im so happy for rhyno hes like the old dog that got adopted by an insanely loving family living out the last years of his life with a special bed and all the toys he could ever play with

I've also been pleasantly surprised at the work he puts in. I mean, he's no spring chicken and he's not putting on any masterpieces out there, but he's not just coasting either.

I still can't get over Corbin's weird skinnyfat torso. I don't know, put a Roman Reigns Shameful Body Flak Jacket on him and shave his head and I might be okay with the guy

Speaking of people who have really improved

Dana Brooke

I can't tell if she's improved that much or if Asuka is just so good that she can literally carry anyone to an awesome match

(edit) THAT JUMPING ARM BAR

I think Asuka probably can carry anyone to a good match, since you don't really have to sell her moves so much as you just try not to die as she does whatever the gently caress she wants

that was a loving great debut

I have a horrible feeling it'll be really good but not up to the unrealistic expectations so it'll go down as a disappointment. See: most Takeover main events.

To be fair, most Takeover main events have been disappointments because they've immediately followed a womens' match that stole the show

That's...weird. I kind of assumed they were setting up a deeper angle here. Maybe WWE has just overconditioned me to expect a clusterfuck.

Sasha landing on her head count: 1

If I have any complaint about Sasha it's that she's has a bizarre talent for landing awkwardly on her head and neck. Not in a "oh that's a cool sell" way but more in a "oh her loving spine" way.

I really hope they don't screw Bayley up when she moves to the main roster. She should be a huge star for them.

My hope is that she's well-known enough now because of these last few matches and NXT has gained enough mainstream following that her gimmick won't get the Emma Dance Perplexed Silence.

can wwe just stop pretending televised nxt is developmental and just pay all the top women's wrestlers there main roster money in order to be a separate division?

I've honestly been wishing for this for awhile. They have enough women's talent now to do a 1-hour show of their own, and they could stop trying to cram ALL their talent in via tag matches or three way matches or stables that no one cares about
