks levels of fat take only one bump that nearly collapsed the ring (he fell down).
