JonnyLaw Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Who would have guessed after losing so much talent to the main roster, that losing their theme song would be what finally put NXT under. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It sounds like John Cena rapping over a generic nu-metal track. Holy shit, that's fucking awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 A few days ago I watched a few NXT TVs for the first time in a few months and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed Ohno, I hadnt seen much of him last indie run but I heard he was having a career run and thats saying alot but I really enjoyed his match with Roode. He's turned in to Takayama , i think his build makes the "Young Knock out Kid" style work. I dont get the criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I hope the new theme doesn't mean Alex Riley is coming back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Look, sorry guys. I see the crazy alien text that they've given Black for his name and tron and I think they should give him this guy's gimmick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm guessing the text is some Sumerian or ancient civilization's script. His tag team was the Sumerian Death Squad and satanists love ancient civilizations due to stories about evil spirits and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I couldn't care less about the new NXT theme. People making a big deal about it should actually check how long it plays for. I'll just say that it is weird that in 2017 there is still a persistence of rap-rock in WWE. That said, I do really like Black's music, even if it's knock off RATM rap-rock.

The text is neither Sumerian cuneiform nor Germanic runes, (the other theory I've heard.) The text has a one-to-one relationship with the letters of the name "Aleister Black", and most of the symbols look vaguely like the modern letters they represent. I'm pretty sure it's entirely made-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I assume there had to be an outside influence for the new announcer, Whoever hired the last 5 or so definitely had a type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Sugar Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Watching the 4/12 episode and in the highlight package for Authors of Pain, I got to thinking...WTF happened to TM61? Then I wiki'd them and realized Shane Thorne blew out his knee and won't be back until the fall. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
