Joe Gacy beat Sean Spears on the NXT pre-show.

Current Wrestlemania weekend record: AEW stands 0-1.

Not blaming the wrestlers but I really really hate how unauthentic and inorganic emotions look in WWE matches. The heel kicks out at 2 and the babyface has to be on his knees shaking like “oh my god I can’t beat him :gonk:” or when a heel is getting heat and the camera mics catch him yelling “give up! Give up! It’s MY time!” or whatever. I like that stuff in matches when it feels believable or makes sense, but it’s clear that NXT agents tell every wrestler to do that in every match and it’s grating.

It’s like they are wrestling AI that’s trained on other matches.

Fed crowds are bizarre. They’ll be loud for every entrance then dead for every match.

I dunno, they seem pretty hot to me. But it's also been a really good match too.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
Holy crap! Oba Femi vs. Dijak vs. Josh Briggs has been my match of the weekend so far.

They were at the Smackdown/HOF tapings until almost 1 AM last night, with the main guy they were excited for be inducted at 10:30. The rest of that show really dragged at points, especially since they ended the night with Patterson with Rock's grandmother headlining. Not exactly going out on a high note.

i mean i imagine most of the crowd left after said guy talked at 10:30pm, they did that on purpose

mostly i assume this is a crowd with a lot of people who don't know much about current nxt (same!) kinda trying to figure out in real time what everyone's big spots are and who they're supposed to root for. and also were forced to watch baron corbin, which is never good.

Did Knuckles have a former run in NXT? I wonder if he's the former NXT person in the crowed they were teasing.

It's either Knuckles or MJP prolly.

edit: i wish AEW had gotten Roxanne Perez.

There was always the time they showed Kota on camera at NXT Takeover and then he noped out of there. But maybe they learned their lesson from that

I'm not a fan of advertising but if it's going to be Knuckles hanging out behind the announce table and Vault Boy on the outside mats during the FALLOUT NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP match I guess it's not so bad.

Last I heard Tony wasn't interested, which is nuts imo.

Giulia has been confirmed for WWE for what feels like a year now.

She's supposedly staying to help Rossy launch and then head over in the fall.

They think the Trick Williams vs Carmelo Hayes match is hotter so Tony D is just padding like a Summerslam or Survivor Series title challenger

not sure if it scratched Gentlemen's 2
