RIPPA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My bigger problem with the list is actually Cesaro's inclusion as I never really considered him a NXT guy (though he did participate in some of the greatest NXT Matches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 My biggest problem would be excluding tag teams, as also stated. I generally watched NXT at points just for Revival vs. AA & DIY matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very important keeping the main event scene stable during the early network days before the wave of peak-day stars arrived and guys like Brodus Clay and Titus O'Niell were major players. I'd go Sami/Sasha as my 1/2, for what it's worth. Actually, he's on the list at number 14. And Cesaro definitely deserves to be on the list. His matches with Sami were one of the main reasons people started watching NXT more and it led to people like Balor and others feeling confident in wanting to join.

Go2Sleep Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I saw Neville at 14, but he should be top 5 whether you use kayfabe metrics or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Alexa Bliss being so high is the most glaring over-ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Standard post PPV show with recaps and a few good matches. The most notable thing to me was Kayla Braxton as the interviewer, she wasn't the typical WWE drone in those segments, more like a balance between a backstage person at an awards show and a legit sports style reporter. It was probably due to nature of the segments but WWE should do more stuff like that on TV instead of the standard they use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I swear I've seen Kayla interview before; I dig the two Latin ladies they hired for interviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 With the recent call-ups and new champion, it really feels like a hard reset for the NXT women's division. Hopefully, they roll out the introductions for the new signees from the MYC soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They should probably just put McIntyre on Raw or SD when he comes back. He would be a good surprise return in the Andre battle royal. It'll be interesting to see what direction they take with the title now. Almas is good, but doesn't feel like a long-term champ, plus you've got the Undisputed Era sitting at the top of the card, and they kind of need the "all the belts" gimmick, cliche as it may be. They should probably start rehabbing Gargano now so they can complete his redemption arc at WM weekend. I think Adam Cole is guy you want holding the belt in that spot, someone who can really needle Gargano about not being able to win the big one and has tons of dirty heel tricks to overcome.

Peck Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 For those that have been to the Florida house shows, what type of cards do they normally run if there's not a traveling weekend loop? In the sense of TV folks/non-TV folks. I'm going to be in Orlando in early February for non-wrestling related stuff but decided to grab a front row ticket to the Dade City show on 2/8(only $20!)

Tim Evans Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Usually, it's 7-8 matches. The main event is usually tv guys when there isn't a traveling loop. Most of the undercard is non-tv guys. Lately, it's been the Chinese guys vs vets. Last show I went to had Itami vs Gargano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Based on WWE's website - the matches that will air on tonight's NXT are Kairi Sane vs. Peyton Royce Street Profits vs. Riddick Moss/Tino Sabbatelli Pete Dunne/Mystery Partner vs. Trent Seven/Tyler Bate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
