Even by the standards of an Asuka match she held her own and did some great work She really didn't deserve to get sent back down, but I understand why, since her character was so weak.

Hace posted:she's defended like 4 times now, just not on specials. She's still had the belt for less than 4 months, which would be by far the shortest reign (3 months short of Sasha, 6 short of Charlotte). I see no reason to take the belt off her right now unless you're going to do a series of matches between her and Nia Jax.

Emma is better in NXT anyway now than she was before getting called up. They can eventually bring up Emma and Dana to The main show as a team when Dana gets to the level she needs to be at.

I still don't know what the gently caress they were thinking with that Crews/Corbin match, though. It made Crews look like poo poo and was just not something that should have ever happened.

It was always a character that was never going to be anything more than a dumb gimmick on the main roster. I mean that's essentially what it was on NXT anyway but they're more susceptible to it. I thought she did great in her match tonight though.

not as good as brooklyn, but still a lot of fun wasn't a huge fan of the apollo or bayley matches and the crowd lost a bit of steam after enzo & cass didn't go over, but I feel like at that point I'd just be bitching about the developmental fed actually showcasing developmental wrestlers instead of being ROH with actual production values and less pretension

Probably not, but that in itself is one of many reasons Corbin isn't worth protecting. abraham linksys posted:if they plan on bringing Corbin up soon (next few months) and keeping Crews in NXT longer it makes sense to prioritize getting Corbin over but I don't know, y'know, why the gently caress they'd want to do that and not get Crews on main product ASAP other than Triple H desperately trying to show Vince he can make stars too This is also part of my issue with it. I meant to post this when Crews made his entrance but he has real, legitimate loving presence and just looks like he should be walking around everywhere with a championship. He is 100% a person that should be protected at all costs. EDIT: And then Corbin essentially no-sold the moonsault and won. So loving derp.

Takeover London was a good show at worst, but it's weird that the landscape of NXT is basically unchanged with so much time until the next Takeover.

Astro7x posted:It really helps me feel satisfied at the end of the show, like we had conclusive finishes to matches and feuds. It could have helped both if Crews/Corbin went to double DQ, leading to some sort of gimmick No DQ or Falls count anywhere match at the next takeover. The clean finish has potentially killed Nia's match with Asuka - she's vulnerable now...

eh, they have room to do a TakeOver in February if they really wanted to. they only have non-Florida touring dates for January so far plus NXT TV actually does mean something (see Bayley's multiple title defenses, Mechanics title win) and they could change it up if they want/need to

My general read on it is that his heat is almost entirely meta-heat - the crowd saw through him after all the squashes and they're tired of him. They're doing a good job of rolling with it, but at the same time I don't think it's the kind of heat you necessarily want. I should also specify that I don't just mean that Corbin made Crews look like poo poo just through beating him. He flatout made Crews look bad at his loving job - Crews looked so much visibly slower today just to keep the match on Corbin's level and it hurt him a lot.

The thing with Corbin is that I almost kinda want to like what he's doing, there's a spark of something there that might make him a really useful heel, but it's all in the context of him and Cass being the only big men in the fed. Once you move him up to the main roster, there are a dozen other guys that size and there's no reason for him to intimidate anyone at all. Put him against Reigns and he's going to look like a bum rather than a credible threat, which is pretty much a failure at the first hurdle.

I never cared at all about Carmella before Breaking Ground but now I think she is one of the most likable people in the whole promotion. I really hope she picks it up wrestling wise so she sticks around.
