I can't believe Sasha's that good at only 22. Especially since a year ago she wasn't a standout at all.

NXT is basically the reason I'm subscribed to the network at this point.

When you've got a pro like Sara Del Rey training women's wrestlers it pays off big time.

Yeah, she's definitely had a really solid impact on the women's division, but give credit where it's due as well: Sasha's really stepped up into her role.

NXT's so good y'all. :allears:

It's possible that was the idea, and Steen got so hyped at his buddy's big moment that he forgot. Then as they were walking back up the ramp, he remembered "Oh, poo poo, I was supposed to kick your rear end, bro, welp, back we go..."

Not idea why people give primary credit to Sara. Billy Gunn plays a huge role much like Joey Mercury did during the Paige/Emma era. The women train with everyone.

I think a lot of people assume Billy Gunn is just a road agent and when he's at training he's just like DeMott.

Shame people take his on screen characters seriously or remember him for his soma'd up New Age Outlaws RF shoot. He's so nice. Got rave reviews from "ROH" style guys when he got clean and worked the indies before returning to the fold in WWE.

I don't think i ever read anything negative from guys who worked with him on the indies before he came back to WWE. He was a guy a who genuinely wanted to give back and help out other wrestlers whenever he could.

he probably should be mocked for his tna run though

The "Chivalry" chant that came after this is one of the reasons I love the NXT crowd. Also because they booed down the "we want Kenta" chanters and drown it out with a "Hideo" chant.

Worst goon in the universe.

Ok, I know Zaynerico has been taking that powerbomb for years now, but this is the first time I have ever seen it be so close to a neck bump. The first one Steen does in NXT and it looked the most dangerous of all the ones I have seen him do.

i think the NXT fans come off as a weird self-conscious simulacrum of wrestling fans most of the time. they were great during zayn/neville though, because they were legitimately emotionally invested rather than just playing along for once.

edit; on closer inspection he really does get hit close on the neck, although he does look like he's avoiding hitting the tron on the apron too much on the way down.

That apron bump is also shot really well. It's more protected than it appears from the angle it was shot at. Hope that camera operator got an A.

The crowd just seemed so excited for Sami, it was great. I noticed at one point a goth looking girl just losing her mind jumping up and down in happy excitement for Sami and that in turn made ME happy - Sami is the cure for teenage angst :3:

Oh drat I had assumed Mercury and Gunn were primarily road agents these days. Especially with Mercury being part of main show storylines now.

Bray murdered Ambrose with a clothesline and that was really cool. Ziggler reversed a powerbomb into a facebuster on the ladder. Other than that show sucked.
