mattdangerously Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That bike was cool, but he looked like a dork riding on the back while Camacho steered. I always thought it was a shame Hunico's 21st century, NWO-era Konnan gimmick didn't get more of a shot. He was better doing that than he is as Sin Cara. They're so desperate to get a new Mexican draw, but they never seem to want to push the Mexicans they already have in the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I got to be honest, I don't see a problem with Sin Cara. I like the gimmick and Hunico is solid under the mask. The real Mistico was fucking up on a nightly basis where Hunico is pretty damn smooth 99% of the time. I wouldn't be opposed to a legit Sin Cara mid card title run with the U.S. strap.

Once the bell rings he is fine. But on the intro he just looks so... meh... next to Kallisto. Kallisto comes out like a high flying lucha should. Sin Cara looks like he is going through the motions. There are six Latinos on the roster and five of them work a thinly veiled racist gimmick with two of them(the Lucha Dragons) working a gimmick that reduces Lucha, a celebration of Aztec/Mestizo culture, into finger pointing and mantra-ing the word over and over for your mainstream audience consumption i.e. white non-hispanic while a probably legit racist JBL makes comments about them being deported and such. Yep, I would not be as excited about it either to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was among the class of new signees that was announced in April of this year, but he's the only one of the class with previous wrestling experience that hasn't had any matches yet, not even on house shows AFAIK. Is he injured or was he already released without anyone reporting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 He's probably stuck in rookie classes. I await the Lucha Dragons joining Del Rio and reforming the Mexicools. Lawnmowers and all, so they can follow Dutch to the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Enjoyable stuff with Crews and Baron to start the show. Alexa's cuckolds ate defeat, but It's Bayley! was great. She got the belly to belly on Murphy, had her biggest fan there, and even prevented those evil-doers' cheating! Tag title match wasn't much, but Nia's squash was fun and they're building up something with her being Eva Marie's muscle. The Joe-Balor stuff was a fine way to end the show too. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/11/wwe-nxt-11-11-15.html Screens - It's Booty! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/6ofpsn8s9pvuwrhy03mloggr641boimu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm glad that I stopped playing Fallout 4 for long enough to watch this show because it was super-enjoyable, especially Bayley being a great '80s WWF-style super-face and Dash and Dawson taking apart the Villains. Dash and Dawson are the perfect type of tag team to have across from Enzo/Cass and Jordan/Gable, where the guys who play FIP can garner a ton of sympathy while Dash and Dawson destroy a limb. The Nia Jax squash was fun. Jax helping Eva Marie become champ in London, not so much. The Crews/Corbin and Joe/Bálor angles were hot, too. Really good show.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Take your time, Finn. Take your time. Another great episode. They're setting things up nicely for the women's division moving forward. Alexa Bliss gets her title match next week and Nia Jax is like Sin from Final Fantasy X hovering over everyone, could destroy their world at any time. Speaking of Nia, we also have Eva possibly getting involved like maybe a Million Dollar Man and Andre kind of thing? I don't know. Eva already has possibly a ref in her back pocket maybe she has her Andre too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Are WWE clever enough to book the whole Eva/Jax alliance all the way back on Total Divas when Eva appeared with the Rock at his movie premiere? Probably not, but at least the pairing makes sense. And if we do get a Million Dollar Man Andre thing, which ref gets plastic surgery to look like Drake?

In real life Layfield and Simmons are best friends. Eddie was in Layfield's wedding party as well. See, JBL PLAYED a racist on a TV show years ago. That, and a southern accent doesn't mean he actually is one. Holy fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I like what the did with the women tonight. It feels like they are building to something interesting.

Have to say though it doesn't feel like Bailey will still be champ at the end of the year. No way, I can see Bayley getting seriously merc'ed by somebody in London, then being out for a few weeks. That will give her some time to recharge with the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Seeing Crews in an actual feud has already made him way more interesting. Good brawl and promo from him. The women's title stuff was handled really well setting up current and future matches. Jax and Asuka both fell unbeatable right now as strongly built up challengers which just goes to show the importance of squash matches and how stupid 50/50 booking is. Also really liked the world title stuff great promo from Joe and the cheap tactic to get one up on Finn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Nia Jax looks better and better each week. I can get behind an alliance between her and Eva. I think Nia is going to be everything they wanted Kharma to be. She needs some doomy music though. Her theme is too pop for a destructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will give her some time to recharge with the audience. While it would make sense to have this play out, can't help but feel selfish in not wanting to see Bayley lose the title. Unless they have some bigger and better plans for her, I just want her to have the title for the longest time. It would just be so damn sad seeing her lose. If anything I'd be fine with them doing this early next year but not next month. That said, Joe continues to be totally justified in his turn and that segment was fun. Loved the mix tag for all its wackiness and holy fucking fuck the tag title match warmed my heart. I love the old school approach Dash and Dawson bring where limb work is on point and they practically dominate. I love how Aiden thought he had it figured out early on, but once he got the chop block that was it for him He was a fool for tagging in after the hot tag, and I can see that adding tension to the Vaudevillains. Fun, fun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just another great episode of NXT. Liked that run-in by Crews to start the show. It was way over and Crews got to show more range than "happy to be here." I think he's definitely in line to be the next face champ. The mixed tag was a prime example of why NXT is the best. Out of those 6 people, I cared about maybe 1.5 of them going in, but together they all produced a really strong match that made everyone look more important at the end. I really liked the booking of Bayley as the #1 person in the entire match. Hitting the B2B on Murphy is a good subtle build to her being able to hang with Nia. Nia Jax is looking more comfortable each week, and the Eva angle is intriguing. I also liked the backstage segment with Bayley and Alexa where Nia handled the dominant tweener role perfectly. The tag title match was fine. I really like Dash and Dawson. They're an ideal straight-man team for all the other wacky charismatic teams around them. Them vs. Jordan/Gable is money. Joe's promo was good at the end, as was using Drake to set up the choke. I hope Joe gets a run with the strap. I'd love to see matches with him against Crews and Hideo (and Zayn of course if he comes back to NXT instead of the main roster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Nia Jax is the Brock Lesnar of the women's division. A force of nature. Neither heel nor face unless Eva has enough money to pay her off and the thing they've done with the Eva character is shown that she's taking vacations, doing what she wants, living it up.. They could totally play up that because Total Divas is successful she has more money than all of the other ladies. Now she can buy her victories.

Its just that with whatever is building, her losing the belt sooner than later seems likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
