It doesn't feel right if I'm not flipping Roddy off and calling him a piece of poo poo.

TM61 looked great in their match. Their strikes are so stiff. I want them to get a big angle going already. I did find it interesting that Nese was doing most of the work on the other side though.

Honestly I think TM61 should go heel. I think they would do a great job as an arrogant tag team.

I think it has something to do with where they are from in Australia. Like it's their zip code or area code or something.

All I know is, if they don't fast-track Tommy End onto NXT TV and Takeover cards they're loving up. I want to watch him kick Austin Aries' dipshit truther face in.

Agreed. I want to see more spinning knees to the head. The cool thing about Tommy End too is that he is legit a scary looking dude. He is tall as hell and tatted up.

He's billed at 5'11" so I don't see him standing out as much once he reaches WWE.

it offends me that a guy w/ Tommy End's look and apparently a legit kickboxing background throws so many thigh-slapping kicks and does moonsaults and poo poo tbh

His moonsault is loving gorgeous though. And his jumping knees are the most brutal thing I have seen in forever.

Also, I just kinda owned myself.

I read about the Eddie Kingston tryout and caught myself thinking "man, Eddie Kingston has to be so old and busted up by now, what does WWE want with him?" and then I realised he's literally only 3 days older than me.

I also haven't seen Eddie wrestle since whatever he did in Chikara in like 2010 but he was pretty drat broken down back then.

I could see them signing him as a dude to give promo classes or something. Maybe do a light schedule on NXT. I don't know how he would do full time.

That tag match sold me on Tucker/Otis, but it seemed like a really weird way to debut Roderick Strong; I guess NXT is still content to rely on "it's this guy!!!!!". I really hope he's a heel though; I'm not nearly as familiar with Roddy as most of you, but he seems like he'd be real good at condescending to everyone.

Billie and Peyton seems like the same mean girls schtick that women heels always get, but I did like the vicious beatdown.

Just let Roddy go in and chop motherfuckers really hard and he will get over.

Main roster titantrons are just words now too. They've moved away from the showing moves type.

I mean there is really no need too. No one is really watching the videos and at this point they are there to push the aesthetic of the wrestler.

I love Alexa Bliss (she's even one of my favorite women in WWE), but you cannot tell me that she was ready to go to the main roster after that match she had with Naomi. Plus, I feel she could have played off some of the personalities back in NXT.

their match on smackdown was way better and she improves every week.

Man, the last thing NXT needs is a massive loving stable. The talent pool already feels kind of thin without grouping a bunch of people together.

Not to mention that we will probably only see one guy in the ring for a few minutes every week. It's going to be so slow moving.

There's more to being a main eventer than being a good worker, though. We've seen that way too many times, especially on the main roster with where the likes of Sami Zayn and Cesaro are.

That's a problem with raw and wwe booking. Not zayn and Cesaro.

I actually like Sanity. It's silly but it's that perfect piece of wrestling silliness. I wish their music had a harder edge to it though. I like the idea of making it sound disjointed but I feel like it's missing something.

In this day and age it's not hard to imagine there are workers who can be over without actually being a draw in and of themselves (e.g. "Chant over"). The WWE doesn't want over dudes who don't draw, they want draws even if they're not over (see: workers kids love and older fans bellyache about)

The problem with this though is that while the hardcore fans have generally stayed with it. We are getting to a point where we are starting to see the older fans leave. There are a ton of other companies that are catering to the hardcore fan. Wwe just targeting kids and parents is great for the short term but usually those kids will be getting older and getting into something else.
