I think Tye needs to be called up, or at least given a mini push on NXT tv first

I've honestly been finding the current month or so of NXT pretty fun and watchable. Mid 2016 was probably the creative lowpoint with the Joe/Finn forever feuding and a load of people just waiting to shuffle out the door through the draft, but now they're actually developing the women and stuff like Almas/Cedric and the Joe/Regal angle has been quality. And now we have the tag classic starting up again, which made Revival/AA the first time round.

Is ZZ still with them? Mandy 'hired explicitly for Total Divas' Rose being the only one to get good enough in ring to even make NXT tv is pretty funny.

Benne posted:If they have to keep the stupid rematch clause, they should do it on the first TV episode after the Takeover. Just get it over with and get some new contenders in the mix, and oh hey your champ is actually wrestling on TV and you have a quality main event to promote. Instead, they just book the rematch for the next Takeover and everybody's gotta spend another 2-3 months with their thumbs up their asses. The problem with doing the rematch the next night is it becomes a foregone conclusion, jut like it does on RAW when they rematch half the PPV card every time. Rematches should be a big deal, built to properly and the outcome sold as unknown, the problem is having 4 month gaps between them.

I watched NXT, it was fine if clearly the result of taping a house show. I like whatever this Peyton/Billie pissing off the whole womens locker room thing is turning into and I wish they would give some promo/backstage time/any character at all to guys like Lorcan & Strong. Damo is a hairy scary fat man. Thanks NXT for making sure that Bull Dempsey will not be missed.

Shine posted:I want very badly for Tye to be #10 at the Rumble, and for him to at some point get a bullshit win in a non-title match against the NXT champion via the most cheered count-out in wrestling history. They can do whatever they want with him at that point; just let those two moments happen.

I assume the tournament won't actually have main roster women in it (possibly not current NXT talent either?), and that's just a publicity photo, cause that would seriously limit their ability to showcase new talent without putting them over all their current workers.

The_Rob posted:Even though NXT has been pretty good recently, they went through a long time of being pretty mediocre, and not having that same brand recognition as wwe means that if fans leave the product they are likely gone for good. Yeah without a big 4 PPV alongside it to bring in the hardcore and overseas fans the damage Nxt took from the brand split roster gutting and general creative stagnation in 2016 is going to take a little while to turn numbers around. See: people having to be begged to watch the weekly shows again despite them being v. good lately.

freud mayweather posted:I enjoyed Roode and Itami calling back to the finish of Roode/Nakamura 1, to the point where I bought the near fall so hard I yelled "fuckin bullshit" like the Iron Sheik. Then Itami kicked out of Roode's finisher and boy did I have egg on my face. Great match. I liked Roode getting his karmic payback for working Nakamura's bad leg two matches in a row when he got his shoulder rammed into the post (with appropriate theatric 'OH GOD' sell)and Itami started attacking it right back. Bobby roode is really good, you guys.

Gaz-L posted:You don't see how saying "Yeah, this chicks are all losers that aren't good enough to beat the champion so she's going to vacate so the crap tier girls get a chance" kills the division? Like, it may even be true but you're supposed to pretend that your challengers are somewhat credible. They do have an out to this if they do it before the Mae Young Classic women get put into NXt or whatever they plan to do with them after, and can build the division around them competing for the vacant belt without treating them as obviously inferior to Asuka.

Nikki Cross isn't on Asuka's level and had like 4 matches total before her title match. They made the right call.Wazzu posted:The fans don't hate Asuka, they don't want her to lose, nobody is in her league, they want Asuka to win forever. Or at least don't want her to lose in NXT. Yes, this.

Yeah I'm fine with a transitional undeserving heel reign to buffer the Joshi supremacy reigns a little, and Peyton's a solid talker with a good look and will be able to have a decent match with the workrate stars. Nikki would be fine too but seems to be in like 3 storylines already and turning face.

Just watch every takeover you missed, they're all good. And then the weekly show from the last takeover onwards is probably fine.
