Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 3 minutes ago, JCM said: I thought it was one of the best NXT promos of the past few years, and I didn't notice any HHH or Flair cosplay. I certainly can't remember the last time HHH cut a promo that good. Lemmy's funeral 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Gargano/Ciampa must have hung out with Full Sail's short-form improv team at some point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Roode bragged about his expensive clothing. That's about all he did in the Flair camp. I'm fine with that. I want more people in wrestling bagging about watches and matching socks. Or, even better, thinking that they're going to have Peter Thiel-types lining up for a five-hour NXT taping in suburban Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 In regards to that one TM61er, do wrestlers think at all before getting stupid tattoos on one pec or one shoulder? That seems a sure way to never be a main eventer. Good to see the Asuka that made Syuri cry appear. I'd love to see Athena just crap on her name/gimmick x10 what Becky Lynch did.

Solid worker, good heel bumper, doesn't do much in the way of high spots. I like that they brought in a guy who isn't likely to try and do super indy workrate matches.

CSC Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm going on vacation next week, and Roode's theme has already bumped anything I could have possibly thought of as track one of our road trip mixtape, The massive orchestra version of that if he ever makes a WrestleMania is gonna be....well yea.

Brian Fowler Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The theme. The slow setup (possibly even his real-life heartfelt opinions?) Into heeling it up. The theme song. The suit. That glorious theme song. I love Roode so much, and this was perfect. They better get A-Double a face turn and give them twenty minutes at least once.

Just amazing at stooging, showing ass, being a hateable prick, and never losing the ability to look dangerous. His feud with Aries might be the best thing TNA ever did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Roode has been cosplaying as Triple H since like 2004 with Team Canada. He was doing his whole moveset. But that's fine. I liked his promo and his new theme, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I loved Roode's promo. Acting like a face only to reveal he was being a heel all along and timing it so that he could turn on them RIGHT when the "What?" chants started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Bobby Roode has one quality heel theme, that's for sure. Asuka stole the show for me, though. That was an elite squash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that as a compliment. It sounds like something a hair metal band from the 80's would have sung if instead of ballads then did inspirational songs.

Craig H Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just now, Craig H said: The Rock Beyond that, Orton had tons of shitty tribal tattoos and then got a bunch of shitty skull tattoos over the tribal ones. That isn't one pec or one shoulder, but he had two sleeves of shit tattoos. He seems to have done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I guess I should have been more clear by saying a sure fire way to never become a main eventer. Rock and Orton were already there when they go their tattoos. And I have no idea of Orton's tattoo chronology but at least he's got coverage instead of a solo tattoo that just looks God awful.

Kyuubi Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Goddamn Asuka got that attitude. She came in that ring with the swag of a woman who wished a motherfucker would. She does what Finn Balor can't. She exudes presence when she enters the ring and throughout the match. Asuka is the type of person who offers you a front row seat as she casually murders a person. Like, I have been said that Asuka was never a babyface so I don't know what the fuck Tom was talking about when he said Asuka usually was respectful to her opponents. She taunts them. Plays with them. Then beats the ever loving hell out of them. Not in the plucky underdog way that she unleashes after being tormented. Naw, she straight wrecks fools and taunts them. I fucking love Asuka. Roode's promo reeked of generic asshole who thinks too highly of himself. Hideo's return was cool. Nice to have him back. He obviously lost some definition in his arm, but it is nice to see him again. Hopefully we see the GTS again although I don't know who is willing to take it outside of Samoa Joe and Nak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 But that's still not a ridiculous tattoo on one pec or one shoulder. Btw, those tribal tattoos were the thing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I read carefully enough to notice you only omitting the word "shoulder" from your most recent post. Also noticed you finding a picture of Rock that hides the bull tattoo he got on his right arm while he was still in the Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
