RIPPA Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Clarification - if you are talking match results for TV that hasn't air keep it in spoilers since we don't really have a seperate thread like for say Smackdown The Dark Match stuff doesn't have to be spoiled. I might change things up once I figure out the best way to handle it
Peck Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Carmella copping a 1995 movie's phrase is right up Vince's alley. Baron Corbin kinda looks like Clayton Kershaw.
RIPPA Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Bayley supposedly broke her arm though has been working with a cast on. So Bayley doing a Bob Orton gimmick would be amazing EDIT 2
The Nature Boy Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Carmella copping a 1995 movie's phrase is right up Vince's alley. Baron Corbin kinda looks like Clayton Kershaw. I'm just hoping it leads to the return of Zeus as Carmella's muscle when they bring her up to the main roster. 2
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Bailey doing a face version of the Orton gimmick where she keeps the cast to gain sympathy for more hugs.
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Or... Have Bayley get a bear hug submission finisher that's enhanced by the cast.
SorceressKnight Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Despoilered from Rippa's claim: in the dark match for NXT TV tapings tonght it is Uhaa Nation (not sure what they are calling him) vs Johnny Gargano of all people. I know he was one of the people in the last tryout so hopefully he gets a chance. Surprising if it was- I thought the line going around from the last tryout is he was the biggest name to really flame out in the exercises with questions about his cardio. Really? Hasn't he had some pretty long matches in DGUSA/EVOLVE without apparent difficulty? I know, but apparently from the tryouts, the line was Gargano did poorly in some exercise sequence there. Not 100% about it- and if he's working a dark match that likely says it was nothing- but that's just what I had heard before. And as for the Bayley injury- please say this leads to the next few weeks of tapings having her going around asking everyone- face, heel, staff member, fans in the stands- to sign her cast.
Ramsey Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 According to my 14 year old daughter, "Bye Felicia" is back and a current "thing" among those in the know. I'm 42 on Monday. Without kids, I'd know fuck all about anything. 1
mco543 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 In my mind it was Keith Olbermann who brought it back. 1
Brian Fowler Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I don't see anyway to get there logically and quickly, but I'd have zero problem with Big Cass being the guy to beat KO. Provided Enzo sticks around to keep the act going.
odessasteps Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Carmella trying so desperately to get "By Felicia" over that she said it twice because nobody popped the first time was "Bischoff making scissors jokes" level sad. Too many people watching Olbermanns show.
Big Fresh Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 In my mind it was Keith Olbermann who brought it back. He's the reason I always feel alittle sick to my stomach whenever I hear someone say it.
Brysynner Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I don't see anyway to get there logically and quickly, but I'd have zero problem with Big Cass being the guy to beat KO. Provided Enzo sticks around to keep the act going. Wouldn't the quickest way be have KO beat Demon Balor in Japan, mock Enzo and Cass for continuing to fail to get gold back in the States, Enzo/Cass/Carmella come out, Owens cuts them off, Enzo runs in and gets immediately powerbombed. Cass challenges Owens to stick up for his buddy, Owens agrees, Cass says like Owens he's a prize fighter, Owens laughs and agrees to the match for the NXT Title, Cass wins in an "upset" because Owens was too cocky to notice the fact that Big Cass has been reguluarly take out the tag champs himself, it's been due to Carmella or Enzo being attacked that they lost. And since Owens has no backup, he has no way to distract Cass.
Bill S. Preston ESQ. Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 It's obvious they have a lot invested in Balor, but him as NXT champ does nothing for me. I don't see any interesting heels lined up for him either. Rhino. Balor as babyface champ until Hideo is healthy: then it's revealed Balor injured Hideo to steal his big moment in Tokyo. Save that idea for Shinsuke Nakamura or an AJ Styles/Young Bucks version of Bullet Club
Valcourt Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 That 30 seconds gave Balor more personality than his whole time in NXT. And, what the hell, Blue Pants is uber over. Was the plan for her all along as Blue Pants or did they just latch onto it? Why the hell didn't they give Samoa Joe the music from the promo package? She wrestles a TON in Florida, so I imagine the crowd at NXT are very familiar with her work. Doesn't hurt that she's got pretty darn good Charisma as well, and is super cute.
TerjeRUN Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Anyone else majorly underwhelmed with Samoa Joe thus far? And it can't all be down to the theme music...
Go2Sleep Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I've enjoyed Joe in NXT, but I didn't set my expectations real high. It's not 2005 and you can see the miles on his body are catching up to him, but he's been solid on the mic and showing a lot of effort in the ring even if the cardio isn't there anymore. The first few minutes of the Owens match was really good, but it looked like he was totally blown up by the time the show-ending brawl came around. If he can get some conditioning back, I think he could be a really good as a featured guy.
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 BTW - Bayley did confirm on Twitter that it is a broken hand And she has been picking out little girls at the NXT house shows to sign it. 3
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 So to paraphrase Matt again - the WWE has a license to print money marketing some of these women. They just have to pull the trigger 1
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 So to paraphrase Matt again - the WWE has a license to print money marketing some of these women. They just have to pull the trigger I have zero faith in the WWE's marketing of women. It's been years of failure. 2
odessasteps Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Bayley will be first person in wrestling history not to use her cast as a weapon.
nofuture Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Hopefully they'll pull a Rookie of the Year and give her extra super hugging strength when she gets the cast off. 4
Hail Sabin Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Maybe after it heals it will give her a vice grip and she will start using the Iron Claw. 2
