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.

Also the NXT crowd popped huge for Drew, confirmation that the NXT crowd is freaking awesome.
At first I thought they were just ironically cheering things, like the heels just to be typical rear end in a top hat college students, but they're a really fun crowd, something I never expected to get out of Florida again after TNA booted out their devoted mutants or whatever they called themselves.

They even have fans with their own gimmicks like the guy who wears that chicken mask.

It's like they know who they like, but when something properly heelish happens they know to boo it. Like Drew McIntyre comes out to a big face pop, but when he wins with the cast it starts a flurry of boos.

This is before we get into the SHAH chants.

NXT crowds are seriously the hottest crowds on TV right now. I remember the Jinder/Rollins match, where the crowd went loving CRAZY for Rollins.

Not just the crowd, Saxton's loving voice cracked when he was calling the finish he was so drat hyped.

I love this Ohno/Steamboat feud and Big E's five-count gimmick. NXT is old-school booking in the best way.

So does this mean that there are more marks/cool smarks than douchebag smarks who cheer for the heels all the time.

It's a big impact finisher that looks like it could take someone out and makes him look like a big strong man.

It looks like Big E takes a back bump with the opponent cushioned against his poofy chest. It might just be the camera angles but it doesn't look dangerous at all to me. It doesn't work because Big E is so loving wide.

The Ascension are kind of a unique looking team. Even though they do look really "indy", they're different by WWE standards. Though that weird hididng in the upper levels thing made them look really stupid and has to go. At least Connor O'Brian doesn't have a rat gimmick anymore.

I'm watching the latest one and the atmosphere for these shows is great. They've really made a dedicated fanbase out of the Full Sail crowd.

Rey Mysterio vs. Michael McGillicutty
Various segments including that magnificent Q&A with DB
Socko vs. Cobra debate

The match was a lot of fun, but boy do they ever have to cut stuff out to get that G rating. It was tough to follow at points because they cut to the crowd after most impacts. The G-rated 619 variant was neat though. I loved Dolph's heel "don't try this" spot too.

Just give it some time until he gets on the main roster and everyone turns on him in mass.

The Ohno-Steamboat angle is such great simple storytelling. Ohno's a great braying jackass who also happens to be quite dangerous.

NXT: A good thing. The Ascension still need new individual names though.

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone here actually goes to the NXT tapings, but I was going to try to go to this week's. Full Sail is stupid and only lets you buy tickets in person, and I live 2 hours away. Can someone in the area do me a huge favor and get me a two tickets? I'll reimburse you at the show and also pay for your ticket(s) if you can help me out.

NXT October 10, 2012

Part 1 CM Punk promo, Johnny Curtis vs. Bo Dallas, Paige/Audrey vs. Kaitlyn/Alicia
Part 2 Jake Carter/Trent backstage, Rollins/Punk promo, Kruger vs. Dante Dash, Kruger promo, McGillicutty promo
Part 3 Rollins vs. McGillicutty with Punk, JR, and Regal on commentary

Well, looks like I can skip Main Event this week.
