JonnyLaw Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 How was Sasha/Bayley? Thought it was interesting/random as Sasha noted on facebook that The Undertaker told her it was one of the best divas matches he's seen in awhile. I'd now like to think that Taker spends the 10 months of his offseason every year immersing himself in divas matches, and that he's quite the connoisseur of them. He thinks the Alicia Fox - Melina match is underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I guess we will wait and see but of all the people to work with developmental guys I would think JBL is the last person I want given his history. Hopefully someone tells him that it isn't about him anymore. although I admit if you are going to do a "new new face" of the WWE then a team of JBL/Bo Dallas is the perfect choice. Just hope they don't book the same finishes that they do for Raw and Smackdown and try some originality By the way, did Solomon Crowe (formerly sami Cahilan) do anything on these tapings. It doesn't look like it unless they changed his name again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am caught up on hulu to Jan. 16 of this year and I love the territory feel of Big E. The Shield restart was jarring and killed the bounty angle but Big E and his relationship with the fans reminds me of a guy Vince would poach in 1984-1986.

NikoBaltimore Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Aiden English is fucking amazing. The spotlight/singing gimmick is glorious is many ways. Gah, there's so many awesome talents it's hard to call favorites, but Aiden quickly became one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzombie1988 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 I reviewed NXT 9/18/2013 here:http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/wwe-nxt-9182013-results-and-review.htmlOverall thoughts: Another fun edition of NXT. Two good matches here and a good Bo Dallas segment. I was also glad to see Aiden English finally get a chance to have a character. Check it out!Some shots from the show: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I tried to start watching NXT with the first show of 2013 but quickly realized that it would take longer than I want to catch up. Starting any time after Wrestlemania, is there an episode that would make a better starting point than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I didn't finish watching the show yet and I have a whole eight man to go. But the Sami match was again really good. I would say he's one of the five best workers in the company right now but there's Randy/Bryan/Shield/Claudio so that's a ridiculously hard list to crack. But he's a star.The Bo promo was amazing. His character is just flat-out brilliant right now. They did a slow, subtle burn with it before he started acting like this. I love the thought of some wrestler just calling random Latin American voicemail systems and singing Journey. I wish this was real.The Aiden segment was a star-making segment if there ever was one. He sang a made-up showtune on the way to the ring. That is pretty spectacular. "Spotlight, please!" "Take A Bow!" Hopefully his in-ring work against actual wrestlers holds up. I think he'd be a really great lackey for Damien Sandow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ordinarily I wouldn't be in favor of a wrestler shaving his head, but in Aiden's case, I'd definitely make an exception. Michael Elgin is another case, incidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Mark Henry's look would be improved by shaving the dome too, it's actually pretty amazing that he looks so intimidating with the raggedy ann hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiguchi Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Sami Zayn has the best loopy selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 His sell after the kick where he slowly went down while still trying to maybe cover Hawkins was sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseCannon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If Bo Dallas got moved permanently to the main roster, could they keep his character intact or would they have to start over and give him a push as a bland babyface who the crowds will hate before turning him?

rovert Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Liked this episode too. However it really underscored the handicap the lack of a brand spilt presents to introducing NXT talent. Not a definitive list but I feel the following talent run against each other too much: Daniel Bryan vs Sami Zayn Fandango vs Tyler Breeze Wyatt Family vs Ascension Damien Sandow vs Aiden English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding? With the hair he looks like a bulked up Predator. They should give him the helmet and a trophy room of alien species that got their wigs split. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a definitive list but I feel the following talent run against each other too much: Daniel Bryan vs Sami Zayn Fandango vs Tyler Breeze Wyatt Family vs Ascension Damien Sandow vs Aiden English Fandango and Tyler Breeze can become a womanizing (but possibly closet) team. If you want to get really into it, a feud with the PTP where Darren Young becomes a role model for "comingout" could get some press. God. Stop.

Greggulator Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What day(s) is this on? Any main storylines that I need to know? Main guys? NXT pops up on Hulu sometimes on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.As of now, here is a list of the main people on the roster. BO DALLAS -- Bo's the current NXT Champion. He's a long-haired goof. They originally cast him as a Cena-like hero for all. However, everyone crapped on him because he was so terrible. They just tweaked him where he's essentially the same persona, but with a tinge of sanctimony and self-obsession, and he's now this really good heel.SAMI ZAYN -- Sami's formerly known as El Generico. He's a very nice person who is into pop-punk and ska. That's his gimmick. He's a good person. He's really courteous (and a bit flirtations) with Renee Young, who does backstage interviews on both Raw and NXT. Sami recently had a killer series of matches with the We The People group. His match with Cesaro got legit Match Of The Year hype (not as good as the SummerSlam matches but still REALLY good) and his match with Jack Swagger was great as well. He's currently stepping up against Bo Dallas. Bo claims to be Sami's "mentor" and is totally delusional about their relationship. ADRIAN NEVILLE/COREY GRAVES -- Neville was previously known as Pac. They're a forced tag team that currently have the belts. I kind of hate them both. Neville has a lot of great moves but is sort of a snooze. Corey Graves is a punk rock type who is a total snooze.THE ASCENSION -- Rik VIctor and Conor O'Brien. They have some vague, undefined supernatural gimmick. They have some big power moves but are largely UGH.TYLER BREEZE -- A fashion model character who takes selfie pictures of himself on his cell phone non-stop. He's awesome. AIDEN ENGLISH -- NXT jobber who just started getting a push. The only real artiste in professional wrestling who sings showtunes on his way to the ring. CJ PARKER -- Goofy 60s relic hippie. XAVIER WOODS -- 90s obsessed black dude who is also getting a PhD and has two master's degrees. Sort of a really confusing character. LEO KRUGER -- South African hunter of men. He wrestles really well as his character. THE LEGIONAIIRES -- Sylvester LaFort is their manager. He's a scumbag French guy obsessed with MAKING ZE MONEY. His first charge is Scott Dawson, a redneck trailer trash guy. The latest addition to his stable is Alexander Rusev, aka The Bulgarian Beast. Rusev is on his path to being awesome.PAIGE -- Current NXT Diva's champ. She's "The Anti-Diva." She's pale-skinned with dark hair and a bunch of piercings. She's fierce and rough and a total star on the rise. EMMA -- Goofy Australian who is beyond over with the crowd because of her amazingly dumb dancing. She's also pretty good in the ring, too. Really fun character. BAILEY -- Nerdy, awe-struck diva who has an offense based around hugging her opponents. Very funny character. CHARLOTTE -- Ric Flair's hyper-athletic daughter. SUMMER RAE -- She's Fandango's dance partner. She's a total mean girl. SASHA BANKS -- Newly turned heel diva noted for her terrible acting. There's also some NXT alumni you should familiarize yourself with:THE WYATT FAMILY -- These are the bayou looking dudes who showed up on Raw. They're led by Bray Wyatt, who is a backwoods cult leader who has hinted that he is the Messiah and we have entered into the end of days. His flunkies are Luke Harper (the dude with the black beard who is awesome) and Erik Rowan (the dude in the sheep mask who is still pretty raw). They just got the big promotion to Raw a few weeks before SummerSlam. Until then, they just wreaked havoc and chaos throughout the promotion. Bray's one of the best promo guys in wrestling right now. They're my favorite stable. BIG E. LANGSTON -- He was last scene on the main roster as AJ's best friend/enforcer. He was a face in NXT known for making refs count to 5 after his finish. He has a really interesting, unique charisma and sense of humor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
