How is Cien's English on a scale of Nakamura to Yoshi Tatsu? Part of the problem is he doesn't speak, which I can accept in a masked luchador but it seems really weird for an unmasked guy.

i like that nikki cross is in sanity because i liked her the couple times they had her on the show before hand and its good they're giving her something to work with, but i just can't shake the feeling that the whole gimmick feels very TNA

hell of a better women's angle than billie kay and, uh, the other one with the "Australian Bitches" act though.

Nikki/Asuka is an interesting tease. If they really want to make Sanity a thing, and they have a woman in the group, having her chase the women's title makes a lot of sense in trying to consolidate their power. We know Nikki is a good wrestler, and playing up the feral psychopath opens up a lot of story possibilities for a match with Asuka, like something she's never had to prepare for before.

I saw Steve Cutler at the NXT house show in St Augustine last night, he's incorporating a hatred of immigrants and calling 'civilians' in the front row cowards for not serving. They always say the best characters are extensions of yourself, and Cutler loving kills doing this. Maybe it works more because of all the national guard stuff around the Armory, but man he oozes 100% scumbag with this angle. Love it

I don't get where they're taking the Billie Kay injury thing.

i kept thinking peyton was gonna turn on her for not winning for them or something, i dunno, just kinda did... nothing.

that crowd though, hoo boy. i assume next week was taped at the same show. maybe they'll liven up a little more if there's not half un-matches (and almas beating up the tinyboy from hong kong) but that's the least-engaged nxt crowd i've ever seen.

i checked out a little after takeover, aside from watching a few clips, it looks like ember moon has a few more spots besides a sick-rear end finisher, which is nice, and i like that ddt that almas did, even if it doesn't really play to his strengths. still looked awesome. chrissius hono and bobby roode oughta be good, i guess. i mean, bobby roode is good enough for a really good wrestler to make a fine match? whatever.

Yeah this NXT crowd is loving terrible. How many episodes are we getting them for?

i hope its not for more than one more week, trying to build to takeover with a crowd that feels like it's as papered as an average impact taping is gonna be ROUGH.

i think it'll be only one more week though, they brought out about half the talent that'd be marketable at this show, next week is gonna be ohno/roode, diy will probably be in it, maybe asuka mercing some jobber lady, and, uhhh, the drifter and oney lorcan, i dunno, i don't read spoilers.

if i were to guess for the takeover main event, since they were stressing nakamura's rematch tonight, ohno wins next week, two weeks of tapings set up nakamura and roode both wanting their rematch at takeover, REEEEEGAALL, triple threat at takeover, one of roode or ohno wins so shinsuke can finally go to the main roster.

Nikki really made things happen for herself the 18 months or so before she was signed. I've never encountered someone who concurrently improved their game across the board so quickly: her body, in ring and character work. Usually someone focuses on one of those but shuns the rest. That's a human impulse but Nikki was really determined.

oh yeah i mean nikki cross rules and im glad she's getting a spotlight on her but macy estrella or whatever her name was was like 6'0" and jacked like lady jobbers usually arent.

also lmao i mean im glad baroness is getting some money for wwe using their song, but that album's like two years old, i thought that sort of thing was for pumping up poo poo that just came out. the first band with the glam rock singer, hoooooly poo poo that was bad.

man ohno's dreamteam outfit rules a lot. sorry, just got home to watch now.

nothing, nikki cross owns a lot and it's great that sanity is a vehicle for her because the alternate would be a vehicle for eric young and, bleh, eric young

god drat aleister black just looks so awesome.

may the dark lord bless wwe for just letting him do him. i mean the left hand magick tattoo kinda demands it.

e: two things

1) between nakamura's goodbye promo and him on talk is jericho, he can speak in english at length to a degree that's pretty impressive since japanese and english are about as foreign as languages get. i just hope they let him actually get some mic time on smackdown, cause i mean, they let baron corbin do promos and he's terrible at delivering scripted lines.

2) did drew mcintyre just get a lot better outside of wwe or something? i can't figure out why he got the jobberino role for his first run, he's tall, well built, can speak pretty well, and looked really fluid in the ring. like, i get why jinder was heath's lackey but not so much drew.

You joke, but might not be that far off. Remember, Tye spent years as a throwaway jobber. He started being the "Perfect 10" as an arrogant heel gimmick, which meant he lost all the time. That accidentally got over, which accidentally turned Tye face, and then he lost every match as a plucky underdog.

So yeah, without looking, I could probably count Tye's televised NXT wins on one hand.

i wasn't joking though, tye's had, what, two matches on smackdown now, both wins? i started watching nxt last year when nakamura debuted (honestly he got me back into wrestling so i watched nxt more than anything for at least half a year) and tye was the top jobber for almost the entire year without having any wins over lower developmental guys. i only remember him getting a couple wins before his match with bobby roode because that's when he finally got a finisher - aj's transitional move, but hey - and even after that he lost pretty consistently with the sanity feud.

i mean, honestly it's awesome and a credit to how he's gotten over with the crowd that he's a hot new face on the main roster and getting the wins-matches-on-tv-consistently run after spending a long long time being a total loser in nxt.

tye dillinger made himself into what wwe wants sami zayn to be, which is kind of incredible considering their backgrounds and skill levels.
