mattdangerously Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Presentation-wise, Lorcan is missing something. I dunno what, though. Helluva worker, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 He's got the intensity and presence but there is a bit of a lack of character work beyond intense tough guy that would help people get behind him more. That's always been the case with him from what I can tell though he did have some awesome cheesy vignettes for Chaotic Wrestling when he was just starting out that I adore.

Wins and catchphrase, but mostly the wins. He's a great underdog that's always going full steam ahead no matter how much he's getting his ass kicked. He's been killing it whenever he gets the slightest opportunity, so hopefully he gets more to work with soon. That match with Drew is one of WWE's best this year. Speaking of Drew, he's Exhibit A for why we still need the indies. His confidence and execution is a night and day from his last WWE run. I have a feeling he'll live up to WWE's expectations this time around. Sweet send-off for Nakamura too, especially with Finn dropping by. It's good to see guys who deserve it get moments like that.

hammerva Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well this is a weird twist. After looking and listening to him, he is the Arnold version of Braxton Sutter with Braxton being the Danny Devito version After looking and listening to him, he is the Arnold twin version of Braxton Sutter with Braxton being the Danny Devito twin version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've always been a big Drew Mac fan, but man he was on a whole other level out there. Holding out hope they can make him a big deal again, he'd crush on Smackdown with the roster they have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Holy shit does Drew Mac ever look like a big league star. I know he's signed for a year, but this dude shouldn't be in NXT for a full year. I was never the biggest fan of his before, but he needs to be at the main event level on Raw or SDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 That Drew match was awesome. So stiff. Not enough love for The Iconic Duo continuing their video series of mockery. Billy Kay is good at slapstick. Funny bit. I liked the Ember Moon introspective piece. She has everything but an actual character. This is a good start for that end of performing. Now I have a hook to follow her story. She got robbed on the biggest night of her career. Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm guessing the one year thing will be for NXT, and once that one year is up, he'll jump to the main roster - sort of like what Nakamura did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Billie, I'd be wondering why Peyton gave that video to the producers, instead of deleting it from her phone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCM Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The new theme song sounds like an early 2000's P.O.D song. Black's song really doesn't need the RATM vocals. Miley looked pretty comfortable out there. Ember pouting and doing the sad Charlie Brown walk isn't going to make her a more likeable baby face. Asuka has a ton of charisma, and her heeling it up only shows more of her natural charisma. They're going to fool around and make Asuka the big baby face in this feud. It's kinda sad they couldn't think of a better way to set up a match for Billie and Peyton other than that silly backstage bit. That gutwrench catch by Drew was nuts. Great first match back for him. The thing I like most is that he carries himself like a star at all times. Aleister Black also has that superstar swag about him so it should be pretty hard for NXT to fuck up their next batch of top faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I thought the E was stupid as shit for not recognized what they had in Drew the last go around, but god damn, maybe it was the right call in the long run. This Drew is so much better then the old Drew. I know he's only set for NXT, but if WWE can't look at that guy and say "that's a gold mine" then I no longer think they can evaluate talent even a little bit. Also, fuck yes to Miley. His Iron Claw Headslams looked like a god damned murder attempt. I love the idea of him as a guy who is more then willing to play by the rules and be a good sport, until he randomly loses it and goes borderline Feral. The only downside to Miley is he, just by being himself, seems so super human it's hard to imagine someone beating him in a straight up contest. Fuck, I'd have a hard time buying DIY beating him 2 on 1. He feels like more of a monster then the AOP as a unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Miley's super sincere nerd voice instantly makes him one of my favorite guys. Make him a total dork with rage issues and take my money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brysynner Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Drew McIntyre is getting the NXT strap at Takeover: Chicago right? The only negative is they got rid of his "Broken Dreams" theme. I understand why they did it, but it was such a great theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep Black undefeated until he faces Drew for the title that should be a money match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Wrestlemania 35 main event: Braun vs. Miley Tagline: Dylan, you son of a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 For that tagline to work Braun would have to team with Dylan and work for the Authority, then later Dylan would have to become an announcer where he would presumably push too many pencils, thus allowing Braun to call him out for an unironic arm wrestling handshake and then fight the alien sent to hunt them. So Wrestlemania 34 will be Strowman vs the Predator, which I would definitely watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 After watching this weeks show, I think in going to try keeping up with it every week.I'm liking the roster as a whole. They just need to build back up the tag division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Interesting that, with the exception of DIY, the tag scene is currently a bit of a hoss division. Heavy Machinery, AOP, I think Dain and Wolfe have been teaming on house shows. Even Moss and Tino are pretty big lads. Speaking of tags, it's only one of TM61 who is injured right? Just seems strange the other guy has vanished entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
