Eivion Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I like that Liv couldn't even last 2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Smart move to have guys like Lince and Cedric fill out the roster. Agreed on Mandy, she's got supermodel looks and is coming along very quickly. They may have something with her and to think The Miz was RIGHT about her probably..

sydneybrown Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I loved Asuka/Liv Morgan. This is how Asuka should have always been booked. No one buys her selling for half the match. But I definitely buy her doing one move, then hooking a submission to end it immediately. I also loved the crowd not knowing the match was about to happen and the collective gasp when they realized Liv was about to be destroyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 That Asuka/Liv match was as good as I could've hoped. If they don't let Asuka get to the main roster undefeated, they're wasting a massive opportunity. Mandy still needs to find her personality, but she's improving on the physical side of things. If she's gonna work that stiff, make her the next Asuka minute victim. The Joe beatdown on those AoP wannabes was good. Loved the senton stampede. Behind Asuka squashes, AoP squashes are my favorite thing about NXT right now. I hope they get to face the Revival in the Dusty Classic, but I'll settle for a match with DIY in the finals. Itami/Lince was decent. I love it when Itami can work with a little arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I dug Liv being squashed in under a minute though I thought the squash itself was thoroughly unimpressive. Conversely the AoP squashes continue to be good fun. Ember/Rose was nice. She along with Aliyah are showing some good potential for the future. Joe's beatdown on the Ealy Brothers along with Revival's reaction was good. Glad to see them doing something with Tye Dillenger. Looking at this and future shows they seem to have a decent plan down for rebuilding NXT after the heavy losses from the brand split. The women's division is the only part that has trouble and that is mostly because of the beast that is Asuka. The second Nia was gone they took away any developing talent who could realistically beat her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James F'n X Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The tag division is so weak in NXT right now. I hope they can find a couple gems in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't think the division is weak personnel-wise, it just has no direction. Revival, DIY, AoP, and TM61 are all decent to great teams, but there's nothing resembling an angle outside of the lingering Revival/DIY tension. The Revival have barely been on tv since Brooklyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I think that will be remedied somewhat by the Dusty Classic. With the right matchups I'm sure we'll hear about this for some time. I wouldn't worry about the tag division, but understand how the women's division seems weaker.

HumanChessgame Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Obviously the Dusty Classic needs its own thread, or should it be handled here like the CWC with a special section to minimize spoilers and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Favorite thing was Liv happily acknowledging a sign as she came down the ramp only for the sign to read "Liv To Regret This". "Precious" Paul can still cut an effective promo. Simplicity.. grizzled, wise voice without a need to scream or yell... just missing the Wall Street Journal.

SirSmUgly Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 AoP, super-confident Itami, good Corey Graves shitting on Tom Phillips, Ember Moon, and Asuka continue to be awesome. Joe got over as a heel with me just because he screwed me out of getting to see a Revival match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I was checking out Mandy Rose's wikipedia page and I see her last name is Saccomanno. She also happens to be from New York. Kramer's often talked about, but never seen friend was Bob Sacamano. Bob Sacamano was a real life friend of Seinfeld writer, Larry Charles, but the two had a falling out early in the series. Mandy Rose is Bob Sacamano's daughter. I like to think Bob Sacamano was really Kramer's "Tyler Durden". Mandy Rose is Kramer's daughter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I guess I can see why you'd do a Wiki search, but I'd rather search images if I'm going to look her up. Too bad I'm on a work computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see both of them in line for Asuka a few months from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's far superior to Eva Marie so I'm hoping they ditch Eva and push her to the moon. She so far has what it takes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll now be going to do some google image research to confirm whether or not my hypothesis is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Why is Mandy Rose already ahead of Carmella/Liv/Eva?! She looks way farther along in ring. Also has solid charisma to back it up; she's actually emoting and not just aping it. And those boulder shoulders, Becky's got competition! That was a snug freakin sell of the GTS by Dorado. Two great sells for him this week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I liked Liv putting her hair in a ponytail before the match to let you know that it was about to get serious. I'm always up for a good AoP squash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 There was talk on Twitter after the show about NXT's creative decline, but I thought it was one of the better shows in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Aren't there a couple (at least) more NXT ladies that showed up in that multi-woman tag match a few weeks back. Forgive me for missing names but I know there was the little Scottish woman in the blue gear and the bad ass working the MMA gloves and gimmick. Any word on them? I'm all in on Mandy Rose right now. She's already showing some great potential and she's still green as grass. That bicycle knee strike of hers has finisher potential. My guess would be Ember Moon agrees after eating it and spitting blood the rest of the match. The bloody mouth along with the red contacts actually looked sort of cool at the end of the their match.
