I hope that Roddy Strong gets tiny little armor and a tiny little skull mask as gifts from his friends the Authors of Pain like Angle did with the Shield.

Homoeroticism is the secret ingredient to a great feud and I’m trying to remember the last one that was as loaded. Maybe it was DBry / Haitch? Or Miz / Ziggler? Any time one wrestler has another tangled up in the ropes and slaps him around it is 100% smut on the screen.

The weird thing here is that they seem to be aware of it (at least with the Dream character) and yet not even really using it as subtext, it’s just a wink

I've never done such a fast 180 on a dude like I have with Velveteen Dream. He has such good intensity now and it's easy to forget that he is huge.

Also, yes, Roddy definitely needs a tiny AoP outfit for War Games.

yeah dream went from a really dumb gimmick slapped on a guy who's young enough to live on and work another character to, well, gently caress it, i like this huge jacked man who loves prince.

patrick clark was gonna make something work, though, he's talented and loves wrestling.

also billie kay needs to be dumped that poo poo theme they gave to billie and peyton needs to be dumped, peyton royce is fine but yeah "iconic duo" is sucking air right now and has gone on way too long.

Billie Kay rules. Her Parasite Eve boss music rules. She and Peyton together rule. "Sweet Valley High Villains" is a great concept for a heel team. :colbert:

Pairing Roddy with the Authors of Pain is actually kind of making Roddy interesting to me, when he was just kind of "Another guy who is good at wrestling" before. Then again I am an unashamed AoP lover because I think I might have the worst wrestling opinions.

Like, I hope Ohno jobs to Lars because I love that terrifying flesh golem man. And I'm rooting for Dream over Black because I need SSJ2 Muscle-Prince on my television forever.

Instead of getting baby sized AOP gear, why not make Roddy paul ellering's new puppet? Like even ellering is a lot bigger th an roddy. Just have roddy sit on Paul's knee and pretend to talk while Paul throws his voice.

I really like Kairi and her elbow drop is a thing of great beauty, but I can't help but wonder how long it'll take before the "I smile and pat my elbow" thing starts to wear thin. What I'm saying is, I know she's only been around for a couple of months, but they need to give her something else to work with because she's clearly got a lot to offer.

Yeah she hasn't been doing much that really has me interested at all so far, but she's 100% got the skills to do so.

Kairi's thing is getting the crowd into the match (see: STARDOM), as she is a super babyface. Also she was incredibly goofy in STARDOM. As of right now, what she does now is perfectly fine, as she's still learning English. Admittedly, she's learning it at a much faster pace than Asuka did.

They should pair Kairi and Becky, if only because of the pun potential.

I think people say its too early to put the title on Kairi right now, mostly because you have a vocal (although somewhat minor) part of the NXT viewer base screaming about how she's exactly like Asuka, including getting the same push (and being "undefeated"), and how WWE needs to stop pushing Japanese talent.

Then again, these same people also think Peyton Royce is the savior of the NXT Womens Division, so who cares. If Kairi loses at Takeover War Games, that throws out the whole Asuka-level push thing.

Kairi will probably be the last Japanese talent to go through NXT for awhile anyways, unless WWE decides to start looking at people like Hana Kimura or Mayu Iwatani. Which wouldn't shock me, considering Hana should be in the running for most improved female wrestler of 2017.

Probably not Bram with Ric and Charlotte still in the company but maybe his non-union American counterpart, Gunner.

Ricochet's no-compete runs through January so don't get your hopes up for seeing him in the Takeover crowd.

I wonder if they stopped doing that "whoa who's that in the crowd?" thing now that everyone expects it and they tipped their hand on pending signings. They didn't even do one in Brooklyn.

unless they go after men again this January. No clue who that would be, just saying they still have room for at least one more Japanese guy in all likelihood.

and I don't think Ricochet would debut in NXT anyways, if he talks to their standards he can go straight into the main roster. Wonder which date in January that no-compete expires...

Cavauro

sometimes they should put people in the crowd who aren't signing. That way, there is indisputable evidence that merely showing someone who happens to be at your show does not interfere with a no-compete clause. the person can say they did not wish to be filmed. the person should have their real name show up underneath them, and an explanation of where they are signed to. if they get fired because of this, it's not the company's fault and even if it is, no one will care pretty quick. it's a win/win/win situation

They should find that 700 pound fan in the red shirt and have him in the look who's here spot at Takeover. That would be good.

Butt first, let's

Yeah, he's just a guy with nothing special. He does an ok intense muscle man thing but WWE/NXT have a lot of those.

And he's gotta be near 40. Its odd.

Did Crazy Steve get signed too? At what point does it kind of feel like WCW just signing every random guy just to do it?
