Matt D Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I wonder what Finn is doing at the Orlando taping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Another recap I read said that Finn won after hitting Bloody Sunday. Let the speculation continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm sort of happy to see Carmella getting a shot, but at the same time surprised as she way less ready than Bliss was. On the other hand she is better off than Eva. I feel somehow this just ends with her dying by Nia and Bayley trying to avenge a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 BTW - Dana Brooke was at ringside with Emma so I am excited about her continuing to be an awesome 2nd So clearly isn't cleared to wrestle yet as they kept her out of the Battle Royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I am so over Finn Bálor. Send him up to the main roster so I don't have to see him on top of NXT. He's beginning to reach Seth Rollins-level unwatchability for me. I thought the promo work on this show was good, but Carmella has anti-charisma. There is nothing authentic or likable about her even when she's happily talking about her dad or whatever. Dana Brooke continues to excel in her Trash Talk 101 classes with Professor Mark Henry, apparently. Who is Santana Garrett? The Asuka match was my favorite thing on this show.

HumanChessgame Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Graves comparing Mojo to Slimer got a chuckle out of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Who is Santana Garrett? She seems very capable and her and Asuka could have went another ten minutes and I wouldn't have minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Who had the bright idea to use the term "Title Free Match" rather than "Non-Title Match"? I thought Balor and Crews had another good match but I assume there isn't a rematch in their near future as for some reason I was expecting another run-in by Corbin to keep teasing a result between those two. Emma is seriously fucking dope in those sunglasses. I liked goofy Emma but she has totally come into her own. Is this the last Full Sail show until Wrestlemania?

MGFanJay Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 "Title Free Match" has been some weird WWE term for a while now - it's bizarre, even by their standards. Fun show overall. Both the Asuka-Garrett and Crews-Balor matches were great. Hype Bros match kinda sucked, but that's the norm for them - Graves was hilarious mocking Mojo on commentary endlessly. Emma vs. Carmella was sloppy, but effective for Carmella while her boys looked strong squashing two jobbers in quick fashion. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/2dkwg7q7kgryjozblpp4wualibfxmtuo Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/2dkwg7q7kgryjozblpp4wualibfxmtuo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wasn't super into Vaudevillains/Hype Bros. Carmella < Emma, but she'll be plenty carryable next week. Emma has really been stellar since the heel turn. "Third best diva in the developmental division" doesn't SOUND like a compliment, but it really is. Santana Garrett looked great on that match, and I'd like to see more of her in NXT. Asuka's got amazing presence. Everything about her screams "badass". I'm just not that high on Enzo and Cass. Enzo cuts a great promo, but I'm just not that into their matches. Crews, by contrast, does not cut a great promo. His was incredibly bland. Finn's was better. The match, though, I thought was very good. Best Crews has looked in NXT. It was a change for Finn, too, not working from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ricky Starks was the jobber that Cass chucked out of the ring. No idea who the other guy was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Cass just tossing that dude to the floor was one of the great squash match bumps in memory. That was awesome. Dude just straight-up at the floor. A+. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Santana's been a Florida regular for years and had a brief TNA run in 2014 as "Brittany" but had a real breakout year last year, winning the NWA Women's Title & SHINE title and having long reigns with both plus a Japan tour so she was all over. Had some very good matches in Shine. Good to see her here and a solid short match with Asuka. Asuka continues to be the most fun performer to watch. I try to tune in to whichever episodes she's on. Balor/Crews was pretty good as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoychers Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just watched last night's NXT episode and Santana Garrett was in there with Asuka and looked great. Shame she didn't come out Ultimo Dragon style with all the belts! Sign her up already. Thought this was a better episode than recent weeks, which had sort of been dragging for me. Even Finn, who I'd begun to slowly grow tired of, pulled me back in with Apollo. They did a great babyface/babyface match, trying to one-up one another. Their chemistry seems very good too.

turk128 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 "There's a real possibility I'm going to punch you in the throat, Tom." Regal is thinner for sure, but he looks like he has had some good rest too. The surgery is already benefiting him.Is Santana Garrett signed? Because she damn well looked like she belongs. Emma really needs another shot in the main roster, her current gimmick would go over well with the crowd and immediately make her the top heel of the women's division. Bestest headlock city main event. Seriously, great ring psychology and pacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Have Enzo and Cass ever hit their finisher cleanly? It also seems like their timing is off and Enzo is jumping way before Cass is supposedly launching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Santana worked the next taping as well (vs. Emma), so it seems like she's on their radar. Saw her first several matches in the St. Louis area and it's cool to see how far she's progressed. I'm in for Gable vs. Gotch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Garrett lives in Orlando - so it is similar to the Blue Pants deal where if they need help, she is local. That being said - she is a far better worker than Leva She also used to live with Larry Zbysko and got training from Scott Hall she there are clearly folks in NXT with connections to her.

JCM Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 She already looks better than Carmella in the ring. I think Carmella will be mostly in a manager role on the main roster, and I think she'll get much more over there. I say it every week but Emma is way too good for her current role. I could see it if she was mildly attractive and didn't have "da look" for the MR, but she's smoking hot and a good worker. Plus her and Dana are a great act. Hopefully they get the call when Dana is ready. Balor vs Crews was pretty good, but not much happened before the big moves kicked in. Crews needs to find a way to add something to a match before the finishing stretch. I thought Balor gave a better performance in their last match. I still don't know what's going on with the Vaudevillians are they heels or faces or tweeners? I guess it was a good show considering it was the 4th one in front of the same crowd.

MORELOCK Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Emma really needs another shot in the main roster, her current gimmick would go over well with the crowd and immediately make her the top heel of the women's division. I highly doubt this - they've positioned Charlotte as top heel and are nonsensically turning Divas face like crazy just because there's a huge surplus of heels. Emma would immediately be lost in the shuffle, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Emma's not taking Charlotte's spot, but there's no reason Emma and Dana couldn't be slotted in the Bellas mean girls role as the heels the faces have to beat to get a shot at the title.

MORELOCK Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 As entertaining as her shit-talking has been, Dana definitely needs more seasoning before heading to the main roster. It was less than a year ago that everyone on this board was angrily calling for her to be off TV and I was the lone voice of "hey, tone it down." Almost every female in NXT "could" be thrown onto the main roster immediately, but in my opinion the only one that really *should* be called up ASAP is Bayley.
