NXT is real good and worth my :10bux: each month.

I feel like it's worth pointing out here as I have before (I think it was the first subtitle of the last thread) that if anyone reading this is considering canceling the Network, all of NXT, including TakeOvers, is on Hulu unedited. May be worth waiting until after the CWC though :v:

Possible he's working, no?

Meltzer said with pretty much 100% confidence that it's a work, yeah, but I hope he's not off TV with a worked injury for too long

still really hate them using a thrown X and a sudden camera cut for a worked injury, but I definitely prefer it to Joe actually being injured

Who do you guys think is the next NXT call up, guys?

mmm when I look at the rosters, I feel like the needs of the rosters aren't really met by what NXT has. Both shows could use more women, but I don't think there's anyone ready unless they just decide to elevate random house show/undercard people like they did Braun.

There's plenty of NXT undercard mainstays they could bring up as jobbers, but they don't have a need for more jobbers. Maybe they send Rich Swann up quick to fill up the Cruiserweight division?

SomeMathGuy posted:

So speaking as someone who doesn't usually watch weekly NXT - since you can watch TakeOver on the Network and on Hulu, who exactly needs these recaps?

the wrestlers, who do not want to do another round of taping two days after a massive event, and the production team, who do not want to edit together an episode in 24 hours

SomeMathGuy posted:

That does make sense, and I guess just putting more dark matches on the TakeOver card to try and fill the episode would run the risk of exhausting the live crowd.

they don't have a big enough TV-ready roster for this, I think. they pit jobbers v jobbers if they wanted but then it'd look and sound like an empty arena match and that doesn't help anyone :v:

I also love all the promos/interviews on this so I can deal with the recaps

Dear NXT,

Today I went into the Performance Center and had to clean out my locker. After almost 4 years with NXT, it's time for me to step away and the new crop of women to step up. I am so confident in the division and know we will see it be taken to newer heights.

I've seen FCW shows grow from 12 people in the crowd to NXT payperviews with 15,000 in Brooklyn. NXT is my life, it's everything I am, everything I've ever wanted in wrestling. The roster, the coaches, our bosses, our fans. All of it is everything I've ever wanted. I couldn't have dreamt up a better journey, and I couldn't have asked for better support and love that all of you have embraced me with.

I love this industry with all of my heart but I mean this when I say it, I would not be able to do the things I've done without you guys. You fans match our passion. With everything we give you in the ring, you give us right back as fans. And that's what makes NXT special, and that's what I'll miss most.

I'll miss my NXT family backstage, I'll miss those once in a lifetime moments like doing Finn Balors entrance or teaming with Shinsuke Nakamura or standing in the ring for 10 minutes as you guys sing a song, and I'll miss the proud feeling of being a part of it all.

But I know it will continue. And I will never stop chasing that feeling. I am beyond excited to bring everything you all taught me, to WWE. Thank you for the memories, and as always, WE are NXT.

The near-total focus on Roode in the hype package for Takeover gives you a sense of where Almas is right now.

TBF Roode got massively over with what was basically face heat to an extent I don't think they were expecting

They definitely need to rehab Almas but he's far from like Solomon Crowe levels of dead

guys I loving love NXT

the brawl out of the back into the ring in a single camera shot :psyduck:

steve cutler's facial hair is fuckin horrible

crawford seems alright. couldn't find much out about him except that he had a nasty botch at a house show back in May. I haven't heard of Cutler or Crawford before that match and now I'd be up for seeing them more often, at least?

angelo dawkins still seems pretty bad, oof. at least he has a character, though, I'll give him that

Aliyah's gear is cool as hell and I dig her hella generic music

this episode of NXT had some rough loving wrestling but developmental wrestling can be fun sometimes. I hope they do more to get me invested in these characters, but tbf they're still just getting started with some of the more established dudes like Jose, Aries, and Roode, so I get why they don't want to devote a ton of promo/segment time to the rookies

oh, and I appreciated Nakamura mispronouncing Samoa Joe's name in honor of his hero Scott Steiner

e: dang that Liv promo rovert posted is good if generic, put that on TV

I got tickets for the Theater at MSG house show but then my buddy decided he didn't want to pay $100 for a seat, so we're thinking of just getting tickets 4 hours beforehand on stubhub or something.

I really wanted ringside seats but they're quite expensive.

what the gently caress, how did I not hear about this show until now?

ringside seats are the same price as the lower seating; I would have totally gotten a ringside ticket if they were still available :(

ugh, I guess I just won't go to this, it's really pricey and I don't think it's worth it to see wrestling in a venue like that. it's too big to be a fun intimate show but too small to feel like a big event. definitely woulda gone if I could have gotten a ringside seat, or even the front of the 100 section, but the front of the 200/back of the 100 seats that are available for $130 just don't seem worth it at all...
