Most of whom (with the exception of Bayley paying off a "surprise partner" angle on PPV) got ice-cold reactions and didn't draw new interest to NXT. I don't know why they keep doing this when it clearly doesn't work.

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.

Best part of the Zayn one is that you can isolate the frame where he hosed his shoulder up mugging for the crowd.

I don't know, I think that summed up his time on the main roster pretty accurately

Lets all just assume that those four will wrap up their time in NXT with whatever the Wrestlemania Takeover is.

Give Kofi the title and have Bryan and Owens have a half hour grudge match. Then Kofi faces... Joe.

Babyface KO is at least something new. And Owens didn't really debut until Bryan's first big absence (the one BEFORE the retirement) so they haven't interacted much.

this is really awesome and yay if KO comes back and yay for this feud but god drat gently caress DAMMIT if they don't do a Kofi/Bryan high-stakes Mania match, like career v title.

will WWE ever actually strike when the iron is hot?

While I want Kofimania as much as any of you guys, KO/Bryan sets up my fantasy booking of Sami betraying KO and forming the Green Day with Bryan and Rowan.

Eh, it's not as good storywise as Kofi, but it's easily the next best option. And probably better in-ring.

kofimania will be in 2020 after he finally wins the royal rumble qhen someone else does the Kofi spot and he eliminates them to win

KO is 100x a better choice than AJ for the 3rd time or god forbid, Randy Orton, though still not as good as Samoa Joe or the obvious Kofi runback they'll waste at Fastlane

I'll look forward to the new Smackdown Six of AJ/Bryan/Samoa Joe/KO/Mustafa Ali/hopefully Aleister Black, though

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.
