real question, outside of Joe in a rematch, who do does everyone see being able to beat Nakamura for the NXT title that's either on the NXT roster or rumored to come in? I'm having trouble seeing who could with how everyone's been booked up to this.

She's really annoying and unpleasant

Didn't her agent do a big tell blog all about how before she started he got her tons of plastic surgery and that it was a massively scummy story?

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

I think if the arena has a large screen suspended in the center of the building, those videos play on there because the tron's new shape doesn't work well with the video aspect ratios.

surprised that a kick like that caused so much damage, didn't seem like it was firing off that fast. poo poo happens though. I mean, AJ legit knife-edge punched the teeth out of Miz's loving head and nobody gave him poo poo for it. if anything he put Miz over for not giving a gently caress and hanging tough.

the thing is, Aries is moving into it, and the height of the kick was just right that it looks like Nakamura's heel catches him right in the soft bit under the eye. As someone who once turned around and caught a cabinet door's corner right to my upper eye and brow, I can't even imagine how much it must suck to be Aries right now. Everything around the eye just swells up like a mother fucker, and I'm betting he broke his orbital bone. Hopefully it didn't damage the optic nerve or cornea, but if Aries just became Roddy's manager for a while and wore a big, dumb, sparkly eyepatch, I'd be down.

Corey burying the Drifter at any chance he gets is one of my favorite things on NXT

i still think his best moment this year was during the CWC when going over the brackets for the first time, got the gargano and chiampa match, and said, "And I hope they some how both lose," out of nowhere..

But to be fair, Chris Hero is a pretty dumb name itself.

True, but Kassius Ohno has such a weird feel to it to even say. I just think it's also just a weird name for a big chubby guy who elbows people to death. Like Oney Lorcan, it feels like a name from Star Wars rather than from wrestling.

If it means it gets Guevara off shows in Austin, I'm cool with it. I'd rather see Ricky Starks or Aaron Solow get an actual deal out of the Texas talent, but seeing him go and being on the undercard forever would be the best outcome.

The biggest new name is: https://twitter.com/badboicasey/status/827964139633049601

He's tight with Bayley and Sasha's social circle.

He and Aaron Solow have a tag team as well, and he's always on most of the cards in Austin. Pretty cool dude, and I bought his shirt because it looks the least like an identifiable wrestling shirt. He jobbed to Kane on an episode of Main Event/Superstars from the Austin taping back in August. He also took a nasty bump to the floor on an episode of NXT that I can't remember that well, might've been against The Revival as a jobber team.

i just want them to do that on television, and it gets longer and longer each time, until it culminates in five straight minutes of shoulder twerking while the camera pulls in closer and closer on his expressionless face while the music turns to a tinnitus sound

I want to like Patrick Clarks gimmick but I feel like there is no commitment from him. It doesn't seem like he believes anything he is doing. He is just being generic flamboyant guy. Even his tights are just black. Dude needs something a bit more.

If Peyton is going to be Champion, she needs a better theme.

https://youtu.be/l8ca54qrUnM

I mean, this is fine for a midcard heel, but a champion needs something a bit tougher.

So, what does that mean for Asuka, then? I assume she's going up, as there's nothing much left for her to do in NXT, besides fight some of the indie favorites.

Asuka still has to break Goldberg's streak before she loses to Ember. I figure she's not up until either after Summerslam or Survivor Series. I can completely see them sending Billy, Peyton, and Liv up after Mania, though.

i can't help but feel like the boot into the ropes followed by the roundhouse kick is a way better finisher than the spinning heel kick for Black while Swann and Mickie are using it. It looked brutal, the bouncing off the ropes is a good set up, like the stunner's kick to the gut, and he can even do the picking the guy up with his foot gimmick before the boot, too.

could be that he had to wait a few months, and go to the tryout to avoid any of the mess they're having with contract tampering accusations, but then again, he was just a member of Decay, and didn't make much of a mark outside of, "PAINT REGENERATE"

i hope asuka's debut isn't just a sudden run in and beat down. i want every woman on raw and smackdown looking over their shoulder. dana brooke should be hurriedly packing a bag and running until she finally debuts, local talent shouldn't show up for nia squashes because they're afraid of someone else debuting and they want to keep their jaws, etc. bliss or whoever is champ on smackdown doesn't believe the rest of them, and then gets their head kicked off for their arrogance and the reign of terror begins anew.
