I like the simple names they gave to the Authors of Pain.

I was hoping they'd get names that were pain-related puns of famous authors, but I was having a hard time coming up with good ones so I don't blame creative for taking the easy way out.

Rudyard Krippling and Thomas Painchon

That's what I'm talking about. The best I could do was Mark Pain and J.K. Brawling.

Oh hey, I saw Leah Von Dutch against SDR at a Chikara show somewhere in the middle of nowhere Ontario. Good job Leah!

Man Ember Moon's finisher is going to ruin her hips.

I dunno, maybe it's all coincidental and there are women in prominent positions in WWE now who haven't afaik (Sasha, Becky, Bayley), but it still strikes me as pretty skeevy.

I'm pretty sure Sasha disappeared and came back looking different before her NXT push too. It's one of many unfortunate aspects of the business.

Wait is that Rachel Ellering? Why not use her name?

They used her real name in her first match too. It's dumb like fake boobs.

Jeez, Paul Ellering looks great for 63 years old.

I kind of dig the AoP theme. Basic but effective!

I already like Daria more than Killer Frost & Poison Ivy.

I forgot there was a wrestler named Daria and was hoping for an MTV Daria gimmick. Maybe Veda Scott?

All I could think during that Roode/Nakamura promo video was "there's no way Bobby can afford that house in Toronto."

I'm surprised they'd let anyone do a piledriver variation at all, tbh.

It probably wouldn't be appropriate for such a serious vampire character, but "can't figure out a finisher that doesn't get banned" would make a fun comedy gimmick for a bit.

I thought he would turn up you'd google "fat fan nxt red shirt", but no result of him. Instead one of the first results is for Chris Hero in an Atlanta Hawks jersey.

First result for "fattest NXT fan."

That Ember Moon promo was pretty bad. The contacts are ridiculous and her heavy breathing idle animation stance was silly too. Should be a good match though!

Sullivan's face looks like a beefier Baron Corbin from some angles and it was weirding me out.

....I missed him. What did he do?

Just hanging out in backstage shots this week in NXT and multiple times in recent weeks on 205 Live.

It's probably not going anywhere as I think he's on the writing staff, but he'd make a good heel manager or tall comedy cruiserweight.
