First he has to make amends with Steve Blackman and get him and Ken Shamrock as his trainers. Then he has to get his theme music remixed. "Here comes the cult of personality." Some combination of Living Colour, the folks that did Sanity's intro music, and Shane's kids (on tambourine, triangle, and Pink Floyd Dark Side Cash Register) play him out live for his match with Brock. Match starts with lots of punches, because hey, "It's Clubberin' Time." Sometime after all that, he can claim he's 204 1/2 pounds of greatness and beat either Ellsworth or Kallisto for the Cruiser belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Per the WWE Japan site - this is the NXT Japan card Asuka and Ember Moon are both listed as "Scheduled to appear" along with TM61, Wesley and Blake and Hideo Itami I wonder if they are going to try and get Kota Ibushi for that show already or figure they already have enough Japanese draws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kota may not have wanted to work NXT out of loyalty if he's booked for them the following night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm curious about the Revival v. Moss/Sabbatelli match. How often have they run heel v. heel matches on house shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 They dont Much like Tye Dillinger used to do on house shows - Tino/Moss will be faces as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Was at the show at the Theater at MSG tonight. Very good and I had a great time. Attendance was in the 3500 range, not close to sold out but certainly a good crowd for a show on a Wednesday. I have no idea why Nakamura in particular is in NXT. The guy is amazing and oozes charisma, he shouldn't be wasting prime years in the minor leagues at this point. Same for Joe and Bobby Roode. Funny note is that they were selling signed Nakamura pics for $10. Think when he was in for ROH the price for photos was more than twice that IIRC (of course you actually see him sign it as opposed to where they could've had some stagehand sign them as this is wrestling we're talking about) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Wrestling Twitter is also stupid Now to Mike's point about Nakamura This the argument basically in general Many feel that Nakamura has to be on the main roster because everything else is "minor" league The WWE (and others) feel that NXT is a third brand and isn't "minor" league (aka it really isn't development anymore) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think I read the average for main roster house shows earlier this year was 3900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main roster needs Nak. That being said, WWE should keep him in NXT for cult of personality purposes to keep that subscriber loot coming in. Once the new blood gets trained up and everyone is buzzing about them the way they use to go on about Finn and AA and Bayley, then they can move Nak to RAW or Smackdown so long as they don't bury him in some stupid mid-card angle. AJ vs. Nak will be an instant classic since those guys are really familiar with each other.. WWE needs to get out of the habit of raiding NXT and overstuffing RAW and Smackdown.

RIPPA Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Just for the record - basically it is our Irish friend, Kris and JJ Williams (from WON) bemoaning how there aren't any home grown talent anymore (and Tim can chime in the next time he visits the thread). Kris made the comparison to how ECW Arena felt after ECW started expanding That is the start of JJ's long commentary on it. I like JJ but to me that is wanting to cater to literally 250 people (and "Kevin" was literally in NXT for like 3 months so I am not sure how much a "connection" there was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 And I don't want to make it seem like I am picking on JJ - it was his tweets that started it.
