Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....
I really don't get NXT signings sometimes. Bobby Fish, 37 years old? WHY?!? Hypothetically I suppose working with him will help other wrestlers, especially the tag wrestlers, but it seems like a weird expense unless he's been explicitly brought in to be a trainer in the future.

Speaking of tag teams, Street Profits look awful. Cryme Tyme 2.0 with more shoulder dancing?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
At this point it's probably best to either run NXT as two-hours live or combine it with 205 Live and send them all back to Florida because they've got way too many people right now and I guarantee that they'll never be able to figure out what to do with them on RAW or Smackdown.

I feel so bad for all the good talent being burned away in 205 Live because they're being stripped of anything that made them exciting or unique and the crowds are almost always dead for them because there's like, barely any reason to care about most of them. Putting them back with NXT would at least take them out from under the microscope and let them put on CWC style matches again.

Full Sail had it's moments but just like the ECW and TNA fans they need to be put to rest. Bring NXT to Reseda

Each show would include vignettes before and after every match on how great the audience is and how only they can truly appreciate and understand wrestling, complete with Triple H coming down to the ring and telling them how great and important they are and how THEY are the show while crying and then every night the show closes with at least one member of the audience being invited in the ring to piss all over him while he cries some more and explains he's not worthy, and that no one is worthy of such a great audience.

their logo would be a fan with a diamond studded crown decked out in full sail attire sodomizing the old NXT logo while triple h sheds tears of joy in the background.

Move it to Pittsburgh, that's where they do medicals anyway plus Stage AE is a nice venue and I can park for free at the Casino coming from work and get a nice walk in.

At least do a touring show there again, really they seemed to have lapsed on the whole live tour thing.

I'm convinced NXT can't tour in the same towns more than once. They were in Royal Oak early last year and I haven't heard of a show anywhere near here since, despite the crowd being extremely hot the entire time. It was deafening when people were booing The Drifter, singing a variation of "Just a Friend" for Bayley, and it was doubly loud than it was for the Drifter when the crowd was cheering for "EminEnzo" doing a rap before the match.

They are except for shows at Stage AE, mainly because its much smaller (and because Consol is bad at capturing crowd energy) this year I was at a ROH taping from 6-midnight and the crowd was pretty hot throughout the tapings.

Yeah, at least 5 of them were suspiciously ever-present young women who I'm sure were absolutely not paid to be in the front row on hard cam every single night.

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

I was at that show and he was legitimately taking up two seats. They had to bring out an extra chair for the poor guy who had the ticket next to him. If you watch those episodes you can see him sitting by himself in some empty space between sections.

They just need to fire 1/3 of the entire roster. We have 7 hours of TV each week and we still can't get the entire roster on TV. I've stopped watching most weekly shows because there are so many people I just don't care about. Which is a great in a way, but I hate that I have to fast forward and pick and choose what I want because of so much garbage

I'm really disappointed to not see more discussion of NXT finally letting the hosses run wild in the main event. I think Heavy Machinery showed good fire and the announcers did a great job getting across that they were impressive but not ready to be champs. AoP continues to improve so fast and I really, really want to see them wrestle War Mahcine.

He is in a superposition of states, where goodness is dependent on the WWE show making the observation. The NXT detector is measuring a 'good' reading. The RAW detector has been playing up lately, so don't count on him staying good.

Yeah, fun new matchup, both teams looked good. Kind of weird in that it didn't feel like the show built up to. I forgot Heavy Machinery had a title match until AOP turned up!

Also, Vannessa had the weird thing of when I saw her move I thought "neat little signiature, a bit different, not too painful looking, a good unique setup move". And then she got the pin with it and......another finisher hopefully will be developed.

But it's hard coming into WWE, where suddenly you probably can't do any of your normal finishers because they're already taken.
