Correct They will do their usual taping a show before Takeover and then they tape the Wednesday after Takeover/Mania (April 5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think losing Dusty Rhodes has also greatly effected NXT on the creative side. So many ex-NXTers have talking about how influential Dusty is and how no one has been able to replace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 BTW - apparently they didn't make it as clear as usual if they were taping in order or not so I just made one giant tapings post because I am not trying to figure it out.

EVA Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah, all the tapings are in the bag, and I still have no clue what the NXT title match is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably shouldn't do that, but I kinda hope they do. Corey's reaction is going to be priceless. I was disappointed it was Drifter, but your Raw idea is too damn good for them not to do.

hammerva Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A little surprised that Ohno is still wearing ring gear that looks like throwback jerseys. Would think the legal types would be worried about trademarks issues wearing ring gear that looks almost exactly like 92 Dream Team. Good he is keeping that look and if he does multiple areas like he did before he could make a killing in merchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still surprise Dustin hasn't moved down there to be part of the staff, he's like perfect for it. Maybe he doesn't like teaching? Fortunately, Regal around. And HBK in whatever role he's going to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I seem to like throwing in everyone with Sanity, Dustin's versatile enough to try out a new gimmick. It'll be easy enough to setup; do it like D-Bry and the Wyatts but actually go through with it and have Sanity brainwash an already unstable Goldust.

If they threw Dustin in to team with an up and comer...given the fact that "fun loving happy lowcard babyface in a tag team with Goldust" is almost a rite of passage in WWE...yeah, he would absolutely end up teaming with No Way Jose.

hammerva Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Bill Goldberg congratulated Asuka on Twitter for having a streak of 149 wins in a row. While we know that Goldberg's was a huge work, it wouldn't surprise me if Asuka has won 149 in a row. I can't think of one match she has lost in NXT even in house shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 According to Cagematch - in 2016, Asuka had 3 losses and 2 draws As far as I can tell - that counts the #1 contenders battle royal that she didn't win (the one Carmella won) and the rest where 4 ways that either ended in no contest or someone else was pinned (and all those 4 ways were house shows) She is 16-0 in 2017 EDIT - oh and she had 112 wins. So that is 128 wins right there EDIT - Since she showed up in NXT, she won all 24 of her matches in 2015. So if they are ignoring the battle royal and the two "no contests" they actually shorted her a couple of wins and it should be 152 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a shoot interview/seminar thing with Dustin on YouTube during a patch of boredom a couple of weeks ago, and he said he used to be an agent, but hated it. Said there's too much politics involved backstage and he'd rather just wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
