Peyton and Billie are literally just doing the Beautiful People gimmick from mid 2000s TNA.

And the both still stink in the ring.

Yeah I'm fine with a transitional undeserving heel reign to buffer the Joshi supremacy reigns a little, and Peyton's a solid talker with a good look and will be able to have a decent match with the workrate stars. Nikki would be fine too but seems to be in like 3 storylines already and turning face.

The Beautiful People + NXT's own BFFs. Hell, I'd say Emma & Dana already did the same gimmick better in NXT. WWE needs to learn a new way to write women teams.

I’ll give her the fisherman’s suplex being great and she’s not bad in the ring.

It’s just hard to get behind a woman that looks and sounds like a peacock that hangs out with Cruella DeVille.

Man, the MYC did so much good for NXT. Also, she’s drat pretty.

I can forgive Lio for messing up the hard cam. And really enjoy the movement he showed off in that match.

Wasn't it Finn who originally said he had to learn how to work to the WWE cameras anyway? How did that become a "HHH thinks indy guys don't know how to work" thing?

Because HHH IS AS BAD AS VINCE straw-grasping (where there's a ton of more legitimate "ammo" to bitch about w/r/t WWE's treatment of new signees).

Styles said that if he had hosed up camera facing just once around his debut he'd get depushed, so it was imperative that less experienced guys learn the ropes at NXT. He also claimed that guys who came up through the PC together were less cutthroat carny with each other.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



I mean there's a tiny bit of truth to it, but HHH isn't going to say "Oh, we are keeping these vets in NXT because we need them to carry the brand to make NXT (and me) look good", so instead you get "Hey they need to learn a few things."

Finally went to my first ever live wrestling show (an NXT house show in Jacksonville, FL) and it was amazing. I'm sure a lot of goons have been to live shows and I imagine the sheen probably wears off, but I had an amazing time. From Lio Rush kicking the poo poo out of some German dude to finally seeing Kairi's elbow drop in person, it was loving awesome. The real highlight however was seeing Lars Sullivan, Riddick Moss, and Tucker Knight rolling into the Whataburger we went to. I'm definitely going back next time they roll through.

Live wrestling is almost always a blast, glad you had a great time - especially if it isn't on television, the wrestlers don't have to deal with that additional pressure plus they get to play around with the standard format a bit and try different things.

Drew is so great, and I'm glad he's champ - with his height and look and ability I figure he can't be long for NXT before they haul him up to the main roster though.

Yea, this is the armory. The crowd was awesome, but there was a guy screaming "PEARL HARBOR!" at Cheng Yuxiang that was pretty awkward.

I wish that 205 Live were booked better and taken more seriously because despite Itami's best efforts to be a heavyweight he would be great against some of the cruiserweights he could do his cocky shtick on
