NXT SEASON 8 THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

 

Maybe i have missed something along the way, but what exactly is the Ascension's gimmick supposed to be?

I thought at one point it was hinted they were vampires or something...early on.

Not the first stable influenced by White Wolf rpgs. The first thing I thought when I saw the name and video was Mage: The Ascension with a bit of fallen angels slant.

July 31st 2014 NXT episode: Breeze vs. Neville build with Neville getting some revenge on Breeze. Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch I guess Becky is an Irish Lita without the lucha based offense. Good ground work between the two and would be real fun if they got a 15 minute match where the K-Nox got to so what she can really do. Mojo and Bull became a tag team for upcoming tag tournament. Bayley cuts a promo reminding us that she pinned Charlotte and Charlotte tells her bitch you better kept my name out your mouth. Kidd vs. Rose furthers the divide betwixt Nattie and Tyson in NXT/Total Divas.

I don't get this. MGFan and Gregggggggg reviewed these when they actually happened with about a billion words.

Another really good week.

The main event was really great. Tyson Kidd put on another fantastic performance -- "ASK HIM IN IRISH!". Finn Balor was awesome, too. They had a match that was really high-end and wonderful. I hope they have a rematch at some point. I liked the booking. Kidd's at the WWE/NXT relegation zone. This sets up Finn as his equal (at least) immediately. The Ascension vs. Itami/Finn feud has been built up so well. I want to see these four dudes tear each other apart for a good 30 minutes.

 

I'm really excited for Kevin Owens. He looks so different than anyone else.

 

I'm guessing Bayley evens up the odds or what have you in the Charlotte match. Unless they wrote her out for a while with a knee injury.

Kidd has deserved a chance at a run since he can play the cocky douche so well. I really hope he and Breeze team up at some point. They'd go great together. ASK HIM IN IRISH had me dying.

 

A proper brainbuster in the WWE for the first time in forever and the PBP guy calls it a brainbuster suplex? The hell?

 

My problem with the Lucha Dragons is that I know they're capable of things that are a lot better than what I see and I'm not sure who's gonna bring that out of them.

 

The Vaudevillains short film was tremendous.

 

Bring on Kevin Owens.

That Tyson/Nattie promo was really funny. "But I'm putting you over..."

 

And of course the Vaudevillains' silent film was great. It's those kind of things that make you wonder how developmental-level creative guys can make a midcard act really stand out with just one hour of tv a week, but the main roster creative powers can't do anything for anybody with 5 hours a week (7 if you include the jobber shows).

The Vaudevillans short film was the greatest. Encore.

 

The crowd doing the Peter Griffin 'ouch' chant when Bailey was selling her knee was brilliant too.

 

THANK YOU.

 

I was wondering what the fans were chanting to during that segment, it is so obvious now you point it out. Wasn't completely into it which is why I missed the reference.

I think Marcus Louis might be my least favorite act in the entire WWE right now.

This entire storyline with his hair has been going on for far too long. Is this leading to anything? I can't imagine to what. Is it supposed to be funny? If it is, it isn't.

Because, as far as I can tell, NXT creative are "wrestling people" as opposed to Hollywood people.

Did Tyson Kidd refuse to hug his wife.....TO FACETIME WITH HIS CATS?!?!? 

 

Douchbag Level: Maximum 

 

If I was married to Natalya, I would infinitely prefer time with the cats.

The Vaudevillains are supposed to be heels, but they are WAY too charming for me. That short is definitely my favorite skit on WWE television all year.

 

This might sound crazy, but I'm sensing a Bayley turn coming up.

August 7th 2014 NXT episode: Bayley vs. Eva Marie if Eva wants to get better she needs to train non-stop at NXT for a full year but I don't think she does so she will continue to be the worst member of the roster and just a cast member of Total Divas. Tyler Breeze decides next week he will face Neville for the NXT title. Rose/Zayn vs. Kidd/Gabriel was a fun match for the 1st round of the tag tournament and Rose/Zayn's 2nd round match should be lots of fun.
