This was the best TM61 has looked yet. I think it was the first match of theirs that I really enjoyed. They're just so bland right now, but who knows - Blake & Murphy and The Revival were wallowing in obscurity until they won the titles too.

I've always loved The Revival, though, even when they only showed up like once a month.

Any word on how many women will be in the tournament? It'd be nice to see them try to find 32 women to keep it on par with the CWC.

Andrade should look to Hunico for inspiration on how to be a rudo in WWE. At least he has killer music.

Mandy Rose already significantly better than Eva Marie

Is there a reason outside of her look that she gets associated with Eva? Do they have a history? I do it too, but I think I'm just being superficial.

Tournament also looks like another quick way to give DIY a win over The Revival without the titles on the line.

It seemed like Clark did something during his entrance that didn't fly with WWE. The camera stayed on Swann's reaction while Clark was on the apron and there was an audible reaction from the crowd. What did he dooooo??

If they're going to add incentives to the network then they need to offer account sharing or at least the ability to run two streams simultaneously over the same network.

I know it's super early into their run, but Sanity isn't really doing anything for me at all

Same, and I wish they were. I can't put my finger on what's not clicking for me. Is it too cheesy? Are they trying too hard to be "crazy" characters? I like the entrance and the gear and everything - I really love the way they appear on the ramp in a group like that.

Maybe they're still finding their voice.

Any reason they didn't use "Crazy" Mary Dobson in Sanity instead? Was she not signed in time? I assume if they needed a crazy lady for the crazy group why not go with the one who has been doing a crazy gimmick already?

Yeah, it's crazy because that kick doesn't look hard or botched at all. He just kinda puts his boot up. Crazy that much damage came from it.

The weekly show has been missing something lately. I'm not sure where it started getting less exciting for me. It used to be that I would make sure I tuned in at 8pm on the dot to see the show - now, some nights, if I miss the show completely I don't rush to catch back up on it.

I feel like a lot of it probably has to do with calling up all of the established women basically at once (minus Bayley). Some weeks just feel like such filler episodes with nothing of note happening outside of a 10-minute segment with a champion and whatever storyline they're involved in. I do like that NXT has never been afraid to keep champions off of TV for a couple of weeks rather than trying to force everyone into a spot on every episode, but something is definitely falling short at this point. Hopefully they can swing back around and make the show exciting again because the Takeover events are always pretty well on-point.

I really hope they do 32. They can find 32 women to fill the tournament, and doing 16 makes it seem kinda like less of a big deal than the CWC.

The last two weeks have just been Japan and Melbourne which were basically house shows. Right? I haven't watched them yet because they feel like filler for the holidays, but I'll watch them eventually. When the actual weekly show is happening again I'll watch like normal.

I enjoy Graves almost as much as Heenan.

He does a great job at color and he plays that heel persona well. I just want him to have one person that he hates always like Heenan did with Hogan.

He really loving hates The Drifter even though he's a heel. And he loathes DIY. When he hates someone he lays it on REAL heavily and it's pretty fun.

I wonder if Asuka will retain or lose by Cross pinning one of the Aussies. It felt like they wanted to save Asuka vs Ember for the title at Mania, but maybe a triple threat with Cross?

I don't think we'll ever get a solid replacement for Corey Graves. He's like Heenan or Ventura for this generation. I'm not saying he's entirely on their level, but he does the heel(-ish) commentary really well, is super quick, and even puts over babyfaces when they prove him wrong in the ring. I feel like we haven't had a good heel commentator like Graves in ages, and I don't expect them to just suddenly find another one to fill his void on NXT.

I can't imagine Ember wins the shot next week, because it feels like they'd save Asuka/Ember for Mania weekend. Maybe a Peyton win after turning on Billie?

Who was that sloppy moron woman that did the run in at the end of this weeks NXT?

Parked herself right in the way in one of the corners and made everyone else awkwardly work around her.

I feel like she was in a really tough spot. She came in to even the odds and beat up Nikki but then they also had to make sure the other faces got their final moves in, too. Would have made much more sense if she laid out Nikki and then Sanity retreated.
