JCM Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Cody said that him and Dustin will be at Takeover to present the trophy to the winners of the Dusty tag tourney. I kind of hope Cass and Enzo win just for the post match speech. That followed by Sasha and Bayley main eventing is going to be amazing. The fact that NXT makes me care is the best part about it. Yeah 5 star matches are nice, but to actually care about the performers and the storylines they're involved in is the best part about being a wrestling fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically great "work rate" matches with no soul do nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Please please please let the Rhodes Brothers reunite and jump the winners. That would be such a cool NXT story arch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 No shit. Yes, I want to see Asuka beat Eva - in a pro wrestling sense, for a championship to send the crowd home happy. Who the hell actually wants to see a woman get legitimately injured? You'd be surprised. Some folks wanted Lesnar to shoot on Reigns at WM. And went into graphic detail in their desires.

Skeeball Wizard Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'd rather see the dumb dog on NXT than Eva. A dog has personality James Personality goes a long way. Seeing Eva's match this week reminded me of a quote from Friends when Phoebe was acting as Joey's agent; "They said you aren't believable as a human being." If it is eventually revealed that her gimmick is that she is either a robot or alien attempting to replicate the behavior of a human, I will pop huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah, you Eva haters are getting Reddit/Cageside Seats-level obsessive about it, and it is beginning to permeate my glorious little respite thread from the shit in pro wrestling, the NXT thread. Come on, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Why would you do such a thing? I would have to check the date it came out but I think I was 15-16 at the time. I bought a lot of music back then. Some of it was awesome. Some of it was so terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 turk128, I don't know what to tell you. If we were talking RAW/SD! I would have zero faith in the booking but NXT has been on fire for a long time. I think they will use Asuka correctly and she'll do very well there. No worries here, I was just poking fun at the hyperbole from the previous pages, "This is WWE...." EDIT: I have an endless font of positivity when it comes to NXT. Also, they've shown time and time again that when something doesn't get a reaction, it gets quickly tweaked or even repackaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan and Gable winning it, and disrespecting Cody and Dustin afterwards to set up a match between them works for me. Dustin in NXT working with those two and people like Corbin and Crews would be awesome for those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 No no no no NO! You people have it all wrong. Have Enzo & Cass win it and as the Rhodes boys present them with the trophy THE STUD STABLE JUMPS EVERYONE! This would be followed by a long rambling Terry Funk promo about Dusty being an egg suckin dawg and then we finally get War Games in NXT!

MORELOCK Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 All this yammering about Eva in this thread = All the yammering about Dana Brooke in this thread a couple of months ago. And pretty much everyone has shut up about Dana Brooke and decided to allow her room to develop on the developmental show. Which she has. Can't wait for people to grant Eva Marie the same courtesy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Given what people now expect on NXT, WWE should really reopen FCW as a lower developmental league and just them tour locally in Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really need to change anything. Just look at the lineups from this weekends Florida houseshows. They're mostly made up of non-TV people, with a couple of bigger matches to end the show and send the people home happy. They might consider renaming these shows to differentiate them from the touring NXT shows, otherwise they're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And pretty much everyone has shut up about Dana Brooke and decided to allow her room to develop on the developmental show. Which she has. Can't wait for people to grant Eva Marie the same courtesy. Dana, as robotic as she is, at least has always had an air of confidence and natural athleticism. Eva does not have either of those. She's irritating but I'm not going to go on and on about her either way. The criticism can go over the top, but I certainly can't fault wrestling fans for being disappointed by her continued presence on TV when she's awful in every regard and isn't even in the "developmental TV" territory of decent. And let's not pretend that Dana is even at the competent level yet. It certainly seemed like it was on her that the 4-way match in Brooklyn was on her not breaking up the pin. She's definitely gotten better but still has a very long way to go. The tag division is set-up really well with Enzo and Cass and their seemingly custom made foils Jordan and Gable. It's a shame that it's unlikely we'll get to see that match in the tournament, as it would have to be the final. That is unless they either have Joe turn on Balor or start it with some miscommunication leading to an Enzo/Cass win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can teach people how to work on TV (which is a skill) without subjecting them to the pressure of the NXT fanbase. NXT sold out an arena in New York, they're outperforming what a standard developmental territory should be but yet there are numerous examples of talent who NEED a traditional developmental structure.
